Conceptual Thinking Hypothesis LITERATURE REVIEW

3. Distributing a pilot test to the students out of experimental and controlled groups. 4. Administering pre-test to both the experimental and controlled groups to investigate initial abilities between two groups. 5. Organizing lesson plans in teaching recount text using scanning technique. The experimental group was given treatments by using scanning technique then the control group was taught by using conventional method. 6. Administering post-test to both the control and experimental groups in order to reveal the result of treatment. 7. Conducting questionnaire toward the experimental group in order to gather further information about students’ responses toward the treatments given.

F. The Research Procedure

1. Lesson Planning

Lesson Planning is made by adapting the applied Lesson Planning which is used in the school. It is also based on the syllabus of KTSP. Lesson planning used for class experiment was designed by including the treatment of research, scanning technique in teaching recount text, while the class control used conventional method.

2. Validity and Reliability of the Test

Validity and reliability of the test is applied after conducting pilot study. Pilot Test is held by the writer outside the two classes, experimental and controlled groups. The class of pilot test is eighth grade of junior high school in another school. It was conducted to check whether the test measures what is intended to be measured. Anates for multiple choices application is used to measure the validity and reliability of the data. The anates result used to revise and deleted some less appropriate questions see anates result on appendix7 for further detailed. The researcher make 40 multiple choices in conducting pilot test. After she knows the result, there were 10 inappropriate questions. So, the researcher used 30 tests in conducting pretest and postest. Moreover, the researcher used scoring guide based on KKM Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal as suggested by English teacher at MTs Al Inaayah Bogor.

3. Administering Pre-Test

As mentioned before, the pre-test is administered by using written test. Both the experimental and controlled groups were asked to answer multiple choice questions based on the recount text given. There upon, it would be assessed by the teacher of the English subject from that school. The scoring technique is conducted by calculating s tudents’ achievement in the score.

4. Conducting the Treatment

After performing pre-test, the next step was given treatment for experimental group. The treatment was conducted through scanning technique to observe student s’ ability and score in answering multiple choice test in recount text. The design of the lesson plan based on the standard comptetence and the basic syllabus of the school which was developed by the teacher. Control group was still taught by using conventional technique.

5. Administering Post-Test

Equal to pre-test, post-test was held after the treatment to the experimental group. The score of post-test would be used as a final comparison to dete rmine any difference between students’ achievement in experimental group and controlled group.

G. Techniques of Data Analysis

1. Scoring Technique

To acquire valid score that defines students’ ability in the test, it needs clear criteria to assess their work. To qualify this need, the writer will calculating the score of the students in the test. Basically, the method is the same for multiple choice and short-answer items test, it is bay counting the
