The role of teams games tournaments (TGT) against activity of learning elementary school students

The purpose of this study is to explain theoretically about the role of teams games tournaments ( TGT ) on the learning activities of elementary school students . Many factors influence the success of primary school students including the activeness of students in participating in learning. To optimize the activity of learning an appropriate learning model is needed. The right learning model is expected to develop its critical thinking skills and be able to actively participate during the learning process. Through the TGT learning model can train students to think critically in tournaments and quizzes. And student learning activities can be built through group learning in teams. This is reinforced by previous studies using the TGT model for critical thinking skills, the results show an increase, or in other words the effectiveness of critical thinking skills using the TGT model has increased. Based on the discussion of theoretical studies that have been presented theoretically reviews : teams games tournaments ( TGT ) have a role in the activity of learning in elementary school students
