Model Numbered Heads Together (NHT) To Improve Student Confidence: Literature Studies

Abstract

Confidence is one of the psychological factors that plays an important role in supporting the effectiveness of the learning process and the achievement of students' learning outcomes. Low confidence can hinder students' active participation and courage in expressing opinions in class. This study aims to examine the application of the Numbered Heads Together (NHT) learning model as a strategy to increase students' confidence. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative descriptive approach, which analyzes a number of scientific articles on the implementation of the NHT model in the context of learning at various educational levels. The results of the study showed that the NHT model was able to increase student involvement in group discussions, train courage in expressing opinions, and foster a sense of responsibility for the results of joint work. In addition, this model also creates a conducive, interactive, and collaborative learning atmosphere, which in turn has a positive impact on students' increased confidence. NHT also facilitates the development of social skills and provides room for teachers to monitor the affective development of students. Based on these findings, the Numbered Heads Together model is recommended as an effective and relevant learning strategy to be implemented in efforts to strengthen students' confidence.
