Natural Sciences have many aspects that are difficult for students to understand, making it difficult for students to be motivated to study Science. Even though motivation is very important in learning activities because learning without or lacking motivation will not be optimally successful. The learning model is one of the factors that significantly influences learning motivation. One learning model that has been widely applied to improve the quality of learning is the student teams achievement division (STAD) type cooperative learning model. This research aims to improve the quality of science learning, specifically the elemental material in terms of increasing student learning motivation by implementing the STAD type cooperative learning model in 8^th grade student of SMPN 2 Telukjambe Barat. The research methodology used is classroom action research with student evaluation sheets, Teacher Performance Assessment Tool forms, and observation sheets as research instruments. The results of data analysis revealed that there was an increase in the average student test score from 30.86 to 49.43. The value of teaching modules and the value of learning improvement practices also increased. On the observation sheet there are also additional criteria marked as existing (appearing). Based on this, it can be concluded that the student team’s achievement division (STAD) type cooperative learning model can increase the motivation to learn science material for 8^th grade students at SMPN 2 Telukjambe Barat.
