THE EFFECT OF USING NUMBERED HEADS TOGETHER TECHNIQUE ON READING COMPREHENSION ACHIEVEMENT OF THE EIGHT GRADE STUDENTS AT SMP ISLAM GUMUKMAS JEMBER
No full textThe purpose of this research was to know whether or not there was a
significant effect of using Numbered Heads Together Technique on Reading
Comprehension Achievement of the Eighth Grade Students at SMP Islam Gumukmas
Jember.
Reading is one of the four basic skills that must be taught to the junior high
school students. This skill is as important as the other language skills, but it is
assumed that through reading skill students will be able to learn the other skills more
conveniently because all of the skills involved reading activities. Reading relates to
reading comprehension. It means that when students are reading, they are doing
thinking process by comprehending all the words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs
in order to get the meaning of the text as a whole. Through reading activities, students
are expected to understand the meaning of the text and get the information needed of
the whole text. One of the techniques that can be used and applied by an English
teacher is using Numbered Heads Together technique in a reading class. Numbered
Heads Together technique is a cooperative learning technique that promotes
discussion and both individual and group accountability.
Based on the interview with the English teacher of the eighth grade at SMP
Islam Gumukmas, Jember, it was known that the English teacher as the center of
teaching reading of English and the English teacher taught the students by using
Lecturing technique, question and answer, and sometimes gives some games and
using song in teaching learning process. In other words, the English teacher has never
used NHT Technique in teaching reading. She also explained that lecturing technique
actually was not very effective for students because the students have a lack of
activities. The students did not always understand well the meaning of the reading
text, and they spent a long time to read the text which mostly done word by word.
Consequently, they could not answer all the comprehension questions correctly in a
given time. For that reason, the teacher should choose the appropriate teaching
strategy to make the students master in reading skill. One of them is Numbered Heads
Together Technique.
The respondent of the research was the eighth grade students of SMP Islam
Gumukmas Jember, which consisted of four classes (VIII A, VIII B, VIII C, VIII D).
The sample of the research was class VIII A (the experimental) consisted of 44
students and class VIII C (control class) consisted of 44 students. The data in this
research was gathered by administering a reading comprehension test.
In this research, quasi-experimental with posttest-only control group design
was applied. First, the researcher administered the homogeneity test to the eighth
grade students at SMP Islam Gumukmas. The homogeneity test’s result was
heterogonous. So, the researcher choosing the experimental and the control group
should be taken from two classes that had the same or the closest mean difference. It
was found that grade VIII A and grade VIII C had the closest mean difference. Then,
After that, the researcher gave the treatment, the experimental group (VIII A) was
taught by using NHT Treatment and the control group (VIII C) was taught by using
Lecturing technique. After two meetings, both classes got posttest. The last, the result
of the posttest was analyzed by using independent sample t-test formula to know
whether or not the mean difference between the experimental group and the control
group was significant.
. Based on the calculation, the mean score of the experimental group was
higher than the mean score of the control group (72,65>60,95) .The result of the data
analysis showed that the statistical value of students’ posttest was 5,37 while the
value of t-table at significant level 5 % with degree of freedom (Df) 85 was 1,98. It
indicates that the value of t-test was higher than that of t-table (5,37 > 1,98). It meant
that the null hypothesis (Ho) formulated: “NHT technique does not have any
significant effect on the eighth grade students’ reading comprehension achievement at
SMP Islam Gumukmas in the 2014/2015 academic year” was rejected. In contrast,
the formulated alternative hypothesis (Ha): NHT technique has any significant effect
on the eighth grade students’ reading comprehension achievement at SMP Islam
Gumukmas in the 2014/2015 academic year” was accepted. It indicated that the result
of t-test analysis was significant
Based on the result of this research, it was concluded that there is a significant
effect of using Numbered Heads Together Technique on reading comprehension
achievement of the eighth grade students at SMP Islam G umukmas Jember in the
2014/2015 academic year. So, it is suggested to the English teachers to use Numbered
Heads Together technique to teach English to the students, especially to teach reading
comprehension and it also suggested for the other researchers to conduct a similar
research with the same or different language skill or components, such as classroom
action research to improve the students’ reading achievement by using Numbered
Heads Together technique
