INTRODUCTION


 


In this study, researchers focused on aspects of vocabulary mastery. Vocabulary is defined as a set of all the words understood by the person or all the words that the person is likely to use to construct new sentences. Vocabulary is an important component in language learning. Vocabulary is the most important ingredient and needs to be understood and understood in order to be used properly and correctly.


The teacher can create an adequate learning environment or environment so students can find real experiences and be directly involved with tools and media. According to Trianto, (2007), the role of the teacher is very important to create a learning situation. Meanwhile, according to Atik Sustiwi, (2008), in an effort to influence the development of children to actualize all the potential possessed in order to function optimally against several factors that must be considered in order to achieve the expected results.


Elanneri Karani, (2011) argues that there are three main functions of the media or teaching aids namely capturing the attractiveness of children's English learning, clarifying concepts, and reinforcing explanations especially about abstract concepts. So that students more easily understand learning with the help of these learning media.


By using the concept of Jumbled Words, the researcher will carry out the CAR in SD Negeri II Widang Tuban. The author's strong reason for choosing this school is because this school is an accredited school B. The strength of this school is supported by adequate facilities and infrastructure to support the teaching and learning process.


In an effort to improve students' abilities in learning English vocabulary, an effective, interesting and enjoyable medium for students is needed. To overcome this, by using Jumbled Words learning media, it is expected that with Jumbled Words media, these students can be more skilled in increasing vocabulary so that the problem of low student learning outcomes can be overcome.


 


RESEARCH METHODS


 



  1. Research Type


 


This research is a classroom action research. The types of actions studied are as follows: 1). Application of Jumbled Words Media to vocabulary material. 2). The activeness of students during the learning process.


According to Suharsimi Arikunto, (2009), this study uses an action research model from Kemmis and Taggart, which is spiral from one cycle to the next. Each cycle includes planning, action, observation, and reflection. The next step in the cycle is a revised planning, action, observation, and reflection. Before entering the first cycle, a preliminary action is taken in the form of identifying the problem


The spiral cycle of the stages of classroom action research can be seen in the following figure:


 


Research is planned by implementing class action research which includes components:


 



  1. Planning


 


Arranging the action plan, in this stage the researcher explains about what, why, when, where, by whom, and how the action will be carried out. The ideal action research is actually done in pairs between the party doing the action and the party watching the process.


 



  1. Implementation


 


Action Implementation, this stage is the implementation or application of the contents of the design, which is wearing action in class.


 



  1. Observations


 


Namely observational activities carried out by observers. In this stage, the implementing teacher records little by little what happens in order to obtain accurate data for improvement of the next cycle.


 



  1. Reflection


 


Is an activity to restate what has been done. In this stage the teacher tries to find things that are already satisfying because they are in accordance with the design and carefully recognize things that still need to be fixed.



  1. Research Settings and Research Subjects


The research settings include: Research location, research time, and The Classroom Action Research cycle as follows:



  1. Place of Research

In planning the research activities include: a). Preparatory implementation of The classroom action research. b). Participant preparation: 1). Give a simulation to the teacher about the implementation. 2). Consolidating with teachers about the procedures for conducting research and Job description: a). Development of research instruments and scenarios, b). Prepare teaching aids used in research c). Develop an action plan


The action that will be given is in the form of the use of the media of Jumbled Words, and the areas of development that are expected to increase are Affective, cognitive and psychomotor aspects, among which aspects include processing learning outcomes.


 



  1. Research Implementation


 


In accordance with the type of research chosen, namely classroom action research, this study uses a research model from Kemmis and Tagart, which is spiral shaped from one cycle to the next cycle. This research is carried out through two cycles, each cycle consisting of the following activities:


 



  • Cycle I


 



  1. Planning


 


In the planning phase of the first cycle begins with joint reflection and analysis between researchers and colleagues on student learning outcomes, identifying problems, analyzing problems and finding alternative solutions to problems. From the above results the researchers did things as follows:


1). Arrange lesson cycle I focused on planning corrective steps or action scenarios that are expected to improve student ability in learning. In this learning improvement plan the researchers used the media of Jumbled Words


2). Prepare teaching materials, student worksheet I and Jumbled Words media that will be used by students in the learning process


3). Prepare data collection instruments, namely: a). Observation sheet activities of students and teachers during the assignment, b). Final learning test sheet


4). Planning aspects observed and assessed from the implementation of learning improvement, namely preparation, material clarity, organizing, training and guidance, closing.


5). Plan success criteria for learning improvement. In this study learning success is determined if 85% of students achieve mastery learning with a minimum value of 75.


