It is supported too by Nailatul Hasanah as the student at the eighth grade of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 Karduluk Sumenep answer in interview said that: "When she felled difficult how to pronounce the sentence or word and how to speak English properly and also embarrassed if she fell like this she just try to make her confidence and also looked the dictionary". From the statement above, it is supported by the eighth grade students of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 Karduluk Sumenep answer in interview. Sulalah said that: "The way that she used to make him easier to understand English grammar. She always tries to memorize new vocabulary one by one and test it by writing a sentence or speaking English with his friends”. Based on the statement above, it is supported by the eighth grade students of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 Karduluk Sumenep answer in interview. Sumiati Dewi said that: “She solve her problem that way is she try to make her more confidence and spirit than before even though her English teacher always gave her motivation before and after the teaching and learning process “.

Based on the statement above, it is supported by the eighth grade students of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 Karduluk Sumenep answer in interview. Sariroh said that: “The way that she uses to solve her problem is she just try to speaking lonely and reading some English text”. One of the solving problems faced by the eighth grade students of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 Kaduluk Sumenep Ainiyah Said in interview: "The way that she uses to acquirenew vocabulary that is by listening to the English songs and watch western movies". Based on the statement above, it is supported too by the eighth grade students of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 karduluk sumenep answer in interview. Sulalah said that: “The way that she use to make easy her problems that his face is she always watch the movies that speak English". From the statement above, it is supported by Rofiqoh as the student at the eighth grade of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 Karduluk Sumenep answer in interview said that: “The way that she use to solve her problem is she speak with loud voice, because it easy for him to comprehend and make she easy to remember the vocabulary”. From the statement above, it is supported too by Siti Qomaryah as the eighth grade students of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 Karduluk Sumenep answer in interview said that: "She faced problems in learning English is laziness which always makes she never passion for learning but she do not know how to solve my problem". From the statement above, it is supported too by Fatmasari as the eighth grade students of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 Karduluk Sumenep answer in interview said that: “The way that she use to solve her problem, she try to motivating herself to learn more and reading passages and also open the English dictionary to find the right way of pronunciation”. From the statement above, it is supported too by Mutmainnah as the eighth grade students of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 Karduluk Sumenep answer in interview said that: “ She solve her problem by listening the English music “.
From the statement above, it is supported too by Toyyibah as the eighth grade students of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 karduluk Sumenep answer in interview said that: “She solve her problem by motivate herself and always try confidence to speak up in front of the class but really it is so difficult for her”. From the statement above, it is supported too by Syofiatul Ummah as the eighth grade students of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 Karduluk Sumenep answer in interview said that: “She solve her problem by read some text and she ask to another friend how the way to be confidence to speak up”. From the statement above, it is supported too bythe eighth grade students of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 Karduluk sumenep, Arofatul Hasanah answer in interview said that: “When she feel lazy and sleepy to learn English in the class, she always write something in his book because it can make her not sleepy”. From the statement above, it is supported too bythe eighth grade students of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 karduluk Sumenep, Raihani and Qurratul Faizah answer in interview said that: “They do not know how to solve their problems because every meeting especially in English subject they always felled so sleepy and not spirit”. From the statements above the researcher can conclude that the solving problems done by the English teacher and the eighth grade students were the first, there are students who named Arofatul Hasanah have a way to solve her problem is when she feels sleepy or lazy to listen the material that given by the teacher, she always write something in his book the goal is not to eliminate bored and sleepiness, while Hasit S.HI as English teachers always give motivation to all students both before and after the learning process implemented, other than that he always threaten not to raise students to nine class that does not always serious during lessons, it was done aiming to give attention to his students are lazy. In addition to solving the problem above there are several ways in which eighth grade students in helping to overcome the problems in learning English among them

there are always listening to English music and also watch a western movie, and there are also some of them who memorize new vocabulary everyday and also look up dictionary to know how the right spelling. In the other hand the student at the eighth grade students of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 Karduluk Sumenep have same problems Based on the observation and interview, the researcher got the data in the field above, There are eighth problems and ten ways that the students used to solved, that faced by the students at the eighth grade students of Islamic Junior High School of An-Najah 1 Karduluk Sumenep. Speaking in English is one of four language skills: reading, speaking, listening, and writing. This means speaking involves responding and producing by oral. They need to able to speaking English, not only for academic but also for their careers. Speaking can also help the students improve their reading and listening skills. Speaking is one of the something to express our knowledge that is in our brain or the language which used by someone that combining sound in order to they can communicate, express their felling or answering a question. And Speaking is one the most difficult aspect for students to master. This is hardly surprising when one considers everything that is involved when speaking: idea what to say, language, how to use grammar and vocabulary, pronunciation as well as listening to and reacting to the people the person the speakers are communicating with. The learners need practice to speak because speaking is one of the difficult aspects to express our idea, using grammar and vocabulary. There are many kind of the problems in learning speaking English, such us low motivation, shining, laziness, limited vocabulary and also difficult to as well as quickly, Actually there are some difficulties in making speaking that have been clearly explained from Douglas Brown theory in chapter II. The important thing in learning speaking is how to solve our problems when we fell difficult to comprehend the speaking skills. The English teacher must be a good
helping to their students that have problems especially in learning speaking, although the students here have the way how to solve their problem himself. The students in the eighth grade at Islamic junior high school of AnNajah 1 Karduluk Sumenep have many problem in learning speaking such us difficult to understand the material, limited vocabulary, laziness, low motivation, and also difficult to pronounce new word and sentences by a good stress, rhythm, and intonation. In the process of learning speaking English sometimes most of students have some problems, some common negative beliefs or problems Include: a) English speaking is difficult. b) I am not good at English. c) I am nervous when I speak English. d) I must speak English perfectly every time. e) I cannot make mistakes. f) There is only one right answer. g) I must memorize and follow all grammar rules. h) People from my country cannot speak English well. i) It is impossible to speak English easily and quickly Based on the discussion above, the researcher can conclude that the speaking the complex activities in learning English material and also the important subject to students especially they are as the second language learners. Most of the solving problems that have by the students at the eighth grade of Islamic junior high school of An-Najah 1 Karduluk Sumenep are they try to motivate themselves and also listens an English music. When the students a good motivation perhaps students can easily to interest learn speaking English and also can make easier to understand the material. However, the motivation that helps to maintain an understanding of the long terms because of emotional motivation and a desire to enjoy the speaking material. And of course the students more confidences to speak up.

CONCLUSION Speaking is one of the something to express our knowledge that is in our brain or the language which used by someone that combining sound in order to they can communicate, express their felling or answering a question. And Speaking is one the most difficult aspect for students to master. There are eight problems Feel bored, lazy (low motivation), difficult to understand the material (low basic), difficult to make some conversation (vocabulary limitation), difficult to pronounce the words or sentences, difficult to mastering and understanding the grammar, low motivation, difficult to translate in speaking quickly (vocabulary limitation), shyer. Most of the problems faced are low motivation and shyer. Furthermore, the solving problems that used by the eighth grade students at Islamic junior high school of An-Najah 1
karduluk sumenep are: Write something in book to make not sleepy, reading English text, motivate myself, listening western music, open dictionary, speak with loud voice, watching English movie, speak lonely and read an English text or book, memorized new vocabulary, do not know. Most of the solving problems that used by the students at the eighth grade of Islamic junior high school of An-Najah 1 karduluk sumenep are they try to motivate themselves and also listen an English music. When the students have a good motivation perhaps students can easily to interest learn speaking English and also can make easier to understand the material. However, the motivation that helps to maintain an understanding of the long terms because of emotional motivation and a desire to enjoy the speaking material and of course students more confidence to speak up.

[email protected] Abtraksi :Kurikulum KTSP lebih menekankan pada keaktifan siswa dibandingkan peran guru. sedangkan realitanya masih banyak siswa yang masih belum belajar sewaktu guru mengajar. Kebanyakan dari siswa tidak menyadari pentingnya mempelajari matematika, mereka masih pasif karena pada umumnya materi yang diajarkan tanpa konstruksi dari siswa. Hal inilah yang akan membuat rendahnya pemahaman siswa dan kemampuan komunikasi siswa yang akan bermuara pada rendahnya prestasi belajar siswa. Sehingga seorang guru harus dapat memilih model atau strategi pembelajaran yang tepat agar tujuan yang diharapkan dari proses pembelajaran dapat tercapai. Alasan inilah yang mendasari peneliti untuk melakukan penelitian tentang Perbandingan Prestasi Belajar Siswa Yang Diajar Menggunakan Strategi Think-TalkWrite (TTW) Dengan Diajar Menggunakan Strategi Pembelajaran Ekspositori Pada Materi Pokok Garis Singgung Lingkaran Kelas VIII SMP. Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian kuantitatif dan korelatif karena data yang diperoleh berupa angka dari hasil tes dan dari tes tersebut diteliti perbandingannya.Populasi penelitian ini adalah semua siswa kelas VIII SMPN 2 Pamekasan yang tediri 8 kelas dengan jumlah keseluruhan 289 siswa. Dalam penelitian ini sampel dipilih dengan menggunakan teknik cluster purposive sampling, dengan teknik tersebut terpilih tiga kelas berdasarkan wawancara dengan guru pengajar dan sedangakan peneliti hanya membutuhkan dua kelas, sehingga peneliti menggunakan nilai matematika raport. Pada akhirnyaterpilih kelas VIII-D sebanyak 41 siswa sebagai kelas eksperimen dan kelas VIII-E sebanyak 40 siswa sebagai kelas kontrol yang sebelumnya telah diuji homogenitas kedua kelas tersebut berdasarkan nilai matematika raport. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berupa tes essai subjektif (uraian). Data dalam penelitian ini dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis statistik deskriptif. Hasil penelitian adalah perbandingan prestasi belajar siswa yang diajar menggunakan Strategi Think – Talk – Write dengan diajar menggunakan Strategi Pembelajan Ekspositori pada materi pokok garis singgung lingkaran.

