THE EFFECT OF USING PICTURE GAMES ON STRUCTURE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SECOND YEAR STUDENTS OF SLTPN 11 JEMBER IN THE 2000/2001 ACADEMIC YEAR

Abstract

This research is intended to know whether there is a significant effect of using picture games in teaching structure on students' structure achievement Related to this problem, the research problem was formulated as follows: Is there any significant effect of using picture games on structure achievement of the second year students of SL TPN 11 Jember in the 2000/2001 academic year? Based on the research problem, the hypothesis was formulated as follows: There is a significant effect of using picture games on structure achievement of the second year students of SLTPN 11 Jember in the 2000/2001 academic year. In relation to this, the respondents were the class II-A and class II-D of SLTPN 11 Jember in the 2000/2001 academic year. They were selected by using cluster random sampling with lottery. The method used to get the primary data was an achievement test in the form of objective type. Interview and documentation were used to collect the secondary data The primary data were analyzed by using t-test formula with significant level of5%. Based on the result ofthe data analysis, it was found that the statistical value oft-test was 6.12, while critical value oft-test table with the degree of freedom 81 was 1,987. It means that the statistical value oft-test was higher than the critical value oft-test table. In short, alternative hypothesis was accepted So, it can be concluded that there is a significant effect of using picture games on structure achievement of the second year students of SLTPN 11 Jember in the 2000/2001 academic year. It means that the results show that the students who were taught structure by using picture games got better scores of structure than those who were not. They suggest that the use of picture games in teaching structure are effective to improve the students' structure achievement.
