The effect of STAD learning model and science comics on cognitive students achievement

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the effect of STAD learning model and science comics on cognitive students achievement. The type of research was quasi-experimental. The research design used nonequivalent control group design which was consisted of two experimental groups and one control group. The sample in this research included 84 grade VIII students taken from Junior High School in Manokwari. The Technique of collected data used achievement test. The result of data analysis used Kruskal-Wallis Test showed that there was a mean difference of cognitive students achievement (P = 0.000 < 0.05), where the mean of cognitive students achievement taught used STAD learning model and science comics higher than cognitive students achievement of students taught used STAD learning model and conventional learning model. The 1st experimental group gain score was 0.59, the 2nd experimental group was 0.40, and the control group was 0.37. It can be concluded that there is an effect of STAD learning model and science comics on cognitive students achievement.
