Activeness of the Learning Process through the Think Pair Share Learning Model in Basic Electrical Subjects at SMKN 1 Lhoknga

Abstract

Vocational High School is an education that is organized by preparing students to work in accordance with certain fields. Vocational learning is lacking in the aspect of understanding so that it can affect student learning outcomes. At SMKN 1 Lhoknga, students' understanding is still lacking because the learning model applied is less able to optimize the development of students' understanding. To overcome this problem, the Think Pair Share learning model is applied which is in accordance with the learner-centered curriculum. The study aims to see the response and changes in the activeness of students in basic electrical subjects by applying the Think Pair Share model. This research uses a quantitative approach. The sample in this study were all students of class X TITL SMKN 1 Lhoknga, totaling 27 students. The instruments used are observation sheets and questionnaires. The results showed that the Think Pair Share learning model the average level of student activeness obtained was 79 with a trend of 79 ≥ 73.3 which was included in the very high category of student activeness. As for the response of students, it is 77.04%. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the use of the Think Pair Share model can increase the activeness of students in basic electrical materials.
