Pengaruh Model Teams Games Tournament (TGT) terhadap Motivasi Belajar Matematika Berdasarkan Gender Siswa Sekolah Dasar

The background of this research is that students are less motivated in learning and do not understand mathematical concepts. The problem in this research is limited to the lack of student motivation in the mathematics learning process and the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) type cooperative learning model is rarely applied in the mathematics learning process. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) model on elementary school students' motivation to learn mathematics based on gender. The research method used in this research is quantitative methods. This type of research uses a quasi-experimental method (Quasy Experiment). The research was carried out at SDN 091482 Kasindir, Jorlang Hataran District, Simalungun Regency from September 4 to September 9 2023 in the odd semester of the 2023/2024 academic year.
