CHAPTERI

INTRODUCTION

A. The Background of the Study

Vocabulary is one of the important language aspects in learning

English.Having vocabulary, students are easier to understand teachers‟

explanation and also help them in learning four language skills namely

listening, speaking, reading and writing. Wilkins as cited in Scott Thornbury

states that “without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary

nothing can be conveyed”.1 This indicates that vocabulary has an important

role in communicates the ideas. Students who have enough vocabulary are able

to write and speak well.

Additionally, students need to learn academic words list in

understanding vocabulary. Scott Thornbury states “a recently published

academic word list consists of just 570 words families, covering a variety of

disciplines – arts, commerce, law and science – also includes such items as

analyse, concept, data and research”.2This is important because those academic

words can help students in learning huge number of vocabulary in the class. On

the other hand, “most researcher nowdays recommended a basic vocabulary of

at least 3.000 word families, while for more specialised needs, a working

vocabulary of over 5,000 word families is probably desirable”.3

Regarding the importance of vocabulary, students need to learn

vocabulary because vocabulary is the key to learning language and the most

important aspect in using language.Students who have sufficient vocabulary,

automatically can speak and build sentences well. According to Jack Richards

and Willy A. Renandya, “vocabulary is a core component of language profiency

2

and provides much of the basis how well learners speak, listen, read and write

well”.4

However, in term of teaching English many students are still confused to

use vocabulary in their writing. Many students could not choose and use the

suitable and correct vocabulary. Students did not understand when teacher used

English in the class so they asked the teacher to translate into Indonesia

language. Furthermore, teachers are seldom use mediaand teaching by repetition

makes the students feel bored. Those information is obtained when the writer

did Integrated Teaching Practice Profession-Praktek Profesi Keguruan Terpadu

(PPKT) program as English teacher in MTs. Muhammadiyah 1 Ciputat for four

months. Based on factors above, teachers need to provide students with various

techniques to increase students‟ vocabulary.

Dewi Nurhamida (2012) found that many students get the difficulty in

remembering new vocabulary and also they are not interested in learning

English. Then she used word wall as media in teaching vocabulary to improve

students‟ vocabulary mastery. After she used word wall in teaching vocabulary,

students‟ score were higher than before she used media. Additionally, Hari

Supriyatna (2014) found that technique in teaching vocabulary is less of

variation and tend to be monotonous. Then he used guessing game as media in

teaching vocabulary. The result of students‟ score who were taught by using

guessing game as media was higher. From some researchs above, it can be

suggested that the use of media in teaching vocabulary is effective, it

showedthat students‟ score in experimental class that use media is higher than

students‟ score in control class that without media.

Additionally, there are some techniques and media that can build the

interest of students in learning vocabulary. One kind of media that the writer

wants to apply in teaching vocabulary is crossword puzzle. By applying

4Jack C. Ricahrds and Willy A. Renandya, Methodology in Language Teaching: An

Anthology of Current Practice, (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002), p. 255

Page 15: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CROSSWORD PUZZLE IN LEARNING

3

crossword puzzle the writer hopes that it seems to be effective for students‟

vocabulary learning.5

“The crossword puzzle is a game that makes the teaching-learning

process attractive.”6 It means that the crossword puzzle will motivate the

students to solve the puzzle by making learning fun and relaxed. In this case

students more understandin learning vocabulary because they have to fulfill the

hidden words that teacher give by using crossword puzzle and make them

remember vocabulary easily in different way, that is rewriting them.The reasons

of using this game are because the learners can enjoy in learning of the target

language.7 It is because the students are involved in the learning process.

Moreover, the crossword puzzle can also help the students to gain their interest

in learning vocabulary by practice and repetition the sentence pattern. By this

technique, it helpis the students see or think that English is not a difficult subject

as they think.

There is one relevant previous research that supported the use of

crossword puzzle in vocabulary learning. Wiwat Orawiwatnakul (2013) has

done the research and showed the result that students‟ retention in memorizing

vocabulary they gained from the activity provided and also their vocabulary

improved.

Referring to some problems and advantages of crossword puzzle, the

writer would like to investigate whether or not the use of crossword puzzle in

teaching vocabulary is really effective.

B. The Identification of Problem

According to the background of the study above, there are several

problems that can be identified in this research:

1. Many students are still confused to use vocabulary in their writing.

2. Many students could not choose and use the suitable and correct

vocabulary.

3. In teaching and learning teachers are seldom use media.

4. Teaching by repetition makes the students feel bored.

C. The Formulation of Problem

Based on the statement above, the writer formulates the problem of the

research as followed: Is using crossword puzzle effective in teaching

vocabulary to the 7th

grade students of MTs Muhammadiyah 1 Ciputat?

