Based on observations of a grade 10 social studies-track 2 class, students appeared less active in learning. Many students in the class looked sleepy, were too embarrassed to ask questions, did not want to join in discussions with their friends, and were too lazy to do the tasks. This research aims to understand whether the Team Game Tournament (TGT) method can increase the activeness of students. The method of Classroom Action Research is the model Kemmis and McTaggart administered in two cycles. The research was done at a school in Makassar with 25 students from the grade 10 social studies-track 2 as research subjects.
