Application of Jigsaw Cooperative Learning Model on Spectroscopy Subject
The goal of this study was to describe the differences in students learning outcome, between those who use the jigsaw learning model with those who study conventionally in analytical chemistry learning. This research used quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent design and control grup design. The research conducted at chemistry study program fifth semester. In the non-equivalent control group design, the sample was not chosen randomly but by purposive sampling technique. The sample was chosen by purposive sampling technique. The research used two classes, i.e. class A as the experimental-class and class B as the control-class. Both classes were given pretest to find out the student's initial ability before being given a lesson and a posttest to find out the student's final ability. This research was conducted in three meetings in accordance with the material to be delivered. In experimental-class, we used jigsaw learning model. In this learning model there were stages in the organization where students can discuss by expressing their thoughts, exchanging knowledge, understanding and abilities and correcting each other among friends in the group. The average value of the final learning outcomes of the experimental class students showed a value of 70.24 and a control class of 60.00 with a value of sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 < sig. alpha = 0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that there were significant differences in the student ability of learning outcomes using the jigsaw learning model with those using conventional learning.
