THE USE OF JIGSAW METHOD IN IMPROVING STUDENT OUTCOMES AND
STUDENT ACTIVITY IN CHEMISTRY SUBJECT OF STUDENT CLASS X SMA N 2
AMLAPURA
A. BACKGROUND
Chemistry is the science which obtained and developed based on experiments of natural
phenomena; especially those related to the composition, structure and properties,
transformations, dynamics and energetics of the substance. Therefore, chemical subjects
include those linkages, involving skills and reasoning. Chemistry is a product; chemical
knowledge of the facts, theories, principles, laws, the findings of scientists, and scientific work
process. Thus, assessment and learning in chemistry, should consider the characteristics of the
chemical sciences, as products and processes.
Chemistry often becomes subjects that are considered difficult by students.
Consequence, many students are not successful in chemistry and activity of student learning in
following subjects are very low even none. Students' understanding on this matter is also not
maximal. That is because activity of students at the time to follow this matter, both in asking
and opinion very less. It is also exacerbated by the lack of teachers use a variety of teaching
methods.
Inactivity students in asking and opinion in subjects of chemistry, have a bad impact in
students' understanding of the lesson. Thus what is the purpose of the subject matter will be
difficult to achieve. In general, students tend to learn by memorizing rather than actively
construct their own understanding of chemical concepts. Thus, the concept of chemistry is still
an abstract concept for students. Therefore, necessary to do other alternative that is expected to
increase the activity of the students in asking questions and expressing an opinion in the subject
matter of chemistry. The authors propose a method Jigsaw as an effort to improve students'
skills in asking and opinion in the subject matter of chemistry. Jigsaw method was chosen
because this method has several advantages compared with other methods. Advantages of this
method as the students were more active in the class because each group has different problems
and students more easily understand the subject matter. Through this method students are
required to present their opinions related to the subject matter that will be learned. Thus activity
of students in the following lessons can be increased.
Based on the background and the problems mentioned above, the authors are interested
in conducting research on the class action "Use of the Jigsaw method of learning can improve

Every teacher has different ways of implementing a learning activity. Usually the way it
was planned before the implementation of activities. If not achieve optimal results, she tried to
find other ways to achieve its objectives. Process shows that, people are always trying to find
the best way to get the expected results. Any teachers who implement certain way in an activity
indicate that the person already done a strategy. And strategies is used accordance with the
conditions of time and place when implementation of activities.
Strategies applied in teaching and learning activities are called learning strategies.
Learning strategies include the purpose of learning activities, who is involved in the activities,
content of activities, process activities and supporting activities. The purpose of learning
strategies is the realization of the efficiency and effectiveness of learning activities that learners
do. The parties involved in learning are that educators and the learners interact educative
between to each other. Content of learning activities is a subject that comes from the
curriculum of an educational program. Process activities are the steps or stages through which
teachers and students in learning. Sources include facilities supporting learning activities and
tools of learning aids.
One type of learning strategy is active learning strategy. Active learning is any
learning that enables students to actively participate in the learning process both in the form of
interaction among students, and students with a teacher in the learning process. Active
learning has the following characteristics: 1. the emphasis of the learning process not on
delivery of information by the teachers but on developing analytical and critical thinking skills
on topics or issues discussed, 2. Students are not just passively listening to lectures, but doing
something related to the course material.
One type of learning is cooperative learning. Cooperative learning is a learning
approach that focuses on the use of small groups of students to work together to maximize the
learning conditions for achieving learning objectives..
In cooperative learning there are various types; one of them of cooperative learning is a
type jigsaw. Type of jigsaw learning, is cooperative learning is consisting of several members
in one group responsible for the control of the learning materials and be able to teach it to other
members of the group.
Initial Group

The steps of cooperative learning jigsaw type are as follows:
a. Base Group/ Initial Group
1. Students are divided into small groups consisting of 4-6 people
2. Distribute materials or tasks in accordance with the material being taught
3. Each student in the group given the task or a different material and understand
the information in it.
b. Expert Group
1. Collect each student has a task / material same in one group
2. In this expert group, the teacher assigns students to learn together to become an
3. Expert in accordance with the material or task is the responsibility of the
student.
4. Assign to all members of the group of experts to understand and can present
information about the outcome of the matter or task that has understood the
initial.
5. If the tasks have been completed in a group of experts, each student's return to
the initial group.
6. Give a chance to take turns each student to convey the results of the task in anexperts group.
7. If the group has completed its task , the overall of each group reported their
results and present to the class
One model of learning that can be applied is model of cooperative learning jigsaw type.
At this jigsaw model student who actively construct their own knowledge. By giving students
work actively in the learning process chemistry, means providing wide opportunities to use
skills in developing its chemical expertise. This model also emphasizes the activity of students

in discovering the concepts learned and the teacher only had a role as a facilitator and
motivator.
The activities in this jigsaw method is an activity that leads to the learning process such
as: students do not work on other subjects, are not influenced situations outside the classroom,
students listen the direction of the teachers, ask or answer questions the teacher, the task in a
group with great seriously and carefully, can express opinions in discussion, mutual help
among the members, notice is considered an important explanation of the teacher or other
students, responding to the stimulus of teacher gives and did not look bored when learning
takes place.
F. HYPOTHESIS
From the above explanation, it can made hypothesis as follows:
1. The relationship between the idea of jigsaw method and student outcomes
2. The relationship between the idea of jigsaw and student participation
3. The use of Jigsaw method could improve student outcomes in chemistry subject of
student class X SMA N 2 Amlapura

Picture 2. Steps of Action research
Explanation of the above flow is:
1. Initial plan, before conducting research, the researcher formulate problems, objectives
and action plan, including the research instruments and tools of learning.
2. Observations, including actions taken by the researchers in an effort to build students'
understanding of concepts and observe the results or impact of the implementation of
teaching methods by using a jigsaw
3. Reflection, the researchers examined, to see and consider the results or impact of
actions taken based on the observation sheets completed by the observer.
4. The revised plan based on the reflection of the observer make a revised draft to conduct
in the next cycle.
The research was carried out for three cycles. Observation divided into three rounds,
namely rounds 1, 2, and 3, where each round with same treatment (same flow of activities) and
discuss the subject of the sub, which ended with formative test at the end of each round. Made
in three rounds are intended to improve the teaching system has been implemented.
Based on discussions then most appropriate measures to increase learning is by increase
motivation, activity and participation of students in the learning activities. Related to that, then
the most appropriate action is by developing students' intellectual skills.
Based on the initial reflections, then the class action procedures of the research include:
(1) planning, (2) actions, (3) observation, and (4) reflection in each cycle.
The detailed procedures of action the research are outlined in following description.
