Application of Interactive Cooperative Learning Models in Learning Microprocessor and Microcontroller Programming Techniques

Based on preliminary observations, researchers discovered that the teacher is frequently at the heart of the learning process. Instructors don't actively involve pupils in the learning process and don't employ a variety of techniques. Expository or lecture methods are what teachers typically employ when delivering material. In contrast, pupils only pay attention to what the teacher says while making notes in their books. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how the interactive cooperative learning paradigm at SMKS Muhammadiyah Banda Aceh affects the learning results in studying microprocessor and microcontroller programming techniques. This study takes a quantitative approach with an experimental methodology. There are 12 students in the study's sample. Pre-test and post-test methods were used to gather data. The study's findings show that the interactive cooperative learning model at SMKS Muhammadiyah Banda Aceh has an impact on the learning objectives of class XI students. An increase in the pre-test score from 70 to 80 in the post-test indicates this effect. The results of the hypothesis test indicate that the interactive cooperative learning model has an impact on the learning outcomes of class XI students at SMKS Muhammadiyah Banda Aceh in the topic of Microprocessor and Microcontroller Programming Techniques (p-value = 0.005 < 0.05), hence Ha is accepted. It is clear that interactive cooperative learning environments enhance students' learning results in vocational schools.
