<![CDATA[This research is a classroom action research that aimed to improve the learning process and improve student learning outcomes through the implementation of the Cooperative Learning Model of Think Pair Square type. This research was conducted in class VII1 of SMP Negeri 3 Pekanbaru in the odd semester of 2019/2020. The subjects of this study were 40 students consisting of 21 boys and 19 girls. The research was done in two cycles with each cycle consisting of three meetings and once quiz. The research instrument used learning devices and data collection instrument.
