CHAPTER IV RESULT AND DISCUSSION

This chapter presents the result of research. In this case, it mentions the way to improve students’ achievement on past continuous tense by using portfolio assessment technique at class VIII.9 of SMPN 1 Pasar Kemis, Tangerang academic year 20102011. Related to the discussion of the result, it is divided into three parts. Those are the previous implementation of CAR, the implementation of CAR, and the discussion of all data after implementing the CAR.

A. The Previous Implementation of CAR

Before implementing CAR, the writer did pre observation and pretest to know the general conditions of the classroom. These are the explanation:

1. The Result of Pre Observation

The writer conducted the observation as a beginning step in this study. Pre observation was conducted on Wednesday, November 10 th 2011 with the students as a subject. Pre observation was held in order to find the problem in the classroom. Then the writer and the teacher followed up the hypothesis by conducting CAR. Based on the observation the writer found that teaching and learning activity generally is very monotonous and deductive in teaching the past continuous tense. The teacher gave the explanation of the concept and the using of the past continuous tense then asked for question to the students. Some 51 students respond the teacher, but most of them got bored and ignored teachers’ question. In the first session of the class, the teacher explained and continued by giving simple examples. The teacher delivered the material in one way communication where the students had less opportunity to ask questions. Then, without giving any interesting stimulations, the teacher directly asked the students to make past continuous tense sentences in their book. After giving explanation, the teacher gave some assignment in the students’ work sheet LKS. Then, the teacher asked students to answer the questions together and gave the score. When the teacher checked some students work, most students were cheating each other. Instead, the teacher let them did their work not individually. This led the students to not pay attention to the grammar lesson because it was so bored and difficult for them. Consequently there were only several students that could get good achievement in English lesson.

2. The Result of Pretest

The pre test had done before CAR. It was conducted on Wednesday, November 17 th , 2010. There were 20 questions in multiple-choice form in which the students carried out the test during 25 minutes. The result of the pre test can be seen in the following table: Table 4.1. Students Pre Test Score Pre Test Highest score 80 Lowest Score 15 Mean Score 55.25 The data showed that the mean score of pre test was 55.25. There were only 14 students who reached the score of KKM, meanwhile the other 26 52 students were below that criterion. The lowest achievement gained score 15. From that analyzing, it could be seen that almost of the VIII-9 students’ understanding on the past continuous tense was still very low.
