This study aims to examine the effect of implementing the Write-Pair-Switch (WPS) cooperative learning model on students’ learning activities and achievement in Indonesian language at SMA Muhammadiyah Bulukumba. This research employed a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest control group design. The population of this study consisted of eleventh-grade students, from which two classes were selected as the experimental and control groups through random sampling techniques. The experimental group was taught using the Write-Pair-Switch (WPS) cooperative learning model, while the control group received conventional teaching methods. Data were collected through observation sheets to measure students’ learning activities and tests to assess students’ learning achievement. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics through Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA).
The results of the study revealed that students taught using the WPS model demonstrated higher levels of learning activities and better learning achievement compared to those taught using conventional methods. The mean score of students’ learning activities and achievement in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group. The hypothesis testing showed a significance value of less than 0.05, indicating that the implementation of the Write-Pair-Switch (WPS) cooperative learning model has a significant positive effect on students’ learning activities and achievement in Indonesian language learning.the Write-Pair-Switch (WPS) cooperative learning model is effective in enhancing both students’ learning activities and their academic achievement. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers apply this model as an alternative teaching strategy to improve the quality of learning in the classroom.
