NUMBERED HEADS TOGETHER (NHT): AN ENDEAVOUR TO IMPROVE STUDENT’S SCIENTIFIC CREATIVITY AND MASTERY CONCEPT IN LEARNING GLOBAL WARMING
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background
Students process of acquisition knowledge and achieving goal in class activity commonly done by their own effort. In other hand, application of interaction among students will help to reshape and develop students reasoning, critical thinking and some others students’ ability. Cooperative learning is one of way in teaching learning process which gives chance to students to be able to interact each other in order implementing their learning ability. This interaction will eventually lead students to shape their values and perspective that can be useful to be used either inside or outside class (Ajaja&Eravwoke, 2010).
Cooperative learning situation will make students have discussion and work in group and have chance to share their knowledge with other group member in order to help each other to reach group goal. This condition will lead students to apply and build their attitudes and value,beside of that in cooperative learning students will be either reach success or failure based on team results (Pandey and Kishore, 2003).
The study of Kiokaew (1998) as its stated on Lago&Nawang (2007) shown that class that is taught by using cooperative learning has significant higher achievement than the one that use traditional method. And it also shows that cooperative learning in a small group gives a significant effect toward educational outcomes to the students. As have stated before the used of collaborative learning will provide students opportunity to have share idea which eventually can grow their thinking ability and they can invent new idea as the results of interaction and socialization among the groups member. Numbered-Heads-Together Model one of the most popular cooperative learning approach that include small groups of 4-5 people per group with the equal chance as group representative provides an incentive for students to share their interest in learning, and to share their knowledge with their group mates while working as the useful member of group (Lago&Nawang, 2007)

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
As stated by Hu and Adey (2002) scientific creativity can be described as a condition where students are able to imagine the combination of novel knowledge and technique in solving scientific problem. This condition can be happened when students can combine their existing knowledge with their scientific imagination (e.g. Using several routes to solve scientific problem). Hence, as stated by Hu and Adey (2002) This is the justification for considering scientific creativity as worthy of attention in the education of students who will either become scientists or who need an understanding of the way that scientists work as part of their general understanding of society.
Beside of the probability of the existence of the scientific creativity as the result of interaction and discussion among students, Number-Heads Together also can give
an impact on the improvement of students’ mastery concept. As stated by Lago and
Nawang (2007) “The findings of the study advance the conclusion that cooperative
learning method using the Number-Heads-Together significantly increased the
achievement of the students.”
Based on the background that have been stated before then researcher would like to entitled the research by “Learning Global Warming through Numbered Heads Together (NHT): An Endeavour to Improve Students Scientific Creativity and Mastery Concept”
B. Research Problems
Based on the background that have stated before the research problem in this
research is “How does the impact of Numbered Heads Together toward students’ scientific creativity and students’ mastery concept in learning global warming?”
Elaborating from this problem researcher attempts this following research questions: 1. How does Numbered Heads Together Impact to Students’ Scientific Creativity
Improvement?
2. How does Numbered Heads Together Impact to Students’ mastery concept improvement in Learning Global Warming?

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu 3. For Students
As an alternative solution to have discussion learning so that there will be a chance among students to be able to share their knowledge and help each other beside of expanding it.
4. For Other Researchers
As the data comparison or reference for the possibility of having the similar research with different subjects or area of research.
F.Operational Definition
1. The implementation of Numbered Heads Together (NHT) in this research regards to the stage of NHT. Steps to be done the NHT are (1) Teacher divides students in the class into the Group into 4-5 persons, (2) Teacher gives Number to each member of the group, (3) Teacher Gives every group the problem to be solved, (4) Students put
their “heads together” to solve the problem, (5) Teacher ask representative of
students by calling out his/her number to present their discussion result. To assess
NHT it can be seen using oral test based on students’ answers toward the questions
that given previously.
2. The students’ mastery concept in this research is seen from the improvement in
revised Bloom’s taxonomy using Cognitive level 2 (C2) until cognitive level 4 (C4), the Revised Taxonomy (RT) can be used as a standard to measure the cognitive
domain of students’ achievement. Students’ mastery concept will be determined
using pre-test and post-test using objective test.
3. Students’ Scientific Creativity is represented by improvement of unusual use of object, sensitivity to science problem, improvement of technical product, and science problem solving. Those indicators will be measured by the existence of answer for each indicator as stated in the scientific creativity test for secondary students using the scoring procedures developed by Hu and Adey (2002).
4. Students’ response in this research is seen from students’ response toward the

