Abstract

What university students from different cultures and origins achieved through cooperative learning was subjected to a classroom inquiry. The inquiry centered on student’s achievement about language skills through Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD) learning method. This study aimed at identifying the effect of implementation of STAD on university students’ learning spirit and their fictional analysis competence. The data were collected through tests and questionnaire. The population was 3 classes (about 90 students) of year one at English Department, Faculty of Humanities, Andalas University (Unand) in the even semester 2017/2018. One class was chosen as the sample of the study. The implementation of STAD indicates that the method was influential to improve the learning spirit of the students, including their discipline, interest, cooperativeness, and seriousness. It also was able to upgrade their fictional analysis both in written test and oral presentation. Furthermore, there was an effect of learning motivation toward student analysis of fiction. The lecturers and the students committed to learning can continue to enjoy the outcomes while focusing on cooperative process. It is the process that is capable of unleashing the energies of most stakeholders in education: teachers, students, officials. The process, if conducted in a well-planned and careful way, will result in the establishment of a generation that endures in a renewable way at all levels: knowledge, skills, and attitude.
