The data showed that the mean score of posttest 1 was 58.0. There were eighteen students or 60 of the students who got the score above
the Minimum Mastery Criterion, meanwhile the other 12 students were below that criterion.
It implied that the first criterion has not fulfilled. Based on the result of the students’ vocabulary achievement in the
cycle 1, there w as an increase of students’ mean score from the
students’ vocabulary achievement on the preliminary study to the students’ vocabulary achievement on the first cycle. It was from
preliminary study mean score from the mean class 49.6 increased to 58.0 or from 5 students who passed the score above the Minimum
Mastery Criterion to 18 students .
That means that there was 16.9 of mean score improvement. The improvement percentage derived from
the formula:

d. Reflecting
In this phase is discussing the result of the action. The researcher and her collaborator talked about the result of the action. Based on the
analysis of the students’ vocabulary score in post test 1 have not achieved the criteria of success that 75 of students must achieve the
Minimum Mastery Criterion- Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM. It
can be seen that only 60 of the students who got the score above the Minimum Mastery Criterion- Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM.
So,
52
the implementation of vocabulary card technique has not given satisfactory result yet on the improvement of students’ vocabulary.
The next is talking about Students’ participation. From the analysis of the students’ vocabulary worksheet score in the first cycle, it was
found that the students do not understand well about noun, verb, adjective and adverb well. They could not understand well about the
differences on noun and verb or adjective and adverb. But the better vocabulary memorizing is showed from their worksheet score on
vocabulary meaning See table 4.2. Therefore, it needs to revise the acting and planning before
implement to the next cycle so that it could achieve the criteria of success of this study. The test result indicated that the action in first
cycle did not achieve the action success yet, it need 10 to achieve the Minimum Mastery Criterion- Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM so
the teacher and the researcher had to move to the next cycle.
e. Revision of the First Cycle
Based on the analysis of the students’ score achievement on
vocabulary in the first cycle, the implementation of vocabulary card technique did not yet give satisfactory result on the improvement of
students’ vocabulary. Therefore, the researcher and the collaborator concluded some revision before the implementation of the next cycle in
order to achieve the criteria of success of this study. First, the revision was focused on the teaching procedure. In the
first cycle, the students were confused on making a vocabulary card. The students had a difficulty in understanding how to play a game by
using a vocabulary card. These problems were time-consuming and make the other students disturbed and felt bored. Then the teacher has
to give the example to make a vocabulary card clearly and slowly. Second revision was on classroom rule. In this cycle especially in
second and third meeting some students do not bring their last
53
vocabulary card and it make the other student disturbed because her or his friend borrowed their vocabulary card for the example for them and
it make the activity given by the teacher delayed. Because of this problem the teacher should remain the students to bring their
vocabulary card in every meeting. Third revision was on the explanation about the materials. In this
case is the explanation on several parts of speech such as noun, verb, adjective and adverb. The teacher should give the explanation clearly
and slowly to make a students understand about them and always repeat and check their understanding in beginning or the end of the lesson.
The last, the students had to bring dictionary, in order to help them to find out the meaning of word as their learning source except the
teacher. Collaboration with the teacher, the researcher concludes some
revisions for the first cycle to move to the next cycle, they are: 1
The teacher should give the clear explanation on how to make a
vocabulary card and slowly.
2 Remain the students to bring their vocabulary card in every
meeting.
3 Giving brief explanation about part of speech: noun, verb, adjective
and adverb slowly and clearly.
4 Get them to bring a dictionary in every meeting.
