Therefore, the researcher tried to find solution to improve the student’s  learning activeness and  achievement by applying Think Pair Share (TPS) learning model. The research participants were the students of grade XII IPS 1 SMAN 1 Kerinci. The significance of the research was to enable the students to answer the questions and exercises in accountance material as well as improve their activeness during the learning and teaching process. The researcher was helped by a collaborator who was also the teacher of the same subject to observe the activities.