D. The Limitation of the Problem

This study was conducted at the second semester 2015/2016of academic

year at 7th

grade students of MTsMuhammadiyah 1 Ciputat. This research did

not focus on teaching vocabulary in general but only focuses on teaching

vocabulary using crossword puzzle which is specifically taught to 7th

grade of

junior high school.

E. The Objective of the Research

The objective of this research is to get empirical evidence of whether or

not the using of crossword puzzle in teaching vocabulary to grade VII at MTs

Muhammadiyah1Ciputat is effective.

CHAPTER II

LITERATURE REVIEW

In this chapter, the writer tries to give clear description of literature review. The

sub sections are Vocabulary that consists of The Understanding of Vocabulary and

The Importance of Mastering Vocabulary for Students. This section will be followed

by Teaching Vocabulary which consists of What The Students Need to learn, Media

in Teaching Vocabulary,and Principles of Teaching Vocabulary. In the last sub is

Game that consists of The Purpose of Game,The Advantages of Game, The

Understanding of Crossword Puzzle, Teaching Vocabulary Using Crossword Puzzle

and The Advantages of Crossword Puzzle.

A. Vocabulary

1. The Understanding of Vocabulary

In learning new language, vocabulary is one of the important language

components that language learners need to learn. Language learners need a

great range of vocabulary to be able to understand the text written in English,

comprehend the message, and speak and write in English.

Several authors have interpreted the meaning of vocabulary in different

point of view. Penny Ur defines vocabulary as the words thatteacher teach in

foreign language. However, a new vocabulary may be more than one word

which is made up from two or three words that conveys a meaning. Besides,

there are multi-word idioms where the meaning of phrase cannot be concluded

from an analysis of component word.8 Additionally, Richards and Renandya

states that vocabulary is one of crucial part in language learning that will

8Penny Ur, A Course in Language Teaching; Practice and Theory, (Cambridge: Cambridge

University Press, 1991), p. 60.

Page 19: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CROSSWORD PUZZLE IN LEARNING

7

become a basis of how learners can speak, listen, read and write well.9

Meanwhile, according to Laurie Bauer vocabulary is about words where they

derive from, how they change in different categories, how they relate each

other and also how we use them to see the world.10

Furthermore, Hatch and

Brown that define vocabulary as a set of particular language or a list or set of

words that people can use.11

Based on the definition above, the writer can say that vocabulary is a set of

word that used to express the ideas and learn new subject.

2. The Importance of Mastering Vocabulary for Students

Vocabulary is important for student‟s understanding in four language

skills. Students who have enough vocabulary will find little difficulties in

using the language in written and oral form. The roles of vocabulary above

show that vocabulary is important for students because it will help them to

understand the task. In addition, there is a relationship between vocabulary

and understanding. If students know the meaning of words, the students will

be able to comprehend it. Wilkins as cited in Scott Thornbury state “without

grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be

conveyed.12

Additionally, as stated by David and Vallete in their book that vocabulary

is important part in all languages teaching, students must learns words as they

learn grammar and practice pronounciation.13

Furthermore, McCharty states

that vocabulary is the biggest component of any language course. No matter

how well students learn grammar and the sounds of language are mastered,

of Current Practice, (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002), p. 255. 10

English as a Second Language, (New York: Harcout Brave Javanovich, 1997), p. 149

8

without words to express a wide range of meanings, communication just

cannot happen in any meaningful way.14

It means that understanding a large

number of vocabulary will be helpful for language learner better than

understanding language structures and sound of language because by learning

vocabulary learners will be able to understand the language.

Moreover, as Kreshen points out that a large vocabulary is very crucial for

mastering a language.15

It means that vocabulary is the key to students for

understanding what they hear and read in the school; and then communicating

successfully with other people. As Wilkins emphasizes the importance of

vocabulary acquisition in learning language by stating that without grammar

students cannot make communication but without vocabulary it is impossible

to communicate with other people.16

From the explanation above, it showed that vocabulary is important for the

students in teaching learning process. If the students just have a little of

vocabulary, they will be unable to understand the question and the text of

English. In addition, if the learners have lack of vocabulary, they do not have

very much information or knowledge. Otherwise, if the students know and

understand vocabulary they will be able to communicate effectively and

understand the English text.

B. Teaching Vocabulary

1. What the Students need to Learn

In learning vocabulary many studentsare confused in using it. Therefore,

they can not choose and use the suitablevocabulary, write with wrong spelling

and grammar. However, according to Harmer there are four components that

students can learn17

:

a. Meaning

Student needs to know that vocabulary item may have more than one

meaning. Hence, they have to look at the context in which it is used.

