| dc.description.abstract | The main data of this research were collected by using the reading
comprehension achievement test that was administered as the posttest. The
support data were collected from the interview and documentation. The data
collected from the posttest were to know the comparison between the two groups
after the treatment. They were analyzed statistically by using t-test formula to
know whether the mean difference between the experimental group and the
control group was significant or not.
Based on the calculation, the mean score of the experimental group was
higher than the mean score of the control group (86.5>74.2). The statistical value
of the test was 7.59, while the value of t-table at significance level of 5% with df
(71) was 1.994. It means that the statistical value of t-test was higher than that at
the t-table. Consequently, the null hypothesis (𝐻0) which was formulated as:
“There is no significant effect of using Jigsaw II Technique on reading
comprehension achievement of the eighth grade students at SMP N 9 Jember” was
rejected. Thus the alternate hypothesis: “There is a significant effect of using
Jigsaw II Technique on reading comprehension achievement of the eighth grade
students at SMP N 9 Jember” was accepted. So, it could be stated that the use of
Jigsaw II significantly affected the eighth grade students’ reading comprehension
achievement of descriptive text at SMP N 9 Jember. Therefore, it is suggested that
the result of this research can be used by the future researcher as a reference or
information in conducting future research dealing with the similar problem by
using another research design, such as a classroom action research on the use of
Jigsaw II to improve the students’ reading comprehension achievement. | en_US |
