ABSTRACT
YAYAH NUR ROHAYATI. S891202064. 2014. The Effectiveness of Group

Investigation to Teach Speaking Viewed from Students’ Self-Esteem (An
Experimental Research at the Eleventh Grade students of IPA of SMA Negeri 2
Wonogiri in the Academic Year of 2012/2013). First Consultant: Dra. Dewi
Rochsantiningsih, M.Ed, Ph.D. Second Consultant: Dr. Sumardi, M.Hum. Thesis:
English Education Department, Graduate School, Sebelas Maret University,
Surakarta, 2014.
This research intends at establishing whether: (1) Group Investigation is more
effective than Guided Speaking to teach speaaking skill; (2) the students having high
self-esteem have better speaking skill than those having low self-esteem; and (3)
there is an interaction between teaching technique and students’ self-esteem in
teaching speaking skill to the eleventh grade students of IPA of SMA Negeri 2
Wonogiri in the academic year of 2012/2013.
The research method which was applied in this research was experimental study.
The population of this research was the eleventh grade students of IPA of SMA
Negeri 2 Wonogiri in the academic year of 2012/2013 which consists of 196 students.
The sample of the research was two classes; the class XI IPA 6 was used as the
experimental class and class XI IPA 1 as the control class. The sampling technique
used was cluster random sampling. Each class was divided into two groups (the
students having high and low self-esteem). The techniques of collecting data were
self-esteem questionnaire that is for collecting data of students’ self-esteem and

speaking test for collecting the data of students’ speaking skill. The data were
analyzed by implementing Multifactor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test of 2x2.
The result of data analysis presents: (1) Group Investigation does not differ
significantly from Guided Speaking to teach speaking because Fo < Ft and qo
(between A1 and A2) < qt; (2) students having high self-esteem differ significantly
from those having low self-esteem because Fo > Ft and qo (between B1 and B2) >
qt; and (3) there is no interaction between teaching techniques and students’ selfesteem in teaching speaking because Fo < Ft.
The result of findings reveal that Group Investigation technique is not an effective
technique to teach speaking. The research also shows that the effect of teaching
techniques did not depend on the students’ self-esteem. Therefore, teachers must
select the appropriate teaching technique that is relevant to the condition of the
students and the class.
Keywords: Group Investigation, speaking skill, self-esteem, experimental study
