CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS
In finding of this research, the writer presents the data that have been collected. It is divided into three parts, the data of pre-implementing of the action,
the implementation of the action and the discussion of the data after Classroom Action Research CAR.
A. Pre-Implementation of The Action Result
In this part, there are three research results in the pre-implementation of the action, pre-observation, pre-interview and pre-test as follow:
1. The Result of Pre Observation
The aim of pre-observation is to know the teaching learning process directly before implementing the Classroom Action Research
CAR. Based on the pre-observation result that was conducted by the writer on Wednesday, March 31
th
2010 at 09.15 A.M, it is known that in teaching simple past tense at the Second grade students of SMP Dua Mei
Ciputat in 20092010 academic year, the teacher tends to be teacher- centered during the teaching learning process. So it makes the students be
passive. When she teaches grammar, especially in simple past tense, she presented the rules first and gave examples based on the rules to students
without asking them to practice it. Also, she gave a list vocabulary items are presented with translation in Indonesia. Then, she asked the students to
memorize the rules, examples and vocabularies. After that, she gave a test about simple past tense without knowing that they have understood or not.
Hence, the effect of this strategy is the students just memorize the rules and most of them do not know how to use the simple past tense based on
contextual in real life and also they do not know how to apply the rules to make a new examples.
