Application of Think Pair Share and Numbered Head Together Model on Mathematics Learning Outcomes

Based on events in the field, learning mathematics is still carried out conventionally so that students feel bored and less interested in learning mathematics; one solution is to apply a cooperative learning model, namely think pair share and numbered heads together. This study aims to compare mathematics learning outcomes among students whose learning is through the application of the type cooperative model Think Pair Share (TPS) and Numbered Head Together (NHT) type in class VII of an Islamic Junior High School in Central Java, Indonesia, with the selection of class VII B as experimental class 1 with 31 students and VII E as experimental class 2 with 31 students. This type of research was experimental research. Data collection techniques in the study were through observation, documentation, and test techniques. Data analysis in this study used descriptive and inferential analysis, including a normality test, homogeneity test, and Independent Sample t-Test with a significant level of 5%. Calculation of the independent sample t-test obtained a significance value (2- tailed) of 0.000 < 0.005, and the calculation of the gain score received a value of 0.7009. The result of this study indicates that the Think Pair Share (TPS) learning model is better than the application of learning outcomes using the Numbered Head Together (NHT) learning model on the mathematics learning outcomes with the category of “High” improvement.