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu G.Assumptions
Based on previous results of research there are some assumptions that is underlying this research as stated by the study of Luna (1998) as its written in (Lago and Nawang, 2007) proved that cooperative learning groups learned better than the group of students whom used the traditional teaching-learning process. This proved is happening based on the situation that students were conducting discussion among the group member, which eventually lead to the result that the lesson are retained better in their memory. Casinillo (1999) cited by Lago and Nawang (2007), and in his study, “Gender and Groupings: Their Effects on Problem-Solving
AchievementScores”, concluded that when students solve their problems cooperatively it will influence positively toward their achievement and attitudes.
As have been stated by some findings above it can be concluded that cooperative learning can be a medium for students to apply their ability (critical thinking, reasoning, problem solving and etc.) by mean to help each other through interaction and discussion among students. And also it has been proved that by having cooperative learning it can increase their achievement in learning as well as their attitudes during the learning process. As to scientific creativity of secondary school students, several tests have been developed. Friedlander (1983) as cited by Hu and Addey (2002:392) developed a test in which 143 high school students responded to a plant or animal stimulus through a series of divergent thinking questions dealing with data collection, problem solving, hypothesis construction, and planning experiments. The test showed enough test-retest reliability and significant correlations with criterion measures of science ability.

Students Scientific Imaginationare. Counting all of the separate responses given by the subjects, regardless of the quality is how to obtain the fluency score is obtained simply. Counting the number of approaches or areas used in the answer is how to obtain flexibility score for each task. The originality score is developed from a tabulation of the frequency of all of the responses obtained.Frequencies and percentages of each response are computed. If the probability of a response is less than 5%, we give it 2 points; if the probability is between 5 to 10%, we give it 1 point; if the probability of a response is more than 10%, we give it 0 points. The score of science problem skill is computed again by tabulating all answers of all subjects, and then rating a particular answer for its rarity value. If the probability is less than 5%, it gets 3 points; for probabilities from 5 to 10, it gets 2 points; If the probability is greater than 10, it gets 1 point. We only have one score for each method of division (Hu and Adey, 2002).
(2) Score of Test Item
The tests used in this research are paper and pencil tests consist of 20test items. Each multiple choice correct answers are given 1 score and each incorrect answer was given a score of 0
b) Calculation of Gain Score and Normalized Gain
The difference of pretest score andpost-test score is a way to obtain a gain score (actual gain). The effect of the treatment is assuming fromthe difference in pretest scores and the post-test. “Normalized gain calculations are intended to determine the categories of students‟ achievement improvement.gis the single-student normalized gain, defined as:” (Hake, 2002)

The effectiveness of Numbered Heads Together model in increasing
students‟ scientific creativity and mastery concept in learning global warming
will be seen from the result of the normalized gain that achieved by students during the learning process. The calculation of the normalized gain value and its classification will use these following equations (Hake, 1999):
Normalized gain of each student <g> defined as following formula:
Description:
<g> = Normalized gain G = Actual gain
Gmax = Maximum gain possible Sf = Post-test score
Si = Pretest score
Average of normalized gain (<g>) which is formulated as:
Description:
<g> = Normalized gain <G> = Actual gain
<G>max = Maximum gain possible
<Sf> = Average of post-test score <Si> = Average of pretest score

c) Normality and Homogeneity test
Using of parametric statistic has a deal with assumption that each variable in this research that will be analyzed form a normal distribution. If, the data is abnormal, the homogeneity variant test cannot be done or the parametric technique cannot be used. Meanwhile if the data is normal and homogen, the parametric technique can be used. Normality test is to know whether the sample comes from population that has normal distribution or not. In this research, Normality test uses statistic test from SPSS 20, Kolmogorov-Smirnov with significancy level (α) is 0,05. When significance value > 0,05, H0 will be accepted and H0 will be rejected or denied if significance value < 0,05 The hypotheses are:
H0 : Sample comes from population that has normal distribution. H1: Sample comes from population that has not normal distribution.
The homogeneity test is also uses statistic test from SPSS 20, with significance level
(α) is 0,05. When significance value ≥0,05, the data is considered as homogeny
(Sarwono, 2012).
(1) One Sample T-test
One sample T-test was done to determine whether the class had achieved the standard score after the implementation of NHT represented by the Posttest Score. T-test requires data which is normal and homogen. In SPSS 20, the test is used One Sample T-Test. If the level of significancy (sig) ≤ 0.05 H0 is rejected.If the level of significancy (sig)> 0.05 H0 is retained. In testing

