ABSTRACT
Rismala, Tri. 2014. The Vocabulary Mastery of the Fifth Grade Students of SDN
Sambung Demak in Academic Year 2013/2014 taught by Using Skill
Circuits. Skripsi: English Education Department Teacher Training and
Education Faculty, Muria Kudus University. Advisor (1): Dra. Sri
Endang Kusmaryati, M.Pd., (2) Titis Sulistyowati, S.S, M.Pd.
Key words: Vocabulary, Skill Circuits
English is international language used as a communication among nations
in the world. In Indonesia, as the first foreign language, English is taught from
elementary school up to University or even starts from kindergarten. English has
important role in information progress in many areas; it is used for international
trade, education, tourism, and other important international affairs. Because those
reasons English becomes one of the materials in teaching and learning in
Indonesia. One of the important components of language is called vocabulary,
because without vocabulary people can not apply language well. According to the
English teacher of SDN Sambung Demak the vocabulary mastery of the students
is still unsatisfying because it is too difficult for the students to memorize the
word in English and its meaning. When the teacher teaches vocabulary, the
teacher gives a sentence and asks the students to find the meaning of each word
by using dictionary and then memorize the whole words. In this study, skill
circuits is chosen as a technique for teaching vocabulary. Skill circuits is a
competitive group activity in which learners work in groups of 3 or 4 and move
around the classroom so that it will be easier for the students to understand the
material that given by the teacher. The limitation of the material that use in this
research is professions and transportations that based on the syllabus.
The objective of this research is to find out whether or not there is a
significant difference between the Vocabulary Mastery of the Fifth Grade
Students of SDN Sambung Demak in Academic Year 2013/2014 before and after
being taught by Using Skill Circuit.
Design of this research is an experimental research. This research
conducted at SDN Sambung Demak. The subject of this research is the whole of
fifth grade students of SDN Sambung Demak in academic year 2013/2014. The
writer used test (pretest-posttest) with 20 multiple choice items as instrument of
the research.
ix
From the result of calculating of the pre test data, it can be known that the
result of the mean score of pre test is 67,06 and standard deviation is 13,7. The
writer also found the highest score is 85 and the lowest score is 30. It can be said
that the vocabulary mastery of the fifth grade students of SDN Sambung Demak
before being taught by using Skill Circuits is categorized fair. Meanwhile the
result of the mean score of post test is 80,83 and standard deviation is 13,1. The
writer also found the highest score of post test data is 100 and the lowest score is
55. Based on the result of mean score of post-test, it can be said that the
vocabulary mastery of the fifth grade students of SDN Sambung Demak after
being taught by using Skill Circuits is categorized good. Based on the result of
11.55 while tcalculating data of t-test, the writer found t-observation
table
2.042 with level of significant 0.05 and degree of freedom (df) 42.
Moreover the calculation of t-observation was higher than t-table in level of
significance 5%. It means there is a significance difference between the
vocabulary mastery of the fifth grade students of SDN Sambung Demak in
academic year 2013/2014 before and after being taught by using Skill Circuits.
Based on the result above, the writer suggested that the English teacher is
expected can use Skill Circuits as an alternative technique to teach vocabulary to
the students. The teachers are suggested to use Skill Circuits as one of technique
to stimulate the students’ learning spirit and interest in teaching learning process.

ABSTRAKSI
Rismala, Tri. 2014. Penguasaan Kosakata Para Siswa Kelas Lima SDN Sambung
Demak Tahun Ajaran 2013/2014 yang Diajar Menggunakan Teknik Skill
Circuits. Skripsi: Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas

Sulistyowati, S.S, M.Pd.
