ABSTRACT
Muniroh, Riza Zauhatul. 2012. The Achievement of Speaking Recount Text of
SMP N 1 Kudus Students in the Academic Year 2012/2013: A Comparative Study

between Cooperative and Competitive Learning. Skripsi. English Education
Department, Teacher Training and Education Faculty, Muria Kudus University.
Advisors: (i) Dr. A. Hilal Madjdi, M. Pd., (ii) Diah Kurniati, S. Pd., M. Pd.
Key words: cooperative learning, competitive learning, speaking recount text
achievement, eighth grade students of SMP N 1 Kudus
Experts mention that there are three patterns of human interaction:
competitive, cooperative, and individualistic. In the education world, cooperation
and competition also become models of students‟ learning. Cooperative learning
is seen as an effective way that gives positive effects to the students learning. this,
our national education curriculum is designed to such cooperative learning. Viceversa, competitive learning is argued to cause many negative effects to it.
However, the researcher finds that the condition of Indonesian school today tends
to keep applying competition. This gap leads the researcher initiate this study. On
the other hand, speaking is judged as the most demanded skill in mastering
English. Good speaking is not just the matter of producing oral language
continuously. However, genre-based speaking is important to produce systematic,
chronologic, and thematic speech. Hence, those can be found in recount as one
form of genres that becomes the learning material for junior high school students.
This research comparing cooperative and competitive learning on its effect
to the students‟ academic achievement is aimed to answer a question whether
there is or not a significant difference of speaking recount text achievement of the

eighth grade students of SMP N 1 Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013 between
structured in cooperative and competitive learning. In this quantitative
experimental research, the researcher applies the two learning models to two
homogenous groups of students as the treatment. The data are gotten from
students‟ score of the speaking test using picture-cued story telling procedure
administered to both groups.
The data analysis shows that the cooperative class performs better result
than the competitive class with the mean score of the experimental group, 80,7
and the standard deviation is 5,16. Otherwise, the mean score of the control group
is 74,8 and the standard deviation is 7,1. The t-test calculation finds that tobservation (t0) is 3,58 while the t-table (tt) on the degree of freedom (df) 54 and
the level of significant 0,05 is 2,000.
Finally, by confirming the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and denying the null
hypothesis (H0), the researcher concludes that there is a significant difference of
speaking recount text achievement of the eighth grade students of SMP N 1 Kudus
in the academic year 2012/2013 between structured in cooperative and
competitive learning. Referring to this result, the researcher suggests, the English
teachers had better apply cooperative learning to enhance the students‟ academic
achievements since it gives them various benefits academically and socially.

ABSTRAKSI
Muniroh, Riza Zauhatul. 2012. Prestasi dalam Berbicara ‘Recount Text’ Siswa
Kelas VIII SMP N 1 Kudus Tahun Ajaran 2012/2013: Sebuah Penelitian
Komparatif antara Pembelajaran Kerjasama dan Persaingan. Skripsi. Jurusan
Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas keguruan dan ilmu pendidikan, universitas
muria kudus. pembimbing: (i) Dr. A. Hilal Madjdi, M. Pd., (ii) Diah Kurniati, S.
Pd., M. Pd.
Key words: pembelajaran kerjasama, pembelajaran persaingan, berbicara „recount
text‟, siswa kelas VIII SMP N 1 Kudus
Para ahli menyebutkan, ada tiga pola interaksi manusia: persaingan,
kerjasama, dan individu. Dalam dunia pendidikan, kerjasama dan persaingan juga
menjadi model pembelajaran bagi siswa. Pembelajaran kerjasama dipandang
sebagai cara yang efektif yang memberikan banyak efek positif pada
pembelajaran siswa. Dalam hal ini, kurikulum pendidikan nasional kita didesain
menyerupai pembelajaran kooperatif. Sebaliknya, pembelajaran persaingan
dipandang menyebabkan banyak efek negatif. Akan tetapi, penulis menemukan
kenyataan bahwa sekolah di Indonesia sekarang ini masih menerapkan system
persaingan. Kesenjangan tersebut menuntun penulis menginisiasi riset ini. Di sisi
lain, berbicara dianggap sebagai keterampilan yang paling penting dalam
menguasai Bahasa Inggris. Berbicara yang baik bukan hanya soal memproduksi
bahasa lisan secara lancar. Akan tetapi, berbicara berbasis jenis text adalah
penting untuk menghasilkan bahasa lisan yang sistematis, kronoligis, dan tematis.
Ini dapat ditemukan dalam teks recount sebagai salah satu bentuk jenis teks yang
menjadi materi pembelajaran bagi siswa SMP.
Penelitian yang membandingkan pembelajaran kerjasama dan persaingan
dalam hal efeknya terhadap prestasi akademik siswa ini bertujuan untuk
menjawab pertanyaan apakah ada perbedaan yang signifikan dalam prestasi
berbicara teks recount siswa kelas VIII SMP N 1 Kudus tahun ajaran 2012/2013
antara diajar menggunakan pembelajaran kerjasama dan persaingan. Dalam
penelitian eksperimen quantitatif ini, peneliti menerapkan kedua model
pembelajaran tersebut pada dua kelompok siswa yang homogen sebagai
perlakuan. Data penelitian diperoleh dari hasil test berbicara siswa menggunakan
prosedur bercerita dengan petunjuk gambar yang diterapkan pada kedua kelompok
di atas setelah menyelesaikan enam kali pertemuan pemberian perlakuan.
Analisis data menunjukkan bahwa kelompok eksperimen menampilkan
hasil yang lebih baik dari pada kelompok control dengan nilai rata-tara kelompok
eksperimen 80,7 dan simpangan baku 5,16. Sedangkan, skor rata-rata kelompok
control 74,8 dan simpangan baku 7,1. Penghitungan t-tes menemukan bahwa tobservasi (t0) 3,58 sedangkan t-tabel (tt) pada derajad kebebasan (df) 54 dan level
ketepatan 0,05 adalah 2,000.
Akhirnya, dengan menerima hipotesis alternatif (Ha) dan menolak
hipotesis null (H0) peneliti menyimpulkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan
dari prestasi berbicara teks recount siswa kelas VIII SMP N 1 Kudus tahun ajaran

x

2012/2013 antara diajar menggunakan pembelajaran kerjasama dan persaingan.
Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, penulis menyarankan agar guru Bahasa Inggris
menerapkan pembelajaran kooperatif untuk meningkatkan prestasi akademik
siswa karena model pembelajaran ini memeberikan berbagai macam manfaat pada
pembelajaran siswa baik secara akademis maupun sosial.
