Abstract
This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of lesson plans on polynomials for Grade 8 students using the Team Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative learning technique, to compare students’ learning achievement on polynomials before and after learning management, and to investigate students’ attitudes toward learning through this approach. The sample consisted of 36 Grade 8 students in the first semester of the 2025 academic year, selected by simple random sampling. The research instruments included lesson plans based on the TGT technique, a learning achievement test, and an attitude questionnaire. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and a t-test.
The results showed that the efficiency of the learning process and learning outcomes (E1/E2) met the efficiency criterion of 75/75. The students’ post-test achievement scores on polynomials after learning management through the TGT technique were significantly higher than their pre-test scores at the level of confidence of .05. In addition, students demonstrated positive attitudes toward the learning activities, with the overall mean score at a very good level (=4.45, S.D. = 3.98). For future research, it is recommended to integrate the TGT technique with various learning media, such as digital tools and educational games, to examine its effects on different dimensions of learning achievement and attitudes. Furthermore, expanding the sample size and conducting long-term follow-up studies would enhance the reliability of the results and provide deeper insights into the retention of learning outcomes and students’ attitudes.
