Cooperative Learning Model as Mathematic Concept Introduction for Early Childhood
Abstract: The aims of the
research were to find the effectiveness of the model and identify the
differences in the experimental group and the control group. The research was
an experimental research of the type of nonequivalent control group design. It
examined the cooperative learning model in developing mathematics for early
childhood. It is limited to the introduction of mathematics skills in geometry
and pattern capabilities. The sampling used purposive sampling, and the number
of samples in each group was 30 children. From t-test results, it was found
that the mean of the pretest of 47.47 turned into 31.07, so the experimental
group increased by 16.4. It was found that tcount = -14.135 with the Sig. (2
tailed) <0.05. It means that there is a difference between the pretest and
posttest in the experimental group. The results of t-test of the control group
show that the mean of the pretest of 42.60 turned into 31.60, so the control
group increased by 11. It was found that tcount = -10.322 with the Sig. (2
tailed) <0.05. It means that there is a difference between the pretest and
posttest. However, the differences shown by the increase in the mean of the
control group are smaller than the increase in the experimental group.
