Cooperative Learning Application with the Method of "Network Tree Concept Map" : Based on Japanese Learning System Approach

Abstract

Almost all countries pay full attention to the education system, especially countries with smaller populations have an advantage in this field. Relatively small countries and regions, including Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Estonia and Finland, were at the top of the results of the 2015 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) test. This test was carried out by evaluating academic achievement for 15 years around the world. The results of the last evaluation, Shanghai took the overall top position. Japan is one country that has a good learning concept, with 4th to 7th positions in various fields of competition. The application of cooperative learning with the development of learning methods is very important to improve the achievement of student learning outcomes. The purpose of this study is to observe the understanding of concepts, and how to think critically in analyzing exam questions. Cooperative learning application with a combination of the "Network Tree Concept Map" method as a depiction to increase students' interest and thinking power.
