Learning Strategies Group

In a model of cooperative learning is very important to facilitate students to be able to learn and work together in groups. There are several strategies how to create and run scenarios of learning in groups. Here are some of them.
Think-pair-share
this strategy allows you to listen to one another and have more time opportunity. After a discussion in pairs, students are expected to learn to talk and listen to others.
The order of group learning strategy think-pair-share is as follows:
1. Students listen while the teacher gives a question or task.
2. Students are given time to think of an answer / response individually.
3. Students are paired with one of her friends and discuss their responses.
4. Students are then invited to share their responses with the whole group / other couples.
The weakness in this manner is the group that consists of only two people, students or less gets a diverse perspective of opinion.
Numbered Heads Together (NHT)
This strategy is useful to check understanding, to review, as an antidote to the whole class to answer the question-format
Step:
Students form a team of 3-5 students and given a number to each student. Group is a mixture in terms of social background, race, ethnicity, gender and learning ability
1. Teachers ask questions directly or through the BLM.
2. Students discuss the answers together and make sure all members know the answer. If necessary, there is a functioning member checking the answers from each member.
3. Teachers call students by calling random numbers and the numbers of students with raised hands and give answers to be forwarded to all students in the class.
4. At the end of the session, the teacher with the students concluded the final answer of all questions relating to the material presented.
There are several benefits to the cooperative learning model NHT type of low student learning outcomes proposed by Lundgren in Abraham (2000: 18), among other things:
* Self-esteem becomes higher
* Improving attendance
* The acceptance of individuals into larger
* Behavior interfere into smaller
* Conflicts between diminished personal
* A deeper understanding
* Improving the kindness, sensitivity and tolerance
* Results higher learning
STAD (Student Teams Achievement divisors)
In general, STAD can be implemented with the following steps:
1. Forming a group of four people in a heterogeneous (mixed by achievement, gender, or tribe),
2. The teacher presents the lesson,
3. Teacher gives task group to work by group members. Members of the group who already understand the material, is expected to explain what is incomprehensible to members of another group until each member of the group understand the material in question,
4. Teachers give quizzes / questions to all students. At the moment working on a quiz / questions, students must work alone,
5. Give an evaluation,
6. Conclusion.
Jigsaw
Jigsaw can be used to develop concepts, to master the material, as well as for discussion and group work.
The steps are as follows:
1. Students are grouped into teams.
2. Each person in the team is given a different part of the material
3. Each person on the team was given the assigned material
4. Members from different teams who have studied the section / chapter of the same sub group met in the new (expert groups) to discuss their section.
5. After completion of discussion as a team of experts each member returned to the original group and take turns teaching their teammates about the sub-chapter that they control and every other member listening intently
6. Each team presented the results of expert discussions
7. Conducted tests to determine whether students have understood the material discussed.
8. Teachers provide evaluation and conclusions
this proposed strategy is still very common and can be modified and adapted to the situation class.