 



  1. Implementation


 


In the implementation phase of the first cycle the researcher is assisted by the teacher (collaborator) implementing the learning scenario as planned in the RPP as follows: 1). Regards. 2). Prayers together. 3). Attendance 4). The teacher explores the initial knowledge of students about the material that will take place. 5). The teacher gives questions about the lesson that will take place. 6). Students sing a song called Tourims Places together. 7). Students form 4 groups. 8. Each group of students is given time to read the teaching material for the Exciting Place Chapter. 9). Students close the book and collect on the teacher's desk. 10). Students work on worksheet  1. 11.) Each group of students mentioned food and beverage using Jumbled Words. 12). The fastest and correct student is the winner. 13). The teacher concludes about material that has already taken place. 14). Students listen to the motivation of the teacher to study hard. 15). Prayers together. 16). Closing.


 



  1. Observation


 


At this stage the researcher together with colleagues carries out the data collection process and learning outcomes, for further processing, analysis, and interpretation. The research instruments used were:


 


 


 


1). Final evaluation evaluation test


 


This instrument is used to determine student learning outcomes as a benchmark for measuring student ability and student learning completeness in mastering the material. This instrument was made by researchers and then consulted with colleagues concerned. Evaluation tests are used to obtain data on student learning outcomes after the learning process. This test is done at the end of learning.


 


2). Observation sheet when learning


 


This instrument is used to measure the ability of teachers to manage learning. And used to determine student activities in the learning process.

  1. Data

  2. Data Sources


 


Sources of data in this Classroom Action Research are:


 



  1. Student


 


To get data about student understanding during the process of teaching and learning activities


 


 



  1. Teacher


 


To see the level of successful implementation of Jumbled Words media and student achievement in the learning process


 



  1. Peers / collaborators


 


According to Suharsini Arikunto, (2009), peers / collaborators are intended as a source of data to see the implementation of Class Room Action Research  in a comprehensive way, both in terms of students and teachers.


 


 



  1. Data Collection Techniques


Data collection techniques in this study were made as much as possible in order to get data that is truly valid, the researchers conducted data collection in the following ways:


 

1) Observation


 


Is a process of direct observation or sensing of conditions, situations, processes, and behaviors while the learning process is taking place.


Observation is used to collect data about student activities in the Teaching and Learning Process and the application of Jumbled Words media that are carried out by teachers and researchers. The things observed include: a). Teacher activities in the learning process by using the media Jumbled Words. b). Student activities during learning using Jumbled Words media.


There are two observation sheets that are used namely, Affective and psychomotor observation sheets. This observation sheet is filled in when the KBM process is taking place.


 


2) Observation sheets (Affective and Psychomotor Assessment) in groups


 


Observations on the activities of students in groups are carried out to provide affective assessments to students in groups. These observations are carried out when students learn in groups. In learning activities there are two things that are observed include affective and psychomotor assessments. Aspects observed to be given an affective assessment of student activities in small groups include: a). Activity in groups, b). Enthusiastic, c). Compactness, d). Discipline, e). Creativity. While the psychomotor assessment of students is, cohesiveness in discussing the material in each group.


3) Test of learning outcomes


 


Retrieval of data by means of learning achievement tests that requires answers to student achievement when applied Jumbled Words media. In using tests, researchers use instruments in the form of a set of test questions. Written tests can be divided into two, namely: a). Pre test. Pre test is done before students do learning using the media Jumbled Words Pre test aims to find out students' understanding and initial knowledge about the material to be delivered. b). Post test. Post tests were given after students did learning using Jumbled Words media, aimed at knowing students' understanding and knowledge about the material that was delivered. In carrying out this written test the researcher uses an evaluation carried out at the end of the learning using the Post Test.


 


4) Documentation


 


The document is a written report about an event whose contents consist of an explanation and thought of the event. Documents consist of books, letters, official documents, photographs. In this study the documentation method is used to collect data available at school institutions as supporting data.


In this study the data obtained does not mean anything because the data is still raw data. For this reason, it is necessary to analyze data so that the results can be interpreted in accordance with the formulation of the problem. In this study the interpretation of the criterion reference score or test is used.


 



  1. Data Analysis


 


Data analysis is a method used in processing data that is closely related to the formulation of the problem that has been proposed so that it can be used to draw conclusions. The data obtained will be processed and analyzed qualitatively, namely:


 



  1. Qualitative data. Suharsini Arikunto, (2009) argues that data in the form of information in the form of sentences that provide a picture of reality or facts in accordance with the data obtained with the aim of knowing the learning outcomes achieved by students as well as knowing students' responses to student activities and activities during the learning process takes place.


