achievements of students. In this case, the role of the
teacher in guiding and providing learning material
also influences the potential for student
achievement. The use of the learning model is one of
the supporting success of students in capturing or
absorbing the lessons delivered by the teacher.
According to Slameto (2003: 88), the recitation
method is a way of delivering learning material by
giving assignments to students to be done outside
the school schedule within a certain period of time
and the results must be accounted for to the teacher.
The method of assignment and recitation is expected
to enable students in the learning process so that
lessons can be easily understood by students.
Accounting science is a type of procedural
knowledge that is the knowledge that teaches step by
step and trains skills specifically. One method of
learning that is suitable to be applied in the process
of learning accounting is the method of giving a
recitation. This recitation method can train students'
abilities independently by giving assignments and
training students to be able to account for the results
made. According to Djamarah (2010: 85) Recitation
method (assignment) is a method of presenting
materials in which the teacher gives a specific task
so that students carry out learning activities. The
problem is that the tasks carried out by students can
be done in the classroom, schoolyard, laboratory,
library or wherever the task can be done. The
method of giving assignments given by the teacher
so that students do learning activities is not only
done at home but can be carried out in the library, at
school and elsewhere.
TGT learning model is a learning model that
involves students in learning and teaching others and
encouraging students to be more active in the
learning process. Starting with the delivery of
material outlined by the teacher, then students are
divided into several groups according to their level
of ability. Students discuss in groups to work on
questions, while the teacher provides sufficient
knowledge. After discussing each representative
from the group, they are welcome to take the
shuffled card, then each group scrambles to answer
the questions that are being completed. Then the
teacher concludes the learning material (Slavin in
the book Etin Solehatin and Raharjo 2009).
If the learning model is an external factor that is
thought to influence an increase in students
'understanding, there is certainly an internal factor
that also influences students' understanding of
adversity intelligence.
As already explained in whatever factors that
influence student understanding above, there is an
explanation of one of the factors that influence
understanding, namely psychological factors that
include intellectual or student intelligence. In this
case, the researcher relates the influence or
relationship between students' understanding of
adversity intelligence.
According to Stoltz (1997), the definition of
Adversity quotient can be seen in three forms,
namely:
a. Adversity quotient is a conceptual framework to
understand and improve all aspects of success
b. Adversity quotient is a measurement of how a
person responds to difficulties.
c. Adversity quotient is a tool based on scientific
knowledge to improve one's ability to respond to
difficulties.
Adversity intelligence (Adversity Quotient or
AQ) is the ability possessed by individuals to
survive or give up (tenacity or perseverance) in the
face of various difficulties or challenges. Learning
problems and difficulties faced by students can make
the student despair in facing it or otherwise, the
student becomes challenged to solve it. Students
who give up easily and despair show that their
adversity intelligence level is low (quitter level),
while students who have high curiosity, and never
give up show high level of adversity intelligence
(climber level). The method used to measure a
person's level of adversity intelligence is to use the
Adversity Response Profile (ARP) test.
Explanation of students' adversity intelligence
explained that in the learning process, certainly, not
all students have the same level of adversity
intelligence. To find out whether each student has
high adversity intelligence, low or moderate teachers
need to give a test in order to know how to treat
children at different adversity levels. Of course, this
can affect students' understanding or learning
outcomes.
The purpose of this research is as follows:
a. To find out the differences in students'
understanding of accounting subjects who learn
using recitation learning models with the
learning using the TGT learning model.
b. To find out whether the understanding of
students whose learning uses recitation learning
models is better than those who learn using the
TGT learning model for students who have low
adversity intelligence in accounting subjects.
c. To find out whether the students' understanding
of learning using the TGT learning model is
better than the learning using recitation learning
models for students who have high adversity
intelligence in accounting subjects
