<![CDATA[The objective of this research was to find out the significant effect of the scramble method on students’ achievement in learning vocabulary. The experimental design was used as the research design. The population of this research was taken from the eighth-grade students of SMP Al Washliyah 8 Medan. There were 7 parallel classes with a total number of 231 students. Each class consisted of 33 students. The sample was taken by applying cluster random sampling with the lottery technique. Class VIII1 consisting of 33 students was selected as the experimental group and class VIII3 consisting of 33 students was selected as a control group. The total sample was 66 students. The experimental group was taught by applying the scrambling method, while the control group was taught by applying the conventional method. Multiple-choice tests containing vocabularies were used as the instrument for collecting the data. The mean score of the experimental and control groups were then compared and calculated. The value of both groups then was tested using the t-test formula. It was obtained that that tobserved value was higher than ttable value (7.25 1.66) at a level of significance =0.05 with a degree of freedom df=58. Based on the determined hypothesis, it meant that Ha was accepted and Ho was successfully rejected. Thus, it was concluded that there was a significant effect of the scramble method on students’ achievement in learning vocabulary.]]>

The instrument used for collecting the data was essay cloze test by filling missing words. The test was used to obtain the students’ scores for each group. After finding the mean score, the standard deviation, and standard error of both groups, then a statistic t-test was applied. After calculating and analyzing the data, it was obtained that t-observed was 2.29 and t-table was 1.67 at t-critical 0.005 and df=58. Comparing both value, it showed that t-observed was higher than t-table (2.29>1.67) which meant that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected.

Thus, this research was conducted to know the effect of mind mapping on students’ ability in reading comprehension. This research was conducted using a quantitative quasi experimental design. The sample was divided into two groups, namely experimental group and control group which consisted of 35 students for each. This research used pre-test and post-test in the form of reading comprehension test as the research instrument. The research result concluded that the students who were taught by mind mapping had a better reading comprehension. The data analysis showed the pre-test mean score of experimental group was 55.4 while the control group was 54.5 and the score was increased after applying mind mapping. The post-test mean score of experimental group was 77.7 and 69.5 for control group. The value of mean score of both groups was calculated using T-test. It was obtained the value of T-count was 3.96 while T-table was 1.66 under the degree of freedom 68 and the degree of significance 5%. Since T-count value was higher than T-table value, the hypotheses were proved. Therefore, it is stated that Ha (alternative hypothesis) was accepted and Ho (null hypothesis) was rejected. Based on this research result, it is suggested that the English teachers apply the mind mapping technique since this technique is one of many ways teachers can apply to enhance students reading comprehension of texts easily and efficiently.]]>
