Comparing the Effectiveness of Moodle-Based STAD and TAI Cooperative Learning in Teaching Mathematics in Junior High School

Abstract

The development of information technology in education, like the emergence of digital media, eases us in obtaining information. An educational application called Moodle, STAD (Student Team Achievement Division), and TAI (Team Assisted Individualization) are parts of cooperative learning. It is an experimental study comparing the learning output of Mathematics using LMS Moodle with two types of cooperative learning, namely STAD and TAI. The model is considered effective if the learning outcomes reach a score of 75. The hypothesis was analyzed using inferential statistics (t-test for independent sample / Mann Whitney U). The findings show that in the class taught with Moodle-based STAD cooperative learning, the percentage of students who obtained scores in the Highest Category was 13, and 87% of students reached scores in High Category, meaning that, classically, students passed the completeness criteria. Six percent of students in the class taught with Moodle-based TAI cooperative learning obtained the highest score, and 58% passed the standard score, so classically, they also passed the completeness criteria. Consequently, STAD cooperative learning is more effective than Moodle-based TAI to be applied to junior high school students in Mathematics classes.
