Reliability of the Students’ Motivation Questionnaire Try Out

Alternative Hypothesis: There is a correlation between the students’ motivation and their writing skill. The can be accepted if is higher than . The coefficient is between -1 up to +1. The negative coefficient shows contrary correlation, while the positive coefficient shows that there is a correlation. Below is the interpretation of coefficient correlation: a. Between 0.800 to 1.00 : very high correlation b. Between 0.600 to 0.800 : high correlation c. Between 0.400 to 0.600 : medium correlation d. Between 0.200 to 0.400 : low moderate e. Between 0.00 to 0.200 : very low correlation Setiyadi, 2006: 67 The researcher uses the level of significance 0.05 in which the hypothesis is ap- proved if sign p. It means that the probability of error in hypotheses is only 5. That is the method of this research. The explanations about the research design, data, data source, data collecting technique, research procedure, instruments, scor- ing criteria, data analysis, validity and reliability, and hypotheses testing were discussed in order to provide an answer to this research.

V. CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS

In this chapter, the researcher comes to the conclusions and suggestions of this research. In the conclusion, the researcher divides four points of view, while for suggestion the researcher gives five points of views.

5.1. Conclusion

Based on the finding of this research, the researcher concludes that there was a positive significant correlation between the students’ motivation and their writing ability. The coefficient correlation between the students’ motivation and their writing ability is 0.873. The data in this research showed that coefficient correlation is higher than r table 0.873 0.265 at significant level 0.01. It is classified into high correlation. The students who had motivation toward English writing affect their ability in writing to expand their idea, vocabulary, and also their willingness to keep on writing. Thus, motivation had positive relationship with the students’ability especially with their writing ability.
