accepted. Therefore, the answer of the problem formulation was concluded from the calculation that Dictogloss technique has positive effect to enhance the
mastery of simple past tense for the first grade students of SMK Bopkri I Yogyakarta
.
C. Other Findings
The result above showed that the Dictogloss technique has positive effect to enhance the mastery of simple past tense for the first grade students of SMK
Bopkri I Yogyakarta . During the experiment, the researcher had observed some
contributions of Dictogloss technique which can be used in class. The first contribution is related to students’ reaction to the teacher’s
technique. Positive reaction made students motivated to learn in class. Of course, both students in two groups reacted positively to teacher’s technique, but the
students in the experimental group seemed to be more motivated. It was because the students were the center of their teaching- learning process. They discussed in
a group how to construct the text, how to analyze and how to correct their own notes. By doing so, the students activated their background knowledge first
before coming to the researcher’s explanation. Then, after listening to the researcher’s explanation, the students came to the real practice by making a short
dialogue. Unconsciously, the students had combined their declarative knowledge and procedural knowledge. By applying Dictogloss technique, it prevented the
students to get bored easily. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
On the other hand, the students in control group also had motivation but not as high as those in experimental group. It was because the students kept
listening the researcher’s explanation without having chance to apply their declarative knowledge
into the real communicative context. Furthermore, the teacher would be the center of the teaching- learning process.
The second contribution is related to the students’ understanding. The students in the experimental group had better understanding than those in the
control group. It was also proved from their result in doing the test. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter concludes the study in two ways. The first is presenting the conclusions, which is drawn from the findings and the data analysis as described
