In this study the tests will use to measure the student’s mastery in writing narrative. The test will divide into two sections, they are pre test and post test.
Here the pre-test will used to see the students’ mastery in writing narrative before the treatment and the post test will use to see the students’ achievement in writing
narrative after the treatment.
3.8 Procedure of the experiment
The explanation procedures in experimental design are: 1 Choosing the population of the research that was the eighth year of SMP
Negeri 2 Kendal in the academic year 2010 2011. 2 Taking two groups as the control group and experimental group.
3 Conducting the experiment. The experiment class was given treatment by using British Council Animation toward students’ mastery in writing
narrative. Otherwise, the control class, they were taught by delivering the conventional technique for the whole material by the teacher.
4 Comparing both difference between pre-test and post-test result of both experimental group and control group by applying t-test formula.
5 Making conclusion of the research result.
3.9 Method of Collecting Data
There were some steps to do research; one of the most important was collecting data. It would influence the result of the research. Before the test item was used as
an instrument to collect the data, it had been tried out first to the student in other 28
class. After the result of the try out had been scored, an analysis was made to find out the validity and reliability of the try out item. All of them were used to decide
which items should be tested in making the instrument.
3.10 Try Out
Saleh 2001: 33 says that “the data of the students’ achievement cannot be collected by questionnaire”. Therefore, test is used to measure students’
achievement. The quality of the data, whether it is good or bad, is based on the instrument to collect the data. A good instrument must fulfill two important
qualifications. Those are valid and reliable. So, before the test was used as an instrument to collect the data, it had been tried out first to the students in the class.
After scoring the result of the try out, the writer made an analysis to find out the validity and reliability of the items of the test. All of them were used to decide
which items should be used in collecting the data. The arranged instrument will be tried out in another class with same grade.
From the result of tryout then analyzed to determine the questions which proper to be used in research instrument. The purpose is to know whether the test have good
requirements test or not. The data analysis that will be used in measuring tryout test involve: Validity analysis, Reliability analysis level difficulty analysis, and
discriminating power. 29
