    This document discusses a study on the effectiveness of the Student Teams-Achievement Division (STAD) cooperative learning approach in enhancing higher-order thinking skills and understanding of light energy concepts among Year 5 students. The study found that students lacked higher-order thinking skills and had misconceptions about light energy. It implemented STAD over two cycles, collecting data through pre-and post-tests, interviews, and observations. STAD is expected to improve higher-order thinking skills and light energy understanding through its emphasis on heterogeneous teams, quizzes, and team recognition.

    The Effectiveness of Student TeamsAchievement Division (STAD) in Enhancing

    Higher Order Thinking Skills in Learning

    ABSTRACT
    The Effectiveness of Student Teams-Achievement Division (STAD)
    in Enhancing Higher Order Thinking Skills in Learning the
    Concept of Light Energy
    Student Teams-Achievement Division (STAD) is one of the cooperative
    learning method that able to aid development of high-order thinking
    skills, besides enhancing motivation and peer relations (Slavin,1985). The
    purpose of this action research intervention over two cycles, referring to
    Spiral Model by Kemmis & Taggart (1988) is to examine the effectiveness
    of STAD approach in enhancing selected Year 5 students higher order
    thinking skills and improve students achievement. The intervention was
    carried out during their science lesson on light energy unit. Purposive
    sampling was used to select 16 participants from the Year 5 Terbilang
    (consisted of 8 girls and 8 boys) who represented high, medium and low
    achievers in science. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test,
    interviews and classroom observations. Significant positive effect in
    students higher order thinking skills and students achievement is
    expected after the intervention of STAD, a learner-centred approach.

    can occur
    because the
    small groups on
    the STAD learning
    consist of
    students with
    heterogeneous

    (Wena, 2011)
    STAD helps
    students to
    improve their
    self-skills,
    motivation, and

    Mochtar, 2007).

    O BJECTIVES
    The objective of this intervention is

    to observe whether STAD


    cooperative learning as a teaching
    strategy would enhance students
    higher-order thinking skills and
    improve their understanding of the
    concept of light energy.
