Implementation of Think Pair and Share (TPS) Learning Method to Improve Muṭ āla’ah Learning Outcomes at Junior High School Institute of Darul Istiqomah Balong

Junior High School Institute of Darul Istiqomah is one of the schools in Balong Ponorogo and uses the Darussalam Gontor Modern Islamic Boarding School and the general curriculum. Because of the large amount of material that must be studied in the learning process, the teacher should already have a fixed learning method in school. Also, due to the lack of variety in teaching, some students got low marks after exams. Thus, there must be a change in learning methods; one of the learning methods to increase student learning activities and outcomes is the Think Pair and Share (TPS) learning method. The objectives of this research are: To explain and improve the learning activities of class 2B students in the mutolaah subject by applying the Think Pair and Share method and to describe and improve the learning outcomes of class 2B students in the muṭ āla’ah subject using the Think Pair and Share method. This study uses Classroom Action Research (CAR). This research was conducted at SMP Darul Istiqomah Balong Ponorogo, and samples were taken from 14 students of class 2B. The results of this study indicate that (I) the application of the Think Pair and Share method can increase activeness and (2) student learning outcomes in the learning process. The first cycle of student activity reached 50%, then increased in the second cycle to 92.85%. Student learning outcomes in cycle I reached 7I.42% and increased in cycle II by 100%. Thus, the researcher hopes that all teachers will apply appropriate learning methods in the learning process.
