ABSTRACT

Ade Novea Retty. K2213001. THE EFFECTIVENESS OF USING

INDUCTIVE METHOD IN TEACHING ENGLISH GRAMMAR (AN

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AT THE EIGHTH GRADE OF SMP NEGERI

16 SURAKARTA IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2017/2018).Thesis,

Surakarta: Teacher Training and Education Faculty of Sebelas Maret University.

December 2017.

The aims of this research are to investigate: (1) whether there is a

significant difference in grammar mastery achievement between the students

taught using Inductive Method and those taught using Deductive Method of the

eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 16 Surakara; (2) whether Inductive Method

is more effective than Deductive Method to teach grammar.

The method used in this study is an experimental study (comparative

study). This research was conducted inOctober until November 2017 in the eighth

grade of SMP Negeri 16 Surakarta in the academic year of 2017/2018. The

researcher took the sample by using cluster random sampling. The students are

divided into two groups, which are VIII-A which belongs to the experimental

group and VIII-B which belongs to the control group. The research instrument

used to collect the data in this study is a test. The data were analyzed by using t-

test formula.

The computation of the data shows that: (1) the t-observation (to) is

2.284,referred to the t-table (54. 0,05) = 2.004, the researcher finds that to is higher

than tt. It is concluded that there is a significant difference on grammar

achievement between experimental group and control group; (2) the mean score of

the group of students who are taught using Inductive Method is 56.57, while the

mean score of the group of students who are taught using Deductive Method is

47.64. It means that teaching English grammar using Inductive Method is more

effective than using Deductive Method especially for the eighth grade students of

SMP Negeri 16 Surakarta in the academic year of 2017/2018. Therefore, it is

recommended that: (1) the teachers apply Inductive Method in teaching English

grammar; (2) the future research may conduct the same kind of research with

different stages.

Keywords: grammar mastery, simple past tense, inductive method, deductive

ABSTRAK

Ade Noea Retty. K2213001. KEEFEKTIFITASAN PENGGUNAAN

METODE INDUKTIF DALAM PEMBELAJARAN ENGLISH GRAMMAR

(PENELITIAN EKSPERIMEN PADA KELAS DELAPAN SMP NEGERI

16 SURAKARTA TAHUN AJARAN 2017/2018).Skripsi, Surakarta: Fakultas

Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan Universitas Sebelas Maret. Desember 2017.

Tujuan dari penelian ini adalah untuk meneliti: (1) apakah ada

perbedaan yang siknifikan pada pencapaian penguasaan grammar antara siswa

yang diajar menggunakan Metode Induktif dan siswa yang diajar menggunakan

Metode Deduktif pada kelas delapan SMP Negeri 16 Surakarta; (2) apakah

Metode Induktif lebih efektif dibandingkan dengan Metode Deduktif untuk

mengajar grammar.

Metode yang digunakan di penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen

(penelitian komparatif). Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada Oktober sampai

November 2017 di kelas delapan SMP Negeri 16 Surakarta tahun ajaran

2017/2018. Peneliti mengambil sampel menggunakan cluster random sampling.

Siswa dibagi menjadi dua kelopok yaitu kelas VIII-A yang merupakan kelompok

eksperimen dan kelas VIII-B yang merupakan kelompok kontrol. Instrumen

penelitian yang digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data pada penelitian ini adalah

tes. Data dianalisis menggunakan rumus t-test.

Perhitungan komputer dari data menunjukkan bahwa: (1) t-observation

(to) adalah 2,284, merujuk ke t-table(54. 0,05) = 2,004, peneliti menemukan bahwa to

lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan tt. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan

yang siknifikan pada nilai grammar antara kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok

kontrol; (2) nilai rata – rata dari kelompok siswa yang diajar menggunakan

Metode Induktif adalah 56,57, sedangkan nilai rata – rata dari kelompok siswa

yang diajar menggunakan Metode Deduktif adalah 47,64. Dapat diartikan bahwa

pembelajaran English grammar menggunakan Metode Induktif lebih efektif

dibandingkan dengan Metode Deduktif khususnya untuk siswa kelas delapan

SMP Negeri 16 Surakarta tahun ajaran 2017/2018. Oleh karena itu, disarankan

bahwa: (1) guru mengaplikasikan Metode Induktif pada pembelajaran English

grammar; (2) penelitian kedepan bisa melakukan penelitian yang sama dengan

langkah yang berbeda.

Kata kunci: penguasaan grammar, simple past tense, metode induktif, metode

deduktif
