Sampling in this study used purposive sampling, consisting of 20 students in each experimental and control class. The data needed, using data collection techniques, namely tests and documentation. The data analysis techniques used are descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis. The results showed that social studies learning outcomes increased after being given treatment in the form of using the TGT model and the learning mastery obtained was relatively high and there was an effect of applying the TGT cooperative learning model to student learning outcomes. So that with this research it is hoped that they can broaden their knowledge and skills so that they can update in developing this research so that it can be useful for improving the quality of education in Indonesia.
