Understanding Poetry Through the Use of Cooperative Learning Model

Abstract

This study describes the learning process of inner and physical structure of poetry understanding through the use of Student Team Achievement and Division (STAD) and Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) cooperative learning models. In addition to the cooperative learning models, literary reading interest is also used as a consideration in the learning process of poetry understanding. This experimental study involved 63 samples from a total of 124 people. Samples were randomly selected and assigned into two experimental groups. The experimental group I, with a total of 33 subjects, was treated with the STAD model, while the experimental group II, with a total of 30 subjects, was treated with the CIRC model. The subjects in the two experimental groups were assigned to complete a literary reading interest questionnaire. After the treatment, a poetry understanding test was given to the subjects in the two groups. A t-test was subsequently used to examine the students learning outcome, by considering their interest in literary reading. The results of data analysis showed no significant differences in the application of cooperative learning models in poetry understanding. Both students with high and low literary reading interest found the learning models helpful in improving their performance in the understanding inner and physical structure of poetry. Students with low literary reading interest were motivated in the learning process as a result of the teamwork in completing the poetry understanding tasks.

Selain menerapkan model pembelajaran kooperatif, minat baca sastra juga menjadi pertimbangan dalam proses pembelajaran memahami puisi. Penelitian eksperimen ini dilakukan pada 63 orang sampel dari 124 orang populasi. Sampel dipilih secara acak dan ditugaskan ke dalam dua kelompok eksperimen. Kelompok eksperimen I dengan jumlah partisipan 33 orang diberikan perlakuan dengan model STAD dan kelompok eksperimen II dengan jumlah partisipan 30 orang diberikan perlakuan dengan model CIRC. Sampel pada kedua kelompok eksperimen diminta untuk mengisi angket minat baca sastra. Setelah diberikan perlakuan, sampel pada kedua kelompok eksperimen mengerjakan tes pilihan ganda memahami puisi. Hasil belajar kedua kelompok dengan menggunakan uji t-test dibandingkan dengan pertimbangan minat baca sastra. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan dari penerapan model pembelajaran kooperatif dalam proses memahami puisi. Model pembelajaran yang digunakan dapat membantu meningkatkan kinerja siswa dalam memahami struktur batin dan struktur fisik puisi, baik mahasiswa dengan minat baca sastra tinggi maupun mahasiswa dengan minat baca rendah. Mahasiswa yang memiliki minat baca sastra rendah termotivasi dalam proses pembelajaran karena adanya kerjasama tim dalam menyelesaikan tugas-tugas belajar memahami puisi. Kata Kunci: pemahaman puisi, pembelajaran kooperatif, minat baca sastra

Think-Pair-Share Model as Solution to Develop Students’ Critical Thinking in Islamic Studies: Is It Effective?

“…Wena (2010) stated that the use of strategies concerning learning activities is necessary since it facilitates the learning process to achieve maximum goals of learning. This can be developed in form of cooperative learning based in which it is the forerunner to achieve cooperative learning (Lee, Brown, & Lee, 2001;Saguni, 2013;Ramadhanti & Yanda, 2018).…”

The Potential of Circ’s Model in Poetry Learning at Higher Education

“…The questions tested consist of 50 items. These questions have been compiled, validated and tested [21]. To make it easier for students in the learning process to understand poetry with the CIRC model, they are facilitated with the book "Memahami Puisi".…”

“…To make it easier for students in the learning process to understand poetry with the CIRC model, they are facilitated with the book "Memahami Puisi". The book contains material on the introduction of poetry, understanding the elements of form and content of poetry, understanding the elements of sound in poetry, understanding the elements of language in poetry, understanding the elements of imagery in poetry, understanding aspects of figurative language in poetry [22].…”

“…This is consistent with the theory that the constructing element of poetry consists of the physical structure and inner structure of poetry. The physical structure of poetry consists of typography, imagery, concrete words, figurative language, and verification and the inner structure of poetry consists of themes, feelings, tones, and messages [22]. Students understand poetry in terms of the element of the poem, then interpret the things contained in the poetry they read.…”
