Abstract: This research aims to improve student learning outcomes in the material "Animal Life Cycle" in grade IV MIN 6 Padang City by using a cooperative learning model of the STAD (Student Teams Achievement Divisions) type. The STAD cooperative learning model is designed to increase students' active involvement through mutually supportive group work in understanding the material. This study uses a quasi-experimental method with pre-test and post-test designs. The subjects of the study were grade IV students who were divided into small heterogeneous groups. The results of the study showed a significant improvement in student learning outcomes after the implementation of the STAD model. The average score of pre-test and post-test students has increased, which indicates that the application of STAD-type cooperative learning can improve students' understanding of animal life cycle materials. In addition, the STAD model also improves students' social skills and cooperation in groups. Thus, STAD-type cooperative learning can be used as an alternative in improving student learning outcomes in the "Animal Life Cycle" material, as well as encouraging students to participate more actively in learning. This research is expected to be a reference for educators to develop more effective and fun learning strategies.References
