Abstract

This study aimed at finding out whether or not Problem-based Learning (PBL) can improve the mastery of adverb clause of reason, specifically focused on subordinating conjunctions: because, since, and now that. They seemed easy to use, but students had difficulty identifying the conjunctions used in sentences and constructing complex sentences that are necessary for including those conjunctions. One pre-test and post-test research design was used with 45 populations of MA Alkhairaat Ampibabo eleventh-grade students. Purposive sampling was used to select the sample, which consisted of 24 students from the XI science class. The data were collected using tests consisting of pre-test and post-test and analyzed statistically using t-test. The result of the data analysis shows that the value of t-counted (7.49) is higher than the t-table (1.714) by applying a significance level of 0.05 with a degree of freedom (df)=23. It implies that PBL has positively improved students’ mastery of the adverb clause of reason. In terms of subordinating conjunctions, the conjunction now that has the most errors in both the pre-test and post-test, followed by the conjunction since, and finally the conjunction because.

Abstract

This research aims to determine if the implementation of the Experience Text Relationship (ETR) method can improve the reading comprehension of grade eight students of SMP Negeri 14 Palu. The sample for this study consisted of the grade eight students Slamet Riyadi as the control group and grade eight students Pattimura as the experimental group, selected using cluster random sampling. The researcher used pencil and paper with a test method as the instrument for data collection in the pretest and posttest techniques. Based on the test results, the average pretest score in the control group was 64.1, while in the experimental group, it was 49.7. After treatment in the experimental group, there was an increase above the control group, as evidenced by an increase in the posttest. The posttest score in the control group was 77.13, while in the experimental group, it was 80.2. Furthermore, the researcher calculated the t-counted to be 5.625, applying a significance level of 0.05 with degrees of freedom (df) 58, and the t-table value was 1.684. This means that the t-value is greater than the t-table value, leading to the conclusion that the Experience Text Relationship method can improve students' reading comprehension more effectively.
