to actually learn it (learning to learn). In a substantial sense, the learning process to this day
still provides teacher dominance and does not provide access for students to develop
independently through their discovery and thinking process.
In this strategy (buzz group), the class is divided into small groups to have a brief
discussion about a problem. Each group is asked to come up with a hypothesis that they view
as relevant to one application of a principle, an example of a concept, or to a solution to a
problem.
The steps of this strategy usually start with choosing the person who will report the results of
the discussion as well as lead the discussion. Then ask each group member to come up with an
idea to answer the question or solve the problem being discussed. Finally, they had to come up
with an idea that was mutually agreed upon to report to the large class. For this strategy, groups
are usually given time limits such as five minutes, ten minutes or more, depending on the
complexity of the problem.
The use of a buzz group requires seating arrangements in a circular position. This
strategy guarantees the participation of all members of the group.
Small group discussion is an orderly process involving a group of students in a ptimal
cooperative face-to-face interaction with the aim of various information or experiences, making
decisions or solving problems. And also between students and students can play an active role,
especially in communication and motivation during the teaching and learning process without
excessive dominance from both parties. Buzz group is one of the strategies that can provide a
new classroom atmosphere in the learning process, especially the Qur'an Hadith, in this
learning method students will be trained to think effectively by exchanging opinions with other
students, in addition to being useful for increasing student learning motivation.
By applying these strategies, it is hoped that learning will take place pleasantly and students
are very motivated, so that they are able to assess, remember, and understand the material that
has been taught. Because in using this strategy, students also play an active role in groups
(cooperative learning). It is on this encouragement that students will be motivated in the
teaching and learning process (learning).
METHOD
This research is an action research, because the research is carried out to solve learning
problems in the classroom. This research also includes descriptive research, because it
describes how a learning technique is applied and how the desired results can be achieved.
According to Sukidin et al (2002: 54) there are 4 kinds of action research forms,
namely: (1) teacher action research as a researcher, (2) collaborative action research, (3)
integrated simultaneous action research, and (4) experimental social action research (Harahap,
2018).
The four forms of action research above, there are similarities and differences.
According to Oja and Smulyan as quoted by Kasbolah, (2000) (in Sukidin, et al. 2002:55), the
characteristics of each study depend on: (1) its main purpose or its pressure, (2) the level of
Questioning and Answering between researchers and researchers from outside, (3) the process
used in conducting research, and (4) the relationship between the project and the school
(SUMARDIN, 2021).
