Strategi Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Inkuiri dan Cooperative Learning Tipe STAD terhadap Perilaku Belajar Siswa Pendidikan Agama Kristen

Abstract

This study aims to examine the application strategies of the inquiry and cooperative learning models (STAD) on student learning behavior in Christian Religious Education. The background indicates that monotonous learning processes often decrease students' active participation. Therefore, this study used a qualitative approach with a literature review method. Data were collected from various primary and secondary literatures, then analyzed descriptively through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the inquiry learning model can improve students’ creativity and critical thinking skills, while the STAD cooperative learning model increases student activeness and motivation through group collaboration. The integration of the two models has a positive impact on student learning behavior as a whole, facilitating the application of Christian values. Therefore, student-centered learning strategies are crucial for implementing in Christian Religious Education.
