Action Action Research Cycle Two a. Revised Plan
48
To compare the result between pre-test and post-test of each cycle, the writer uses some steps. First, the writer calculates the students‟ mean
score for each test. Second, she computes the percentage of students‟
improvement score from pre-test to post-test cycle 1 and cycle 2. In analyzing the data of pre-test, the step is to get the mean score of
the class. It is calculated as following: x =
∑x n
x = 2660 39
x = 68.21
The mean score of the class in pre-test is 68.21. It means that the students‟ pronunciation mean score before using minimal pair drill or
before implementing CAR is 68.21. Then, the writer calculates the post-tests of CAR for each cycle to
measure the students‟ score improvement from the pre-test to post-test 1 result and then the post-test 1 result will be compared to the post-test 2
result of CAR cycle 2. The first step, the writer calculates the post-test 1 to know the students‟ improvement after implementing CAR in cycle 1.
