THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THINK PAIR SHARE (TPS) LEARNING METHOD IN STIMULATING STUDENTS' BEHAVIOURAL INVOLVEMENT IN INDONESIAN LANGUAGE LEARNING IN GRADE X

Abstract

The importance of student behavioural engagement is a factor in achieving learning success. The importance of student behavioural engagement is a factor in achieving student behavioural involvement is a response to God's mandate and a form of responsibility for students to be involved in the life process, including learning. Student behavioural involvement is the active role of students in carrying out all learning activities, which are characterized by student behaviour. However, in fact, student behaviour tends to be passive and not fully involved in learning. Christian teachers, as guides, are responsible for bringing students to the goals of Christian education by implementing learning methods that suit students' needs. The most important thing that a Christian teacher must have is a heart that is willing to serve in response to his life's calling to bring students to the knowledge of God. TPS has an interaction pattern that has been determined from its stages, namely think, pair, and share, so that through these TPS stages it is able to stimulate student behavioural involvement. Through TPS, students are given spaces to work alone, collaborate, and present. The stages in TPS encourage involved student behaviour because students are required to follow procedures determined by the teacher. The purpose of writing this paper is to explain the application of the Think Pair Share (TPS) learning method to stimulate student behavioural engagement in Indonesian language learning in class X. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. The results of implementing TPS show that the use of the Think Pair Share (TPS) learning method can stimulate student behavioural engagement. It is recommended for future researchers to examine the three aspects of student involvement with different learning methods described by the author
