As part of grammar, tenses are very important in learning English because
they become the basic knowledge in mastering the language skills. In English
teaching and learning process, the students are expected to understand the
materials given by the teacher. To reach this goal, the English teacher should find
the appropriate teaching media and interesting materials for the teaching learning
process in order to help the students understand the subject more easily. Then, the
researcher decided to use animated pictures in power point presentation as
teaching media to teach tenses.
This research was conducted to investigate the effect of using animated
pictures in power point presentation on the seventh grade students’ tense
achievement at SMP Negeri 2 Balung. The population of this research was all of
the seventh grade students of SMP Negeri 2 Balung. The research respondents
were determined by using lottery to all seventh grade classes sine the research
design was pretest-posttest nonequivalent group design. The number of the
respondents was 73 students, consisting of 36 students of grade VIIA as the
experimental group, and the control group consisted of 37 students of grade VII E.
the experimental group was given a treatment that was teaching tenses using
animated pictures in power point presentation, while the control group was taught
tenses using lecturing method. The first meeting was conducted on Saturday, May
5
th
2012 for the experimental group and Tuesday, May 1
viii
st
2012 for the control
group. Then, the second meeting was conducted at the same day on Monday, May
7
th
2012 for both the experimental group and the control group. The try out was
conducted to VII B class on April 28
th
2012 and May 14
th
2012, the result of the
try out for the pretest and posttest, there were 28 items and 26 items which had
difficulty index ranging from 0.31 up to 0.69 (70%) and 0.31 up to 0.69 (65%).
There were 6 items and 8 items which had difficulty index ranging from 0.22 up
to 0.28 (15%) and 0.19 up to 0.28 (20%). There were 6 items which had difficulty
index ranging from 0.72 up to 0.94 (15%) and 0.72 up to 0.92 (15%). Then for the
result of correlation coefficient of product moment for pretest was 0.77 and for
posttest was 0.81. They were considered reliable since the standard reliability
coefficient of teacher made test 0.70, as quoted from Sudijono (1998:209), so
the tests were reliable. Dealing with the time, the researcher found that the time
allocation for the try out was sufficient because the students were able to do all the
test items within the allocated time. About the test instruction, there was not
necessary to be revised because the instructions were clear enough. From the
clarification above, it could be concluded that the test items did not need to be
revised.
There are two kinds of data in this research, namely primary data and
supporting data. The primary data of this research were collected from the
students’ scores of tense test. The primary data were collected from the scores of
the pretest and posttest to compare the two different groups before and after the
treatment, and the result was analyzed by using Independent sample T-Test
(SPSS). And for the supporting data were collected from interview with the
English teacher and documentation from the school. Based on the calculation, the
result of this research showed that there was a significant effect of using animated
pictures in power point presentation on the seventh grade students’ tense
achievement. It was proved by the value of significant column of t-test table by
using SPSS software, and the result was 0.00 which was lower than 0.05
(significance level of 5%).This means that the null hypothesis (H
) which was
formulated: There is no significant effect of using animated pictures in power
point presentation on the seventh grade students’ tense achievement at SMP
Negeri 2 Balung” was rejected. Thus the alternative hypothesis: “There is a
significant effect of using animated pictures in power point presentation on the
seventh grade students’ tense achievement at SMP Negeri 2 Balung” was
accepted.
The research results proved that there was a significant effect of using
animated pictures in power point presentation on the seventh grade students’ tense
achievement at SMPN 2 Balung. Therefore, it is recommended to the English
teacher to also use animated pictures in power point presentation as an alternative
media in teaching tenses to improve the students’ tense achievement. | en_US |
