Based on the data obtained during the implementation of cycle I and cycle II, the results of research were obtained in cycle I, namely in the observation of guided note taking learning methods in teacher activities are in sufficient qualifications (C) and there is an increase in cycle II which is in good qualifications (B). Meanwhile, in the observation of the process, the aspects of students in cycle I are in less qualification (K) and there is an increase in cycle II which is in sufficient qualification (C).
