Abstract
This study aimed to improve eighth-grade students’ understanding and learning interest through the implementation of Cooperative Learning assisted by puzzles in learning the process of urine formation at MTs Ja-Alhaq Bengkulu. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The participants were 30 eighth-grade students. Data on students’ understanding were collected through individual tests, while learning interest was examined qualitatively through observations and interviews based on four indicators: enjoyment, interest, acceptance, and student involvement. The results showed a gradual improvement in students’ understanding. The mean score increased from 33.83 in the pre-cycle to 60.33 in the first cycle and 90.67 in the second cycle. Students’ learning interest also developed positively, as reflected in their increasing enjoyment, interest in using puzzles, acceptance of the learning activities, and involvement in group discussions and task completion. The implementation of Cooperative Learning assisted by puzzles can therefore serve as an alternative approach to support students’ conceptual understanding and learning interest in the topic of urine formation.
