Think Pair Share (TPS) Model Using Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) Approach in Mathematics Learning

Abstract

The students achievement in mathematics is low because the lack of learning innovation. This research was conducted to students' mathematics learning achievement by through the think pair share (TPS) model using science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) approach designed in quantitative descriptive research. The population of this research was students in the eighth grade in the whole Junior High School in Karanganyar Districts, and the sample of the research was students in the eighth grade in SMP N 1 Matesih. The findings revealed that the TPS model using STEM approach had better mathematics learning achievement in geometry than students with TPS model. Moreover, students with TPS model had better mathematics learning achievement in geometry than students with direct learning.
