Improving Learning Quality Through NHT Cooperation Model in Indonesian Vocational Schools

Abstract

One of the objectives of cooperative learning is to improve student performance in academic tasks and improve student learning outcomes. This research uses action research method from Kemmis & Taggart with vocational student respondents. Student activity during Total Numbered Heads Together cooperative learning works better, and teacher-run teaching activities are significantly improved. Thus, the mastery of learning can be achieved by applying cooperative learning model type Numbered Heads Together. Student response in this cooperative learning is positive, students enjoy the learning process and are motivated to collaborate during the learning process.
