Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan proses pembelajaran dan meningkatkan hasil belajar matematika siswa melalui penerapan model pembelajaran kooperatif Numbered Heads Together (NHT). Penelitian ini adalah penelitian tindakan kelas dengan dua siklus. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi aktivitas guru dan siswa dan tes hasil belajar matematika dalam bentuk tes harian. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa kelemahan pada siklus II menurun dari kelemahan yang terjadi pada siklus I, artinya telah terjadi peningkatan dalam proses pembelajaran. Rata-rata hasil belajar siswa pada siklus II lebih tinggi daripada rata-rata hasil belajar siswa pada siklus I, sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa prestasi belajar matematika siswa meningkat. This study aims to improve the learning process and improve students' mathematics learning outcomes through the implementation of cooperative learning model Numbered Heads Together (NHT) stuctural approach. This research is a classroom action research with two cycles. Data collection is done through observation of teacher and student activity and test of mathematics learning outcomes in the form of daily test. The result of data analysis shows that the weakness in cycle II decreases from the weakness that occurs in cycle I, it means there has been improvement in the learning process. The average of student learning outcomes in cycle II is higher than the average of students 'learning outcomes in cycle I, so it can be said that the students' math achievement increased.

When interacting on a learning task, which is typical of several academic situations, individuals may experience two different motives: Understanding the problem, or showing their competences. When a conflict (confrontation of divergent propositions) emerges from this interaction, it can be solved either in an epistemic way (focused on the task) or in a relational way (focused on the social comparison of competences). The latter is believed to be detrimental for learning. Moreover, research on cooperative learning shows that when they share identical information, partners are led to compare to each other, and are less encouraged to cooperate than when they share complementary information. An epistemic vs. relational conflict vs. no conflict was provoked in dyads composed by a participant and a confederate, working either on identical or on complementary information (N = 122). Results showed that, if relational and epistemic conflicts both entailed more perceived interactions and divergence than the control group, only relational conflict entailed more perceived comparison activities and a less positive relationship than the control group. Epistemic conflict resulted in a more positive perceived relationship than the control group. As far as performance is concerned, relational conflict led to a worse learning than epistemic conflict, and - after a delay - than the control group. An interaction between the two variables on delayed performance showed that epistemic and relational conflicts were different only when working with complementary information. This study shows the importance of the quality of relationship when sharing information during cooperative learning, a crucial factor to be taken into account when planning educational settings at the university.
