a. Think- Pair- Share
It is built for giving students more time to think and to respond and to help each other. Think- Pair- Share employs three following
steps:
Step 1 – Thinking
: the teacher poses questions or issue associated with the lesson and asks students to spend a minutes
thinking alone about the answer of the issue.
Step 2 – Pairing
: the teacher asks the students to pair off and discuss what thinking about. Interaction during this
period can be sharing the ideas if a specific issue was
identified.
Step 3 – Sharing
: in the final step, the teacher asks the pairs to share what they have been thinking about with the
whole class.
Think-Pair-Share allows students to think about a response before sharing them with another student or the class. Students are
often more willing to share an idea with a partner than speaking up in the class. This strategy allows them to try out their ideas in a
supportive dialog with a partner. Thinking and talking about an idea also helps students sharpen their ideas as they listen to others. If
students are asked to report out to the whole class, more confident students get a chance to volunteer the answer for their pair, while less
confident students still hear their ideas presented.
b. Numbered- Head- Together
Lie 2007: 59 says that this technique will give the students opportunities to share their ideas and motivate them to improve their
cooperative ability. The steps are:
Step 1 – Numbering : teacher divides students into three to five
member teams and has them numbered off so

each student on the team has different number between 1
– 5.
Step 2 – Questioning : teacher asks students a question or
information.
Step 3 – Heads together
: students put their heads together to figure out and make sure everyone knows the
answers.
Step 4 – Answering : A teacher calls a number and students from
each group with that number raise their hands and provide the answers or information to the
whole class.
All of member had to master the topic that they are discussed because they had to be ready to answer teacher’s question when the
teacher call their number. So there will be interaction between the members of each group to discuss about the topic.