 


 


To analyze the level of success or the percentage of students' mastery learning after the teaching and learning process takes place at each cycle, carried out by giving an evaluation in the form of written test questions at each end of the cycle. This analysis is calculated using simple statistics as follows:


 



  1. Task Assessment and Tests


 


Researchers add up the value obtained by students then divided by the number of students in the class so that the average value is obtained. This average value is obtained using the formula:


 


X = Σ X





 


 
 




         Σ N


Keterangan :  X= Average value


                      Σ X = The sum of all student grades


                      Σ N = Total students


 



  1. For mastery learning


 


There are two categories of mastery learning, individually and classically. According to Sudjana, (1988), based on the instructions for implementing teaching and learning, researchers assume that the media of Jumbled Words is said to be successful in increasing student achievement in the ability to understand vocabulary lessons if students are able to do the type of vocabulary and fulfill learning achievement of 85% or with grades minimum of 70. To calculate the percentage of learning achievement used the following formula:


 


P = f    X 100%
       N

 


P = Percentage to be searched for


f = The sum of all answers obtained


N = The number of observation items multiplied by the appropriate score


 


The results of the research that have been obtained are classified into the form of scoring students' grades by using the criteria for the assessment standards of SD Negeri II Widang as follows:


 


90 – 100 : Very Good


70 – 89   : Good


50 – 69   : Good Enough


0 – 49     : Not good


 



  1. Performance Indicators


 


Performance Indicator is a criterion used to see the level of success of Classroom Action Research activities in increasing or improving PBM in class. Suharsini Arikunto, (2009) believes that performance indicators must be realistic and measurable (clearly how to measure them).


Looking at the background of the problem and to improve vocabulary skills, the following indicators are used:


 


1. Students
 
a. Tests: Average test scores of students (pre-test and post-test).
b. Observation: The activeness of students in the learning process
 
2. Teacher
 
a Documentation: Student presence
b. Observation: Observation results

 



  1. Research Team and Its Tasks


 


This class action research uses a form of collaboration. In this case the collaborator (the teacher in question) is an English subject teacher namely Ms. Ani Rahmawati ’S.Pd. In addition to being a collaborator, the teacher also acts as an observatory together with researchers in the implementation of learning in the classroom. They are fully responsible for this class action research. Researchers and collaborators are fully involved in planning, acting, observing, and reflecting on each cycle.


This class action research was carried out in two cycles that were considered capable of fulfilling the desired results and overcoming the existing problems.


 


RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION


 


The results of this study are described in stages in the form of cycles of learning carried out in the teaching and learning process in class. In this study learning is carried out in two cycles, as described below:


 



  1. Cycle I Research Results

  2. Planning cycle I


 


The implementation of the first cycle was carried out in class I of SD Negeri II Widang which consisted of 33 students on wednesday, september 4, 2006, the first and second study hours with an allocation of 2 hours (2 x 35 minutes).


 


Cycle I is an English learning process with the subject of the food and beverage by using Jumbled Words media.


At this stage the researcher prepares a learning kit consisting of RPP, LK to I, Jumbled Words media, Teacher and student observation sheets, research instruments, and supporting teaching tools.


 



  1. Implementation and Observation of cycle I


 


The learning process in the first cycle is carried out in accordance with the learning plan that has been made. The learning activities carried out were initiated by the teacher by inviting students to sing the days song to dilute the student's learning atmosphere, so that before the students did the learning they did not have a tense feeling but remained happy. Students were very excited to sing the days song that the researchers deliberately gave because in the song there were vocabularies related to thier daily activites.


The teacher conditions students to be ready to take part in teaching and learning activities, because when teaching and learning activities will take place there are still some students who are busy. Then, to measure students' abilities, the teacher conducts questions and answers about the food and beverage material.


There were only a few students who dared to answer aloud, while others did not answer because they were shy, not brave and lacked confidence and some were playing paper and stories about soap operas with their peers.


At the time of core learning, the teacher explains the material using Jumbled Words media. And give assignments to students to arrange related words about the food and beverage in groups. The teacher forms groups of students with different levels of vocabulary. From the number of class I students there were 33 students divided into 4 groups, each of which consisted of 4 students and 1 group consisted of 9 students consisting of men and women, who had diverse academic abilities. In addition, the teacher also provides instructions to be conducted by students in learning vocabulary using the media of Jumbled Words.


These guidelines include what students will do in groups, that is, each student must discuss and work together in groups to solve the problems contained in the worksheet and for members of the group who are capable or smarter are expected to help members who are less able. After the work is finished, the group leader is asked to present the results of the group discussion. The teacher also informs of the test at the end of the meeting and the appreciation for the group and students who can complete their assignments properly and in accordance with the specified time.


Each student representative took an envelope containing Jumbled Words that had been prepared by the teacher. After the teacher explains the work instructions, students are welcome to open the envelope and arrange the various letters contained therein. The teacher gives a mark on the letter in front of the word so students do not have difficulty in doing it.


