MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN KONSEP KELARUTAN DAN HASIL KALI KELARUTAN MELALUI PEMBELAJARAN KOOPERATIF TIPE THINK-PAIR-SHARE PADA SISWA KELAS XI SMA NEGERI 1 SUWAWA

Abstract

The research is classroom action research and conducted at students of XI class in SMA
Negeri 1 Suwawa in 2008/2009 academics years. The sample was 26 students that consisted of 5 male
students and 21 female students. The research aimed to improve students comprehension ability in
solubility and solubility product concept through cooperative learning of Think-Pair-Share type. The
research was had 2 cycles, in where there was an improving of teacher interaction in learning with
average value as 3,27 (81,75%) in good category at first cycle and became 3,63 (90,75%) in excellent

criteria at second cycle. Also, there was an improving of students achievement that was 62,5% at first
cycle and improved to 88% at second cycle. Therefore, it showed that there was an improving of
students comprehension ability in solubility and solubility product concept through Cooperative
learning of Think-Pair-Share type. Hence, the hypothesis that stated, If in learning about solution and
result times solution used cooperative learning of Think-Pair-Share type then students comprehension
ability in XI class of SMA N 1 Suwawa can improve is accepted.