the similarity means is used two-tailes hypotheses, the hypotheses is determined as bellow:
H0 : Students‟ mastery concept score in learning global warming concept has achieved the school standard of 75 .
H1: Students‟ mastery concept score in learning global warming concept less than school standard (<75)
2. Qualitative Data Analysis
The qualitative data obtained from unstructured questionnaire, group discussion results and rubric of implementation of Numbered Heads Together.Processing is done by calculating Likert scale will be calculated into score and then converted into percentage, the percentage of answers observer to then be evaluated for the next lesson. The scoring guideline will be shown in table 3.10:
Table 3.10 Scoring Guideline of Students‟ Response Strongly
Disagree Disagree Not sure Agree
Strongly Agree Positive Statement 5 4 3 2 1 Negative Statement 1 2 3 4 5
The percentage data will be gained by calculating through the following formula: P = x 100%
Explanation : P : Percentage
f : score from frequency of the answer n : score from total response
The interpretation of the result will show students‟ response toward the NHT that is implemented in learning process(Sejati, 2013)

The conversion of raw score into percentage is conducted to analyze the rubrics. Further, the result of percentage can be classified into several categories. The technique of converting score into percentage is using formula written (Sejati, 2013):
Score = � � �
�� � � � � x 100%
E.Instrument Development
Thedevelopment process of instrument begins with of the curriculumanalysis that is applied inschool. The researcher then formulates the questions to be used as an instrument of pretest and post-test. The tests used in this research are writing tests consist of 20 multiple choice questions and four essay questions.
The instrument needs to be consulted (judgment) by the concerned lecturer and some experts in related fields. After being judged, the instrument which is not appropriate enough should be revised. After the instrument revised, it should be tried out on another class which had learned the topic before. Based on the test results, the instrument questions will be analyzed with the following requirements:
1. Instrument Test Requirements a. Validity
Validity can be describedas the ability of an Instrument to measure what it is designed to measure. (Kumar, 2005) quoted by Sejati (2013) Anderson as quoted in Arikunto, (2010) quoted by Sejati (2013) revealed that “A test is valid if it measure what it purpose to measure”. The results of validity test shows that the data collected from the instrument is not deviating from the idea. Hence, by having this validity test it can measure whether the data that is produced from the test is valid with the variable that want to be measured and interpreted
(30)
Reza Taufik Maulana, 2014
NUMBERED HEADS TOGETHER (NHT): AN ENDEAVOUR TO IMPROVE STUDENT’S SCIENTIFIC CREATIVITY AND MASTERY CONCEPT IN LEARNING GLOBAL WARMING
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
The researcher use the Coefficient of Product Moment Karl Pearson to measure the validity of each test item, there is:
= � −
� 2− 2 � 2 − 2
(Sejati, 2013)
With, : correlation coefficient between x and y variable n : amount of student
x : total score in test item y : total score of student
Interpretation about will be divided into different categories based on Guilford quoted by Arikunto (2010) cited by Sejati (2013).
Table 3.11 Classification validity coefficient
Value � Interpretation
0,90 ≤� ≤ 1,00 Very high validity 0,70 ≤� <0,90 High validity 0,40 ≤� < 0,70 Medium validity 0,20 ≤� < 0,40 Low validity 0,00 ≤� < 0,20 Very low validity
� < 0,00 Invalid
b. Reliability
Anderson as quoted by Arikunto, (2010) quoted in Sejati (2013) revealed that validity and reliability are two important factors in developing test instrument, “A reliable measure in one that provides consistent and
stable indication of the characteristic being investigated”. To be said as a reliable, the research instrument has to be stable and consistent, which
(31)
Reza Taufik Maulana, 2014

eventually leads to other characteristics such as predictable and accurate and eventually conclude to be reliable. In another word reliability can be described that the test will resulted the similar results even it is done by different people, times and places. Hence, it can be concluded that the more reliable the research instrument are influenced by greater degree of consistency and stability. Arikunto, (2006) quoted by Sejati (2013).
The value of reliability is determined based on coefficient value which is gained by Alpha formula, as follows:

