60 CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

5.1 Conclusion

The first objective of this study is to prove that the use of method in this case is DRTA method, gives a significant contribution in increasing students’ ability in reading narrative text. The next objective is to find out whether there is a momentous difference of students’ achievement between students who were taught with DRTA method and the students who were taught with the conventional method. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the witer conducted an experiment. After conducting the experiment, the writer found the difference between the mean scores of groups, the experimental and the control group. The writer did three activities in the experiment. The first activity was pretest. The second activity was the treatments. The students were taught using DRTA as the method. The last activity was posttest. The posttest was given after the students got the treatment. In chapter IV, the writer has analyzed the data statistically. Based on the statistical analysis, we can see that the mean score of experimental group is higher than the mean score of control group. In order to know whether the difference between two means is significant or not, t-test was applied. t ‐table Scores

The critical value for test is 58, degrees of freedom are at 0.05 or 5, and level of significance is 2.000 based on the t-table above. The value of t-table with dk = 30 + 30 - 2 = 58, squared to 60 and a = 5 is 2,000. Because t value t table, which is 2,000 2,774. We can conclude that it is significant, the meaning there is a difference in post-test data in experimental group and control group. Since the t-value is higher than that in the table, the writer concluded that the difference between the groups was statistically significant. As the mean score of the experimental group is higher than that of the control group, it means that the students’ achievement of experimental group who were taught by using DRTA method is higher than that of the control group. Beside the analysis of the data, the writer has also analyzed the procedures provided in DRTA method. The procedures can help the students to comprehend for materials, ideas and supporting details for their story. The existence of DRTA method also supports the benefit of method as a new method in learning narrative text. Based on the explanation above, it means that stated that DRTA method is effective in helping teacher improve students’ skill in reading narrative text, is accepted because there is a significant difference between two means after being proved by t test and consequently. In other words, the writer could also conclude that DRTA method can help teachers improve students’ skill in reading narrative text as it is seen from the improvement of the students who were taught using the method. Their mean scores improved from 68, 56 to 75, 78 after joining the teaching learning process that used DRTA method.
