Abstract

The researcher decided to apply wordsearch games in this study. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using hidden word games on English vocabulary skills in grade seven of Mars Pematangsiantar Private Junior High School in the 2023/2024 school year. This study used a quasi-experimental design with quantitative methods. In this study, researchers used two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class. Researchers took the population of class VII with a total of 50 students. For the sample, the number of students taken was the same in the experimental and control classes, namely 25 students. The sample for the experimental class was class VII-A and the sample for the control class was class VII-B. Students were selected using purposive sampling technique. To analyze the data, the researchers used the t-test formula to determine whether the use of wordsearch games affects the mastery of English vocabulary. After analyzing the data, the results of this study showed the average pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental class and the average pre-test and post-test scores of the control class. In the experimental class, the mean pre-test score was 55.6 and the mean post-test score was 76. In the control class, the mean value of the pre-test was 60 and the mean value of the post-test was 69.4. The standard deviation for the experimental class was 5.746 and the standard deviation for the control class was 666. After calculating the average value and standard deviation of the two classes, the researcher calculated using the t-test formula, the t-count result was greater than the t-table with a significance level of 5% (3.374> 1.677). Based on these results, the researcher concluded that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of Wordsearch puzzle game has an effect on English vocabulary acquisition, especially in grade seven.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the effect of the STAD model on students' abilities in writing descriptive texts among grade XI students at SMK Negeri 1 Siantar, based on the theory developed by Robert Slavin. The methodology employed was quantitative, focusing on the population of grade XI students during the academic year 2023/2024. The researcher selected two classes as samples: XI TKJ-1 served as the experimental group with 36 students, while XI TKJ-2 acted as the control group, also consisting of 36 students. The experimental group received instruction through the STAD model, whereas the control group was taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests administered to both groups. The experimental class achieved a mean pre-test score of 66, while the control class had a mean score of 60. After the intervention, the experimental class's post-test mean score rose to 76, compared to the control class's post-test mean score of 68. To gather data, the researcher utilized tests as instruments. The t-test results showed a value of 4.444, which surpassed the t-table value of 1.677. This outcome indicated that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, and the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, confirming that the STAD model had a significant effect on improving the writing skills of grade XI students at SMK Negeri 1 Siantar in crafting descriptive texts.

The researcher took two classes as the sample. The sample were VIII-1 as the experimental group consisted of 31 students and VIII-2 as the control group consisted of 31 students. The experimental group was taught by using semantic mapping strategy meanwhile control group was taught by conventional strategy. The data were obtained by using pre-test and post-test given to both groups. The experimental group mean score was 27,2 on the pretest and on the post test was 64,84. Meanwhile, the mean score of the control group was 32,42 on the pretest and 55,32 on the posttest. To acquire the data, the researcher used multiple choice test as an instrument.
