CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDING and INTERPRETATION
A. The Description of Data
To  know  the  result  of  this  experiment,  the  writer  collected  the students’ score in the pre-test and post-test from the two classes. The variable
X represented the result of pre-test and post test from the experiment class and the variable Y is the result of pre-test and post-test in the controlled class.
1.  The Data of Experiment Class
Based  on  the  data  gather  from  the  pre-test  and  post-test  in  the experiment  class,  it  could  be  seen  that  from  40  students  in  the  experiment
class, the mean of the pre-test is 73.2.  The data shows that the lowest score achieved  by  students  is  48  and  the  highest  score  in  pre-test  is  78.  After
giving  treatment  by  using  card  games,  the  writer  conducted  a  post-test  to know  the  effectiveness  of  using  card  games  in  teaching  vocabulary.  The
highest score in the post-test is 96 achieved by four students and the lowest score is 78 and the mean of the post-test is 87.6. So, the writer calculates the
mean  of  gained  score  from  the  experiment  class  is  14.4.  The  data  shows student’s  achievement  score  after  gained  the  treatment  was  increased.
Further  details  about  the  students  score  will  be  presented  on  the  appendix 12.
2.  The Data of Control Class
According  to  the  data  from students’  pre-test  and  post-test  in  the
control  class,  the  mean  of  the  pre-test  is  72.35.  The  data  shows  that  the lowest  score achieved by  students  is  48 and the highest  score in  pre-test is
78, it was the same with the score achieved by students’ in the experiment
class. In the end of the research, the writer conducted a post-test. The data shows  the  lowest  score  is  78  and  the  highest  score  in  the  post-test  is  96
achieved by one student. Meanwhile, the mean of the post-test is 80.85. So, the writer calculates the mean of gained score from the experiment class is
8.5;  it  is  lower  than  the  mean  of  gained  score  from  the  experiment  class. Further  details  about  the  students  score  will  be  presented  on  the  appendix
13.
B.  The Analysis of Data
The  writer  use  statistic  calculation  to  find  empirical  evidence  and  to ease  the  writer  in  hypotheses  testing.  The  writer  drew  a  table  consist  of  six
columns.  The  first  column  score  showed  the  score  interval,  the  second column f showed the frequency, the third column
̅ consist of the mean of
the  post-test  score,  the  fourth  column ,  the  fifth  column  showed
which  was  resulted  from  the  multiplication  of  f  and ,  the  last  column
was  the  multiplication  of and  f.  this  table  will  be  used  to
calculated the mean, deviations standard and standard errors of variable X.
