Description of Cycle I
After all of the students submit their answers, teacher along with the students concluded the material that has been
studied and advised the students to study hard. Learning activities closed with greeting by the teacher.
3 Observation
Observations made by observe and record things done by teachers and students during the learning process with learning
model type Jigsaw. It was observed the students learning activities. Observation was done by using observation sheet.
Based on observations on the actions of the first cycle, it can be seen that the students seemed to have a better learning activity if
compared with their activity in the initial conditions before the action is taken. Students look more active in group discussions,
answering questions of teachers and take a note of material about Closing Journal Entries. It is indicates that the learning activities of
students has increased.
4 Reflection and Evaluation
Reflection is made to recall things that are done during the implementation of the action. Researchers told a teacher about
things that are deemed to be lacking, and the successes achieved in the cycle I. The successful implementation of the action on the first
cycle is shown by the students are more active if compared with the activity before the action. It can be seen from the activity of
students in the first cycle in the aspect of Paying attention to the teacher’s explanation, Taking notes of the learning material, noting
accounting material, Having empathy to their team members who find difficulties in understanding the material, Asking a question
about material that has not been understood, Answer a question either from the teacher or another friends in the discussion, Give his
opinion in the discussion, Respond when friends argue Presenting the results of the expert group discussions in the original group,
Participate in groups task, and Do the activities according the rules. Here is presented a summary of the results of the increase of
students learning activities in cycle I. Table 6. Pecentage

Source: data processed 2015
Based on Table 6 above, it is known that the highest activity contained in the aspect Taking notes of the learning material that
is equal to 77,78. While the lowest activity contained on the aspects Do the activities According the rules that is equal to
64,58. Overall, the students learning activities in the first cycle have the average of 70,28. The more complete data can be seen in
the appendices. The increase in students activity in the learning process also
has an impact on increasing students learning outcomes. The results of the tests on cycle I showed that there is an increase if compared
with the initial score prior to the action. It can be seen from the score obtained by the student after the teacher gives a test
evaluation. The average score, the highest and lowest score of students increased if compared to the score in the initial conditions.
Results of tests on cycle I show that from the 36 students, there are 22 students 38.89 who have the score of 100, while the
remaining 14 students 61.11 have the score of 80. The more complete data can be seen in the appendices.
Based on the observation results in cycle I, the successful implementation of the first cycle can be formulated as follows:
a The percentage of student learning activities has increased if
compared with the percentage of learning activities before the implementation of the action.
b Learning outcomes of students has increased if compared to
their learning outcomes before the action. In addition, based on the observation, the weaknesses of the
implementation of the first cycle can be formulated as follows: a
Learning activities of students is still low in the aspect of having empathy to their team members who find difficulties in
understanding the material. b
Students’ learning activity is still low in the aspect of asking a question about material that has not been understood.
c Students’ learning activity is still low in the aspect of participate
in groups task. d
Students’ learning activity is still low in the aspect of do the activities according the rules.
e The timing of the study is still lacking because the management
of time in each learning activity is less well implemented.
