CHAPTER IV DATA ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
In this chapter, the writer presented discussion of the result of the study. They are the analysis of per-test, the analysis of teaching learning process, the
analysis of post-test, and the last is the analysis of questionnaire.
4.1 The Analysis of Pre Test
A pre-test was conducted before the writer gave some activities for teaching learning process. The purpose of giving the pre-test was to know the
students’ mastery of simple past tense before the teaching learning process or the students’ initial condition. By doing this activity, the writer knew whether the
students had mastered or not about simple past tense. The pre-test itself was conducted on February 14
th
, 2009 and followed by 46 students. It consisted of 30 items of completion test.
From the students’ result of pre-test, it was found that 1 student got more than 68 and 45 students got less than 68. The writer concluded that the result of
pre-test was very unsatisfied. After tabulating the result of students’ pre-test, the writer then tried to
analyze the pre-test result in order to know the students’ initial condition. The result of students’ achievement was as follows:

From the analysis above, the average mark of the students’ pre-test was 38. 26 . This result was very poor. Only one student got mark more than 68,
that was 70. It means that only one student assessed in the pre-test. Meanwhile, the students are considered could assess the lesson if they had mark more than or
equal to minimum of criterion assessment, that was 68. The writer concluded that most of students had not mastered simple past tense. For that reason, the teaching
learning process needed some improvement in order to improve the students’ ability in mastering simple past tense.
Based on the writer’s analysis, among 30 items of the pre-test, the items which considered the most difficult were items, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 16, 17, 25, and 28,
29. Less than 15 students answered those items correctly. The students could not do items 7 might because it was two words verbs and they were not familiar with
the verbs. Most of them also could not answer items 8, 9, 16, 17, and 25 well. The
35
problem was they still have difficulty in making negative and interrogative sentences. They still use past verbs in making negative and interrogative simple
past tense and did not use infinitive. They also had problems to solve items 13, 28, and 29. They could not identify the use of be was and were. There were also
four students who got mark less than 33, 33 this was because they only answered 25 to 40 from the whole items. The analysis of the pre-test correct
items could be seen in appendix 18.