PENDAHULUAN Pendidikan di Indonesia selalu mengalami perubahan secara signifikan, yang meliputi kualitas guru, sarana dan prasarana pendidikan, manajemen sekolah serta pada kurikulum pendidikannya. Perubahan itu dimaksudkan untuk meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan, baik kualitas dalam materi pelajaran, pendidik dan peserta didik. Kurikulum terbaru di Indonesia saat ini adalah Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP). KTSP merupakan kurikulum berorientasi pada pencapaian kompetensi.(Sanjaya, 2008 : 127). KTSP membawa perubahan dalam pembelajaran di kelas. Dalam KTSP proses pembelajaran lebih menekankan pada keaktifan siswa dibandingkan dengan peran guru. Guru lebih
berperan sebagai fasilitator, motivator dan dinamisator, sehingga dalam setiap proses pembelajaran guru diharapkan dapat menciptakan pembelajaran yang aktif, kreatif, efektif dan menyenangkan, yang akan bermuara pada peningkatan prestasi belajar peserta didik.(mulyasa, 2007 : 39) Terutama prestasi pada pelajaran matematika yang membutuhkan pemikiran yang kuat dalam pemahamannya. Sedangkan realitanya masih banyak siswa yang masih belum belajar sewaktu guru mengajar. Kebanyakan dari siswa tidak menyadari pentingnya mempelajari matematika, mereka masih pasif karena pada umumnya materi yang diajarkan tanpa konstruksi dari siswa. Hal inilah yang akan membuat rendahnya pemahaman siswa 24

dan kemampuan komunikasi siswa yang akan bermuara pada rendahnya prestasi belajar siswa. Sehingga seorang guru harus dapat memilih model atau strategi pembelajaran yang tepat agar tujuan yang diharapkan dari proses pembelajaran dapat tercapai. Berbagai macam strategi pembelajaran yang salah satunya adalah strategi Think-Talk-Write (TTW). Alur strategi Think-Talk-Write (TTW) dimulai dari keterlibatan siswa dalam berfikir atau berdialog dengan dirinya sendiri setelah proses membaca, selanjutnya berbicara dan membagi ide (sharing) dengan temannya sebelum menulis(Martinis Yamin 2009 : 13). Selain strategi Think-Talk-Write (TTW) terdapat pula strategi pembelajaran konvensional yaitu strategi pembelajaran ekspositori yang sudah biasa diterapkan oleh guru-guru dalam proses pembelajaran khususnya pada pelajaran matematika, dengan strategi ini guru dituntut untuk menceritakan apa yang akan disampaikan pada siswa sedetil-detilnya. Sehingga siswa dapat memahami apa yang disampaikan guru secara menyeluruh. Satu hal yang perlu diperhatikan dalam penggunaan suatu model pembelajaran harus disesuaikan dengan materi yang akan disampaikan oleh seorang guru. Ada beberapa materi pada pembelajaran matematika yang sesuai dengan penggunaan strategi Think-Talk-Write (TTW) dan strategi pembelajaran ekspositori salah satunya adalah materi Garis Singgung Lingkaran yang konsepnya begitu kompleks karena selain menghitung juga berkaitan dengan melukis garis singgung lingkaran yang biasanya masih dirasakan sulit oleh siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Perbandingan Prestasi Belajar Siswa Yang Diajar Menggunakan Strategi Think-TalkWrite (TTW) Dengan Diajar Menggunakan Strategi Pembelajaran Ekspositori Pada Materi Pokok Garis Singgung Lingkaran Kelas VIII SMP Negeri 2 Pamekasan Tahun Pelajaran 2010/2011. METODE PENELITIAN Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian kuantitatif dan korelatif sebab data yang diperoleh berupa angka dari hasil tes dan dari hasil tes tersebut diteliti tentang perbandingan dari prestasi belajar dengan
menggunakan dua strategi pembelajaran yang berbeda. Rancangan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah eksperimen yang dilaksanakan pada dua kelas yaitu kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol. Dalam penelitian ini peneliti menggunakan cluster purposive sampling, yaitu teknik pengambilan sampel dengan cara pertimbangan antar kelompok kelas yang merupakan anggota populasi untuk dipilih menjadi anggota sampel. Pertimbangan, dalam hal ini berdasarkan keterangan dari guru pengajar pada kelas tersebut (kelas sampel). Berdasarkan wawancara ada tiga kelas yang dapat ipilih menjadi sampel, akan tetapi peneliti hanya memerlukan dua kelas untuk dijadikan kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol, sehingga peneliti melakukan uji homegenitas sampel pada tiga kelas yang disarankan. Pada akhirnya terpilih kelas VIIID sebanyak 41 siswa sebagai kelas yang akan diajar dengan Strategi Pembelajaran ThinkTalk-Write (dianggap sebagai kelas eksperimen), dan kelas VIII-E sebanyak 40 siswa sebagai kelas yang akan diajar menggunakan Strategi Pembelajaran Ekspositori (dianggap sebagai kelas kontrol). Dimana tingkat kemampuan siswa antara kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol relatif sama berdasarkan uji homogenitas. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan yaitu tes dan dokumentasi. Tes yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berupa tes essai subjektif, yaitu soal atau pertanyaan yang diajukan pada responden berbentuk uraian (essai), sehingga dengan demikian jawaban yang diinginkan adalah berbentuk uraian bebas. Dalam hal ini tes ada dua yaitu pre tes dan post tes. Untuk dokumentasi dalam penelitian ini diambil dari nilai Matematika raport. Nilai Matematika raport tersebut menggambarkan kemampuan siswa sesungguhnya dari kelas sampel yang sudah terpilih melalui teknik cluster purposive sampling, data dokumentasi digunakan untuk mengetahui kemampuan awal untuk lebih meyakinkan terhadap pengambilan sampel agar hasil penelitian berlaku untuk populasi. Sehingga sebelum diadakan penelitian, data nilai raport matematika dianalisis terlebih dahulu agar diketahui homogenitas untuk mengetahui tidak adanya perbedaan rata-rata prestasi belajar populasi penelitian.. Sebelum instrumen digunakan sebagai alat

pengumpulan data, instrumen tes perlu diujicobakan terlebih dahulu dengan tujuan mengetahui kelayakan dari soal – soal tes yang dibuat sehingga harus dicari validitas, reliabilitas, tingkat kesukaran dan daya beda, untuk membantu analisis terhadap butir soal yang akan digunakan untuk penelitian, agar mengurangi kesalahan dalam perhitungan, peneliti menggunakan bantuan program SPSS (Statistical Package for Service Solution) 16.0 for Windows. Setelah melakukan uji kelayakan soal langkah selanjutnya melakukan pre test dan post test pada kelas eksperimen dan kleas kontrol. Hasil pre tes digunakan untuk mengetahui rata – rata nilai kemampuan awal pada kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol sebelum diajar dengan dua strategi pembelajaran yang berbeda, sedangkan hasil dari post tes digunakan untuk mengetahui perbedaan hasil belajar setelah diajar dengan dua strategi yang berbeda pada kelas eksperimen dan kontrol. Dari kedua kelas tersebut dihitung nilai rata – ratanya kemudian dilakukan analisis lebih lanjut.Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis statistik deskriptif dan analisis inferensial menggunakan uji-t. Pengujian hipotesis dilakukan dengan taraf signifikansi = 0,05 dan dk = + − 2. PEMBAHASAN DAN HASIL Prestasi belajar adalah hasil yang diperoleh berupa kesan-kesan yang mengakibatkan perubahan dalam diri individu sebagai hasil dari aktivitas dalam belajar. Perubahan yang diharapkan dapat terjadi tidak hanya pada aspek kognitif, tetapi juga pada aspek yang lain yakni aspek afektif dan aspek psikomotor. Prestasi belajar dalam penelitian ini adalah nilai matematika yang diperoleh setelah diajar dengan dua strategi pembelajaran yang berbeda. Dua strategi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah stategi think-talk-write (TTW) dan strategi ekspositori. Suatu strategi pembelajaran yang diharapkan dapat menumbuh kembangkan kemampuan pemahaman dan komunikasi matematik siswa adalah strategi think-talkwrite (TTW). Strategi yang dasarnya dibangun melalui berpikir, berbicara, dan menulis (Martinis dan Bansu, 2009: 84). Dari pengertian di atas, strategi think-talk-write (TTW) bertumpu pada pengembangan kemampuan berpikir, komunikasi secara
verbal dan komunikasi secara tulisan. Alur kemajuan strategi ini dimulai dari keterlibatan siswa dalam berpikir atau berdialog dengan dirinya sendiri setelah proses membaca, selanjutnya berbicara dan membagi ide (sharing) dengan temannya sebelum menulis. Jadi dalam mengunakan strategi think-talk-write (TTW) guru membagi siswa menjadi beberapa kelompok yang beranggotakan 4 – 5 orang . Pembagian kelompok tersebut lebih efektif jika dilakukan dalam bentuk kelompok yang heterogen.Peranan dan guru dalam mengefektifkan strategi think-talk-write (TTW) adalah (1) mengajukan pertanyaan dan tugas yang mendatangkan keterlibatan, dan menantang siswa berpikir, (2) mendengar secara hati-hati ide siswa, (3) menyuruh siswa mengemukakan ide secara lisan dan tulisan, (4) memutuskan apa yang digali dan dibawa siswa dalam diskusi, (5) memutuskan kapan memberi informasi, mengklarifikasikan persoalan-persoalan, menggunakan model, membimbing dan membiarkan siswa berjuang dengan kesulitan, (6) memonitoring dan menilai partisipasi siswa dalam diskusi, dan memutuskan kapan dan bagaimana mendorong siswa untuk berpartisipasi. Strategi think-talk-write (TTW) diajarkan dengan memperhatikan langkah-langkahnya yaitu (a) Guru membagi teks bacaan berupa Lembar Kerja Siswa yang memuat situasi masalah yang bersifat open ended dan petunjuk serta prosedur pelaksanaannya. (b) Siswa membaca teks dan membuat catatan dari hasil bacaan secara individual, untuk dibawa ke forum diskusi (think). (c) Siswa berinteraksi dan berkolaborasi dengan teman untuk membahas isi catatan (talk). Guru berperan sebagai mediator lingkungan belajar. (d) Siswa mengkonstruksi sendiri pengetahuan sebagai hasil kolaborasi (write). Sedangkan strategi pembelajaran ekspositori adalah strategi pembelajaran yang menekankan kepada proses penyampaian materi secara verbal dari seorang guru kepada sekelompok siswa dengan maksud agar siswa dapat menguasai materi pelajaran secara optimal (Sanjaya, 2006: 179).Strategi pembelajaran ekspositori merupakan bentuk dari pendekatan pembelajaran yang berorientasi kepada guru (teacher centered approach). Hal ini dikarenakan guru
Tafrilyanto, Perbandingan Prestasi Belajar Siswa| 27
memegang peran yang sangat dominan. Guru menyampaikan materi pembelajaran secara terstruktur dengan harapan materi tersebut dikuasai siswa dengan baik. Langkah – langkah strategi ekspositori adalah (a) mempersiapkan siswa untuk menerima pelajaran. (b) menyampaikan materi (c) menghubungkan materi pelajaran dengan pengalaman siswa atau dengan hal – hal yang memungkinkan siswa dapat menangkap keterkaitannya dalan struktur pengetahuan yang dimilikinya. (d) Menyimpulkan yaitu tahapan untuk memahami inti (core) dari pelajaran yang telah disajikan. (e) Aplikasi yaitu unjuk kemampuan siswa setelah
mereka menyimak penjelasan guru, sehingga guru dapat mengumpulkan informasi tentang penguasaan dan pemahaman materi oleh siswa. Dua strategi pembelajaran tersebut digunakan untuk mengajarkan materi pokok garis singgung lingkaran dengan sub materi garis singgung lingkaran. Pembelajaran dengan kedua strategi tersebut dilakukan dengan dua kali tatap muka pada kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol. Sedangkan pada pertemuan ketiga dilakukan post tes. Dengan soal yang sama dengan pre tes sebelum diajar dengan strategi think-talkwrite (TTW) dan strategi ekspositori.

