CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
After finishing the Classroom Action Research CAR, the writer gives some conclusions based on the result of this research. Furthermore, the writer also
gives some suggestions related to the conclusion. However, the writer would like to give her summary of this research, before giving conclusion and suggestion.
The writer would like to summarize her study. This study uses the Classroom Action Research CAR method to identify students’ problem in
reading comprehension, it is begun by interviewing the English teacher and observing in the VII - 1 class at MTsN 19 Pinang Kalijati which is considered as
the class that sufficient to study by using group work technique. The number of students consist of 46 forty six which is divided 25 twenty five for female
students and 21 twenty one for male students. In this study, the writer uses the Kurt Lewin’s design which consists of four phases. Those are planning, acting,
observing, and reflecting. Meanwhile, the data is taken among from the test,
interview and observation. It could be summed up as; first, related to the test result, there was 17.19 improvement of students’ mean score from pretest to the
posttest of the second cycle. In the pretest, there were six students who passed the KKM. Then in the result of posttest in cycle 1, there were 30 or 65.21 students
in the class who passed the KKM considering their mean score of the test is 64.34. Next in the result of posttest in the cycle 2, there are 37 or 80.43 students who
passed the KKM in which their mean score of reading test derived 73.04. Second,
the observation result showed that the students were more active, more enjoy, and interested in learning reading activity in the classroom by using group work.
Moreover, they could analyze the schematic structures of descriptive text by sharing with their friends in group work. Third, based on the interview result it
could be known that the students’ reading comprehension of descriptive text has improved and the teacher also finds that group work is suitable in teaching
reading descriptive text.
A. Conclusion
Based on the research conducted in VII – 1 class at MTsN 19 Pinang
Kalijati in academic year 20102011, it could be concluded that the students could develop their reading comprehension of descriptive text through group work
technique and be more active and also interested in learning reading. Then, they also could analyze the schematic structures concerning identification and
description of descriptive text by using group work technique. Therefore, they were able to gain better academic achievement on reading descriptive text.
B. Suggestion
In this part, the writer would like to give some suggestions that might be useful for the teacher. First, group work could help students to develop their
reading comprehension, so it could be nice if the teacher uses group work technique in the next meeting or in the new academic year in teaching descriptive
text. Second, in teaching reading descriptive text the teacher has to have an ability to control all groups. For example, the teacher could monitor each group when
students are working together. Next, do not forget to give reward for students who could work well in their group and punishment for students who do not work in
their group. However, during implementing group work method in Classroom Action
Research CAR, the writer knew that she found a shortcoming in this study. That is using group work technique in teaching descriptive text needs a longer time.
Hopefully, there will be any further research of how to make this technique better.
