4.1.2. Result Analysis of the Pre Test
The pre-test conducted on April 22
nd
2010 was done to know the basic knowledge of the subjects that were the tenth grade students of MA Al Asror in Class X.A in
writing narrative text. Therefore, I could choose appropriate material I would give to them in the activities in each cycle and I would know the significant
progression of the students in writing narrative text by comparing the result of pre test, formative test, and posttest.
In analyzing the result of the pre test done by the students, I used Brown scoring system in the “Language Assessment, Principle and Classroom Practice”
book. There were five aspects I had to score according to this book; the organization, content, grammar, punctuation and the style of their language use.
Every aspect was divided into five categories that were excellent to good, good to adequate, adequate to fair, unacceptable, and not college-level work.
From the result of students’ writing, there were three students got 52, four students got 54, six students got 57, two students get 59, two students got 60,
eight students got 61, two students got 64, three students got 65, two students got 70, and one student got 72.
Furthermore, I calculated the students’ score to know the average or percentage of the students’ achievement that would be compared with the result of
formative test and posttest in order to know the progression of the students’ achievement.
The average of the students’ achievement in doing the pre test was calculated by using the formula below:
The average of the students’ result =
= 1979 33
= 59.96 From the calculation above, we could see that the average of students’
score was 59.96. Based on the model of analytic scale for rating composition tasks as stated by Brown 2004: 244-245, we can conclude that that students’
achievement in doing pre test is unacceptable and the result is lower than the target of achievement. The result of pre test is presented in appendix 7 page 87.
The average of the students’ achievement of pretest was very poor. To my analysis, there were some mistakes made by the students. The mistakes made
were in grammar, vocabulary, the use of possessive pronoun, spelling, punctuation, and organization of the text. The mistakes made in grammar such as
the use of the word “to” and “for” before verb in the sentence, the use of the word “not” for negative verb, miss order structure etc., for instance, “..there be a child
name Malin Kundang”, “Malin Kundang and her mother weas por” “..Malin Kundang to go to town...”, “Mande Rubiyah to get news...”, etc. The mistakes
made in vocabulary were the use of inappropriate words in the sentences. While, the mistakes made in organization were the incomplete ideas in the paragraph.
Hence, I concluded that I had to give a treatment to the students to improve their writing skill in writing narrative text.