Atas dasar pembahasan komparatif konsepsional (teoritis) diatas maka dapat peneliti tegaskan bahwa strategi Think-TalkWrite (TTW) lebih baik dalam memotivasi siswa dalam pembelajaran dibandingkan strategi pembelajaran Ekspositori. Akan tetapi strategi Think-Talk-Write (TTW) belum dapat disimpulkan lebih baik daripada strategi pembelajaran berdasarkan prestasi belajar. Kesimpulan tersebut akan diperoleh setelah menganalisis hasil dari post tes pada kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol. Pada kelas eksperimen dan kontrol setelah menggunakan teknik cluster proposive sampling untuk memilih sampel dari nilai matematika raport akan diuji berdasarkan analisis varians yang diambil dari nilai raport

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF HEURISTIC STRATEGY ON TEACHING READING AT NINTH GRADE STUDENTS OF MTs. RIYADUL ULUM BICORONG PAKONG PAMEKASAN Ika Nuriyanti Moh. Hosni English Department, FKIP, Madura University Email : Abstract: The teaching reading which is carried out by English teacher at the ninth grade appeared some problems. The learning result which is achieved by students in teaching reading is low, both on process or result aspects. From the process aspect, the students have low interest and motivation in teaching reading which is carried out by English teacher. No spirit for students to scrutinize the teacher’s explanation when the teaching reading is done. From the result aspect, the students cannot practice of learning reading result well. The students cannot read truly and exactly, either the dialogue or English text. Many students carried out many mistakes when they were reading dialogue or English text. To overcome the problems mentioned, the English teacher at MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan applied heuristic strategy in teaching reading. Through the implementation of heuristic strategy, it is expected that students can participate in teaching reading actively, such as listening to the teacher’s explanation and asking some questions when they find out difficulties. Beside that, the students could find out the difficulties faced in teaching reading and try to solve them by their own ability autonomously or asked to English teacher or other friends. There are two research focuses to be study in this reseach, they are: 1) what are kinds of heuristic strategy used in teaching reading at the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan?, and 2) how is the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading at the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan? This research is purpose to describe: 1) the kinds of heuristic strategy used in teaching reading at the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan, 2) the the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading at the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan.This research is designed by using qualitative approach. The data sources of this study are the English teacher and the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan. The research instruments used are observation, interview, and documentation. Data analysis is used in this research is descriptive. The research result shows that 1) the kinds of heuristic strategy used of teaching reading the ninth grade students at MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan is constructivism and inquiry model, and 2) the implementation of heuristic strategy of teaching reading the ninth grade students through the steps are (a) the preparation step, and (b) the implementation step. On preparation step, the English teacher are designing the planning of the implementation of heuristic strategy, designing observation sheet, giving opportunity to students to present their working result, and making evaluation instrument will be used to evaluate the students’ working result. On the implementation step, the English teacher are dividing learning group, giving worksheet, giving the subject materials will be solved by students, asking the students to present their working result in front of the class, and carrying out evaluation on the students’ working result. Key Word: teaching reading, heuristic strategy
INTRODUCTION The standard competence of English subject at MTs based on Curriculum 2006 is trying to increase of knowledge, use of language, and implant of positive attitude for students on English. Therefore, the teaching English is directed to increase the students’ communicating ability in English, orally or written (Departemen Agama RI, 2006: 2)
In order that the students can communicate in English, the teaching English does not contain the knowledge of language, or students are demanded to master the knowledge of language. The teaching English, beside increasing the use of language, it is also increasing the thinking and enlarges the perception of ability, especially related to real life of students. 29
30 | INTERAKSI , Volume 8, N0 1. Januari 2013, hlm 29-40
Similarly, students can connect and apply the learning English result in daily life. To increase the teaching English quality, it is needed the teaching that has oriention on teaching strategy that can increase students learning result, giving chance to students to build their knowledge. This teaching is very important for students, because the principle of teaching is mental working actively, it is not the teaching from teacher passively. The teacher trainsgives support, trains, and gives defiance thinking to students only. In MTs curriculum 2006 is explained that the teaching English contains four domain skills, namely (1) listening, (2) speaking, (3) reading, and (4) writing. From four skills mentioned, the teaching reading is made focus of this research. The teaching reading can not be separated from the other aspects, for instance listening, speaking, and writing. Therefore, English teacher must involve four skills in implementing the teaching English, in order to students achieve good learning English result. In increasing students’ four language skills, English teacher must carry out the teaching English well by involving the teaching components, such as mastering of subject materials will be conveyed to students, choosing and using of teaching media truly, using of learning sources, and evaluating of students learning result. In addition, English teacher must show skill in teaching English in order that going on effectively. Some skills for the teacher in teaching are (1) establishing set, (2) etablishing appropriate frame of reference, (3) achieving closure, (4) recognizing and obtaining attending behavior, (5) providing feedback, (6) employing rewards and punishment (reinforcement), (7) controlling of participation, (8) redudancy and repetition, (9) illustrating and using of example, (10) asking questions (basic), (11) the use of divergent questions, (12) the use of higher order questions, (13) the use of probing questions, (14) students – initiated questions, (15) completeness of communication, (16) varying the stimulus situation, (17) lecturing, precuing, (18) classroom managements and discipline, (19) guiding small group discussion, (20) small group teaching and individualized instruction, and (21) guiding
discovery learning and fostering creativity (Richard and Rendandya, 2005: 156). Beside that, English teacher needs to choose the teaching strategy effectively. The teaching strategy is the way of teacher applies the teaching activities effectively and efficiently in order that makes interaction among the students with the teaching components to reach of teaching goals (Amin, 2001: 132). One of the teaching strategies that can be chosen and carried out by English teacher in teaching reading is heuristic strategy. According to Michalewicz and David (2000: 2), heuristic strategy is that looking for and processing the message (the subject matter) are the students. The teacher is making of the students’ learning advisor. Similarly, the students must be efforts to know and find out the problems faced by using their knowledge and experiences that have been had before. While English teacher is giving facility on learning activity will be carried out by students and support to solve the problems faced by them. The heuristic strategy has advantages on students’ learning reading, that is the students will be formed positive attitude time by time, such as creative, critical, innovative, believe on themselves, opened, and stand alone (Michalewicz and David, 2000: 23). Their formed of positive attitude on the students will reach achievement optimally. In teaching reading, the implementation of heuristic strategy is very important on students learning activity. In this way, the students’ motivation will grow well. The students will try to find out the problems faced by their selves’ skills. Beside that, the students will obtain of good learning result, especially in teaching reading. The teaching reading is one of four language skills aspect must be achieved by students in learning English, included for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan. However, the teaching reading which is carried out by English teacher at the ninth grade appeared some problems. The learning result which is achieved by students in teaching reading is low, both on process or result aspects. From the process aspect, the students have low interest and motivation in teaching reading which is carried out by English teacher.
Nuriyanti, The Implementation of Heuristic Strategy| 31
When the teaching reading is in process, the students do not have high interest and motivation. By other words, the students have a certain passive attitude in teaching reading. No spirit for students to scrutinize the teacher’s explanation when the teaching reading is done. From the result aspect, the students cannot practice of learning reading result well. Based on the observation result that the writer carries out at ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan showed that the students cannot read truly and exactly, both the dialogue or English text. Many students carried out many mistakes when they were reading dialogue or English text. To overcome the promblems mentioned, the English teacher at MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan makes some efforts to increase the students learning result, especially on teaching reading in order to be better. One effort is made by the English teacher for the ninth grade students is implementing of heuristic strategy in teaching reading. Through the implementation of heuristic strategy, it is expected that students can participate in teaching reading actively, such as listening to the teacher’s explanation and asking some questions when they find out difficulties. Beside that, through the implementation of heuristic strategy, the students could find out the difficulties faced in teaching reading and try to solve them by their own ability autonomously or asked to English teacher or other friends. The activeness of students in implementation of heuristic strategy, such as listening, asking some questions, and finding out the difficulties and then solving them are very important for students in teaching reading. Through the activeness of students in teaching reading mentioned will increase the students’ reading ability on English texts truly and exactly. Thereby, the students can obtain good learning reading result, namely the students can read the English texts truly and exactlty. Based on the problems mentioned, the writer is interested to carry out the research at MTs. Riyadul Ulum by the title: “The Implementation of Heuristic Strategy in Teaching Reading at the Ninth Grade Student
of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan”. RESEARCH METHOD This research is designed by using qualitative approach. Robert Bogdan and Taylor, 1993: 30) said that qualitative research is research procedure, which produces the descriptive data in form of oral and written words and behaviors of the people observed. The qualitative research based on natural background as intaction, rely on human being as the research instrument, use the qualitative method, and analyze of data inductively (Moleong, 2001: 27). The writer uses qualitative approach because of the following reasons (1) this research uses human being, that is the writer as instrument, (2) the data is collected in form of statements and action, and (3) data analysis uses the inductive conclusion. The qualitative research is used because the writer wants to describe the kinds of heuristic strategy used in teaching reading at the ninth grade students, and the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading at the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan. Research area is a place chosen by the writer to do the research. In determining of research area will be made place of research, the writer must consider substantive theory; go to the field to see the reality in the field. Limitation of geography and practice, such as time, cost, and power is need to be made consideration in determining of research area (Moleong, 2001: 25). The chosen of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan as research area by considering, (1) the teaching reading result is low, so that the English teacher applies heuristic strategy to increase the students’ reading ability, (2) there is a well cooperation from the English teacher in carrying out of research, (3) the location is strategic, easy to be reached through on foot and various of vehicles. Thereby, that will make easier of writer in carrying out of research and collecting of data. The research instruments used in this research are observation, interview, and documentation. From the research instruments mentioned can be explained as
32 | INTERAKSI , Volume 8, N0 1. Januari 2013, hlm 29-40
follows: Observation is observing and noting process to the indications is observed systematically (Hadi, 1993: 136). The form of observation is used in this research is systematic observation, where the compasses of observation has been prepared by the writer before. The observation is carried to the English teacher and the students. In this research, observation is used to see preparing the implemention of heuristic strategy in teaching reading, the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading, the role of teacher in teaching, the students learning motivation, and the students interest in working the tasks. Interview is a dialogue that carried out for getting information from the interviewee (Arikunto, 2002: 206). This research uses the structured interview, namely the framework of interview has prapared before. The data will be collected is the kinds of heuristic strategy used in teaching reading at the ninth grade students, and the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading at the ninth grade students. Documentation is one of the techniques is used to obtain the data from documents and written materials (Arikunto, 2002: 208). The documentation is used to collect of data about the teacher’s preparation in teaching reading (lesson plan), and the students’ reading achievement. Data analysis is regulating and organizing process of data into a category and unity of data. The data is analyzed in this research is interview, observation, and documentation data. According to Robert Bogdan and Bilking (in Arifin, 1996: 84), data analysis is tracking and organizing process systematically of the interview and observation transcript collected to increase of understanding the materials in order be able presented to other people. Data analysis technique is used in this research is descriptive, that is giving predicate to the variables are researched appropriately based on real condition (Arikunto, 2006: 153). The steps of data analysis are (1) reducing of data, (2) displying of data, and (3) verifying and concluding. Reducing of data is used to choose the important data in supporting the research result, and then throw the data which is not important, particularly related
with the kinds of heuristic strategy used in teaching reading at the ninth grade students, and the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading at the ninth grade students. Displaying of data is used to perform of data obtained in the field appropriate the research focus, includes the kinds of heuristic strategy used in teaching reading at the ninth grade students, and the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading at the ninth grade students. Verifying and concluding are used to check up the completeness and the truth of data has been collected and then taken conclusion suitable with the problems which are researched. After the data is analyzed, then the data is interpreted. In interpreting the data, the writer uses own interpreting and direct to the research result. In this way, the writer expresses the research result by using own language appropriate by the data collected. From the interpreting result mentioned, and then taken the conclusion. FINDING AND DISCUSSION The research finding about the kinds of heuristic strategy used in teaching reading at the ninth grade students, and the implementation of heuristic strategy of teaching reading the ninth grade students can be expressed as follows: The implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading which is carried out by English teacher for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan has the purpose on how the teaching reading mentioned going on effectively, whether from the teaching reading process aspect or from the teaching reading result aspect. From the teaching reading process aspect, the teaching reading is expected can grow the students’ learning interest and spirit. By learning interest and spirit mentioned, the students are expected to reach good achievement in teaching reading. From the teaching reading result aspect, the teaching reading can take good comprehension on the subject materials for the students, so that they get high score and reach learning mastery. Related with the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan, Syamsul

Arifin, the English teacher at MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan explained as follows: The main purpose will be reached from the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading at the ninth grade students is to create effectively of the teaching reading, whether from the process aspect or from the teaching result aspect. Thereby, the students can learn with high interest and spirit, and similarly the students get good achievement in teaching reading, namely they can read the texts or dialogue truly and exactly. In applying heuristic strategy at the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan, the English teacher chooses the kinds of heuristic strategy that will be used in teaching reading. That has done in order that the teaching reading activity can give good result on the students’ learning reading activity. The kinds of heusristic strategy are used by English teacher in teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan, furthermore Syamsul Arifin said as follows: The kind of heuristic strategy is used in teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan are constructivism and inquiry model. The two kinds of heuristic strategy mentioned are used by English teacher with expectation that the students can learn zealously and high spirit, then they get good learning result, namely the subject materials can be understood well by students and then they get high score The English teacher uses constructivism model in teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan, because the teaching reading is dominated by teacher, while the students are passive in teaching reading. Constructivism explains that the students construct or create the knowledge by trying to give meaning on knowledge appropriate with their experiences. The knowledge is not stable, because the knowledge is created by human being and they experience the new experiences constantly, so the knowledge is never stable. So, the comprehension which is gotten by human being always tentative and incomplete. The human being’s
comprehension will be deeper and stronger if we examined through the new experiences. Through the use of constructivism in teaching reading, the students are expected to construct their knowledge time by time and then enlarge other aspects. The students must construct the knowledge and give meaning through the real experience. Therefore, the students must be trained to solve the problems and find out something that is useful for themselves. The students must construct the knowledge in their minds. The students must find out and transform the complex information to the other situation. The teacher will not be able to give all knowledge to the students. Therefore, the teaching reading must be carried out to be constructed process and it does not receive the knowledge. In applying the contructivism model in teaching reading, the English teacher facilitates the teaching reading. The interview result with Syamsul Arifin can be expressed as follows: In applying the constructivism model in teaching reading for the ninth grade students, the English teacher carries out it by the way (a) making the knowledge meaningful and relevant for the students, (b) giving opportunity to the students to find out and apply their ideas, and (c) realizing the students to apply their strategy in learning. That ways are carried out by English teacher in order that the teaching reading can be reached optimally. Beside that, the English teacher uses inquiry model in teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan. Inquiry means that knowledge and skill which is gotten by students do not remember the result of the fact series, but they find out by themselves. Therefore, the English teacher designs the teaching reading refers to find out activity for the students. That means the students must be active in learning and participate in teaching reading. The implementation of inquiry model in teaching reading are carried out by English teacher as follows: The steps of the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan are (a) giving the problems will be solved by the students, (b) asking the students to observe the problems, (c) asking
34 | INTERAKSI , Volume 8, N0 1. Januari 2013, hlm 29-40
the students to analyze the problems, and (d) asking the students to read their analysis result in front of the class. The steps mentioned are carried out by English teacher suitable with the teaching reading purposes will be reached. The kinds of heuristic strategy which includes contructivism and inquiry in teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan is also expressed by Fahrur Rozi Fuadi, the ninth grade students. The data obtained through interview with the students mentioned can be expressed as follows: In teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan, the English teacher used the heuristic strategy in form of the constructivism and inquiry model. Both form mentioned are used by English teacher to increase the students’ reading ability appropriate their knowledge have been had previously. Thereby, the students can build their knowledge and experience in solving the problems faced. Both heuristic strategy forms are used by English teacher in teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan as expressed by the two data sources mentioned which is suitable with observation result when the teaching reading is going on. The observasion result mentioned can be expressed as follows: When the teaching reading is going on, the English teacher applied the heuristic strategy in form of the constructivism and inquiry model. The English teacher looked directing the students to construct their knowledge and experience, and then tried to find out the problems to be solved. The students listened to the English teacher’s explanation actively and work the tasks seriously and highly spirited. Based on the interview and observation result, the research finding showed that the English teacher applied heuristic strategy in teaching reading at the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan. The kinds of heuristic strategy which are used by English teacher in teaching reading are constructivism and inquiry model. Constructivism is the teaching model emphasizes how the students can contruct
their knowledge through experiences themselves. While inquiry is the teaching model emphasize how the students can solve and find out the problems faced appropriate with their ability. The English teacher carried out many efforts to increase the teaching reading result for the eighth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan. Through the efforts mentioned, the teaching reading can be reached optimally, whether from the teaching reading process aspect or from the teaching reading result aspect. From the teaching reading process aspect, the teaching reading can increase the students’ interest and motivation, so that they can participate in reading activity. Thereby, the students obtain good result in reading. From the teaching reading result apsect, the students can understand well on teaching reading materials, or the students get high score in reading. One effort which is carried out by English teacher in increasing the teaching reading result for the ninth grade students is through the implementation of heuristic strategy. In applying of heuristic strategy in teaching reading, the English teacher at MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan carries out of preparations, such as the subject materials will be solved by students, worksheets, the class presentation, and evaluation will be used. The preparations are carried out by English teacher in applying heuristic strategy in teaching reading at the ninth grade students, Syamsul Arifin, the English teacher expressed as follows: The preparations are carried out by English teacher in applying heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students are includes (a) designing lesson plan, (b) designing observation sheets, (c) dividing learning groups, (d) giving opportunity to the students from each group to present their working result, and (e) carrying out evaluation on the students’ working result. The preparations mentioned is planning which must be made in applying heuristic strategy to students. Based on the interview result mentioned can be taken conclusion that the English teacher has carried out good preparations in applying heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students
Nuriyanti, The Implementation of Heuristic Strategy| 35
of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan. That means that the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading can be reached well. Thereby, the teaching reading materials which are solved together by each learning groups can be understood by students. The preparations are carried out by English teacher in applying heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan such as the statement of Syamsul Arifin mentioned is suitable with the documentation data as follows: The preparations are made by English teacher in documentation form that related with the implementation of heuristic strategy includes making lesson plan, making observation sheets, and making evaluation instrument will be used to evaluate of students’ working result. After the preparations are made by English teacher in applying heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students, then the English teacher at MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan carried out the teaching reading appropriate to the planning has been made before. The steps of the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students, Syamsul Arifin expressed as follows: The steps of the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students are (a) dividing learning group of the students consist of 4 students for each learning group, (b) giving working sheets to the students, (c) giving problems or subject materials will be solved by the students, namely the text about ”The Blake’s Trip to Indonesia”, (d) asking the students to present their working result in front of the class, and (e) carrying out evaluation on working result of each group, whether individually or groups. On other opportunity, the writer makes interview with Ahmad Munawwirul Fuad, the ninth grade student of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan. Related to the steps of the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading which is carried out by English teacher for the ninth grade students, the student mentioned expressed as follows: The steps of the implementation of heuristic strategy which is
carried out by English teacher in teaching reading for the ninth grade students are (a) dividing learning group of the students, (b) giving work sheets to the students, (c) giving the subject materials will be solved by each group, that is about ”The Blake’s Trip to Indonesia”, (d) asking each learning group to present their working result in front of the class, and (e) evaluating the working result of each student, whether individually or group. In order that the student can cooperate well in solving the problems faced in their learning group, such as sharing opinion, repairing wrong responses, and asking one and each others, the membership of students on each learning group taken from students have different ability. For example, there are students who have high ability, middle, and low ability, so that they inform one another in solving the problems. Related to taking the group members in the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading, furthermore Syamsul Arifin expressed as follows: The taking of the membership of each group in the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading is taken from each of student who has different ability. In learning group memberships mentioned is taken from students who have high ability, middle, and low ability. Through taking from each student has different ability mentioned mean in order to they cooperate one another in solving the problems, so that they understand on the problems solved. The statement of Syamsul Arifin is also supported by the statement of Ulfatul Hasanah, the ninth grade student of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan. The data collected through interviewing with the students can be expressed as follows: In taking the members of learning groups in the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading at the ninth grade students, the English teacher takes students from the different ability. That means the membership of the students on each group consist of the students have high ability, middle, and low ability. That case means in order that the students cooperate and exchange opinions one and each others in solving the problems are given by English teacher. In the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading, the students
36 | INTERAKSI , Volume 8, N0 1. Januari 2013, hlm 29-40
carry out many activities with other students in their groups. While the English teacher functions as facilitator, namely directs and give guidance on students’ learning, learning difficulties, and the activities are carried out in teaching reading. Syamsul Arifin, the English teacher of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan who has applied heuristic strategy in teaching reading also functions as facilitator. Related to the role of English teacher in the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the eighth grade mentioned, Syamsul Arifin said as follows: In the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the eighth grade students, the English teacher functions as facilitator. That means the English teacher gives facility on learning activity will be carried out by the students, gives direction and guidance to the students, particularly on learning difficulties are faced by students. The English teacher gives spirit and motivation to each learning group of the students to cooperate actively with other friends in solving the problems. In order that the students on each learning group can know about their involvement with other group members, the English teacher asks the students on each learning group to present their working result in front of the class. All students on each learning group asked to play actively one and each others in reading their working result, and answer the questions which are conveyed by other groups. That case carried out to know about being active or not active of the students with their group members, especially after finishing the tasks given by English teacher. The next, the working result of each learning groups of the students related to the tasks which are given by English teacher, every learning groups of the students asked their responsibility. That means the English teacher asks every learning groups to present their working result in front of the class. The data of interview result collected through interviewing Syamsul Arifin can be expressed as follows: To know the involvement and the unity of the students on each learning group, the English teacher has observation on each learning group when doing the tasks. Beside that, after the students on each learning groups finish the tasks the
teaching reading, every learning group was asked to present their working result in front of the class. Through this presentation can be known the students’ involvement with other friends on each their learning group. The statement of Syamsul Arifin mentioned suitable with the data that obtained through observation activity. The data of observation result related to the involvement of the students in their learning group in solving the problems can be expressed as follows: When English teacher gives the tasks that must be done by students, he carries out observation on their involvement and cooperation. Beside that, after each learning group finished the tasks as the result together, the English teacher looked to ask each learning group of the students to present working result in front of the class. That matter is a necessity that must be carried out by each learning group. The class presentation for each learning group on working result which has been done by the students together is the proces series in implementation of heuristic strategy. That is very important to be carried out by English teacher to know the involvement and cooperation of each student in their learning groups. Beside that, as the series of the implementation of heuristic strategy, the English teacher need to do evaluation on students’ working result, whether individually or groups. The English teacher at MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan is also evaluating on working result of learning group of the students. The data collected through interviewing Syamsul Arifin related to the evaluation of working result of the students’ learning group can be expressed as follows: As the process series of the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students, one of activity is carried out by English teacher is making evaluation on working result of learning group, whether carried out individually or groups. Through the evaluation mentioned expected can know the students’ mastery on the problems that solved together with their learning group members. In order that the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading to be effective, that is giving optimal result,
Nuriyanti, The Implementation of Heuristic Strategy| 37
whether on process aspect or on teaching reading result aspect, the English teacher at MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan carried out some efforts. Among the efforts which are carried out by English teacher to be effectively the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade studens, Syamsul Arifin said as follows: The efforts which are carried out by English teacher to create the success the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students are (a) motivating the students to exchange opinions that related with the tasks will be done by each learning group, (b) giving opportunity to the students to express their opinions suitable with the knowledge they have, (c) helping the difficulties are faced by the students, and (d) giving opportunity to the students to ask when there are difficulties, whether on the friends in their learning group or on the teacher. The efforts are carried out by English at MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan as interviewing excerption mentioned is meant to make the impelemetation of heuristic strategy to be effective in teaching reading. Thereby, the teaching reading takes place and reaches an optimal result, whether on process aspect or on teaching result aspect. In creating the implementation of heuristic strategy effectively in teaching reading at the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan, the English teacher always motivates the students on each learning group to exchange opinions related with the tasks will be done. Through the exchange opinions mentioned, the students on each learning group expected to understand well on the tasks worked. Not the students having high ability that having good mastery only, but all the students on each learning group. Through the exchange opinions mentioned, the implementation of heuristic strategy to be smooth and effective. The other effort which is carried by English teacher in creating the implementation of heuristic strategy effectively in teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan is giving large opportunity to the students to express their opinions suitable with the knowledge that they have. In this way, the English teacher
gives large freedom to the students on each learning group to express their opinions suitable with ability that they have. By this way, the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students will be smooth and effective. The next effort which is carried out by the English teacher in creating the implementation of heuristic strategy effectively in teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan is helping the students’ difficulties. That is carried out by English teacher in order that the students on each learning group freed from the difficulties, so that they can do the tasks seriously with their learning group members. Beside that, the other effort which is carried out by the English teacher in creating the implementation of heuristic strategy effectively in teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan is giving opportunity to the students to ask when they find out the difficulties, whether to their friends in their learning group or to the teacher. That is carried out by the English teacher in order that the students on each learning group can understand well on the tasks will be done. Giving opportunity mentioned means to plant good mastery and to avoid every student on each learning group from the difficulties. When the students freed from the difficulties faced in teaching reading through the implementation of heuristic strategy, then the students will do the tasks seriously. The effectiveness of the implementation of heuristic strategy is the main purpose will be reached by English teacher in teaching reading. About the criteria of the implementation of heuristic strategy to be said effective, Syamsul Arifin, the English teacher expressed as follows: The implementation of heuristic strategy to be said effective in teaching reading when fulfill two aspects, namely (a) the students have high spirit and interest in teaching reading, and (b) the teaching reading materials can be understood by students well. Here is the success criteria of teaching reading through the implementation of heuristic strategy. Contrary, if just one aspect reached, for instnace on process aspect, or on result
38 | INTERAKSI , Volume 8, N0 1. Januari 2013, hlm 29-40
aspect, so the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading said that is not sucsess yet. Based on interview result mentioned can be taken conclusion that the effectiveness of teaching reading showed by high spirit from the students in teaching reading. So, high spirit from the students is measure the effectiveness of the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading. On other opportunity, the writer makes interview with Ahmad Munawwirul Fuad, the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan. Related to his involvement with other students in his learning group when solving the problems or the tasks are given by English teacher, he expressed as follows: When English teacher gives the tasks, all the students help and cooperate one and each others in solving or doing the tasks on each their learning group. Beside that, among the students have exchange opinions about the tasks or the problems solved. When there are other friends do not understand on the tasks mentioned, then through the exchange opinions mentioned can make the students more and more understand on the tasks or the problems solved. High spirit that is created in form of cooperate and exchange opinions among the students on each learning group in teaching reading through the implementation of heuristic strategy as said Ahmad Munawwirul Fuad mentioned is true. The data that collected through observation can be expressed as follows: When the students doing the tasks are given by English teacher in teaching reading with their learning group, looked the students enthusiastic in doing the tasks on each their learning group mentioned. Among the students cooperate and exchange opinions one and each others in solving the problems done. When there are other friends do not understand on the tasks, the other friends explain them. The effectiveness of the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading from the process aspect which is showed by high learning spirit from the students as interview and observation result mentioned need to be carried out by English teacher. That is very important because in teaching reading activity, the
students many carry out activities, while the English teacher functions as facilitator, namely directing and helping the students’ activity and learning difficulties faced by them. The effectiveness of the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading beside can be watched from teaching process aspect, that is also can watched from teaching result aspect. In this way, the teaching reading materials are conveyed by English teacher through the implementation of heuristic strategy can be understood well by students. Related to the effectiveness of the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan from the teaching result aspect, Syamsul Arifin expressed that the teaching materials can be understood by the students. The data obtained through interviewing activity mentioned can be expressed as follows: The implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students said effective from the teaching result aspect when the teaching reading materials can be understood well by the students on each their learning group. So, the teaching reading materials mentioned can be understood easily by all the students on each their learning group. By other words, the implementation of heuristic strategy can take mastery learning for the students in teaching reading. From the interview result mentioned can be taken conclusion that the implementation of heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students of MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan from the teaching result aspect can be said effective. In this context, the teaching reading materials which are done by the students together in their learning group can be understood easily by students, especially in reading the texts given by English teacher. Based on interview, observation, and documentation result, the finding research showed that the English teacher at MTs. Riyadul Ulum Bicorong Pakong Pamekasan has applied heuristic strategy in teaching reading for the ninth grade students. The steps of the implementation of heuristic
Nuriyanti, The Implementation of Heuristic Strategy| 39
strategy in teaching reading can be classified two parts, namely (a) the preparation step, and (b) the implementation step. On preparation step, the activities are carried out by the English teacher are designing the planning of the implementation of heuristic strategy, designing observation sheet, giving opportunity to students from each group to present their working result, and making evaluation instrument will be used to evaluate the students’ working result. On the implementation step, the activities are carried out by English teacher are dividing learning group contains 4 students for the each learning group, giving worksheet, giving the problems or the subject materials will be solved by the students, asking the students on each learning group to present their working result in front of the class, and carrying out evaluation on the students’ working result on each learning group, whether individually or group.