This is very important in learning vocabulary because the meaning of

words commonly have relationship with other words. These

relationships make the learner commit some vocabulary and defining

the semantic area of word.18

b. Word Use

Students need to know that the use of word can change the meaning

based on how it is used. In other words, students also need to know

collocation. Collocation consists of pairs or group of word that co-

occur with high frequency.

c. Word Formation

Words can change their shape and their grammatical value. Students

need to know word formation and how to twist words to fit different

grammatical context.

d. Word Grammar

Words change according to their grammatical meaning, so the use of

some words can trigger the use of some grammatical pattern. The

Longman 1991), p. 156-158 18

Marianne Celce-Murcia. Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language.Third

Edition.(Boston: Heinle and Heinle Publisher), p. 292.

Page 22: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CROSSWORD PUZZLE IN LEARNING

10

grammar need to be taught because an item may have an unpredictable

change of form in grammatical context.

2. Media in Teaching Vocabulary

In the teaching vocabulary students are not only learning those words and

memorize them but also understanding the meaning of words. Hence, the use

of media is important because students can understand and recall previous

materials in the process of acquiring vocabulary.

Teacher can discover some techniques in teaching vocabulary, Pittman as

cited in Jack C. Richrads and Tehodore S. Rodgers states there are some ways

in demonstrating the meaning of new language such as using picture, realia,

action with gesture and also the real object.19

These are some activities in

learning vocabulary:

a. Realia

Presenting the real thing can be used in learning and teaching in the

classroom such as pen, ruler, book, and ball. The teachers hold the

things and say it loudly then get students to repeat it.

b. Pictures

Picture can be flashcards, wall pictures, charts, magazine picture and

any other non-technical visual. Teacher can use this to explain the

meaning of words such teachers draw or bring some pictures then

show to the students that students can illustrate the pictures such as

hat, house, door, etc.

c. Mime, Action and Gesture

Action will be better to explain by mime. This concept of this action is

easily presented such as running, walking, crying, etc.

d. Explanation

For the beginner the explanation will be difficult but it will become

easy by remembering the fact of these words. For instance, explain the

meaning of „mate‟ teachers have to point out that it is colloquial words

that used in informal context.

e. Translation

Translation is the easy way in teaching vocabulary to understand the

meaning.20

In choosing words for the students, teachers should know

some characteristic of words. Beck et al. as cited by Joanne Schudt

Caldwell points out three levels of words. The first level is including

basic words such as walk, mother and animal. The second level is

including high-frequency such as compromise, diligent, and fortunate.

And last is including specific content areas such as manometer,

organelles and capsid.21

Furthermore, Nagy as cited in Thomas B. Smith identified three

elements which are needed to an effective programs in teaching

vocabulary: integration, meaningful use and repetition22

. Integration

means that vocabulary lesson must be an integral, teachers should

teach vocabulary and tie into reading and writing lesson. Then,

meaningful use means teachers should give opportunities to the

students to practice what they have learned in meaningful ways. The

statement above is supported by R. Ellis and He as cited in Susan M.

Gass and Larry Selinker state that “when learners have opportunity to

use new word in a communicative context, those words are retained in

short and long term than when they are only input them on their

mind”.23

The last is repetition, it means that teachers have to recall

previous vocabulary in every ways in which students always remember

the vocabulary that they have learned. According to Brown one

important way of aiding memory is by associating what is to be

learned.24

This indicates when teachers teach new vocabulary they

need to associate vocabulary that they have learned before.

f. Crossword Puzzle

Crossword puzzle can be used in teaching and learning as other media.

Teacher may wish to highlight keywords of a short story or teachers

may also decide to provide students with key words of a short story in

crossword puzzle and students are required to provide the clues.25

3. Principles of Teaching Vocabulary

a. Concrete word

A general principle in the past has been to teach more concrete words.

The things which the words represent are there in front of the students

and thus easily explained.

b. Frequency

A general principle of vocabulary selection has been that of frequency.

Teachers can decide which words they should teach on the basis of

how frequently they are used by speaker of the language. The words

which are most commonly used are the ones they should teach first.

13

c. Coverage

Another principle that has been used in the selection of vocabulary is

that of coverage. A word is more useful if it covers things than if it

only has one very specific meaning.

d. Choice

In order to know which are the most frequent words students can read

or listen to a lot of English and list the words that are used, showing

which ones are used most often and which are used least often.26

C. Games

1. The Purpose of Games

Game is an activity which is entertaining and engaging, often challenging

and also in which learners play and interact with others.27

This activity is a

way to help students not only enjoy and entertain with the language they learn

but practice it incidentally. Game has some purposes:

a. Physical activity: to release physical and nervous tension and to

promote mental alertness by breaking the routine of drills.

b. Enjoyment: to create a climate of fun and interest that will help the

students look forward to their English lesson.

c. Cultural content: to use game as a way of repealing general pattern of

culture that should add to the student‟s grasp of the waysof English

speaking people.

d. Laguage learning: to serve as an adjunct to the tehnique of teaching

grammar and sound system of the new language.28

14

From the purpose of game above crossword puzzle can be applied in

physical activity such students can write the correct word from the clues

in the board. The use of crossword puzzle is to create the class alive and

also teacher can use this media to teach sound system of new language.

