ABSTRACT

Viyana, Santi Noor. 2013. The Reading Comprehension of Descriptive text of the

Seventh Grade Students of SMP 2 Gebog Kudus in Academic Year

2013/2014 Taught by Using Student Team Achievement Division (STAD).

Skripsi. English Education Department, Teacher Training and Education

Faculty, Muria Kudus University. Advisors (i) Agung Dwi Nurcahyo,

S.Pd, M.Pd. (ii) Drs. Suprihadi, M.Pd.

Keywords: Reading Comprehension, Student Team Achievement Division

Reading comprehension is one of important skills in teaching and learning,

especially at the level of education. In fact, the English teacher stated that most of

the seventh grade students of SMP 2 Gebog Kudus still get difficulties in reading

comprehension especially descriptive text. It was found that the students get

difficulties in understanding the meaning of the English text. It is caused by their

lack of vocabulary so that they have a difficulty in understanding meaning word

by word. Most of the students also stated that reading is long and boring activity.

Considering that reasons, the writer want to apply Student Team Achievement

Division (STAD) as technique to improve students’ reading comprehension

especially descriptive text.

The objective of this research is to find out whether or not there is a

significance difference between the Reading Comprehension of Descriptive text

of the Seventh Grade Students of SMP 2 Gebog Kudus in Academic Year

2013/2014 before and after being taught by using Student Team Achievement

Division (STAD).

The population of this research was the seventh grade students of SMP 2

Gebog Kudus in academic year 2013/2014. The writer uses cluster random

sampling technique in taking the sample of the research. The writer gets VII A as

the sample of the research. There are 32 students. The design of this research was

experimental research. The writer uses one group pre-test and post-test.

The result of this research can be seen that the calculation of t-test, with

the level of significance 0.05, the degree of freedom (df) is 31, and t-table (tt)

2.04, the t-observation (to) 11.59. In the other words, t-observation falls in the

critical region. The reading comprehension of descriptive text of the seventh grade

students of SMP 2 Gebog Kudus after being taught by using Student Team

Achievement Division is “good”. It is showed by the mean is 80.68 and the

standard deviation is 8.79. It is higher than the mean of the reading

comprehension of descriptive text of the seventh grade students of SMP 2 Gebog

Kudus before being taught by using Student Team Achievement Division in

academic year 2013/2014 which the mean 69.75 and standard deviation is 7.90. It

is categorized as “sufficient”.

x

Based on this research result above, the writer concludes that STAD can

improve the reading comprehension of the students. Therefore, the English

teacher can apply STAD as effective technique in teaching process in order to

help the students improve their reading comprehension, especially for English

reading texts.

ABSTRAKSI

Viyana, Santi Noor. 2013. Pemahaman Membaca Teks Deskriptif Para Siswa

Kelas VII SMP 2 Gebog Kudus Tahun Ajaran 2013/2014 yang Diajar

dengan Menggunakan Student Team Achievement Division (STAD).

Skripsi. Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan

Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Muria Kudus. Dosen Pembimbing (i) Agung

Dwi Nurcahyo, S.Pd, M.Pd. (ii) Drs. Suprihadi, M.Pd.

Kata Kunci: Pemahaman Membaca, Student Team Achievement Division

Pemahaman membaca adalah salah satu keterampilan penting dalam

proses belajar mengajar, terutama di tingkat pendidikan. Bahkan, guru bahasa

Inggris menyatakan bahwa sebagian besar siswa kelas VII SMP 2 Gebog Kudus

masih mendapatkan kesulitan dalam pemahaman membaca khususnya teks

deskriptif. Ditemukan bahwa para siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam memahami

arti dari teks bahasa Inggris. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kurangnya kosakata sehingga

mereka memiliki kesulitan dalam memahami makna kata demi kata. Sebagian

besar siswa juga menyatakan bahwa membaca adalah aktivitas panjang dan

membosankan Menanggapi alasan-alasan tersebut, penulis ingin mengaplikasikan

Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) sebagai teknik untuk meningkatkan

pemahaman membaca siswa khususnya teks deskriptif.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan perbedaan yang signifikan

antara pemahaman membaca teks deskriptif para siswa kelas VII SMP 2 Gebog

Kudus tahun ajaran 2013/2014 sebelum dan sesudah diajarkan dengan

menggunakan Student Team Achievement Division (STAD).

Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas VII SMP 2 Gebog Kudus

tahun pelajaran 2013/2014. Penulis menggunakan teknik pengambilan sampel

secara acak dan kelompok. Penulis mendapatkan kelas VII A sebagai sampel

penelitian. Terdapat 32 siswa dalam kelas tersebut. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis

menggunakan penelitian eksperimen sebagai rancangan penelitian. Penulis

menggunakan satu kelompok untuk kelompok pre-test dan post-test.

Hasil dari penelitian tersebut menunjukkan bahwa perhitungan t-test pada

tingkat signifikan 0.05, Degree of Freedom (Df) adalah 31, dan t-table (tt) 2.04, t-

observation (t0) 11.97. Dengan kata lain, t-observation jatuh di daerah kritis.

Pemahaman membaca teks deskriptif siswa kelas VII SMP 2 Gebog Kudus

setelah diajarkan menggunakan STAD tahun pelajaran 2012/2013 adalah “baik”.

Hal tersebut dapat di tunjukkan dengan nilai rata-rata dengan rata-rata nilai 80.68

dan standard deviation dengan nilai 8.79. Nilai tersebut lebih tinggi dibandingkan

dengan rata-rata pemahaman membaca teks deskriptif siswa kelas VII SMP 2

Gebog Kudus sebelum diajarkan menggunakan STAD tahun pelajaran 2013/2014

dengan nilai rata-rata 69.75 dan nilai standard deviation adalah 7.90. Dengan nilai

tersebut dapat dikategorikan “cukup”.

xii

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian di atas, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa STAD

dapat meningkatkan pemahaman membaca para siswa. Sehingga para guru

Bahasa Inggris dapat mengaplikasikan STAD sebagai teknik pengajaran efektif

dalam proses pengajaran dengan tujuan untuk membantu para siswa untuk

meningkatkan pemahaman membaca mereka khususnya naskah bacaan berbahasa

Inggris.
