This was a classroom action research (CAR) study. The research subjects used were Grade VII C students of SMP Negeri 2 Ngemplak in the even semester of the 2018/2019 academic year, with a total of 32 students. The study was conducted in two cycles each of which consisted of two meetings. The data were collected using observation sheets, tests, and documentation. The data analysis techniques were qualitative and quantitative descriptive techniques. Related to the criteria for the research success, students’ learning activeness was considered improving if on average 70% in one class were active in learning activities. As for students’ learning outcomes, a minimum of 75% achieved a Minimum Mastery Criterion (MMC) of 75.

The results of the study were as follows. (1) Efforts to improve learning activeness and outcomes of students using the STAD learning model were carried out with the following steps: dividing groups, determining initial scores, building groups, exposing materials, studying in groups, working on quizzes, calculating individual and group scores, recognizing group achievements and returning quiz results by emphasizing group discussions, individual skills and working on quizzes.