PENDAHULUAN Pemerintah kabupaten Pamekasan mulai berbenah dalam rangka memperbaiki dan meningkatkan mutu pendidikan pada umumnya terutama mengubah persepsi terdapat sebagian masyarakat yang mempunyai persepsi kurang positif terhadap pentingnya pendidikan umum, sebagian masyarakat masih beranggapan bahwa pendidikan umum hanya berkaitan dengan masalah duniawi karena itu dipandang masih tidak lebih penting daripada pendidikan keagamaan yang dianggap berkaitan dengan persoalan agama, hal ini sesuai dengan salah satu point yang terdapat di restra pendidikan kabupaen pamekasan 2009-2014 Dari permasalahan tersebut diperlukan suatu upaya dalam mengatasinya salah satunya dengan mengaitkan pembelajaran dengan inti dari permasalahan di atas yaitu mengaitkan nilai-nilai ajaran agama dengan pendidikan umum terutama pelajaran yang dianggap sulit oleh siswa yaitu pelajaran matematika. Adapun pendekatan secara teori dianggap cocok dengan permasalahan diatas yaitu dengan Pembelajaran Matematika Realistik. Pembelajaran matematika dengan pendekatan realistik memanfatkan masalah kontekstual yang mudah difahami siswa kemudian siswa diberi kesempatan seluas-luasnya untuk menyelesaikan masalah yang diberikan
secara mandiri sesuai dengan pengetahuan awal yang dimilikinya. Kegiatan ini mengandung arti bahwa siswa diberi kesempatan untuk mendeskripsikan, menginterpretasi dan mencari strategi yang sesuai. Pembelajaran Matematika Realistik keaktifan siswa lebih diutamakan, guru hanya berperan sebagai fasilitator. Siswa bebas mengeluarkan idenya, mengkomunikasikan ide-idenya satu sama lain. Guru membantu siswa (secara terbatas) untuk membandingkan ide-ide itu dan membimbing mereka mengambil keputusan tentang ide mana yang paling tepat, efisien dan mudah dipahami oleh mereka. Dalam kaitannya dengan matematika sebagai aktivitas manusia maka siswa telah diberi kesempatan seluas-luasnya untuk menemukan kembali ide dan konsep matematika secara mandiri sebagai akibat dari pengalaman siswa dalam berinteraksi dengan masalah kontekstual. Setelah pembentukan dan menemukan konsepkonsep matematika, siswa menggunakannya untuk menyelesaikan masalah kontekstual sebagai aplikasi untuk memperkuat pemahaman konsep pada dunia nyata Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut di atas maka penulis berkeinginan kuat untuk menemukan suatu perangkat pembelajaran 41

The conclussion is related to the data that has been analyzed and the suggestion is related to how to comprehend the literary work especially song, what to do in studying literature, and how to analyze figurative of language in song. Keywords: Figurative Language, Song lyric, Doo-Woops and Hooligans Album, Literal Meaning, Contextual meaning
INTRODUCTION Language is a way used in communication to connect someone to others. According to Harley (2004:6), “Language lets us see into other people’s minds, and lets other people see into ours”. It means that we can see people’s idea based on their point of view. The authors usually describe or express their expression of feeling, ideas and situation which is happening in life to make other people know and understand what they feel in writing of literature. According to Hartiningsih (2002: 2) “Literature cannot be separated from language”. Literature is a way to communicate something from the person to another. It is good to describe and help us understand about author’s experience or imagination for example when someone is broken heart, it is an event of life that occurs in real people’s life which gives the inspirations of the author to create literary work. Reading literature offers the readers unexpected experience. Unexpected experience means imagination with real emotion to know what the authors feel. Readers can get extra knowledge by
reading literature. It is supported by Mustofa (2005: 4) that “Knowledge feed our minds, literature feeds our hearts”. It means that we learn to feel what others feel about certain things and we learn to appreciate what others appreciate. This is way for readers to feel and increase the enjoyment of reading literature. Zubaidah (2012:11) states that, “Literature is classified into three major parts: prose, poetry and drama”. Prose is a writing or expression in the form of language that has no formal structure like everyday speech. Prose itself is usually inspired from the description of facts or the discussion of ideas. Poetry is a writing about imaginations or experiences expressed through meaning, sound and rhythmic to raise an emotional response. Drama is a story meant to be acted then represented in performance as the mixture of prose and poetry. In this study the researcher only focuses on analyzing song. According to Little (1985: 174), “Tradition names five main forms of lyrical poetry are the song lyric, the sonnet, the ode, the elegy and the idyll”. It shows that song is part of poetry. The researcher prefers to analyze poetry 46
Sakdiyah, An Analysis of Figurative Language| 47
rather than drama and prose because poetry has made by authors’ emotional, experience, thinking and their interpretation, structure of words and expression of feeling in written. The other reason is because poetry contains the personal feeling of the authors in describing something. For example, beautiful scenery in beach when sun goes down. “Zubaidah (ibid: 12) states that “Poetry itself has two types namely narrative and lyric”. Narrative poetry refers to poems that tells a story which is written in poetry for example ballads and epic. Lyric poetry is to express thought and feeling of the poet based on the authors’ feeling at the moment. Lyric poetry does not tell a story which describes characters and action, but it refers to reader directly, describes the authors’ feeling, thought and perceptions. The only one example of lyric poetry is song. Song is a piece of music with words that usually sung by the singer. It is one way to appreciate the one’s idea that will be known by others. Quinn (2006:393) states, “Song is a term for a type of lyric poem, not necessarily designed to be set to music”. In the reality, song is usually accompanied by music as the collaboration between writers and composer. Composer makes a nice tone for hearing while the writers create the song lyrics with beautiful words for example “I want to see the painting of romance deep in her heart”, this sentence means a boyfriend who is falling in love with his girlfriend and he wants to know how deeps his girlfriend’s love. This example makes the listener searches their interpretation of the beautiful words and tries to understand the meaning of it. Songs also can be applied in teaching English because by using song, students understand more to analyze beautiful words in learning literature. Sometimes the students feel bored to analyze other kind of poetry, for example: poem, but by songs the students can comprehend the meaning of beautiful words because they do not only read the lyric but also listen to the music of that song. It means that they can enjoy nice tone in the songs that help them to get motivation to analyze those beautiful words in song. Beautiful words of the song consist of literature terms like metaphor, simile and others. They are called figure of speech or figurative language.
In the Sharndama and Suleiman (2013:2), “Figures of speech refer to the mode of expression in which words are employed to connote something other than the literal or conceptual meaning”. Figure of speech is the use of words that go beyond their ordinary meaning. It means that readers use their perceptions and their own interpretation to figure out the writer's meaning. It is important because it gives readers a nice sense of imagery when they listen to songs. For example lyric “Just the way you are” in Doo Wops and Hooligans album by Bruno Mars. “When I see your face there’s not a thing that I would change” This is an example of synecdoche because your face means a whole of her body or everything on her. Doo Wops and Hooligans was the first album of Bruno Mars. He named his first album by Doo Wops and Hooligans because he was inspired by hearing his father played this kind of music when he was a child. He thought that doo-wops like a women, it means that no tricks to get a soul mate or couple, except a beautiful melody, a beautiful voice and praise. Hooligans are like the guys. So this album tells about women and men want to make an intimate relationship. This album describes two sides of Bruno Mars that he is young and simple guy beside that he is also romantic person to prove that he can praise and make a woman feels so perfect in his eyes for example “Just The Way You Are” lyric “she is so beautiful and I tell her everyday”. It is tells about his amazement to his girlfriend and he always praises her everyday to show his love. Bruno Mars or Pete Gene Hernandez was born on October 8, 1985. He is an American singer-songwriter and musician from Honolulu Hawaii. His first debut is collaboration in “Nothin’ On You” song has make the listener more interest with his voice than the main singer B.O.B and this single makes everyone knows Bruno Mars. After that he released first Album Doo-Woops and Hooligans Album with single "Just the Way You are". It was released as the album's official lead single on July 19, 2010. It topped the Billboard Hot 100, having sold over 5.3 million copies. Followed by his other songs like Grenade, Count on Me, The Lazy Song and Marry You become topped in
48 | INTERAKSI , Volume 8, N0 1. Januari 2013, hlm 46-66
billboard to after the release. To prove his success in music career in this album he has collaboration with Damian Marley, son of Bob Marley in Liquor Store Blues song. By the successfulness of this album, he got a various appreciation like platinum gold indeed diamond on every country. Not only that, he recorded the song to soundtrack of the romantic popular movie “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” with entitled “It Will Rain”. Next, Grammy awards 53 on February 14, 2011 he got his first appreciations in category of the best pop male and this is to prove his talent for his credibility in world of music industry. The listener only know that song has many beautiful words without knows kinds of figurative language in those songs especially in Doo-Woops and Hooligans Album by Bruno Mars. The fact, the listeners only knows every song used hyperbole. Then, the listeners can interpret many meaning of those song by their interpretation. By the statement above, it means that album of Bruno Mars is famous because his single in first album entitled Just The Way You Are and other songs has stolen attention of the music listeners and the researcher chooses the songs from this album in this study to find the figure of speeches are used and the meaning of the songs. Based on the reasons above that researcher is interested in conducting research on the use of figurative language in song by title An Analysis of Figurative Language in “Doo Wops and Hooligans Album” by Bruno Mars. RESEARCH METHOD This research uses descriptive qualitative, because the researcher only focuses on study literature especially in describing or identifying the kinds of figurative language then analyzes the literal and contextual meaning from Doo-Woops and Hooligans album by Bruno Mars. Descriptive qualitative research deals with data that are in the form of words or pictures rather than numbers and statistics. According to Ary (2010: 485), “All qualitative analysis involves attempts to comprehend the phenomenon under study, synthesize information and explain relationships, theorize about how and why the relationships appear as they do, and reconnect the new
knowledge with what is already known”. Qualitative means that it is not related with numeric data but all the answers are shown by a number of theories that the researcher can find in the book. So, qualitative research in this research is a procedure that results in descriptive of subjective data in written, to create clear description on factual and accurate data or phenomena being structurally.The Object of this study is focused on figurative language in Doo Wops and Hooligans Album by Bruno Mars. Sources of the data in this research are Doo Wops and Hooligans Album by Bruno Mars, it consist of 10 songs. The data of this research are in the form of word, phrase and each sentence in each line or stanza in Bruno Mars song’s. To support this source, the researcher uses some other references books, journal of international or online access from internet that has close relation with this research. The researcher collects the data from some related literature references. The data are obtained from library and online either in the form of book or pdf file. The steps to collect the data are: 1. The researcher collects songs from Doo Wops and Hooligans Album by Bruno Mars 2. Listening the song 3. Reading the lyric of the song repeatedly 4. Identifying sentences that have figurative language found in each lyrics of those songs. 5. Make a note based on identified from the lyric. 6. Classifying those words based on kinds of figurative language. 7. Classifying kinds of figurative language that have been found into kinds of meaning. After the researcher collect the data then the researcher needs to analysis the data. Data analysis is a process of systematically, organizing and arranging to get useful information. According to Given (2008:186), “Data analysis are verbal if the majority of what is being analyzed is words”. It means that the word which is analyzed are the words
Sakdiyah, An Analysis of Figurative Language| 49
that have figurative language in the Doo Wops and Hooligans album. The steps of analyzing data as follows: 1. Classifying figurative language based on the lyric. 2. Identifying kinds of figurative language based on the theories 3. Interpreting the meaning based on literal and contextual from the lyric by translating. 4. Make a conclusion based on figurative language in song lyric. FINDING AND DISCUSSION The songwriter writes the song used figurative languages to get an interest from the listeners that make the beautiful and more attractive lyric of the song, for example alliteration. Based on theory, alliteration is a figure of speech that repetition happens in the same consonant sound at the beginning of words. Then, finding out the figurative of language of the song lyrics on that album, the researcher analyzes the data which have figurative of language. Then the researcher explains and analyzes words or phrases that are considered have literal and contextual meaning. So, related to figurative of language there are ten songs found in this album. There are Just the Way You Are, Talking to The Moon, Our First Time, The Lazy Song, The Other Side, Runaway Baby, Grenade, Marry You, Count on Me and The Liquor Store Blues. The analysis of those songs lyric discussed as follows: Just the way you are, is a song which tells about a man who really loves his girlfriend and he feels that there is no beautiful woman like her. Although she does not feel confident but the man always assures her with many compliments and talks she is a perfect woman. In this song kind of figurative languages which have been found namely: Alliteration, Hyperbole, Oxymoron and Synecdoche. Let see the quotation. Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin' Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her tryin' She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, she won't believe me And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see But every time she asks me do I look okay? In first and second stanza, the words which are in underlined included in alliteration. Because in those word they are repetition of consonant word e.g: knowknow, to make emphasize that he does not want to see the change in her girlfriend and he repeatedly tells how perfect she is Literally in the sentence “Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her tryin'”, the songwriter describes the beauty of her girlfriend hair which make her look so beautiful for him. In the first stanza it tells contextually about the beauty of songwriter’s girlfriend he praises his girlfriend that her eyes and her hair are so beautiful and no others which is able to compare. Then, in second stanza literally in the sentence “Yeah I know I know”, the songwriter asserts that he really knows about his girlfriend respond related to his compliment to her. In the sentence “it’s so it’s so”, literally it also tells about the songwriter asserts that related to her feeling to word his girlfriend respond. Contextually the second stanza describes about sad feeling of songwriter who always compliments his girlfriend but she never trusts it. Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me Her laugh her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy She's so beautiful And I tell her everyday
50 | INTERAKSI , Volume 8, N0 1. Januari 2013, hlm 46-66
Oh, you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same So don't even bother asking if you look okay You know I'll say In the fifth and sixth stanza especially in underlined words, it is included in alliteration because there are repetitions of consonant word as assertion for e.g: her-her. Literally in the sentence “Her lips her lips”, the songwriter tells about what he can do to his girlfriend lips. Then in the sentence “Her laugh her laugh”, it tells literally about the way of laughing of songwriter’s girlfriend that he loved. For sixth stanza especially in sentence “You know you know”, it tells literally that his girlfriend truly know the songwriter likes everything of her without asking her to make changes. Contextually the songwriter want his girlfriend still be the same as what he like of herself without change anything. Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin' Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her tryin' She's so beautiful And I tell her everyday In the first stanza especially in the underlined sentence, it is included hyperbole because this sentences seemed it exaggerate that the shinning eyes of the songwriter girlfriend is more beautiful than the shining star. While literally in the fact somebody eyes cannot shine as the stars do. Then contextually, it basically tells about the beauty of the songwriter’s girlfriend eyes which cannot be compared the beauty of stars.
And when you smile The whole world stops and stares for awhile 'Cause girl, you're amazing Just the way you are Fourth stanza in underlined sentence is included in hyperbole because it is impossible the world can stop for staring at the girl. Contextually, it tells how beautiful the girl faces so that make every people who encounter her want to stop for noticing her face. Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, she won't believe me And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see But every time she asks me do I look okay? In underlined sentence of second sentence of second stanza is included in oxymoron because there is contradictory of word to make an artistic effect. In the second stanza literally tells there is different opinion between the songwriter’s and his girlfriend. Then contextually it is about the disappointment of songwriter to his girlfriend who never trusts his compliment. He always loves his girlfriend just the way she is, but his girlfriend is always not sure about it. When I see your face There's not a thing that I would change 'Cause you're amazing Just the way you are In the underlined sentence of fourth stanza is included in synecdoche because the word “face”, means part of the girl’s body which refers to the whole of her body. Literally, the face refers to the girl’s face which is always seen by the songwriter. Contextually, by looking at the girl’s face it has been perfect enough for songwriter so that he does not want her change anything in her face. Talking to the moon tells about man’s sad feeling because he must break his relationship with his girl friend. He talks to
Sakdiyah, An Analysis of Figurative Language| 51

Because now he just views that marriage is fun. This song tells about the meaning of friendship, the friend in need is a friend indeed. It means that we can say that a true friend is someone that do not leave his friends when he is sick, bankrupt or drug addicted however they become annoying. In this song kind of figurative languages which have been found namely: Metaphor, Parallelism, Hyperbole, Metonymy, Simile, Alliteration and Oxymoron. Let see the quotation: If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea I'll sail the world to find you If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see I'll be the light to guide you First stanza especially in underlined sentence includes in metaphor because the songwriter describes about his friends’ confused feeling which is caused by the problem.

CONCLUSION After analyzing the figurative language, literal and contextual meaning in the Doo-Woops and Hooligans album by Bruno Mars, the researcher states the conclusion below: In this research, the researcher classifies figurative language in lyrics and identifies figurative of language based on theories, then the researcher analyze about the literal and contextual meaning of figurative language on each lyric. Almost all of the lyric tell about friendship or especially the meaning of friendship and love story in life which are related to happy and sad story of love. For example the sad story is when the songwriter feels broken heart because he is left away by his girlfriend. Then, the happy story is when the songwriter always wants to compliment his girlfriend. But, dominantly the lyric tells about sad story in different problem. It is also tells about the songwriter’s story in his life like in the laziest time and when he spent night in bar. After knowing the figurative of language, the researcher analyzes the literal and contextul meaning song which is including in figurative of language. In this album, the researcher find kinds of figurative of language, they are; tropes and scheme. Tropes consist of: metaphor, oxymoron, personification, hyperbole, simile, metonymy, synecdoche and zeugma. Scheme they are alliteration, onomatopoeia, parallelism and chiasmus. Hyperbole is the most kind of figurative of language that appears in this song. Because actually all of song in this lyrics use those figurative of language to make an artistic effect which is useful to explain the songwriter happiness or sadness related to describe a moment that happens in life which become an inspiration are wrote by him.

