The quality of mathematics learning material using a modification of Think Pair Share (TPS) model

Abstract

Think Pair Share (TPS) modification learning model is expected to strengthen TPS model syntax by changing the number of member in a group, a group of two into a group of three. The researcher has developed learning materials for TPS modification model using Plomp model. This study focuses on the practicability of the learning materials on the assessment phase of Plomp model. The practicality of the learning materials was evaluated by experts and teachers. The data was obtained from the pilot test involving 19 students in grade 9 of a junior high school in Aceh. The research instrument used was an observation sheet to examine the learning implementation. The results show that learning materials using TPS modification model met the practicality criteria. The finding implies that the learning materials using TPS modification model could be applied in the classroom.
