inductive technique. This technique is usually used in direct method found by Gouin. In this method, grammar is taught inductively. The writer take
inductive technique as the solution in learning grammar because it can motivate the students to participate in formulating grammatical rules.
The writer wants to make a quasi-experimental study which is related to teaching degrees of comparison by using inductive technique. Therefore, the
title of her skripsi is “The Effectiveness of Using Inductive Technique in Teaching Degrees of Comparison A Quasi Experimental Study at the Eighth
Grade Students of SMP IT Cordova South Tangerang”.
B. Identification of the Problem
Based on the explanation of background of the study, some problems identified are:
1. Students still make mistake in learning grammar. 2. Students still do not know how to compare something or someone in
English accurately. 3. Students do not know how to apply the rules into the grammar exercise
4. Students still get low score in English grammar, especially degrees of comparison part in writing skill.
C. Limitation of the Study
To avoid misunderstanding and to clarify the study, it is necessary to make the limitation of the study. The writer limits the study in learning degrees of
comparison in three types and it will be taught by using inductive technique at the eighth grade students of SMP IT Cordova South Tangerang.
D. Formulation of the Problem
The writer formulates the research problem “is using inductive technique effective in teaching degrees of comparison at the eighth grade students of
SMP IT Cordova?”
E. Purpose of the Study
The main purpose of the study is to find out whether the inductive technique is effective in teaching degrees of comparison at the eighth grade
students of SMP IT Cordova or not.
F. Significances of the Study
Some elements that will get the significances of the study are: 1. For the students, it assists them to solve their problem in understanding the
degrees of comparison and help them to improve their grammar knowledge. It also can ease them to compare something or someone in
English accurately. 2. For the teacher, it gives the alternative technique in teaching grammar
especially in degrees of comparison. This study will also help them increase students’ ability in grammar proficiency.
3. Further researchers For further researchers who are interested in teaching grammar at junior
high school level can get basic information from this study to do further research. Also, they can apply inductive technique for other English
material or teach degrees of comparison by using other teaching technique.