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu c. Discriminating Power
Another important procedure in item analysis is calculating the item discrimination power (DP) which can be defined an item test discriminates between high achiever students with low achiever students. Arikunto(2006) quoted by Sejati,(2013).Hence, to obtain the discrimination power of the items, the following formula has been used:
T
RL
RU
DP
2 1
Explanation:
DP = Discriminatory power.
RU = The number of tests in the upper group who got the item right. RL = The number of tests in the lower group who got the item right. T = The total of tests included in item analysis.
Classification of discriminating power interpretation
Arikunto (2006) quoted by Sejati (2013):
Table 3.13 Discriminating Power Classification
d. Difficulty Level
After scoring the test papers, the researcher has arranged the scored test in order of scores, from the highest to the lowest score. The researcher, then, separated two subgroups of test papers; an upper group consisting of the top (27%) of the total group who received the highest scores, and a

lower group including an equal number of papers (27%) who received the lowest scores. The researcher also counted the number of times each response to each item is chosen correctly on the papers of the upper group and does the same separately for the papers of the lower group. In doing so, she intended to calculate the difficultylevel (henceforth DL) or (facility value) of each item.It means as Gronlund (1976) cited by Sejati (2013), revealed that “the percentage of students who got the item right”; so, in order to find out the level of difficulty for each item in the test, the following formula has been used:
Sample the of Number
Total
LC HC
DL
Where:
DL = Difficulty level HC = High correct LC = Low correct
Madsen (1983) quoted by Sejati, (2013)
Classification of difficulty level in each test item that used is based on Arikunto, (2010)
Table 3.14 Coefficient classification of difficulty level
Value DL Interpretation
IK = 0,00 Very difficult 0,00 < IK 0,30 Difficult 0,30< IK 0,70 Medium 0,70< IK <1,00 Easy

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu e. Readability
Readability will be used to analyze essay questions. Readability has two common meanings, one applying to document design, the other to language. Readability as it is applied to document design is concerned with such matters as line length, leading, white space, font type and the like Marnell(2009) quoted by Sejati (2013).
F. Instrument Analysis Result
1) Recapitulation of Students’ Mastery Concept Instrument
The instrument for measuring students‟ cognitive achievement is by giving
an objective test in a form of 37 questions. The instrument should be tested in terms of validity, reliability, discriminating power, and difficulty level as explained before. The test was given to 26 students which have learned about the chapter that will be learned for the research. The recapitulation of test item analysis is shown in the following table.

d. Conduct research activity by implementing NHT in experimental class with following scenarios:
i. First Session
In this first session the implementation of numbered heads learning together teacher is grouping the students consist of 5 persons based on their achievement in pre-test that conducted before. After that teacher distribute the carton and some pictures that will be used as the tool in
“head together” stage. After that teacher plays the video that will be used as the material in “heads together” stage. Having finished with the
video, teacher gives three questions regarding the mastery concept of global warming with sub concepts: 1. Please exemplify each of them three examples of activity that can influenced positively and negatively to the ecosystem; 2. What is the effect to the environment if those negative activity continue happen? ; 3. What will happen to environment if the condition has changed? Those question then
answered by the students „group by attaching the picture on the carton
so that they can answer the questions using the arrangement of the pictures that they produce trough the discussion among them.
ii. Second Session
The second session more or less has the same scenario as the first one.
Using the same students‟ group, teacher shows different video with
different content that will be used as a source of discussion, after that teacher ask students to put their heads together again with two different questions there are:
1. What is deforestation? 2. Please exemplify three effects of deforestation!

Research of Numbered Heads Together (NHT) implementation has been conducted systematically, based on the research result it is acquired some conclusions as follows:
1. The implementation of Numbered Heads Together (NHT) on Global Warming chapter can improve students‟ scientific creativity; it can be noticed by the difference of students‟ profile of scientific creativity before and after the implementation of NHT where all the results of indicators experienced an improvement.
2. The implementation of Numbered Heads Together (NHT) on Global Warming chapter can improve students‟ mastery concept significantly, it can be noticed by the results of inferential statistic that shown the score of students mastery concept had achieved school score standard.
3. The respond of students towards numbered heads together (NHT) implementation shows positive respond in all indicators; Team Work Ability, NHT Implementation; Scientific Creativity and Problem Based Group Task.
B.Recommendation
Based on the findings of the research that has been conducted and concluded, there are several recommendations that necessary to be conveyed by the researchers, some of them are
1. Numbered Heads Together (NHT) can be used as alternative approach to improve students‟ scientific creativity and mastery concept on another concepts that

2. Scientific creativity test that was used in this following research can be modified accordance to the concept that will be taught so that students„results will be suitable with the requirement of the subject
3. Teacher supervision during the “heads together” stage, it is necessary to make sure every group member active in the discussion and share their knowledge among the groups member, and also to avoid misunderstanding that may be occurred during students‟ “heads together” session.
4. More session and meetings can be considered when the implementation of NHT is underway, so that both students‟ scientific creativity and mastery concept results can be obtained with more firm results.
