The material on cycle 1 is the basic accounting equation. 4 Preparing for the questions of test thatwill be given in the end of the cycle. The questions prepared by researcher taking with the consideration of the teacher. b. Action This action was done by using a planning guide that has been made, that is flexible and open to changes. The implementation of this learning model must be suitable with all plans in first step. Slavin in the book of “Cooperative Learning, analysis of IPS Learning” translated by Etin Solihatin and Raharjo 2007: 4 stated that Cooperative Learning is a learning model where the students learn and
