Abstract

This research aimed at finding out the effectiveness of implementing Talking
Stick learning model by using discussion method on Math learning for the eighth-
grade students of SMP YP PGRI 4 Makassar. This research employed pre-
experimental method. The population of the research was the eighth-grade
students. The sample consisted of 23 students. Technique of data analysis was
descriptive analysis using gain. The result of data analysis showed that the result
of pre-test was low as indicated by the average score was 63.26 with deviation
