This study aims to examine the implementation of the cooperative learning model Think Pair Share (TPS) in improving students’ learning outcomes in Arabic language learning at Pesantren Paqusatta, as well as to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in its application. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method and is categorized as field research. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document studies using a descriptive technique. The findings reveal that the implementation of the Think Pair Share model in Arabic language learning is effective in enhancing students’ learning outcomes and engagement. Students became more active and confident through the three main stages of the Think Pair Share model: first, providing a question or problem for students to think about individually (think); second, asking them to discuss in pairs (pair) to share answers and refine their understanding; and third, selecting several pairs to present their discussion results in front of the class (share), followed by correction and feedback. The supporting factors include providing opportunities for students to think independently, encouraging peer discussion, presenting ideas in front of the class, fostering collaboration among students, accelerating comprehension of learning materials, and helping improve Arabic speaking skills. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors consist of limited vocabulary, difficulties in constructing sentences, students’ shyness or lack of confidence and fear of making mistakes when speaking, the need for more time in discussion and presentation, and limited facilities.

This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles. The subjects were 24 students of class XII TM 2 of the Mechanical Engineering Expertise Program at Semen Padang Vocational School in the odd semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. Data collection was carried out through learning activity observation sheets, practical assessment sheets, and multiple-choice tests to measure students' cognitive learning outcomes. The implementation of Creative Products and Entrepreneurship learning at Semen Padang Vocational School was previously teacher-centered. Students tended to be passive listeners during the learning process, which led to low participation, minimal interaction, and a lack of understanding of the material. As a result, most students were unable to achieve the Minimum Completion Standards (SKM). Based on this, the Jigsaw Cooperative learning model is considered suitable for application in Creative Products and Entrepreneurship learning, because it is able to create a student-centered learning atmosphere and encourage active involvement and cooperation between students. The results of the study prove that the application of the Jigsaw Cooperative learning model is effective in improving student learning outcomes. This is based on the average student learning outcomes in cycle 1 of 75.2, where 17 students were declared complete. In cycle II, the average student learning outcomes were 85.2 with 21 students declared complete. The significant improvement in cycle II indicates that the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning model is not only effective in improving cognitive learning outcomes but also able to improve the quality of interactions between students in the learning process. Students become more active in discussions, disseminating information, and are responsible for understanding the material they are learning and sharing with their groups.

This study aims to analyze the correlation between learning models and student achievement at SMA Negeri 1 Kuala by applying the Apriori algorithm in data mining, using Rapid Miner software as the primary tool for analysis. The research is motivated by the shift in educational approaches from conventional teacher-centered methods toward more innovative strategies such as project-based learning and cooperative learning, which are expected to foster higher levels of student engagement and improve academic outcomes. In many schools, particularly at the secondary level, the choice of learning model, availability of facilities, and attendance rates are crucial factors that shape learning effectiveness and student performance. The data collected in this study include student grades, the types of learning models implemented, school facility conditions, and attendance rates for the 2023/2024 academic year, covering a total of 680 students. The Apriori algorithm was employed to discover hidden patterns and associations among these variables, enabling the identification of relationships between learning factors and academic achievement. By applying Rapid Miner software, the research systematically generated association rules that reflect meaningful correlations in the dataset. The results indicated that the use of the Indonesian language subject in combination with a cooperative learning model, adequate and complete school facilities, and good student attendance was strongly associated with the attainment of an A grade. This finding was supported by a support level of 53.33% and a confidence level of 100%, suggesting a robust and reliable relationship between these factors. The implementation of data mining techniques through Rapid Miner not only allowed for efficient data processing but also provided practical recommendations for educators and school administrators in designing effective instructional strategies.

This study aims to improve student learning outcomes through the implementation of the cooperative learning model of the jigsaw type in science instruction for Grade V students at SDN 76/IX Muaro Jambi. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis & McTaggart model, which consists of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research was conducted in two cycles to measure progressive improvements in student learning outcomes. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The subjects were all 20 students of Grade V at SDN 76/IX Muaro Jambi. In the pre-cycle stage, before the intervention, only 25% of the students achieved satisfactory learning outcomes, which was categorized as "not yet meeting expectations." After the implementation of the first cycle, student achievement improved to 50%, falling into the category of "approaching fairly successful." However, this result had not yet reached the expected level of success. In the second cycle, the application of the jigsaw-type cooperative learning model was further optimized. The results showed a significant increase, with 80% of students achieving successful outcomes, which was categorized as "approaching highly successful." This improvement demonstrates that the jigsaw model effectively enhances student engagement, individual and group accountability, and conceptual understanding in science learning.
