| dc.description.abstract | This classroom action research was intended to improve the VIII-G grade
students’ listening achievement by using Fable Animation Video at SMP Negeri 1
Jember. Based on the preliminary study, it was found that the students in VIII-G had
the most problem in listening as indicated by the lowest mean score of 59.5 among
the existing classes. The students in VIII-G had difficulties in understanding narrative
text. They had difficulties in comprehending language features, finding out the factual
or detail information and drawing the moral values from a given story. Therefore, the
researcher found out that the students had low motivation in learning listening skill,
so that it might affect their difficulty in understanding the lesson. The researcher
knew that the teacher rarely gave the students listening exercises. It was because of
the limited media such as audio, speaker, and projector in the school.
The data collection methods used were listening test and observation in the
form of checklist. The study was done in two cycles to check the consistency of the
research result. Each cycle covered two meetings of the action implementation and
one meeting for administering the test. Besides, the observational checklist consisted
of 4 indicators, namely 1) Listening and watching video, 2) Asking questions in
relation to the video, 3) Answering teacher’s questions in relation to the video, 4)
Doing the exercises based on the video. The students were categorized active students
if they fulfilled at least three or four indicators and the students were categorized
passive students if they only fulfilled two or one indicator.
The result of observation in Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 showed that the percentage
of the students` participation improved in the teaching and learning process of
listening comprehension from 77.9% in Cycle 1 into 91.15% in Cycle 2. Therefore,
the result of listening test in Cycle 1 showed that the percentage of the students who
got scores at least 75 was 76.47% (26 out of 34 students). Then, the result of listening
test in Cycle 2 showed that the percentage of the students who got scores at least 75
was 85.29% (29 out of 34 students). It means that there was improvement in the
Cycle 1 to the Cycle 2 in the term the percentage of the students who got scores ≥ 75.
Based on the result above, it can be concluded that the action in Cycle 1 and
Cycle 2 had achieved the criteria of success of the research. The result of Cycle 1 to
Cycle 2 showed an improvement as well as achieved the criteria of success. Finally, it
can be summarized that the implementation of Fable Animation Video could improve
the VIII-G grade the students` active participation and students’ listening
achievement. | en_US |