The discussion in the work of Jumbled Words went pretty well, but smart students still dominated the discussion. During the discussion the teacher goes around guiding students who are having difficulties. After the discussion was over, the group representative presented the results of the discussion. Of the five groups, the discussion results were presented by each group in turn.


 


Students explain what vocabulary they produce from Jumbled Words media. The teacher asks the meaning of each word presented by students into Indonesian. Students can answer compactly and correctly, but there are some students who don't answer.


Students work on evaluation sheets individually. The classroom is very quiet because students take work seriously. Students collect evaluation sheets on the teacher.


 



  1. Reflection cycle I


 


The discussion results obtained from the first cycle are as follows. The successes and failures that occurred in cycle I are:


 



  1. Researchers' observations of the teacher's activities, in learning activities have reached the success criteria 69.44% are in the pretty good category. This means that the criteria for success in learning English in the first cycle have not yet been achieved.


 



  1. Researchers' observations of student activities in learning activities have reached 57.5% success criteria. Being in the good enough category. This means that the criteria for student success in learning in cycle I have not yet been achieved.


 



  1. There are some children who still have difficulty in compiling Jumbled Words. In the implementation of discussions (in groups) are still dominated by children who have high abilities, so the need for individual guidance for all students and especially for all students with low ability.


From some observations during the study, the researcher and the English teacher concluded that the implementation of the actions during the first cycle had not been successful, for this reason it needed to be improved and repeated in the second cycle.


 



  1. Cycle II Research Results

  2. Planning cycle II


 


The implementation of the first cycle was carried out in class I at SD Negeri II Widang which consisted of 33 students on saturday, september 9, 2006, the first and second school hours with an allocated time of 2 hours (2 x 35 minutes).


Planning in cycle II is based on the planning contained in cycle I. In cycle II researchers further enhance learning activities than what has been done in cycle I.


In this cycle the researchers planned that in the discussion of vocabulary about the food and beverage by using the media Jumbled Words, class I students at SD Negeri II Widang, it was not maximal.


At this stage the researcher prepares a learning tool consisting of Jumbled Words, RPP, LK to II, evaluation sheets, teacher and student observation sheets, research instruments, and supporting teaching tools.


 



  1. Implementation and Observation of cycle II


 


The core activity begins with exploring students' knowledge about the vocabulary that has been taught in cycle I. Explanation from the teacher about working on Jumbled Words media. Then proceed with the implementation of student discussion in groups in working on Jumbled Words media. The division of the group in cycle II is the same as the division of the group in cycle I. Which in cycle II the class is divided into 4 groups, where each group consists of 8 students and 1 group consists of 9 students consisting of men and women, who have diverse academic abilities. In addition, the teacher also provides instructions to be conducted by students in learning vocabulary using the media of Jumbled Words.


The discussion went very well, this is because many students who were very enthusiastic in completing the media Jumbled Words teachers were also more intensive going around giving guidance to students or groups who actually had difficulty in completing their assignments.


Presentation of the results of group discussions is carried out alternately from group one to group four. All groups are very enthusiastic. Student activities during the second cycle presentation also increased. This is shown by students who are able to work on Jumbled Words media and find vocabulary in it. All groups can complete the task and present the results of the discussion well.


 


c. Reflection cycle II
 
1) The observations of researchers on the activities of teachers in maintaining and improving the atmosphere of learning by using the media Jumbled Words, have reached the criteria of success 86.1% are in the good category. This means that the criteria for the success of English teacher activities in learning in cycle II have been successful.
2) Student activities in working on Jumbled Words media are also very good which reach 90% success criteria. Students are able to find vocabulary from various types of letters that have been randomized in the media of Jumbled Words.
3) Researchers' observations of student activities in learning activities have reached 92.30% success criteria. Being in the category is very good. This means that the criteria for student success in learning in cycle II have been successful.
4) The observation shows that there are no more students who are still having difficulty in understanding the meaning and kinds of vocabulary around tourism places. In carrying out discussions (in groups) all children already have the same ability, so there is no need for individual guidance for all students.
5) From the results of the study, students using Jumbled Words media are more creative in arranging various letters into a vocabulary
6) Learning vocabulary by using Jumbled Words media turns out to have a positive impact on student learning activities.
7) Students are getting closer and dare to ask their group friends or teachers if there are things that are not yet understood.
8) Students are increasingly skilled at compiling vocabulary from several letters that have been randomized before.
9) From a number of observations during the study, the researcher and the English teacher concluded that the implementation of the actions during the second cycle had been successful, for that it was no longer necessary to repeat the actions of the third cycle.
