Abstract

This study aims to determine the implementation of the Talking Stick cooperative learning model in improving students’ learning outcomes in the Aqidah Akhlak subject for seventh-grade students at MTs DDI Pacongang. This research employs a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles consisting of the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of this study were 47 students. Data were collected through observation, learning achievement tests, and documentation. The results showed that the application of the Talking Stick learning model effectively improved students’ learning outcomes. This was indicated by the increase in the average learning scores from 77.31 in the pre-cycle to 78.59 in the first cycle and 82.31 in the second cycle. In addition, students’ activeness and participation during the learning process also improved significantly. Therefore, the implementation of the Talking Stick cooperative learning model is proven to be effective in enhancing learning outcomes and student engagement in the Aqidah Akhlak subject for seventh-grade students at MTs DDI Pacongang.
