IV. RESULTS, DATA ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents the result of this classroom action research. They are: the results of the actions in Cycle 1, the results of the actions in Cycle 2,
reflection, and discussion.
4.1 The Results of the Action in Cycle 1 4.1.1 The Results of Action
The implementation of the action in Cycle 1 was carried out in two meetings. The first meeting was conducted on May 30
th
, 2011 at 07:00 am and the second meeting was done on May 31
th
, 2011 at 07:00 am. The activities done in cycle 1 covered four stages namely planning, implementing, observing and
reflecting the action. The implementation of the action was based on the lesson plans which
were constructed by the researcher collaborated with the English teacher. The first meeting was carried out based on Lesson Plan 1 while the second meeting was
carried out based on the Lesson Plan 2. The process evaluation was done during the teaching and learning process
in each meeting. The observation checklist was used as the guideline to evaluate the process of the behavior change of the students.
Beside the process of evaluation, product evaluation was done in the administration of the reading comprehension test in the form of true false and
multiple choice. The test was done to measure the students’ reading comprehension achievement after being taught by using folktale as the material
after the actions in cycle 1 were done. It was administered on May 31
th
, 2011 at 10:15 am. It conducted on the same day with the second action because it was
near by the final examination.
4.1.2 The Results of Observation
The observation was done along the teaching learning process of reading comprehension through folktale. There were six indicators observed namely

4.1.3 The Results of Reading Comprehension Test
The reading comprehension test was administered in the third meeting. The test was given on May 31
th
, 2011 at 10:15 am. It was conducted in the same day with the second action because the time was near by final examination. The
test consisted of 20 items in the form of true false and multiple choice. Dealing with the scoring, for word comprehension was scored 4, sentence comprehension
was scored 5, paragraph comprehension was scored 6 and text comprehension was scored 9. Thus, the total score of the test items was 100. The results of the reading
comprehension test in Cycle 1 are presented in table 4.3 appendix 22. Based on Table 4.3, it was found that there were 24 students who achieved
the standard score and there were 12 students who did not achieve the standard
score. The percentage of the students gaining the score of at least 65 on the
reading comprehension test in cycle 1 was 61.53 . This means that it had not achieve the succes criteria of the research, that was at least 75 of the students
got ≥ 65 as the standard score. In other words, the actions given in cycle 1 were
not succesful yet.
4.1.4 The Results of the Reflection in Cycle 1
Based on the observation result, 66.67 of the students were active in the first meeting and 71.79 of the students were active in the second meeting during
the teaching learning process. In average there were 69.23 of the students were active in the teaching learning process. It means that the requirement of 75 of
the students as active participant in the teaching learning process of reading
the students could do the exercises given in cycle 2 better than the cycle 1. In cycle 2, the researcher gave the folktales from other island and selected the
folktales which appropriate with the students’ level. Unlike the action in Cycle 1, the students more enthusiastic and active in the teaching and learning process of
reading class