2. The Advantages of Games

Andrew Wright points out some advantages of games in his book.

a. Games help and encourage many learners to support their interest and

work.

b. Games also help the teacher create contexts in which the language is

useful and meaningful. Students want to take part, and in order to do

so must understand what others are saying or have written, and they

must speak or write in order to express their own point of view or give

information.

c. Many games make language items more conventional.

d. By making language convey information and opinion, games working

of language as living communication.

e. Games can provide intense and meaningful practice of language.29

Additionally, according to Lee Su Kim there are many advantages of using

games in the classroom.

a. Games are a welcome break from the usual routine of the language

class.

b. They are motivating and challenging.

c. Learning a language requires a great deal of effor. Games help students

to make and sustain the effort of learning.

d. Games provide language practice in the various skills such as

speaking, writing, listening and reading.

29

Op.cit., 2006, p. 2

Page 27: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CROSSWORD PUZZLE IN LEARNING

15

e. They encourage students to interact and communicate.

f. They create a meaningful context for language use.30

3. The Understanding of Crossword Puzzle

The first puzzle was created by Arthur Wynnefrom Liverpool appeared in

the shape of a diamond without any "black" squares and were called "word-

cross. Whynne called the cross word puzzle because he had positioned the

words in the form of a cross (which also resembles a diamond). It had the

word “fun” written in it because it appeared in the “fun” page. In addition

according to Augarde (1984) in Molica, cross word puzzle

usually consist of chequered diagrams (normally rectangular) in

which the solver has to write words guessed from clues. The words

are separated by black squares or by thick bars between squares. [. . .]

Crosswords are now usually designed so that they look the same when

they are turned upside down. But many early crosswords lacked this

kind of pattern or were designed symmetrically, so that the left side as

the mirror-image of the right side.31

Moreover, Bressan points out that cross word puzzle is a attractive game.

Student not only do the crossword puzzle offer challenge to solve the puzzle

but also they can practice and repeat the sentences pattern and vocabulary.32

It

can be concluded that cross word puzzle is a game that student need to fill the

hidden word horizontally (across) and vertically (down). Students have to

supply an appropriate accurate answer that single space corresponds to each

16

letter of the correct response and other components of the puzzle depend on

correct response in the coinciding slots.

4. Teaching Vocabulary Using Crossword Puzzle

There are three-step processes to this type of puzzle. First, students have to

use the appropriate vocabulary item. For facilitated students, teachers use

symbolic rather than translation such as object (noun), activity (verb) and

description (adjective). Second, student writes the appropriate lexical item in

underlined space that corresponds to the number of letters in actual word,

hence the student selects among synonym for the form in the puzzle. Third

stage requires the student to locate the words in appropiate spaces.33

The various preceduree are possible as Lee define:

1. Teaher gives the same crossword puzzle for each student. They solve

individually with the help of written clues.

2. Teaher devides the class into group. Then the teacher gives a different

crossword for each group. Everyone in the group helps to solve it.

however, if there is a more active member in one group, they tend to do

all the work. in otherwise, if there is a more passive member in one

group, they will difficult to do all the work.

3. Teachers gives crossword puzzle for all of students. They do the

crossword puzzle individually. Then the teacher divides the class into

groups and then they work in group. The students can share their

answer to finish their crossword puzzle in their group.

4. The teacher writes crossword puzzle on the board, but no written clues.

The teacher gives clues orally and solve the crossword step by stepwith

the class. the class is divided into groups and each group come to the

board and writes the words in one by one.34

5. The Advantages of Cross Word Puzzle

Cross word puzzle is one of many instructional game that comprehend

word-level into grid and make the class fun with puzzle clues and the object of

cross word puzzle is to find the hidden list word based on clues.35

Teaching

vocabulary through cross word puzzle may draw on other problem-solving

activities in order to reinforce previous lexical items or it may deal with an

entirely new lexical. In learning vocabulary through cross word puzzle is an

effective and interesting way that can be applied in EFL classroom.

