The subjects were the students of the chemistry education department of FMIPA UNY taking the physics chemistry course II in the 2009/2010 academic year. The steps of this two-cycle action research included: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The findings showed that after joining the instruction, 92.31% of students had reached mastery learning individually. The students’ learning independence also improved. The students showed positive evaluation toward the instruction. The students were enthusiastic in joining the course.Keywords: cooperative learning, independent learning, physics chemistry, reciprocal teaching ]]>
