Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui: (1) Bagaimana pelaksanaan metode pembelajaran kooperatif tipe jigsaw mata pelajaran Fiqh pokok bahasan Shadaqah, Hibah, dan Hadiah Kelas VIII B di MTs NU 21 Banyuringin Kendal Tahun Ajaran 2010 / 2011, (2) Apakah pembelajaran kooperatif tipe Jigsaw dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar Fiqh pokok bahasan Shadaqah, Hibah, dan Hadiah peserta didik Kelas VIII B di MTs NU 21 Banyuringin Kendal Tahun Ajaran 2010 / 2011. Penelitian ini merupakan Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK). Dalam penelitian ini peneliti menggunakan satu kelas untuk menerapkan pembelajaran kooperatif tipe Jigsaw yaitu kelas VIII B MTs NU 21 Banyuringin Kendal yang jumlahnya ada 25 peserta didik. Pada saat dilaksanakan pembelajaran kooperatif tipe Jigsaw, suasana pembelajaran di kelas VIII B menjadi lebih hidup, peserta didik menjadi lebih aktif dan hasil belajar maksimal. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dalam tiga tahap, tahap pertama adalah kegiatan pra siklus, yaitu mencari data hasil belajar siswa kelas VIII B ,materi sebelumnya. Hal ini penting untuk dijadikan dasar nilai awal. Tahap kedua adalah pelaksanaan siklus I dan siklus II. Sedangkan tahap ketiga yaitu penyempurnaan data dan penyusunan laporan. Pada kondisi awal sebelum diterapkan model pembelajaran kooperatif tipe Jigsaw, hasil belajar peserta didik sangat rendah yaitu rata-rata hasil belajar hanya 65,04 dengan ketuntasan belajar 56%. Setelah dilaksanakan model pembelajaran kooperatif tipe Jigsaw, aktivitas dan hasil belajar peserta didik meningkat. Pada siklus I, prosentase interaksi belajar antar peserta didik sebesar 62% dan prosentase aktivitas belajar peserta didik dengan guru sebesar 60,75% dengan rata-rata hasil belajar peserta didik 70 dan ketuntasan belajar 68%. Pada siklus II, prosentase interaksi belajar antar peserta didik sebesar 78,57% dan prosentase aktivitas belajar peserta didik dengan guru sebesar 73,25% dengan rata-rata hasil belajar 80,04 dan ketuntasan belajar 92 %. Dari data tersebut, jelas bahwa ada peningkatan aktivitas belajar dan hasil belajar dari sebelum diterapkannya model pembelajaran kooperatif tipe Jigsaw dengan setelah model pembelajaran tersebut diterapkan. Namun dari penelitian ini masih terdapat peserta didik yang dari siklus pertama sampai ketiga mempunyai nilai dibawah indikator keberhasilan. Hal ini disebabkan oleh karena beberapa hal yaitu karena kondisi keluarga yang tidak mendukung dan memang daya ingat atau tingkat intelektualitas yang rendah. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini diharapkan akan menjadi bahan informasi dan masukan bagi mahasiswa, para tenaga pengajar, para peneliti dan semua pihak yang membutuhkan dilingkungan Fakultas Tarbiyah IAIN Walisongo Semarang

An examination of the stimuli used in and the theories behind the cross-modal Stroop task

The classic Stroop task, during which one names the ink color of color words, has long been used as a measure of selective attention (Stroop, 1935). Selective attention generally refers to our ability to attend to one stimulus (a target) while ignoring another (a distractor). Since its initial creation, many variations of the classic Stroop task have been developed. One of these variations is cross-modal Stroop, which uses visual colored targets and auditory distractor color words. However, whether the same mechanisms and processes are used while completing the two tasks has yet to be determined. The following thesis examined cross-modal Stroop and the theories that have been developed in an attempt to explain the classic Stroop findings. Two experiments were conducted. In Experiment 1, different colored visual stimuli were used (e.g. color squares and @ symbols) to determine whether this had any impact on task performance. A row of X’s induced significantly less interference, suggesting that they serve as an excellent neutral stimulus. In Experiment 2, the response times and accuracy levels for repeating auditory color words and visual colored items were examined with or without accompanying distractors. Although the classic Stroop task displays a very clear asymmetry between word reading and color naming, this asymmetry was not found for cross-modal Stroop. This finding suggests that the same processes and mechanisms may not be involved when completing cross-modal Stroop as classic Stroop, and furthermore, that some of the theories are better at explaining the cross-modal Stroop effect than others

The Mechanisms of Auditory Distraction: The Roles of Interference-by-Process and Attention Capture

It is generally believed that there are two main mechanisms of auditory distraction: attention capture and interference-by-process. Attention capture is said to occur when sounds drag your attention away from what you are attempting to focus on and harm performance as a consequence. Interference-by-process, meanwhile, states that the processing of the sounds can conflict with the processing needed to complete the task of interest. Whether or not the two mechanisms can jointly lead to distraction is unclear at this time. The following dissertation examined the roles of both distraction mechanisms in a cross-modal variant of the Stroop task, in which one names the color of visual items (e.g. color squares) while ignoring auditory color words. I attempted to manipulate the two mechanisms of auditory distraction independently to determine whether 1) both can play a role in distraction simultaneously and 2) whether the mechanisms can be manipulated independently. Experiments 1 and 2 sought to examine the role of attention, while Experiment 3 examined interference-by-process. The results implied that attention, specifically attention capture, appears to have little or no role in the size of the cross-modal effect and that any attention involved is outside the realm of top-down control. Thus, as of this time, there is no clear evidence that both mechanisms of auditory distraction can jointly lead to detriments in performance; however, more work is needed
