4.1.3 The Difference of Students’ Vocabulary Achievement of those who Join English Course and those who never Join English Course
34
The proposing of the comparison the students’ vocabulary achievement in this section was in order to describe clearly the result of students’ vocabulary whether there is a difference achievement of those who Join English Course and those who never Join English Course in vocabulary achievement. For comparing students’ vocabulary achievement of those who Join English Course and those who never Join English Course, the writer focuses on the sum score, mean score, standard deviation, maximum score, and minimum score. The result process of computation data of these characteristics can be seen on the table bellow. Table 4.5 : Descriptive Statistics on Students’ Score on Pre test and Post test Descriptive Statistic Sum score Mean score Standard Deviation Maximum Score Minimum Score
Join English Course 164.9 7.5 0.68 8.7 6
Never Join English Course 111.1 6.2 0.69 7.1 4.4
Gain score 53.8 1.3 -0.01 1.6 1.6
The table 4.3 shows that there is a different score of students who Join English course and those who never Join English course in vocabulary achievement at the seven grade of SMPN 3 Tongauna. It can be seen that the sum score of students Join English course is 164.9 while the sum score of students never Join English course is 111.1, so the gain score is 53.8. The mean score of students Join English course is 7.5 and mean score for students never Join English course is 6.2, so the gain score is 1.3. The standard deviation of students Join English course is 0.68 and students never Join English course is 0.69, so the gain score is -0.01. The Maximum score of students Join English course is 8.7 and students never Join English course is 7.1, so the gain score is
34
1.6. The minimum score of students Join English course is 6 and minimum score for students never Join English course is 4.4, so the gain score is 1.6. Based on the finding of students’ score on descriptive analysis, the researcher can say that there is different of students’ score on vocabulary of those who Join English Course and those who never Join English Course at the seven grade of SMPN 3 Tongauna. 4.1.4 The Result of Hypothesis Testing The hypothesis testing is used to investigate whether there is a significant difference of students’ vocabulary achievement who join English course and those who do not at the seven grade of SMPN 3 Tongauna or not. The average score of students who join English course is 7.5 with the variance is 0.4665, while the average score of students who never join English course is 6.2 with variance is 0.4796 (on appendix 5). For testing the hypothesis, it was needed the values of students’ score as shown in table below: Table 4.6 Values of Students’ Vocabulary Achievement Values

Based on the computation of hypothesis testing, the researcher found the value of t-test is 0.970. It is consulted to the t-table at the significant level 0,05
34
34
with the degree of freedom (df) n1 + n2 or 22 + 18 - 2 = 38 found that t-table is 2.025 (interpolation). It can be said that, the score of t-test is smaller than t-table, 0.031 < 2.025. So, H1 is rejected and H0 is accepted. The result of the hypothesis testing can be seen on table 4.7 below. Table 4.7 Summary of Hypothesis Testing Df

Table above shows that the score of T-test is smaller than the score of Ttable in which T-test is 0,626. While T-table is 2.025, So it can be said that Ho is Accepted and H1 is Rejected, therefore, the writer concludes that there is a significant difference of students’ vocabulary achievement who join English course and those who do not at the seven grade of SMPN 3 Tongauna. 4.2 Discussion The aim of this research is to describe the students’ vocabulary achievements at the seven grade of SMPN 3 Tongauna who join English course and those who never join English course also to prove whether there is or not a significant difference. Before the writer elaborate more about the result of students’ achievement in vocabulary at the seven grade of SMPN 3 Tongauna, it is better to understand first what achievement is. Achievement in learning is something done through various efforts to undertake diligently in order to gain a certain result. Learning achievement is the indicator of modification level that has been reacted by students who undertake
34
the learning activities and directly knowledge authority, capability, skill and attitude that has been reached. Winkel (1984:17) says that achievement is a proof of successfulness of someone’s effort gained. Therefore, it can be concluded that learning process that resulted by the students will produce the changes in knowledge or understanding filed in skill, in the norm and attitude aspect. The existence of that change appears in learning achievement resulted by the students toward questions or assignment given by the teacher. Related with the description above, the writer proves the answer of research question of this study. First, the students’ score on vocabulary achievement who join English course found that the minimum score of is 6 and the maximum score is 8.9, the range is 1,6, deviation standard is 1,04, the meadian is 7.3, and the mean score is 7.3. Based on the classification that provided by Sudijono (1987:17), the range score 70 – 79 is on good criteria. So, the mean score 7.3 is categorized as good criteria. It is proved by the large frequency of students’ score is on high criteria or (54.5%). Therefore the writer can conclude that students’ vocabulary achievements at the seven grade of SMPN 3 Tongauna who join english course is categorized as good criteria. Second, the students’ score on vocabulary achievement who never join English course found that the minimum score of is 2.2 and the maximum score is 6.1, the range is 2.75, the deviation standard is 0.35, the median is 4.3, and the mean score is 4.3. Based on the classification that provided by Sudijono (1987:17), the range score 60 – 69 is on enough criteria. So, the mean score 6.2 is categorized as enough criteria. It is proved by the large frequency of students’
34
score is on enough criteria or (61.1%). Therefore the writer can conclude that students’ vocabulary achievements at the seven grade of SMPN 3 Tongauna who never join english course is categorized as enough criteria. Third, the result of findings answered positively the hypothesis of this study. It is proved by the average score of students who join English course is 7.3 with the variance is 1.0861, while the average score of students who never join English course is 4.3 with variance is 0.1196. Based on the computation of hypothesis testing, the researcher found the value of t-test is 0.626 It is consulted to the t-table at the significant level 0,05 with the degree of freedom (df) n1 + n2 or 22 + 18 - 2 = 38 found that t-table is 2.025 (interpolation). It can be said that, the score of t-test is smaller than t-table, 0.626 < 2.025. So, H1 is rejected and H0 is accepted.
