Relationship between Cooperative learning method and Students’ Mathematics Learning Achievement: A Meta-Analysis Correlation

Abstract

An appropriate learning method can improve students’ learning achievement. The cooperative learning method encourages students to improve their mathematics learning achievement. Mathematics learning achievement is one indicator of achieving learning objectives. Mathematics is an important lesson to be learned and must be mastered by students. The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect size of the relationship between Cooperative learning method and mathematics learning achievement through meta-analysis quantitative research approach. In this research, the cooperative learning method serves as an independent variable, and mathematics learning achievement serves as the dependent variable. The data was obtained from the online database search results on Google Scholar in 2010-2020. The sample used was 16 research publications that have met the specified criteria. The data analysis technique used was the meta-analysis quantitative approach with correlation meta-analysis. The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship (level of 5%) between the cooperative learning method and students’ mathematics learning achievement. The average effect size value was 0.15 in the range of 0.04 to 0.27 which was included in the low category. These results have proven the consistency of the findings of previous research.

A meta-analysis study on the effectiveness of a cooperative learning model on vocational high school students’ mathematics learning outcomes

“…Cooperative learning has a negligible effect of 0.445 in mathematics courses and a medium effect of 0.558 in high school. The same meta-analysis review found a 0.15 measure of the effectiveness of cooperative learning on students' mathematics learning outcomes (Setiana et al, 2020). The effect size of cooperative learning on students' cognitive capacities is 1.213 in the strong category (Alacapınar & Uysal, 2020).…”

“…Other research shows that grouping research articles published in SINTA and GARUDA-indexed journals have an appropriate measure of 1.04, higher than grouping papers published in Google Scholar-indexed journals or proceedings. The meta-analysis review is only based on the variables of education level, the field of study, culture, the field of mathematics, cooperative learning techniques used, and duration of mathematics learning (Agustini et al, 2021;Capar & Tarim, 2015;Kyndt et al, 2013;Mansurah et al, 2021;Setiana et al, 2020;Turgut & Turgut, 2018) and based on cognitive, affective, and psychomotor abilities (Alacapınar & Uysal, 2020). Kyndt et al (2013) employed moderator variables based on education level, study field, and culture.…”

“…The results suggest that Two Stay Two Stray cooperative learning has an effect size of 0.445 and an appropriate measure of 0.558 on high school mathematics learning outcomes. Setiana et al (2020) revealed that cooperative learning has a weak effect on students' mathematics learning outcomes. The meta-analysis research by Agustini et al (2021) employing correlation data reveals that the innovative student-centred learning model significantly enhances learning outcomes for different levels of education.…”

“…Cooperative learning in Iran, Turkey, and other Asian countries is more effective than in the US and other EU countries. Another study by Setiana et al (2020) found that cooperative learning has a weak influence on students' mathematics learning results across all levels of education. The meta-analysis by Agustini et al (2021) using correlation data demonstrates that the innovative student-centred learning approach is successful on learning outcomes dependent on education level.…”

Effect of Math Anxiety and Motivation Against Student Mathematical Connections Capabilities

“…Hipotenusa Journal, 3 (1), June 2021 Haerudin, Dewi Anjani, Didymus Ibrahi Thus directing students in learning mathematics is important so that understanding the concepts that will be needed to solve mathematics and other sciences (Setiana et al, 2020;Tomperi et al, 2020). For this reason, students need to have mathematical abilities.…”
