After Implementing the Action a. The Result of Interview

B. The Analysis of Data

The following is the analyzing the qualitative data by using Miles and Huberman Model: 1. Data Reduction The data reduction is taken from the fieldnotes, the observation forms and the result of interview. They are limited and summarized from the effectiveness of the activity in presenting the Simple Past Tense and the implementation of information-gap activity in teaching Simple Past Tense. 2. Data Display The data is displayed by the writer in the form of systematic and logic sentence and narrative text. It aims to describe the result of interview and observation fieldnotes and observation forms. The result of interview is displayed on page 63 to 65 in the form of systematic and logic sentence. The result of observation in the form of fieldnotes and observation form is displayed on page 61 to 62 in the form of narrative text. 3. Conclusion Drawing Based on the qualitative data displayed, the writer with the teacher as collaborator infer that there is a significant improvement of the quality in presenting Simple Past Tense and the quality in implementing information-gap activity from the cycle 1 to the cycle 2. In analyzing the quantitative data both pre-test and post-test in each cycle, the writer does four steps: calculating the average score of the students mean, calculating the percentage score which passes the Minimum Mastery Criterion, Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM, and calculating the students‟ score improvement in Simple Past Tense from cycle 1 to cycle 2. First, calculating the mean of students in the pre-test result: n xi X   28 1252  X X = 44.71 After calculating the mean of Pre-test, the next step is calculating percentage score which passes the Minimum Mastery Criterion KKM. N F P  x 100 28 5  P x 100 28 500  P P = 17.85 Based on the calculation of pre-test above, the mean of the pre-test is 44.71 and the percentage of the students who pass the Minimum Mastery Criterion, Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM, is 17.85. At the first cycle of CAR, the writer calculates the mean of students‟ score, the percentage of the students who pass the Minimum Mastery Criterion, Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM, and the improvement of students‟ score in Simple Past Tense from the pre-test to the first post-test calculated by N-Gain Formula. First, the mean of students‟ score in first cycle: n xi X   28 1683  X X = 60.10 Second, the precentage of students who pass the Minimum Mastery Criterion, Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM: N F P  x 100 28 12  P x 100 28 1200  P P = 42.86 Third, the improvement of students‟ score in Simple Past Tense from the pre-test to first post-test: 100           Si Si Sf Gain N 71 . 44 100 71 . 44 10 . 60     Gain N 29 . 55 39 . 15   Gain N Gain N  = 0.28 So, based on the calculation, the writer knows that the mean of students at first cycle is 60.10. Moreover, the improvement of students‟ score of Simple Past Tense from pre-test to first post-test calculated by N-Gain formula is 0.28. It means that the improvement is still categorized low. Since there are twelve students who get 70 score and above, it shows that 42.86 students can pass the Minimum Mastery Criterion, Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM. At the second cycle of CAR, the writer calculates the average score of students in second post-test, the percentage of the students who pass the Minimum Mastery Criterion, Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM, and the improvement of students‟ score in Simple Past Tense from the pre-test to the second post-test calculated by N-Gain Formula. First, calculating the mean of students in the pre-test result: n xi X   28 2067  X X = 73.82 Second, the precentage of students who pass the Minimum Mastery Criterion KKM: N F P  x 100 28 20  P x 100 28 2000  P P = 71.42 Third, the students‟ score improvement from the pre-test to the second post-test: 100           Si Si Sf Gain N 71 . 44 100 71 . 44 83 . 73     Gain N 29 . 55 12 . 29   Gain N Gain N  = 0.53 From the calculation, the writer finds that the mean of the students‟ second post-test result is 73.82. Since there are twenty students who get seventy score and above, the percentage of students who pass the Minimum Mastery Criterion KKM is 71.42. Furthermore, the improvement of students‟ score in Simple Past Tense from the pre-test to the second post-test calculated by N-Gain formula is 0.53. It means that the improvement is categorized medium. The following is the table of students‟ improvement in Simple Past Tense.