Wahyuningsihin Marin C. Njoroge et.al.mentions some advantages using

cross word puzzle as follow:

Help students to gain interest and reduce boredom

Cross word puzzle give students opportunity to practice and repeat the

sentence pattern and vocabulary

Students feel relax and enjoy in participating in the learning activity

and they memorize the vocabulary in different way

Cross word puzzle can be given at point of time during the lesson.36

Thomas P. Carter stated that in the learning vocabulary using cross word

puzzle students are excited to work on them, cross word can be use as EFL

activity whether the methodology approach is cognitive, behavior and they

can be adapted in large or small class.37

6. Previous Related Study

The researcher has found two relevant studies which related to this

research. First is “The Use of Crossword Puzzle to Improve Vocabulary

Mastery (Classroom Action Research on the First Grade Students of SMP N)

” written by Zunita Widyasari. The purpose of this research is to find out

whether there is improvement of the students‟ achievement in vocabulary

using crossword puzzle. This is shown by the students‟ enthusism in doing

crossword puzzle and most of students better understand what the teacher

taught in cycle II than in cycle I. Moreover, the students‟ achievement of

vocabulary has improved by using crossword puzzle in their test. Furthermore,

the result of t-test calculation cycle I is 5,97 and in cycle II is 6,33.38

Second, the research by the title “The Effectiveness of Word Find Puzzle to

Teach Common Noun for Fifth Grade of Elementary School” written by

Ainatus Sholikhah. The aim of this research is to find the effectiveness of

word find puzzle between the students‟ who were taught by using word find

puzzle and the students‟ who were not taught using word find puzzle on

common noun, especially in SDN 03 Pekalongan. The result of the research

shows that the experimental classhas the mean value pretest was 54.60 and

post-test was 74.00. while the control class has the mean value pre-test was

52.0and post-test was 59.40.39

The study that the present researcher is doing now different from the

previous studies above. The method that is used in this study is an

experimental study to know whether or not using crossword puzzle is

effective while the method that is used in previous study is classroom action

research. Besides, this study did not focused on vocabulary mastery in general

but rather focuses on vocabulary that researcher taught in first grade of junior

high school.

7. Theoretical Framework

Based on students need in learning vocabulary there are four points such as

meaning, word use, word formation and word grammar. The use crossword

puzzle is important because crossword puzzle can be applied in word use,

meaning, word formation and also word grammar. In the case of meaning, the

use of crossword puzzle will ease for students know the meaning of word

based on text because when students know the correct word they will

automatically know the meaning correctly. Students know how to use a word

based on how it is used because when they fulfill the hidden word they read

the clues so they know the use of word. In students‟ writing, students will be

able to correct sentences because students regularly read the clues and write

vocabulary to answer the puzzle so they know how to twist words to fit

different grammatical context. Furthermore, students can change word based

on grammatical meaning because crossword puzzle as media can help students

to learn to know the changing of word on grammatical by read short story as

the clues.

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

A. Research Design

The objective of this research is to get empirical evidence of whether or not the

use of crossword puzzle in teaching vocabulary to grade VII at MTs

Muhammadiyah1Ciputat is effective. This research used quantitative method. It is

called quantitative method because it is related to the calculation and analysis of

numerical data. The researcher used quasi-experimental research design to identify

the effectiveness of using crossword puzzle as media in the teaching vocabulary.

Here, the researcher gave pre-test and post-test in two classes; experimental and

controlled class. Pre-test was used to get the beginning score from the experimental

and controlled class before treatment. Post-test was used to measure the score after

treatment. Then the result was compared after and before the treatment to get the

effectiveness of crossword puzzle as media.

There was a different treatment between experimental and controlled class. In

experimental class, the researcher gave a treatment by using crossword puzzle as

media for training students in learning vocabulary, whereas the students in controlled

class were taught without using crossword puzzle.

B. Place and Time of the Research

This study will be held in MTs. Muhammadiyah 1 Ciputat which is located at Jl.

Dewi Sartika Gg. Nangka No. 4 Cimanggis, Tangerang Selatan. The writer will begin

her research from3 Juneto 18 June 2016 where the writer focused at 1st year of

students MTs. Muhammadiyah 1 Ciputat.This research was held in six meetings each

class; pre-test, treatment in four times, and post-test.

Page 33: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CROSSWORD PUZZLE IN LEARNING

21

C. The Population and Sampling Technique of the Research

1. Research Population

The population in this research is from all first year of students in MTs.

Muhammadiyah 1 Ciputat, there are three classes: VII-1, VII-2, and VII-

3. The amount of the students of seventh grade in this school is 96

students.

2. Sampling Technique

In this study,the researcher usedPurposive Sampling. The researcher took

the sample from the judgment that was representative of the population or

includes subjects with needed characteristics. In this study, the researcher

took the sample by interviewing the English teacher in order to know

which classes that have the same ability in English lesson, had same

facilities, on the same level and also give the pre-test for all classes to

know the class that had same score. Two classes that had choosen become

controlled and experimental class. Finally, the samples of this research

were; class VII-1 as the experimental class and VII-2 as the controlled

class.

