The Effect of Cooperative Learning Model of STAD to the Mathematics Understanding

Abstract

This study aims to explore the differences in math understanding of students taught using Student Achievement Divisions (STAD) and classical learning models and the student interest to mathematics learning on using cooperative learning with STAD and classical models. This research method includes the type of quasi-experimental research using Treatment by level design. Based on the results of data analysis it can be concluded that learning math with cooperative model with STAD implied to the enhancement of math understanding, better than using classical model. Learning with cooperative and STAD model give the positive impact to the interest on mathematics.
