  Education Department, Teacher Training and Education Faculty. Muria Kudus University. Advisor: (1) Dra. Sri Endang Kusmaryati, M.Pd. (2)

  Key words: Score of English National Examination, National Examination, English Achievement, Tenth Grade Students. The Score of National Examination is evaluation the students’ achievement that conducted by government using same test in the same time. National Examination is conducted to evaluate the English achievement for three years either in Junior High School or Senior High School. English achievement is result of an English evaluation in knowledge, skill, and attitude as the result of English learning showed by score. The tenth grade students are students who study at SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013.

  This research aims to know the correlation between the score of English National Examination and the English Achievement of the Tenth Grade Students of SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus in the Academic Year 2012/2013.

  This is a correlation research. The populations of the research are all of the tenth grade students of SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013.

  The sample that is taken by the researcher is 5% from each class. The instrument that used is the documentation of the students’ score of English National

  Examination in Junior High School and the students’ achievement of English in rapport (even semester) in Vocational School.

  The result of the research shows that: a) The National Examination of the tenth grade students of SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013 is sufficient (The mean is 71.48 by standard deviation 35.62). b) The English achievement of the tenth grade students of

  SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013 is very good (The mean is 85.24 by standard deviation

  

4.58). c) From the result of the correlation, it was found that r-calculated = -0.106

  and r-table = 0.413 in the level significance 5% from degree freedom (df) N-2 (23-2 = 21). In other word, r-table is higher than r-calculated (rt > rxy). Therefore, it can be said that the hypothesis of the research is rejected, while the null hypothesis is confirmed.

  Based on the result of the research above, the researcher suggests that the English teacher can motivate the students to increase their English achievement although they got either bad or good score of English National Examination. And for the students, they are supposed to study hard in all condition either in daily learning process or in National Examination.

  

ABSTRAKSI

  Riasha, Rina. 2014. Hubungan antara Skor Ujian Nasional Bahasa Inggris dan

Prestasi Bahasa Inggris dari Siswa Kelas Sepuluh SMK Ma’arif NU Kudus pada Tahun Akademik 2012/2013. Skripsi. Program Studi

  Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris. Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan. Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (1) Dra. Sri Endang Kusmaryati,

  Kata kunci: skor ujian nasional bahasa inggris, ujian nasional, prestasi bahasa Inggris , siswa kelas sepuluh. Skor Ujian Nasional adalah evaluasi hasil belajar yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah dengan menggunakan tes yang sama dalam waktu yang bersamaan. Ujian nasional dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi prestasi Bahasa Inggris selama tiga tahun, baik di SMP atau SMA. Prestasi Bahasa Inggris adalah hasil dari evaluasi Bahasa Inggris dalam pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan sikap sebagai hasil belajar bahasa Inggris yang ditunjukkan oleh skor. Para siswa kelas X adalah siswa yang belajar di SMK Ma'arif NU Kudus pada tahun akademik 2012/2013. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Hubungan antara Skor Ujian Nasional

Bahasa Inggris dan Prestasi Bahasa Inggris dari Siswa Kelas Sepuluh SMK Ma’arif NU Kudus pada Tahun Akademik 2012/2013

  Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian korelasi. Populasi penelitian ini adalah semua siswa kelas X SMK NU Ma'arif Kudus pada tahun akademik 2012/2013. Sampel yang diambil oleh peneliti adalah 5% dari masing-masing kelas. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah dokumentasi dari skor siswa dalam Ujian Nasional Bahasa Inggris di SMP dan prestasi bahasa inggris siswa pada rapport (semester genap) di SMK.

  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: a) Ujian Nasional siswa kelas X SMK NU Ma'arif Kudus pada tahun akademik 2012/2013 sudah cukup (rata-rata adalah

  

71,48 dengan standar deviasi 35,62) . b) Pencapaian Inggris siswa kelas X SMK

  NU Ma'arif Kudus pada tahun akademik 2012/2013 sangat baik (rata-rata adalah

  

85,24 dengan standar deviasi 4,58). c) Dari hasil korelasi, ditemukan bahwa r-

  perhitungan = -0,106 dan r-tabel = 0,413 pada tingkat signifikansi 5% dari kebebasan derajat (df) N - 2 (23-2 = 21). Dengan kata lain, r-tabel lebih tinggi dari r-perhitungan (rt > rxy). Oleh karena itu, dapat dikatakan bahwa hipotesis penelitiannya ditolak, sedangkan hipotesis nol dikonfirmasi .

  Berdasarkan hasil penelitian di atas, peneliti menunjukkan bahwa guru bahasa Inggris dapat memotivasi siswa untuk meningkatkan prestasi bahasa Inggris mereka meskipun mereka punya skor baik itu skor yang buruk ataupun skor yang baik dalam Ujian Nasional Bahasa Inggris. Dan bagi para siswa, mereka seharusnya belajar keras dalam semua kondisi baik dalam proses pembelajaran sehari-hari ataupun saat Ujian Nasional.
