Empowering Students’ Collaboration Skills Through Remap-STAD Assisted by The GitMind Application on Biology Learning

Abstract

Students' collaboration skills at school still need attention to be empowered and improved. Some students at school experience difficulties in this skill so they are still in the low category. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the reading concept mapping-student teams achievement divisions (Remap-STAD) assisted by the Gitmind application learning model on the collaboration skills of class X students in Biology learning. This research is a type of Quasi Experimental research. The research design used was Pretest-Posttest Nonequivalent Control Groups Design, participants in this research were 70 class X students at SMAN 9 Malang, East Java, Indonesia, the classes used are class X MIPA 8 (experimental class using the Remap-STAD assisted by the GitMind application model) and X MIPA 9 (control class using the STAD model). Data collection techniques were carried out using self-assessment and peer assessment questionnaires of collaboration skills. Collaboration skills refer to indicators: works productively, demonstrates respect, compromises, and shared responsibility; everyone contributes. Collaboration skills data were analyzed using the One-Way ANCOVA test at a significance level of 5%. Then proceed with the LSD test. The research results show that the Reading Concept Mapping-Student Teams Achievement Divisions (Remap-STAD) assisted by the Gitmind application learning model has an effect on students' collaboration skills. This is proven by a significance value of 0.000<0.05. Therefore, the Reading Concept Mapping-Student Teams Achievement Divisions (Remap-STAD) assisted by the Gitmind application learning model can be used as an alternative learning model to improve students' collaboration skills in learning Biology.
