CHAPTER IV FINDING AND INTERPRETATION

In this chapter presents, the researcher presents the finding of the research. In this case, it discussed the way to improve students’ reading comprehension of discussion text through Students Team Achievement Division STAD Technique in the XII th grade of Science Class at SMA Fatahillah Jakarta and the interpretation about the finding.

A. Finding

1. Finding pre-implementation of the CAR

Before implementing the Classroom Action Research CAR, there are three parts that have to be considered. Those are: result of pre-observation, result of pre-questionnaire, and result of pre-test. Those explanations are as follow: a. Result of Pre-Observation Pre observation was conducted to observe the process of teaching and learning in reading activity before implementing the action. It was held on Tuesday and Wednesday, September, 23 td an d 24 td 2014 at XII th grade of science students of SMA Fatahillah Jakarta. That class consists of 15 students. The pre-observation was started at 09.30 A.M. and finished at 10.00 A.M. In general, during the teaching and learning activities in the classroom, the teacher tended to dominate the class. Teacher liked a center of the class. Therefore students become passive and just did the activity asked by the teacher. However, there are some students that can be classified as high students. They were always active in the class and looked interest in English. In addition, they tried to ask many questions and, sometime, criticized the material during the teaching and learning process. In this class seemed that there was a gap between high students and low students. If the high students can follow the lesson smoothly, but the low students have to be given some stimulations to understand the material. b. Result of Pre-Questionnaire Pre-questionnaire was used to know the students’ response of teaching learning process before implementing CAR. The pre-questionnaire was delivered on Tuesday September, 30 th 2013. Table 4.1 Students’ Result of Pre-Questionnaire No Student’s answer The result of student’s answer Yes No 1. Students feel satisfied with their English score 9 60 6 40 2. Students like to learn English 11 73,3 4 26,6 3. Students motivated in learning reading comprehension 5 33,3 10 66,6 4. Students understand reading comprehension that was taught by the teacher in the class 6 40 9 60 5. Students have a difficulty in deciding the schematic structure of the text. 10 66,6 5 33,3 6. Students could easy to remember the schematic structure of the text 5 33,3 10 66,6 7. The students know the use of reading comprehension in their daily life 6 40 9 60 8. Students can do the exercises about reading comprehension 7 46,6 8 53,3 9. Students do the English exercises individually 7 46,6 8 53,3 10 Students do the English exercise in group 12 80 3 20 Result 51.97 47,97 Based on the result of the pre-questionnaire on the table 4.1, the researcher would like to write the explanation. In fact, from the table above it can be interpreted that actually students like to learn English because most students, in this case, 60 of students answer yes when the researcher asked whether they like to learn English or not. However, in learning reading comprehension they face many obstacles, such as, limited vocabularies, error in structures, and difficult in deciding and remembering schematic structure of the text. The data showed that 66.6 of students have a difficulty in deciding and remembering the schematic structure of the text See on table 4.1 no. 5 6. As a result, they were difficult in understanding the material that was taught by the teacher and they were unmotivated in learning reading comprehension. Then, it caused they could not do the exercise well and their reading score is always bad and below the KKM. As could be seen on table 4.1 that 60 of students did not understand the material that was taught by the teacher, and 66.6 of students unmotivated in learn English, and it make 53.3 of student hard to do English task, hence, 40 of students dissatisfied with their English score. In doing the English task actually most students or 80 of students prefer to work in group than to do the task individually. There just 46.6 of students who answer “yes” about doing exercise individually. Last, but perhaps more importantly that on the table above showed that only 40 of student knew the use of reading comprehension in their daily life. It means that most of students, in this case 60, did not really understand the purpose of their learning reading in their real life. In conclusion, the total number of students who answer “yes” for the following question was 51.97. However, the total number of students who answer “no” for the following question was 47.97. in other word, students have a difficulty in learning reading comprehension and students also has a low motivation in learning reading in English. c. Result of Pre-Test The pre-test was held on Tuesday, September 30 th 2013. There were 20 questions in form of multiple choice questions. The students carried out the test during 4 0 minutes. Here is the table of the students’ score result in pre-test:
