Abstract
The aim of this study is to improve analyze competency of students through the implementation of cooperative learning jigsaw on metabolism concepts. The cooperative learning jigsaw began with information collecting about the materials assigned to each member of the jigsaw groups, and then each expert gathered in expert groups to discuss the same material and agree on it, ending with sharing among all team members in the jigsaw group. This study used a pre experimental design pre test and post test group. The metabolism concepts consist of cell respiration and photosynthesis. The results showed that by cooperative learning jigsaw implementation the students analyze competency on metabolism concepts can increase significantly, although this competency is still low. There are increasing team recognition from the good and very good teams, becoming very good and super teams. Thus the implementation of jigsaw cooperative learning can increase metabolism concept analyze of students and team recognition. One of the weaknesses of students is metabolism concepts mastery is less detailed and less integrate concepts each other. It takes a long time in carry out the cooperative learning jigsaw. All students prefer jigsaw cooperative learning.
