Discussion A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT IN ENGLISH BETWEEN GRADUATES OF THE REGULAR JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND THOSE OF THE OPEN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

4. Hyphothesis Test of the Comparison of the English Achievement NEM between the Regular Junior High School and the Open Junior High School for the Academic Year 20002001 - 20022003 The comparison between the Regular Junior High School and the Open Junior High School for the academic year 20002001 - 20022003 as the result of computerized t student can be described as follows: t: 15.30510017 with the d.f: 1038 has the p: 0.00 0.01 so it is very significant for the 5 level of significance. This indicates that the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted.

C. Discussion

The writer presents the descriptive interpretation of the data obtained from the result of National English achievement test NEM and then the hypothesis test, as follows: 1. Data Interpretation a. The English Learning Achievement of the Regular Junior High Schools Based on the descriptive analysis of 20002001 - 20022003 it is found that there are 5 students 0.58 in the excellent category, 48 students 5.58 in very good category, 445 students 51.74 in good category, 356 students 41.40 in bad category and 1 students 0.12 in very bad category, and no student 0 in extremely bad category. The empirical mean of the English achievement of the Regular Junior High School is 5.26 and the standard deviation is 0.90. The hyphotetical mean is 5 while the ideal standard deviation is 1.66. The empirical mean is higher than the hyphotetical mean score 5.26 5. The empirical mean of the English achievement of the Regular Junior High School 5.26 is in the frequency distribution 5.00 - 6.66 falls in a good position. The interpretation of this matter is that the process of teaching and learning English in the Regular Junior High School running well. It can be seen that the Regular Junior High Schools students have been aware to highly improve their learning and so they can improve their English learning achievement NEM. b. The English Learning Achievement of the Open Junior High Schools Based on the descriptive analysis, it is found that there is no student 0 in the excellent category, no student 0 in very good category, 33 students 18.33 in good category, 133 students 73.89 in bad category, 14 students 7.78 in very bad category, and no student 0 in extremely bad category. The empirical mean of the English achievement of the Open Junior High School is 4.33 and the standard deviation is 0.69. The hyphotetical mean is 5.00 and the ideal standard deviation is 1.66. The empirical mean is lower than the hyphotetical mean score 4.33 5.00. The empirical mean of the English achievement of the Open Junior High School 4.33 in the frequency distribution of 3.33 - 4.99 falls in a bad position. The interpretation is that the process of teaching and learning English in the Open Junior High School not running well. It can be seen that the Open Junior High School students have not been aware to highly improve their learning and so it cant improve their English learning achievement. 2. Hypothesis Test Interpretation a. The Comparison between The English Achievement of the Regular Junior High School and the Open Junior High School for the year of 20002001 The comparison between the Regular Junior High School and the Open Junior High School for the academic year 20002001 as the result of computerized t student can be described as follows: t: 12.90779812 with the d.f: 356 has the p: 0.00 0.01 so it is very significant for the 5 level of significance. This indicates that the alternative hypothesis is accepted and null hypothesis is rejected. From the above discussion, it can be concluded that the English Achievement NEM of the Regular Junior High School students are higher than of the English Achievement NEM of the Open Junior High School students. b. The Comparison between The English Achievement of the Regular Junior High School and the Open Junior High School for the year of 20012002 The comparison between the Regular Junior High School and the Open Junior High School for the academic year 20012002 as the result of computerized t student can be described as follows: t: 15.01422482; d.f: 370 has the p: 0.00 0.01 so it is very significant for the 5 level of significance. This indicates that the alternative hypothesis is accepted and null hypothesis is rejected. From the above discussion, it can be concluded that the English Achievement NEM of the Regular Junior High School students are higher than of the English Achievement NEM of the Open Junior High School students. c. The Comparison between The English Achievement of the Regular Junior High School and the Open Junior High School for the year of 20022003 The comparison between the Regular Junior High School and the Open Junior High School for the academic year 20022003 as the result of computerized t student can be described as follows: t: 9.364998928 with the d.f: 308 has the p: 0.00 0.01 so it is very significant for the 5 level of significance. This indicates that the alternative hypothesis is accepted and null hypothesis is rejected. From the above discussion, it can concluded that the English Achievement NEM of the Regular Junior High School students are higher than of the English Achievement NEM of the Open Junior High School students. d. The Comparison between The English Achievement of the Regular Junior High School and the Open Junior High School for the year of 20002001 - 20022003 The comparison between the Regular Junior High School and the Open Junior High School for the academic year 20002001 - 20022003 as the result of computerized t student can be described as follows: t: 15.30510017 with the d.f: 1038 has the p: 0.00 0.01 so it is very significant for the 5 level of significance. This indicates that the alternative hypothesis is accepted and null hypothesis is rejected. From the above discussion, it can be concluded that the English Achievement NEM of the Regular Junior High School students are higher than of the English Achievement NEM of the Open Junior High School students. 64 CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION All the findings of the study which are based on the problem, the objectives, and the hypothesis of this study have been briefly discussed in the previous chapters. Now, the writer comes to the conclusion and suggestion which will be discussed separately.
