IMPROVEMENT OF STUDENTS’ SPEAKING ABILITY THROUGH QUANTUM TEACHING METHOD AT INDONESIA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Keywords:
Metode Quantum Teaching, Kemampuan Berbicara, Sekolah Menengah AtasAbstract
Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh permasalahan yang berkaitan dengan bahasa Inggris khususnya keterampilan
berbicara. Sebagian besar siswa memiliki masalah dalam berbicara bahasa Inggris. Inti masalahnya adalah siswa
malu untuk berbicara dan membuat kesalahan ketika berbicara bahasa Inggris di depan umum karena siswa tidak
memiliki banyak kosakata sehingga sulit bagi mereka untuk mengatakannya dalam pikiran. Hal-hal tersebut
menjadi beberapa pertimbangan untuk dilakukannya penelitian ini. Dalam hal ini, pengajaran berbicara melalui
metode Quantum Teaching disarankan untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut. Selain itu, tujuan dari penelitian ini
adalah untuk mengetahui apakah penggunaan metode Quantum Teaching mampu meningkatkan kemampuan
berbicara siswa SMA Indonesia. Peneliti menerapkan desain eksperimen semu. Dalam penelitian ini dirancang
dua kelompok pre-test dan post-test yaitu kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol. Sampel penelitian ini berjumlah
70 siswa dari dua kelas yang diambil dari populasi siswa kelas XI SMA Negeri 1 Parepare. Hasil analisis data
dengan menggunakan SPSS 21 menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan berbicara siswa meningkat secara
signifikan. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan nilai rata-rata pre-test 51,31 dan post-test 87,40. Terbukti bahwa metode
Quantum Teaching dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa kelas XI SMA Negeri 1 Parepare. Oleh
karena itu, nilai hasil tes pada post-test adalah 0,000 dan nilai probabilitas adalah 0,05. Artinya nilai yang
dihasilkan tes diterima daripada nilai probabilitas (0,05). Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa H 1 diterima dan
H 0 ditolak. Oleh karena itu, siswa yang mengajar melalui metode Quantum Teaching lebih baik daripada siswa
yang mengajar dengan metode eksplisit.