D. Instrument of the Study

The instrument consists of 35 multiple choices given for experimental and

controlled class. Meanwhile, the instrument made based on syllabus and took

from English text book.

E. Technique of Collecting Data

To collect the data, the researcher used a multiple choicetest as the primary

instrument. There are two types of tests; pretest and posttest. The pre-test was

given in experimental and controlled class to know how far the students‟

vocabulary understanding before receiving treatment. The post-test was given to

Page 34: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CROSSWORD PUZZLE IN LEARNING

22

know their vocabulary understanding after the treatment. Before the researcher

given the pre-test, the reseacher analyzed the instrument to know whether the

instrument used in this study is valid and reliable before being used to collect

data.

F. Technique of Analyzing Data

1. Validity

Validity is one of important requirements of evaluation to know whether

the test is valid. A test is said to be valid if it measure accurately what it is

intended to measure.Before administering the pre-test, the writer will

analyzed the validity and reliability of pre-test in order to find out

whether the test is valid or good to be used. The writer will use software

ANATEST version 4.0.9 developed by Drs. Karno To, M.Pd. and Yudi

Wibisono, ST.

The criterion of validity:

rxx = 0,91 – 1,00 = very high

rxx = 0,71 – 0,90 = high

rxx = 0,41 – 0,70 = enough

rxx = 0,21 – 0,40 = low

rxx = < 0,21 = very low

2. Reliability

Realibity is whether an instrument can measure something to be measured

constantly. To know the reliability of the instrument used to collect data,

the writer used “ANATEST” software version version 4.0.9 developed by

Drs. Karno To, M.Pd. and Yudi Wibisono, ST.

.

23

3. Discriminating Power

The discriminating power of a test item is the ability of test item to

discriminate between students with high and low achievement. The

formula used to analyze discriminating power:

D =

= P A– P B

Explanation:

J = The total number of students who take the test

JA = The total number of students in the upper group

JB = The total number of students in the lower group

BA= The total number of in the upper group who got the item right

BB = The total number of students in the lower group who got the item right

PA = The porpotion of students in the upper group who got the item right

PB = The porpotion of students in the lower group who got the item right

The clasification of the discriminating power

D : 0.00 – 0.20 :Poor

D : 0.21 – 0.40 :Satisfactory

D : 0.41 – 0.70 :Good

D : 0.71 – 0.100 :Exellent

D : negatif :Discarded

4. Item Difficult

Item diffiuculty is to identify whether a test is categorized into difficult or

easy in a test. The formula used to find out the difficulty index as follow:

Page 36: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CROSSWORD PUZZLE IN LEARNING

24

P =

Explanation:

P: Item Difficulty

B: The number of students who got the item right

JS: The total number of students who tried the item

Classification of difficulty index:

0.00 – 0.19 = very difficult

0.20 – 0.39 = difficult

0.40 – 0.59 = moderate

0.60 – 0.79 = easy

0.80 – 1.00 = very easy

In analyzing the data, the researcher usedttest formula through SPSS (Special

Package of the Social Sciences) version 22 software. The t-test is one of a number

of hypothesis tests. Before calculated t-test, the researcher did normality and

homogeneity tests first.

5. Normality Test

Before the researcher calculated the value of t-test, the researcher had to

analyze the normality and homogeneity of the data. He examinition of

normality was needed to know whether the data has been normally

distributed. The researcher used SPSS to tets the normality. In SPSS,

there are two kind of normality test:

Kolmogrov Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk.

The criterion of SPSS:

a. If respondents ≥ 50, the normality test uses Kolmograv Smirnov.

b. If respondents ≤ 50, the normality uses Shapiro Wilk.

The criterion of hypethesis is:

Page 37: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CROSSWORD PUZZLE IN LEARNING

25

H0 : Significant Score > 0,05

H1 : Significant Score < 0,05

6. Homogeneity Test

The next step was calculating the homogeneity of data. The purpose of

this calculation was to see whether the data / sample in both classes were

homogenous or heterogeneous.

