Cooperatif Learning Models Simulation : From Abstract to Concrete

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a simulation of cooperative learning model that used students as prospective teachers in improving the quality of learning, especially for preparedness in the classroom of the microteaching learning. A wider range of outcomes can be used more widely by teachers and lecturers in order to improve the professionalism as educators. The method used is research and development (R&D), using Dick & Carey development model. To produce as expected, there are several steps that must be done through global research, among others, do steps (a) conduct in-depth theoretical study related to the simulation software that will be generated based on cooperative learning models to be developed , (b) formulate figure simulation software system is based on the results of theoretical study and (c) conduct a formative evaluation is done by content expert, design expert, and media expert to the validity of the simulation media, one to one student evaluation, small group evaluation and field trial evaluation. Simulation results showed that the Cooperative Learning Model can simulated three models by well. Student response through the simulation models is very positive by 60 % and 40% positive. The implication of this research result is that student of teacher candidate can apply cooperative learning model well when teaching real in training school hence student need to be given real simulation example how cooperative learning is implemented in class.
