A. Introduction
1. Understanding
Group Investigation Learning is one form of cooperative learning model that

emphasizes the participation and activities of students to find their own subject matter
(information) to be learned through the materials available, for example from textbooks or
students can search through the internet. Students are involved since the planning, both in
determining the topic and how to study it through investigation.
This type requires students to have good communication skills as well as in group
process skills. The Group Investigation model can train students to cultivate independent
thinking skills. Active student involvement can be seen from the first stage to the last stage
of learning Group Model Investigation.
In Group Investigation method there are three main concepts, namely: research or
inquiry, knowledge, and group dynamics or teamwork (Udin S. Winaputra, 2001: 75 in
https://idtesis.com/metode-pembelajaran-group-investigation, accessed on 28 February
2018). The research here is the dynamics of the students responding to the problem and
solving the problem. Knowledge is a learning experience that students acquire either directly
or indirectly. While group dynamics shows an atmosphere that describes a group of
interacting that involves various ideas and opinions as well as exchanging experiences
through the process of mutual argumentation.
2. Objectives
According to Asma (in Devi, 2013 in an article written Yudi, 2014 in http://yudi-

suggestions.
b. Students join the group to learn the topics they have chosen.
c. The group composition is based on student interest and must be heterogeneous.
d. Teachers assist in gathering information and facilitating arrangements.
2) Plan the Tasks to be Learned The students plan together about: What we learn,
how we learn it, who does what, for what purpose or interest we are investigating
this topic.
3) Implement Investigation
a. Students gather information, analyse data, and make conclusions.
b. Each member of the group contributes to his group's efforts.

done, about the effectiveness of their experiences.
b. Teachers and students collaborate in evaluating student learning.
c. Assessment of learning should evaluate the highest thinking.

1. Topic: Novel
2. Skill: Reading
3. Indicator:

In this model students are divided into groups of 3-5 people. Groups can be formed
based on the similarity of interest in a topic but remain heterogeneous. Students select the
sub topic they want to learn and the topic is usually determined by the teacher.
Then students and teachers determine the learning steps. Then at the end they will
present the results in front of their friends and will give each other evaluation related of the
results of the discussion. Teachers will also contribute to the evaluation in case of error.
