The Types of Cooperative Learning Model
other members of the group so that everyone can eventually learn the concepts.
4 Group Investigation GI
GI is one of complex learning models, because it mixes principles of cooperative learning with Constructivism-based
learning and learning principles of democracy. The model was developed by John Dewey. This cooperative model is used to train
students to cultivate the students’ ability to think independently. Social interactions became one of the factors that are important to
the development of the new scheme. Where, in this type of learning, it plays an important role in giving freedom to the learner
to think analytically, critically, reflective, creative, and productive. 5
Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition CIRC. CIRC is a cooperative learning modeldeveloped by Stavens
and his colleagues. This method is designed to accommodate the diverse student ability level, either through heterogeneous
groupingor homogeneous grouping. In CIRC., students are placed in small groups, whether heterogeneous or homogeneous.
6 Think-Pair-Share TPS
This approach challenges the assumption that all recitation or discussions need to be done in a whole group setting and have
built-in procedures to give more time to the learners to think, respond, and help each other.
7 TeamAssisted Individualization TAI
TAI is a cooperative learning model developed by Robert e. Slavin. This model is a model of learning which combines the
advantages of individual instruction with cooperative learning Slavin, 2009:190. TAI focuses on the process of learning in
groups, in which the learning process in a group can assist students in defining and building their own understanding of the subject
matter. 8
Numbered Heads Together NHT Numbered Heads Together NHT is an approach
developed by Spencer Kagan to engage more learners in the review of a wide range of material covered in a lesson and to check their
understanding of the content of it. 9
Make a Match This method was developed by Lorna Curran 1994. This
model requires that students seek out mates while studying a particular topic or concept in a fun atmosphere. Things that need to
be developed with make a match is cards. These cards consist of the cards contain questions and other cards containing the answers
of these questions AgusSuprijono, 2011: 94 10
Listening Team Learning model in listening team begins with learning
material exposure by the teacher. Next the teacher divided the class
into groups where each group has the role of each. The first group is the Group of asker, the second and third groups are groups of
answerer. The fourth group is a group that is in charge of reviewing and making inferences from the results of the discussion.
Study concludes with the submission of various key words or concepts that have been developed by learners in discussions

Two Stay Two Stray Two Stay Two Stray technique was developed by Spencer
Kagan 1992 and can be used in conjunction with the numbered Head Technique NHT as support. This technique gives the
opportunity to the group to share their results and information with other groups Miftahul Huda, 2011: 140.
This TSTS technique will be discussed and researched further to its application towards students’ accounting learning
achievement improvement.