7. T-Test

After getting the data from pre-test and post-testfrom experimental and

controlled class, the researcher needs to find out the differences score

using crossword puzzle as media. Here, the two classes are compared to

the independent variable, the experimental class is X variable and the

controlled class is Y variable. The researcher used statistical calculation

of the t-testformula. It is used to know whether sudents improve their

score or not.40

The formulas as follows:

Where:

Mx = Mean of experimental group (Variable X)

My = Mean of control group (Variable Y)

SEMx = Standard error of mean Variable X

SEMy = Standard error of mean Variable Y

40

Budi Susetyo, Statistika Untuk Analisis Data Penelitian, (Bandung: Refrika Aditama,

Bandung, 2010), p. 203

Page 38: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CROSSWORD PUZZLE IN LEARNING

26

To get the result, the calculation goes to several processes as follows:

1. Determining Mean of Variable X:

2. Determining Mean of Variable Y:

3. Determining Standard of Deviation Score of Variable X:

4. Determining Standard of Deviation Score of Variable Y:

5. Determining Standard Error of Mean of Variable X:

6. Determining Standard Error of Mean of Variable Y:

7. Determining Standard Error of Difference of Mean of Variable X and Y:

8. Determining t0

t0 =

Page 39: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CROSSWORD PUZZLE IN LEARNING

27

9. The last procedure is determining df(degree of freedom) with formula:

( )

H. Stastistical Hypotheses

The statistical hypothesis of this study can be seen as:

Null Hypothesis (Ho) : There is no significance difference after

crossword puzzle strategy is used on students‟

vocabulary understanding in the 7th grade

students of MTs. Muhammadiyah 1 Ciputat.

Alternative Hypothesis(Ha) : There is a significance difference after

crossword puzzle strategy is used on students‟

understanding in the 7th grade of MTs.

Muhammadiyah 1 Ciputat.

And then, the criteria used as follows:

1. If t-test (to) > t-table (tt) in significant degree of 0,05, Ho (null hypothesis) is

rejected. It means that the ratesof mean score of the experimental group are

higher than the controlled group. The using of crossword puzzle is effective

towards students‟ vocabulary understanding.

2. If t-test (to) < t-table (tt) in significant degree of 0,05, Ho (the null hypothesis)

is accepted. It means that the rates of the means score of the experimental

group are same as or lower than the controlled group. The using of crossword

puzzle is not effective towards students‟ vocabulary undersatnding

6. Homogeneity Test

Based on the calculation of normality, the writer got the result that all

data in pre-test and post-test of both experiment class and controlled class

have been normality distributed. The next step of the claculation was

finding the homogeneity of tha data. The purpose of this claculation was

to see whether the data / sample in both classes homogenous or

heterogeneous.

Hypotheses:

Page 49: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CROSSWORD PUZZLE IN LEARNING

37

H0: The condition of experiment class is not different from controlled

class

H1: The sample of experiment class is differentfrom controlled class.

Based on the criteria, it can be concluded that H0is accepted. It means

that the sample in experiment class and controlled clss were homogenous.

Moreover, the writer also used SPSS to calculated the homogeneity of the

data. The result that the writer got can be seen on the table below:

The table above described the result calculation of the gained score of

the experimental class (X) and the controlled class (Y). Based on the table

above, it can be concluded that the total score of the experimantal class (X) is

679 and the controlled class (Y) is 428.

From the table aove, the writer calculated them based on the steps of t-

test formula, as follows:

1. Determining Mean of Variable X

The value of df 62 at the degree of significance 5% or ttableis 1.670. It

means Ha is accepted because T0 (2.13) is higher than ttable(1.999).

8. The Testing of Hypotheses

The statistical hypotheses of this research can be seen as:

Ho : There is no significant difference between students‟

vocabulary using crossword puzzle and without crossword

puzzle.

Ha : There is significant difference between students‟ vocabulary

using crossword puzzle and without crossword puzzle.

And then the criteria used as follows:

Page 53: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CROSSWORD PUZZLE IN LEARNING

41

1. If t-test (to) > t-table (tt) in significant degree of 0.05, Ho (null

hypothesis) is rejected.

2. If t-test (to) < t-table (tt) in significant degree of 0.05, Ho (null

hypothesis) is accepted.

In addition, the writer found To is 2.13 while t tableis 1.999. After

comparing between To and t tablethe writer found To is higher than t

table. Therefore, it can be concluded that Ho is rejected. It means there is

significance score gain between students‟ vocabulary using crossword

puzzle and without crossword puzzle.

D. Interpretation of the Data and Discussion

In the description of the data which was taken from 32 students of

experimental class, the writer could explain briefly about the data got from the

students before they were analyzed. The description of the experimental class

has the mean of pre-test 58.71 before using crossword puzzle. It means the

mean score is bad because it is lower than the standard minimum (KKM).

After giving 4 times treatments for experimental class using crossword

puzzle, the writer got the mean of post-test 74.56. So, the writer got the mean

of the gain score 21.03. It is good because the mean score has reached KKM.

The smallest score in the pre-test was 50 and the highest score was 76. The

data showed in the post-test that the smallest score was 70 and the highest

score was 94. It can be summarized that the lowest and the highest scores in

post-test were higher than pre-test.

Meanwhile, from the description of score in controlled class which

was the writer got the mean of pre-test 61.40. It means the mean score is bad.

