CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
A. Background
Students process of acquisition knowledge and achieving goal in class activity commonly done by their own effort. In other hand, application of interaction among
students will help to reshape and develop students reasoning, critical thinking and some other
s students’ ability. Cooperative learning is one of way in teaching learning process which gives chance to students to be able to interact each other in
order implementing their learning ability. This interaction will eventually lead students to shape their values and perspective that can be useful to be used either
inside or outside class AjajaEravwoke, 2010. Cooperative learning situation will make students have discussion and work in
group and have chance to share their knowledge with other group member in order to help each other to reach group goal. This condition will lead students to apply and
build their attitudes and value,beside of that in cooperative learning students will be either reach success or failure based on team results Pandey and Kishore, 2003.
The study of Kiokaew 1998 as its stated on LagoNawang 2007 shown that class that is taught by using cooperative learning has significant higher achievement
than the one that use traditional method. And it also shows that cooperative learning in a small group gives a significant effect toward educational outcomes to the
students. As have stated before the used of collaborative learning will provide students opportunity to have share idea which eventually can grow their thinking
ability and they can invent new idea as the results of interaction and socialization among the groups member. Numbered-Heads-Together Model one of the most
popular cooperative learning approach that include small groups of 4-5 people per group with the equal chance as group representative provides an incentive for
students to share their interest in learning, and to share their knowledge with their group mates while working as the useful member of group LagoNawang, 2007

As stated by Hu and Adey 2002 scientific creativity can be described as a condition where students are able to imagine the combination of novel knowledge
and technique in solving scientific problem. This condition can be happened when students can combine their existing knowledge with their scientific imagination e.g.
Using several routes to solve scientific problem. Hence, as stated by Hu and Adey 2002 This is the justification for considering scientific creativity as worthy of
attention in the education of students who will either become scientists or who need an understanding of the way that scientists work as part of their general
understanding of society. Beside of the probability of the existence of the scientific creativity as the result
of interaction and discussion among students, Number-Heads Together also can give an impact on the improvement of students’ mastery concept. As stated by Lago and
Nawang 2007 “The findings of the study advance the conclusion that cooperative
learning method using the Number-Heads-Together significantly increased the achievement of the students.”
Based on the background that have been stated before then researcher would like to entitled the research by
“Learning Global Warming through Numbered Heads Together NHT: An Endeavour to Improve Students Scientific Creativity and
Mastery Concept ”
