The score is the student’s score which is calculated from the score obtained by the student, divided with maximum score and multiplied by 100. The obtained score is the score which is gained by every student in the aspects of content, organization, grammar, and vocabulary. And the maximum score is the highest score when the student writes correctly based on the four aspects determined. While the data on students’ response to the implementation of Jigsaw technique in writing a narrative text obtained through questionnaire is analyzed in the form of percentage. 37

F. The Criteria of the Action Success

Criteria of success were set up to determine whether the action in the research was successfully completed or not. In line with this study, the criteria of success were decided as follows. 1. The students are highly motivated during the teaching and learning process. The students are considered motivated if there were 75 of students are enthusiastic in writing narrative text during the implementation of Jigsaw technique in the classroom. It is analyzed on the basis of the obtained data from the observation, questionnaire and interview. 2. The students’ writing score could achieve the target of the Minimum Mastery Criterion- Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM of English 70.0 or above. And it is considered successful if 75 of the students with individual score in writing narrative text achieve at least the same as or above 70.0. It is established on the basis of the scores of the students’ writing analyzed by analytic scoring rubric as illustrated in Table 3.2. 38

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS

A. The Description of the Data

1. Findings of the Preliminary Study

A preliminary study was conducted to get data about the factual conditions of the problems faced by the teacher and students in the teaching and learning process of writing. The preliminary study was conducted on January 24 th , 2011 which was done by a interviewing the English teachers in terms of the techniques and activities employed in teaching writing, b giving questionnaire to the students in terms of learning English, and c assigning the students to write narrative text in order to identify the students’ real competence and problems in writing narrative texts.

a. The Result of Pre Interview

Pre interview carried out in this study was the unstructured interview. It was held on Monday, 24 th 2011 started at 10.00 A.M and finished at 10.30 A.M. The writer asked to the teacher some questions which divided into three categories, involving: the general condition in English class especially in writing class, the difficulty faced by students and 39 their participation, and the strategy used by the teacher in writing class and asking about Jigsaw technique. First category discussed about the general condition in English class especially in writing class. The teaching learning process conducted as usual, there were pre activities, while activities and post activities. In writing class, the teacher used some activities like grouping, fill in the blank, arrange the words into a good sentence, and arrange the sentence into a good paragraph and write a short story about their daily activities, and so on. The media used was pictures and text which relevant to the topic. see item numbers 1, 2 and 3 of interview Second category talked about the difficulty faced by the students focus on English skill. The teacher said that writing were the difficult skills to be learned whereas the students must achieve the Minimum Mastery Criterion- Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM . The students’ difficulties in writing lied on generating ideas and organizing into paragraph, choosing the words and using appropriate grammar. Consequently, the students got boredom in writing class and students’ participation in writing class was not too active. see item numbers 4,5, 6, 7 and 8 of interview The last category is about the strategy used by the teacher in writing class and asking about Jigsaw technique. The teacher said that she has never used Jigsaw technique in writing class but she has known about Jigsaw technique. She assumed that Jigsaw could be an effective technique in teaching writing because it could facilitate the learning. It was good to help generate the ideas. So, it might be able to improve students’ ability in writing. See item numbers 9, 10, 11 and 12 of interview. The conclusion of the interview in term of the students’ difficulties in writing was the students’ of English 2 class still have difficulties in writing in term of generating ideas, organizing ideas into paragraph and choosing the words.
