ABSTRAK


Penelitian ini mengungkap efek dari Numbered Heads Together (NHT) yang
merupakan salah satu tipe dari cooperative learning sebagai sebuah usaha untuk
meningkatan kreatifitas ilmiah dan penguasaan konsep siswa dalam topik
pemanasan global. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah gabungan
antara deskriptif dan pre-experiment dengan desain one group pretest-posttest.
Sampel diambil menggunakan convenient sampling di sebuah sekolah bilingual
kelas 7 dengan (n=19 Siswa). Data kuantitatif didapat dari test penguasaan konsep
dan kreativitas ilmiah, sedangkan data kualitatif didapatkan melalui rubric dan
Kuisioner. Hasil analisis menunjukkan kreativitas ilmiah siswa mengalami
peningkatan di seluruh indicator, begitu pula dengan penguasaan konsep
menunjukkan hasil normalized gain sebesar 0.59 yang dikategorikan seabagai
peningkatan yang medium. Seluruh hasil pun didukung dengan respons positif
dari siswa selama pengimplementasian NHT. Maka, penelitian ini
mengindikasikan bahwa pengimplementasian NHT pada topic pemansan global
dapat meningkatakan kemampuan kreativitas ilmiah dan penguasaan konsep pada
siswa.
