Cooperative Learning Model Type Jigsaw as An Effort to Internalize the Value of Tri Hita Karana in Character Building of Grade IX Students at SMP Negeri 2 Belitang II

Abstract

This article is in the discourse of character education and cooperative learning that seeks to integrate the local wisdom of Tri Hita Karana into learning practices in junior high schools. This study aims to analyze how the jigsaw-type cooperative learning model can be used as an effort to internalize the value of Tri Hita Karana in the character formation of grade IX students at SMP Negeri 2 Belitang II. The research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach through observation, interviews, and documentation over several jigsaw learning cycles. The working hypothesis of this study states that the more consistent the application of the jigsaw model is framed by the values of Parahyangan, Pawongan, and Palemahan, the stronger the internalization of students' religious, social, and environmental concerns. The findings show a real shift from passive to collaborative learning patterns, strengthening mutual respect and responsibility, and the emergence of the habit of maintaining the classroom environment. The main contribution of this article is the integration of the jigsaw model with Tri Hita Karana as a "jigsaw–THK" model that offers a new framework of cooperative learning based on local wisdom. The results of this study confirm the importance of learning design that not only teaches knowledge but also, at the same time, brings cultural values to life in classroom practice.
