Identification of the Problems Problems Restriction Problems Formulation Objective of the Research Significances of the Research

Assisted Individualiz ation TAI to Improve Student’s Accounting Learning Activity of Grade X Ak 3 at SMK Negeri 1 Klaten Academic Year of 20132014”.

B. Identification of the Problems

Based on the background of study, the identified problems are: 1. Most of accounting learning at SMK Negeri 1 Klaten is still dominated by lecturing method teacher oriented, so the student become passive and not enthustiastic to follow the learning process. 2. Students accounting learning activity of Grade X Ak 3 is still low. 3. Students interaction in the learning activity is not optimal. 4. When the students given a task, only about 25 of students who are interested to present their answers in front of the class.

C. Problems Restriction

Based on the background of the study and identification of the problems above, the problems covered are complex. Therefore, there should be restrictions on the problem, so this research becomes more focused in solving the problems. This research will be focus on the improvement of student’s accounting learning activity through the implementation of cooperative learning model type Team Assisted Individualization TAI of grade X Ak 3 at SMK Negeri 1 Klaten academic year of 20132014.

D. Problems Formulation

According to the identification of the problems and problems restriction above, the problems formulation of this research is “Can Cooperative Learning Model Type Team Assisted Individualization TAI Improve Student’s Learning Activity of Grade X Ak 3 at SMK Negeri 1 Klaten Academic Year of 20132014? ”

E. Objective of the Research

The objective of this research is to improve student’s learning activity through the implementation of cooperative learning model type Team Assisted Individualization TAI of grade X Ak 3 at SMK Negeri 1 Klaten academic year of 20132014.

F. Significances of the Research
