CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDING
This chapter focuses on the result of research finding related to the study. It discusses about the description of data, the analysis of data, the testing of
hypothesis, and interpretation of the result.
A. The Description of Data
This part explains general description of data that the writer got from the research. The data were collected from students’ score in pre-test and post-test of
both experiment class and control class. After conducting the research, the writer obtained the data. There was posttest
score for each class. The experiment class and the control class were taught with different technique in teaching reading. The experimental class was taught the
descriptive text using directed reading activity, whereas the control class without used directed reading activity.
1. The Data of Pre-test in Experiment Class and Control Class
a. The Data of Pre-test in Experiment Class
Based on the data gathered from pre-test in the experiment class, it could be seen that from 40 students in the experiment. The data were shown that the lowest
score achieved by students is 50 and the highest score in pre-test is 90 see appendix 9.

Based on the Table 4.1 above, most of student got score 64 – 70 with the
percentage 20 students, 17.5 students got score about 50 – 56, 57 – 63 and 78
– 84, 15 students got score about 71 – 77 and 12.5 students got score 85 – 91. The data of frequency distribution can be described on the chart below:

b. The Data of Pre-test in Control Class
Based on the data gathered from pre-test in the experiment class, it could be seen that from 40 students in the experiment. The data were shown that the lowest
score achieved by students is 50 and the highest score in pretest is 90 see appendix 10.
