The average of the post test result is computed as follows: The average mark is
=
71.7. The post test score was 71.7. As a matter of fact, it is higher than the
pretest score which is 36.4. It is quite surprising that the post-test score dropped if it was compared to the results of the three cycles. This might be because the
students had forgotten the early materials. Another possibility is that perhaps the students were tired since the action research was done after the school schedule.
There were supposed to be other factors that I didn’t noticed; however, the two results comparison answer the second statement of the problem in the first
chapter, namely, there is a distinction in understanding narrative-containing idiom after the students have taken idiom-based class.
The last objective of my research is to answer the last statement of the problem. In order to obtain the particular answer, I used a questionnaire. Later on
the computation of the questionnaire could be used to answer the third statement of the problem.
