CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

4.1. Findings 4.1.1 Result of Data Test In this section the writer analyzes the result of students exam. This data has collected from pre-test and post-test mean while the writer analyzed by the starting from the individual score afterward the writer analyze the mean score of deviation from the pre-test and post-test both experimental group and control group.

4.1.2. Discussion of Data Interpretation 1. The computation mean score of experimental group After getting the individual score then the writer calcculated and tabulated the mean score of pre-test and post- test of experimental group as follows:

a. The mean score of pre-test

27

Mx =

X 2039 = = 67,96 N 30

b. The mean score of post-test

27

Mx =

X 2591 = = 86,36 N 30

c. The score deviation of

2. The computation of mean score of control group After getting the individual score then the writer calcculated and tabulated the mean score of pre-test and post- test of control group as follows: a. The mean score of pre-test

27

My =

Y 1689 = = 56,3 N 30

b. The mean score of post-test

27

My =

X 1942 = = 64,73 N 30

c. The score deviation of

3. Identification of the significance both of vocabulary test between experimental group and control group. To know the significance value the writer has formulates ttest to get the result between experimental group and control group which using formula: a. To know the result of t-test the writer using formula as follow:

27

t=

Mx My X 2 + Y 2 1 1 + Nx + ( Ny 2 ) Nx Ny b. To know the square of score deviation between two groups, the writer using formula as follows:

So, the assessment of significance value between two groups above, the writer calculated as follows:

= 4195, 97 Then:

= 1395, 37 So, the significance value of t-test as follows:

27

t=

Mx My X 2 + Y 2 1 1 + Nx + ( Ny 2 ) Nx Ny

4.2 Result After the data has analyzed it has found differences score between experimental group and control group. That the mean score of experimental

31

group higher than mean score of control group. The score of experimental group is 18,63 and the mean score of control group is 8,43. It indicates that the treathment was successful more over the significance value is 3,017. In order words it can be said that the media game crossword puzzle as the treatment of this research has make positive effect to improve students vocabulary.
