Abstract
This research investigates the effectiveness of the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) model integrated with question card media in enhancing student engagement and performance in Indonesian language learning. The study aims to address common challenges in language education, such as low student participation, passive learning behaviors, and limited critical thinking skills. By using the TPS framework, which promotes individual reflection, peer discussion, and group sharing, alongside question card media, this research explores the impact of these strategies on student interaction, comprehension, and overall learning outcomes. The findings suggest that the combination of TPS and question card media significantly increases student engagement, fosters collaborative learning, and improves critical thinking. Students demonstrated greater willingness to participate in discussions, improved oral language skills, and more thoughtful responses to questions. Additionally, teachers observed enhanced classroom dynamics, with more students taking ownership of their learning. This model proved to be adaptable and effective, not only for Indonesian language learning but also for broader educational contexts. The results indicate that the TPS model with question card media offers a practical and effective approach for addressing pedagogical challenges in language classrooms. This research contributes to the ongoing development of student-centered learning strategies, with implications for language teachers seeking to foster active learning and improve student performance.
