Abstract

Action research is a classroom action research that uses a cycle of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The main problem in this study is the low creativity of students of the Communication Science in the discussion process in the class as the application of the Student Center Learning (SCL) in the Communication Theory course. Generally, this research aims to improve student learning quality of Communication Science in Faculty of Social and Political Science of Universitas Andalas by using Jigsaw Cooperative Learning model. Action Research was carried out in two ways with discussion material that had been prepared before the class and students prepared discussion material for presentation in front of the class to be listened to by other students, and given creativity space for them to conduct class presentations. The data collection tool used consisted of course materials (Papers and Power points), evaluations (tests and non-tests), and observations. The subjects studied were all second-semester students (2017/2018 academic year) of Communication Science Study Program of Universitas Andalas who took Communication Theory courses. The results showed that using the Jigsaw model learning approach student learning outcomes each cycle experienced a significant change. The change from the one that almost all of the students were not good enough in the process of discussing the presentation was better. From the observations, students were able to show their creativity in discussing in front of the class. The discussion group consisted of one material which was divided into 5 students. The implementation of the learning approach with the Jigsaw model can ultimately improve student learning outcomes in the presentation of lecture material every week. Students can apply effective communication to speak in the class, express their opinions and thoughts on the materials that are the subject of the week in the Communication Theory course.
