F. Technique of Data Analysis
In  analyzing  the  data,  the  writer  used  t
test
formula.  The  two  classes  are compared to the independent variable, the experiment class is X variable and the
control class is Y variable. The formula of t
test
is expressed as follows:
6
Where: Mx = Mean of Variable X
My = Mean of Variable Y SE = Standard Error
Afterwards, the calculation goes to several processes as follows:

1. Determining Mean of Variable X

2. Determining Mean of Variable Y

G. Statistical Hypothesis
The statistical hypothesis of this study can be seen as:
Ho  :  There  is  no  significant  progress  in  using  picturess  series  towards
students’ writing skill in narrative text.
Ha   : There is a significant progress in using pictures series towards students’
writing skill in narrative text.

experimental group are higher than the controlled group. The using of pictures  series  is  e
ffective  towads  students’  writing  skill  in  narrative text.
2. If  t-test  t

the experimental group are same as or lower than the controlled group. The using of pictures seriesis is not effective towards student
s’ writing
skill in narrative text.

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDING
A. Data Description
The  data  were  collected  from  students  pre-test  and  post-test  of  both classes. The data which is obtained is described into two tables. The table 4.1
showed the students’ score and achievement in experiment class and the table 4.2
showed the students’ score and achievement in control class. Each table has five columns; the first column showed the number of students, the second
and the third  column showed pre-test  and post-test  scores,  the fourth column showed the gain score from pre-test and post-test, and the last column showed
the catogorization in post test score.