Kata Kunci: Kosakata, Skill Circuits
Bahasa Inggris adalah bahasa internasional yang digunakan sebagai
komunikasi anatar negara-negara di dunia. Di Indonesia, sebagai bahasa asing
pertama, Bahasa Inggris diajarkan dari sekolah dasar sampai perguruan tinggi atau
bahkan dimulai dari taman kanak-kanak. Bahasa Inggris mempunyai pengaruh
penting di kemajuan informasi diberbagai hal; Bahasa Inggris digunakan untuk
perdagangan internasional, pendidikan, pariwisata, dan hubungan internasional
yang penting lainnya. Karena alas an alas an tersebut Bahasa Inggris menjadi
salah satu materi dalam proses belajar mengajar di Indonesia. Salah satu
komponen penting dari bahasa adalah kosakata, karena tanpa kosakata orang idak
bisa menggunakan bahasa dengan baik. Menurut guru bahasa Inggris di SDN
Sambung Demak penguasaan kosakata siswa masih belum memuaskan karena
bahasa Inggris terlalu sulit bagi siswa untuk mengingat kata dalam bahasa Inggris
dan artinya. Ketika guru mengajarkan kosakata, guru memberikan kalimat dan
meminta siswa untuk mencari arti setiap kata menggunakan kamus kemudian
menghafal seluruh kata. Dalam pembahasan ini, skill circuits dipilih sebagai
teknik pembelajaran kosakata. Skill circuits adalah aktifitas kelompok yang
berkompetesi dimana siswa bekerja berkelompok terdiri dari 3 atau 4 siswa dan
bergerak di ruangan kelas sehingga itu akan memudahkan siswa untuk memahami
materi yang diberikan oleh guru. Batasan materi yang di gunakan dalam
pembahasan ini adalah profesi dan transportasi yang berdasarkan silabus.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ada atau tidak
perbedaan yang signifikan anatara pengetahuan kosakata para siswa kelas lima
SDN Sambung Demak tahun ajaran 2013/2014 sebelum dan sesudah diajar
menggunakan Skill Circuits.
Desain penelitian ini adalah sebuah penelitian eksperimen. Penelitian ini
dilaksanakan di SDN Sambung Demak. Subyek dari penelitian adalah seluruh
siswa kelas lima SDN Sambung Demak tahun ajaran 2013/2014. Penulis
xi
menggunakan tes(tes sebelum dan tes sesudah) dengan soal 20 pilihan ganda
sebagai instrument penelitian.
Dari hasil pengitungan dari data sebelum tes, dapat diketahui bahwa hasil
dari nilai rata-rata sebelum tes adalah 67,06 dan standar deviasi adalah 13,7.
penulis juga menemukan nilai tertinggi yaitu 85 dan nilai terendah adalah 30.
Dapat dikatakan bahwa penguasaan kosakata siswa kelas lima SDN Sambung
Demak sebelum diajar menggunakan Skill Circuits dikategorikan cukup.
Sedangkan hasil dari nilai rata-rata setelah tes adalah 80,83 dan deviasi standar
adalah 13,1. penulis juga menemukan nilai tertinggi yaitu 100 dan nilai terendah
55. Berdasarkan hasil nilai rata-rata setelah tes, dapat dikatakan bahwa
penguasaan kosakata siswa kelas lima SDN Sambung Demak setelah diajar
menggunakan Skill Circuits dikategorikan baik. Berdasarkan penghitungan data t11.55 sedangkan t-table
2.042
tes, penulis menemukan t-observasi
dengan tingkat signifikan 0.05. lebih dari itu penghitungan dari t-observasi lebih
tinggi daripada t-table dalam tingkat signifikan 5%. Ini bermakna bahwa ada
perbedaan yang signifikan antara pengetahuan kosakata siswa kelas lima SDN
Sambung Demak tahun ajaran 2013/2014 sebelum dan sesudah diajar
menggunakan Skill Circuits.
Berdasarkan dari data diatas, penulis menyarankan agar guru bahasa Inggris
dapat menggunakan skill Circuits sebagai teknik alterntif untuk mengajar
kosakata pada siswa. Guru disarankan menggunakan skill Circuits sebagai salah
satu teknik mengajar untuk merangsang semangat belajar siswa dan ketertarikan
dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar.
