The effect of think-pair-share cooperative learning on students' mathematical communication ability in Indonesia: Meta-analysis study

This meta-analysis study was conducted to examine the overall effect of utilizing the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) Cooperative Learning (CL) model on students' mathematical communication ability and to analyze the degree of variation between each study. One hundred four articles were published between 2015 until 2020 and examined for research purposes; ten articles were obtained that met the eligibility for analysis. The studies' samples are High School and Junior High School students. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) program utilized as an examination device. The effect-size index of the Hedges-g equation is obtained and decided based on the random-effect model estimation. It comes about appeared that the overall effect measure of the application of TPS CL on students' mathematical communication abilities was 0.826, there implies that there is a positive effect that's very high in this finding, with a standard error of 0.247. So these discoveries show that the application of TPS CL in Indonesia is quite viable in making strides in students' mathematical communication abilities. Analysis of the level of study variation was critical in terms of “differences in education levels.” These discoveries demonstrate that the TPS-type CL show is more compelling at the Junior High School level.
