Increase In Activity And Learning Outcomes In Pharmacy Mathematics With Jigsaw Cooperative Learning Model At Pharmacy Academy Of Dwi Farma

Abstract

<strong>Introduction: </strong>In Pharmacy Diploma Program, mathematics is known as pharmaceutical mathematics. Due to the importance of pharmaceutical mathematics in practice, it is important to have a basic mathematical skill as a basis in calculations in pharmaceutical science. Therefore, it is necessary to create a lecturing condition that enables students more active in understanding the lessons. This research aims to describe the use of jigsaw cooperative learning model in the pharmacy mathematics lecture at the Pharmacy Academy of DWI Farma.<br /> <strong>Method: </strong>The learning method an appropriate method for this research's purpose is Classroom Action Research with Jigsaw cooperative learning model. This research consists of 2 cycles with planning, execution, observation and reflection. In this research, researchers directly, become the research's perpetrators, seeks to improve the learning process with jigsaw cooperative learning model.<br /> <strong>Result: </strong>The Minimum completion criteria for pharmacy mathematics lecture is 75. Average learning outcomes in the cycle I is 70.73, then increase in cycle II in 75,07. Based on Cycle II, The minimum completion criteria for this course has been achieved. The positive effects Jigsaw cooperative learning model include active, creative, confident, enthusiastic, and happy to work together in a group.<br /> <strong>Conclusion: </strong>This research shows that increase in Activity and Learning Outcomes in Pharmacy Mathematics with Jigsaw cooperative learning model at Pharmacy Academy of DWI Farma can increase student learning activity in every cycle. Students become more active, creative, confident, enthusiastic, and happy to work together in a group.<br /> <br />
