33 could look at the sentences in the previous activity and made the sentences which
were almost similar to the sentences in the main activity.
3. Observing in the First Cycle
To check the students’ progress in each cycle, the researcher conducted tests in every cycle. The tests were conducted before the implementation of the Student
Teams-Achievement Divisions STAD and after the implementation of Student Teams-Achievement Divisions STAD. The results of the pre-implementation
test see Appendix 13 in the first cycle showed that there were 12.90 of the students who did not pass the passing grade of the English subject which was 76.
There were 47.06 of the students in the class who filled the sentences correctly. 12.9 of the students made mistake in number one, 41.9 of the students made
mistake in number 2, 2.9 of the students made mistake in number 3, 2.9 of the students made mistake in number 4, and 2.9 of the students made mistake in
number 5. The researcher found that some students had the same score and mistakes as their friends. From this finding, the researcher knew that there were
some students who worked the pre-implementation test with their friends, so they had the same mistakes.
The result of the students’ post-implementation test in the first cycle showed
that all of the students passed the passing grade of the English subject. There were twenty-seven students who got ten and there were four students who got eight as
their scores see Appendix 13. There were some students who became more able to make the sentences from the words which were provided even though in
making those sentences, there were also some other students who only copied the
34 sentences from the sentences in the main activity. The students explained to the
researcher that they were able to make sentences from the words because they learnt the meaning from the previous activity.
From four students who got eight, three of them made mistake in the word “Attend” and one student made mistake in the word “Start”. All of those four
students made mistakes in understanding the meaning of those words. They did not know the meaning of those words. So their sentences were incorrect.
The results of the first cycle showed that most of the students got good scores and their tests scores showed that their scores also increased see Appendix 16.
However, some of the students did not want to cooperate with their friends in doing the task.
