The impact of think pair share model on mathematics learning in elementary schools

Abstract

One objective of mathematics learning is to solve problem and to communicate idea to get a solution. Human life is inseparable from social activity, including cooperation. Similarly, in mathematics learning sometimes students need friends to discuss with in solving mathematics problem. Cooperative learning model can be an alternative to bridge the difficulty the students encounter. The objective of research was to identify the impact of Think Pair Share type of Cooperative learning model on mathematics learning in elementary school. This study was a descriptive qualitative research. The subject of research was the fifth graders of three elementary schools in Karangpandan Sub District. Techniques of collecting data used were observation, interview, and documentation. Observation was conducted to observe the learning process using Think Pair Share-type of cooperative learning, interview to find out the impression and the impact the students experience, and documentation to find out the group's work. The conclusion of research showed that there are some impacts found in mathematics learning using Think Pair Share type of cooperative learning related to: (1) group establishment; (2) learning environment; (3) learning achievement; (4) student participation; (5) information exchange; and (6) interpersonal relation.

Flipped Learning with Nearpod Media: Enhancing Digital Learning Outcomes in Primary Mathematics

“…The pedagogical process of mathematics is an elevated cognitive endeavour that necessitates a progressive, sequential approach, building upon the experiential knowledge of students (Muhtadi et al, 2022). The primary objectives of mathematics education encompass problem-solving, idea communication, and solution discovery (Ardiyani et al, 2019). The pivotal role of mathematics education across all educational levels is instrumental in fostering resilience in students through mathematical proficiency (Lestary et al, 2023).…”

New approach to solve some problems in undergraduate education of chemical engineering students

“…Within this context, classroom discussion is a key topic in the educational sciences. Researchers increasingly agree that learning is most effective when students are actively involved in a dialogic and conversational classroom [9][10][11]. In recent years, there has also been many new and different approaches in terms of providing support to education [12][13][14][15].…”
