Table 2.5 The result of Students’ Score in Cycle 1
Pre Test Post Test
Highest score 70
80 Lowest Score
15 40
Mean Score 36. 97
61. 71
From the table above, the result of the test on the cycle 1 was improve with the mean score of pre test 36, 97 to 57, 76 as the mean score of post test.
d. Reflecting
The writer and the teacher discussed about the conclusion of implementing the action. Then, they tried to modify the action in order students more
understanding in conditional sentence type 1 and in order 70 of students in the class could pass the KKM because in the result of posttest 1 showed only 52.63
of students who passed the KKM. However, regarding the first cycle, the writer and the teacher felt satisfied
enough because their efforts to improve students’ understanding of conditional sentence type 1 had been developed although not all the targets could not
accomplish yet. Beside of that, the students seemed to accept the material easily by using substitution drills.
From the reflecting phase above, there must be more efforts to improving students’ understanding of conditional sentence type 1 by using substitution drills.
It needed to be improved again in the next cycle because this case had not achieved target yet because there some students were below KKM. Actually in
this reflecting phase, they had reflected two categories that would be discussed, both are: students’ difficulty in determining the simple future tense or simple
present tense and the class condition during the teaching learning process. The first category concerned with the students’ difficulty in determining
the simple future tense or simple present tense. In this case the observer suggested
the teacher to give the explanation slower than before and give inductively explanation to the students. Next, related with the second category is the class
condition. The teacher still had difficulty in managing class. The observer suggested the teacher should give something that would focus them to the lesson,
for example games or puzzle. And she had also to pay more attention to the students who had lower result and made a noisy. Therefore based on the reflecting
above, this cycle must be continued in the next cycle, in order to improve students’ understanding of conditional sentence type 1well.
2. CYCLE 2
a. Planning
The planning phase of the second cycle was implemented into a lesson plan. In this case, the writer modified the previous lesson plan based on the
result of reflecting phase in the first cycle. The lesson plan which was used still related to conditional sentence type 1 by using substitution drills.
b. Acting
The action of the cycle two was done on June 03
rd
and 04
th
2010. After reviewing the previous lesson, before the students read the story that given by
the teacher, they were given some minutes to identify and to look up the difficult forms appeared in the sentences. And then, the students determined
the structures of the sentences by themselves.
c. Observing
In the second cycle, generally the class condition in learning process was better than the previous cycle. It could be seen from the students who were
ready to follow the lesson and when they followed the lesson, most of them were enthusiastic to answer some questions given by the teacher. Shortly, most
of students seemed quite active in the classroom and in doing exercises. In the second action of cycle two, the teacher was held on posttest 2 regarding
students’ understanding of conditional sentence type 1 by using substitution
