Improving Pedagogical Competences of Prospective Science Teachers to Develop Learning Materials through Jigsaw Cooperative Model

The problems faced by prospective science teachers are low competence to develop learning materials based on scientific approach. The research aims to improve the pedagogical competences of prospective science teachers to develop science learning materials that includes Lesson Plan and Student Worksheet. The research method used is the classroom action research which conducted in two cycles. The subjects of this study are the students of the sixth semester who enroll of Microteaching course in the academic year 2016/2017. The subjects are 58 students. Implementation of this research was carried out using Jigsaw cooperative type, where each group member is responsible for presenting the subject matter related to the development of learning materials based on scientific approach. The instruments used were: 1) Instrument of assessment of Lesson Plan and 2) Instrument of assessment of student worksheet. Data analysis technique used was descriptive statistical analysis. The results show that the science teacher competence to develop the learning material has increased from cycle I to cycle II. The results show that 89.63 % of prospective science teachers have a good competence to develop lesson plan and 89.05 % based scientific approach to develop Student Worksheet based on 2013 curriculum. This finding shows that jigsaw is able to increase the ability or the competency to produce learning tools based scientific approach.