In this class, the writer did not use crossword puzzle, but the writer only asked

the students to memorize the vocabulary. After giving 4 times treatment

without crossword puzzle, the writer got the mean of post-test 71.25. it is bad

because the mean score is still lower than KKM. The writer got the mean of

Page 54: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CROSSWORD PUZZLE IN LEARNING

42

gain score was 15.09. it means that the gain score of experimental class was

higher than controlled class. The smallest score in the pre-test was 51 and the

highest score was 78. The data showed in post-test that smallest score was 54

and the highest score was 94, it can be summarized that the lowest and the

highest were also higher than pre-test.

Before testing the hypothesis, the writer analyzed the normality and

homogeneity of the data, the purpose of analyzing the normality was to see

whether the data got in the research has been normally distributed or not. The

result of normality can be seen by comparing the value of significant score to

0.05. Meanwhile, the purpose of analyzing the homogeneity was to see

whether the data / sample in both experimental and controlled class were

homogenous or heterogonous.

In analyzing the normality, the result showed that both the data of pre-

test and post-test in controlled class were distributed normally. According to

criteria of the test, it can be seen in the result that the significant score of pre-

test (0.311) and post-test (0.207) of experimental class was higher than 0.05

(0.311 and 0.207 > 0.05). Both the data of pre-test and post-test in

experimental class also showed that they were distributed normally.

According to criteria of the test, it can be seen in the result that the significant

score (pre-test and post-test) > 0.05 (0.560 and 0.356 > 0.05). It means that all

the data in both pre-test and post-test of experimental and control class were

distributed normally. The next result that the writer got was from the

calculation of homogeneity, the result showed that (0.720 > 0.05). Based on

the criteria, it can be concluded that H0is accepted. It means that the sample in

experiment class and controlled class were homogenous.

The final calculation was testing the hypothesis. This was the main

calculation to answer the problem of this research that whether there is

significant difference between students‟ vocabulary using crossword puzzle

and without crossword puzzle. The writer used T-test formula in the

Page 55: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CROSSWORD PUZZLE IN LEARNING

43

significance degree ( ) 0f 5%. The result showed that t-test (to) > t-table (2.13

> 1.999). It means that t-test was higher than t-table. So, the null hypothesis

(Ho) is rejected. It means that alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted that

there is significant difference between students‟ vocabulary using crossword

puzzle and without crossword puzzle.

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

This chapter presents the conclusion and the suggestion. In this

chapter, the researcher would like to give some conclusions that may relate to

the subject.

A. Conclusion

Many games and media that become tool for teaching and learning

activity effective such as cards, word wall, etc. One of games is crossword

puzzle that the writer expected effective for teaching and learning activity. So,

the writer did the research using crossword puzzle in teaching vocabulary in

MTs. Muhammadiyah 1 Ciputat. Based on the anylisis result of this research,

showed that the result of T-test formula to test the hypothesis of this research

in the significance degree ( ) of 5% is t-test (t0) > t-table (tt) (2.13 >1.999).

Therefore, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha)

is accepted.

Besides, it can be seen from the comparison between the gained score

average of experimental class and the gained score average of controlled class

on the table of the students‟ gained score, the gained score average in

experimental class (21.22) is higher than the gained score average in control

class (13.38). it means that crossword puzzle is effective in improving

students‟ vocabulary. Therefore, it can be concluded that the answer of

research question was proven that there is effectiveness of crosswrod puzzle

on students‟ vocabulary at first of Islamic Junior High School

Muhammadiyah Ciputat in academic year 2015/2016.

B. Suggestion

After the writer carried out the research, she woudl like to offer some

suggesttion that may relate to the research findings and discussion. The result

of this research showed that crossword puzzle is effective to be applied in

vocabulary teaching and learning. There are some points that the writer might

suggest:

a. For English Teacher

English teacher shosuld be creative in developing the teaching learning

activities and strategies in classroom to make the class alive and the students

do not ge bored. Besides, English teachers should encourage the studen ts to

be active to participate in class learning activities si that the students will get

more efective vocabulary learning and easier to undersatnd the new

vocabulary taught. English teachers also should motivate the students that

learning English especially vocabulary is such an easy and interesting to learn.

The use of instructional media should be encouraged.

b. For Students

Students should always be active in the process of teaching and learning and

not afraid or lazy in the English lesson, so the students should develop their

motivation. Esides, the students should give more attention and keep their

atitude when the teacher explained he lesson and teach them. The students

also should study hard to reduce their difficulties in learning English.

c. For the Next Researcher

Researcher should develop the study using the media or strategies in

vocabulary understanding to make the students interested and understand the

material easily. For example: using card, song, picture and crossword puzzle.
