摘要:Student achievement is influenced by many factors, both internal and external factors. From the many factors that affect student achievement is the teacher's teaching method,The teacher's teaching method is still dominant with teacher centered like teacher-centered learning activities where the teacher is the only information on the subject matter. This situation causes students to be bored and less enthusiastic in understanding the subject matter, especially followed by the lack of learning media. As a result, student learning achievement is not optimal. For this reason, more creative teachers are needed; teacher should use various models and teaching methods. The objective is to involve students in the learning process more actively and learning to be fun. The purpose of learning is not only students to memorize the subject matter but also to form student competencies through main competencies and basic competencies so that they can be used asnecessities for future life. The purpose of the study was to apply a snowball throwing type of cooperative learning model to improve student achievement in social studies subjects at SMPN I Semen, Kediri Regency. This research approach was quantitative with descriptive research methods. Research methodhoped to describein-depth analysis of the object of research. The population of this study was all students of class VII B with a total of 31 students with saturated sampling which the entire population became a member of the sample. Instruments and data collection techniques used was tests. The data analysis technique used was descriptive statistics. The results showed from the results of individual post-tests to assess student success after the implementation of the snowball throwing type of cooperative learning model, 31 students whose scores were above the KKM were 28 and whose below the KKM were 3 students. Students who score above the KKM are plannedto receive enrichment materials and students who score below the KKM are planned to receive remedial materials. The cooperative learning model can improve learning achievement because: 1) Positive interdependence: positive interdependence means that group members realize that they need to work together to achieve goals. 2) Face to face interaction: all members interact directly face to face. 3) Individual accountability: each member must learn and contribute for the work and success of the group. 4) Use of collaborative/social skills: skills to work together and socialize are needed, for this; teachers’ guidance is needed so that students can collaborate. 5) Group processing: students need to assess how they work effectively. Snowball throwing can improve learning achievement because: 1) it can increase student learning activity. 2) It can develop the intellectual, social, and emotional potential that exists in students. 3) It can train students to express ideas and feelings.
