Students who passed the KKM the score are processed from students’ answer sheets.
To get the result of pre-test, firstly, the researcher calculated the mean score.
__ = ∑
X n __ = 1958
X 33 __ = 59.3
X
Then the percentage of students’ who passed the KKM score, the researcher used the following formula:
P = F x 100
N P = 5x100
33 P = 15.1
Based on the result of pre test, the data showed that the mean score of pretest is 59.3. There were only five students or 15.1 of the students
who gained the score above the Minimum Mastery Criterion KKM meanwhile the other 28 students were below that criterion. The lowest
achievement gained score 40. From that analyzing, it could be seen that almost the XIII students’ score in gaining vocabulary is still very low.
B. The implementation of Classroom Action Research CAR. 1. Cycle 1
a. Planning
In this phase, the writer and the teacher made a planning for the action dealing with preparing vocabulary clustering technique and determining the
criteria of success. In this phase the researcher made a planning for the action
32
research based upon the problems faced by students about vocabulary. In this case the writer determined the selected material and exercises into a lesson
plan. Based on syllabus, there are some kinds of text on this term, as follows: narrative, descriptive and procedure. Narration text was chosen as the text to
be delivered for students. That was only discussing some vocabulary about Zoo. In the lesson plan there were some texts to identify the relation of each
word. Besides planned the lesson plan, the researcher also prepared
o bservation sheet to observe the students and the researcher’s activities in
teaching learning process whether it was in line with the lesson plan that has been made before or not. And the researcher also prepared the post test 1 to
collect data; to know th ere are some students’ improvement scores from pre-
test to post-test. Next, the researcher and collaborator determined the criteria of
success. The criteria of success were 75 of students’ vocabulary score achieved the Minimum Mastery Criterion
– Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM of English 70.0 or above and 75 of students participated in English
vocabulary class. Beside, the researcher prepared the instruments for the research such as; post-test I, observation checklist, and camera to take pictures
of the action. And here the summary of the researcher steps in planning phase: 1.
Making lesson plan with the collaborator. 2.
Preparing model of vocabulary cluster 3.
Preparing material taken from English book and internet 4.
Prepare student worksheet. 5.
Preparing the instrument post-test I and observational note. 6.
Determining the criteria of success with collaborator 75 of 33 students or 23 students achieve the Minimum Mastery Criterion
– Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimum KKM of English 70 or above.