Kata Kunci : Analisis Kesalahan, Soal Cerita, Aritmetika Sosial
PENDAHULUAN Proses pembelajaran melibatkan peran guru, bahan belajar, dan lingkungan kondusif yang sengaja diciptakan. Pembelajaran merupakan upaya penataan lingkungan yang memberi nuansa agar program belajar tumbuh dan berkembang secara optimal. Peristiwa belajar yang disertai proses pembelajaran akan lebih terarah dan terkendali dari pada belajar karena pengalaman semata-mata. Keterarahan dan keterkendalian ini menuntut proses pembelajaran untuk menghadirkan pembelajar, atau guru atau bahan belajar (Suherman, 1992:2). Matematika sebagai salah satu bidang studi yang diajarkan di sekolah merupakan cabang ilmu yang spesifik. Berbeda dengan ilmu pengetahuan lain, matematika tidak mempelajari objek – objek yang secara langsung dapat ditangkap oleh indra manusia. Substansi matematika adalah benda – benda konkret yang bersifat abstrak. Objek matematika adalah fakta, konsep, operasi, dan prinsip yang kesemuannya itu berperan dalam membentuk proses berfikir matematis, dengan salah satu cirinya adanya penalaran yang logis, sehingga matematika relatif dianggap lebih sulit, karena
dibutuhkan konsistensi dalam mempeajarinya. Hal ini menjadi salah satu penyebab kesulitan siswa dalam mempelajari matematika. Permasalahan matematika yang berkaitan dengan kehidupan nyata biasanya dituangkan melalui soal-soal berbentuk cerita (verbal). Menurut Abidia (1989:10), soal cerita adalah soal yang disajikan dalam bentuk cerita pendek. Cerita yang diungkapkan dapat merupakan masalah kehidupan sehari-hari atau masalah lainnya. Bobot masalah yang diungkapkan akan mempengaruhi panjang pendeknya cerita tersebut. Makin besar bobot masalah yang diungkapkan, memungkinkan semakin panjang cerita yang disajikan. Ruang lingkup materi atau bahan kajian matematika yang diajarkan dan dipelajari oleh siswa SMP salah satunya adalah aritmetika sosial. Aritmetika sosial merupakan materi yang sangat erat hubungannya dengan kehidupan siswa. Akan tetapi dalam proses analisisnya, sebagian besar siswa kelas VIIB SMP Negeri 2 Pademawu masih merasa kesulitan dalam memecahkan masalah aritmetika sosial yang berupa soal cerita yang berhubungan dengan 67
68 | INTERAKSI , Volume 8, N0 1. Januari 2013, hlm 71-75
kehidupan sehari-hari siswa. Sehingga mengakibatkan rendahnya perolehan nilai ulangan pada materi ini. Jenis-jenis kesalahan biasanya yang banyak dilakukan siswa pada saat memecahkan masalah meliputi : Kesalahan konsep yaitu kesalahan dalam menggunakan rumus, Kesalahan interpretasi bahasa yaitu kesalahan menterjemahkan bahasa umum ke model matematika, Kesalahan tekhnis yaitu kesalahan dalam penghitungan, kesalahan prosedur yaitu ketidakhierarkisan langkahlangkah,dan Kesalahan hasil yaitu kesalahan dalam menyimpulkan hasil. Untuk itu, peneliti ingin mengetahui dan menganaisis jenis-jenis kesalahan yang dilakukan siswa SMP Negeri 2 Pademawu dalam menyelesaikan masalah aritmetika sosial agar nantinya siswa mampu memecahkan masalah dalam kehidupan sehari-hari yang berhubungan dengan aritmetika sosial. Berdasarkan hal di atas, maka tujuan yang ingin dicapai dalam penelitian ini adalah: Untuk mengetahui secara jelas tentang bentuk-bentuk kesalahan yang dilakukan siswa dalam memecahkan masalah dalam bentuk soal cerita dan mengetahui besarnya prosentase dari masing-masing bentuk kesalahan yang dilakukan siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal cerita pada materi aritmetika sosial di kelas VII SMP Negeri 2 Pademawu. METODE PENELITIAN Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif yaitu suatu metode penelitian yang dilakukan untuk memberikan gambaran yang lebih detail mengenai suatu gejala atau fenomena (Prasetyo, 2005 : 42). Penelitian ini bertujuan menggambarkan secara sistematik dan akurat fakta dan karakteristik mengenai populasi atau mengenai bidang tertentu. Penelitian ini berusaha menggambarkan situasi atau kejadian. Data yang dikumpulkan semata-mata bersifat deskriptif sehingga tidak bermaksud mencari penjelasan, menguji hipotesis, membuat prediksi maupun mempelajari implikasi. Penelitian ini menekankan pada pengumpulan data, menyusun data, analisis data, dan interpretasi data. Jadi dalam penelitian ini peneliti ingin mendapatkan informasi yang akurat dan faktual tentang kesalahan siswa kelas
VIIB SMP Negeri 2 Pademawu dalam menyelesaikan soal-soal cerita pada materi aritmetika sosial yang mana jenis-jenis kesalahan ini dilihat dari hasil tes yang diberikan pada siswa kelas VIIB SMP Negeri 2 Pademawu. PEMBAHASAN Soal Cerita Matematika Soal cerita matematika adalah soalsoal matematika yang dipaparkan dengan kata-kata yang disusun sedemikian rupa sehingga membentuk suatu cerita yang dapat dimengerti dan ditanggapi secara sistematis oleh siswa. Soal cerita masih merupakan persoalan yang sulit bagi sebagian besar siswa. Para tenaga pendidik, secara umum menyatakan bahwa sebagian besar siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam menyelesaikan soal cerita. Para tenaga pendidik dan anak didik secara umum mengakui adanya kesulitan dalam soal-soal cerita (Sakdiyah, 2007 :19). Pada dasarnya suatu soal dikatakan sulit oleh siswa disebabkan oleh kesalahan siswa dalam menganalisis soal-soal yang diberikan oleh guru. Setiap kegiatan belajar matematika yang tersusun dan terencana dengan baik akan mencakup penggunaan konsep dan keterampilan matematika secara luas dengan memperhatikan pokok bahasan yang telah dipelajari, khususnya jika mempelajari soal matematika yang berbentuk soal cerita. Langkah-langkah yang harus dilakukan untuk menyelesaikan soal bentuk cerita yaitu : menentukan hal yang diketahui dalam soal, menentukan hal yang ditanyakan dalam soal, membuat model/kalimat matematika (rumus), melakukan perhitungan (menyelesaikan kalimat matematika), dan menuliskan jawaban akhir sesuai dengan permintaan soal. Kesalahan Siswa dalam Menyelesaikan Soal Cerita Matematika Jenis-jenis kesalahan yang dilakukan siswa menurut Moovsholvilt (dalam Sadikin, 2003:09) diantaranya : a. Kesalahan Konsep, kesalahan dalam menggunakan rumus definisi. b. Kesalahan menginterpretasi bahasa, kesalahan menterjemahkan dari bahasa umum ke model matematika.
Jannah, Analisis Kesalahan Siswa| 69
c. Kesalahan Teknis, kesalahan dalam penghitungan dan manipulasi operasi penjumlahan, pengurangan, perkalian, pembagian, perpangkatan dan penarikan akar. d. Kesalahan Prosedur, ketidakhierarkisan langkah-langkah dalam menyelesaikan masalah atau kesalahan dalam memasukkan data. e. Kesalahan hasil, kesalahan dalam menyimpulkan hasil. Sesuai dengan masalah pada penelitian ini, maka kategori kesalahan yang dipakai hanya terdiri dari empat kategori, antara lain: a. Kesalahan konsep b. Kesalahan menginterpretasi bahasa c. Kesalahan teknis d. Kesalahan prosedur Secara umum faktor-faktor penyebab kesalahan dalam menyelesaikan soal matematika adalah sebagai berikut: a. Faktor Belajar Siswa b. Faktor Guru c. Faktor Buku Panduan/acuan HASIL Analisis Data Hasil Tes Pada bagian ini peneliti akan menyajikan perhitungan besarnya prosentase dari masing-masing bentuk kesalahan yang dilakukan siswa dalam memecahkan masalah soal cerita pada materi aritmetika sosial di kelas VIIB. Tabel 1 Rekapitulasi Jumlah Kesalahan Siswa dalam Menyelesaikan Soal-Soal Tes Kategori Kesalahan No JKS Soal KK KM KP KT 1 6 34 24 4 68 2 4 28 22 9 63 3 3 20 43 9 75 4 2 13 64 5 84 5 12 3 18 3 36 N= F 27 98 171 30 326 Keterangan: KK = Kesalahan Konsep KM = Kesalahan menginterpretasi bahasa KP = Kesalahan Prosedur KT = Kesalahan Teknis JKS = Jumlah Kesalahan Tiap Soal
F = Frekuensi kesalahan yang dilakukan siswa per kategori N = Jumlah kesalahan seluruh kategori Dengan menggunakan rumus prosentase biasa P =
F x 100 % dimana P N
adalah angka prosentase, kita dapat menghitung besarnya prosentase masingmasing kategori kesalahan, antara lain: 1. Kesalahan Konsep Prosentase untuk kategori kesalahan konsep, dimana F = 27 dan N = 326, maka: P =
27 x 100% = 8,28% 326
2. Kesalahan Menginterpretasi Bahasa Prosentase untuk kategori kesalahan dalam menginterpretasi bahasa, dimana F = 98 dan N = 326, maka: P =
98 x 326
100% = 30,06% 3. Kesalahan Prosedur Prosentase untuk kategori kesalahan prosedur, dimana F =171 dan N= 326, maka: P =
171 x 100% = 52,45% 326
4. Kesalahan Teknis Prosentase untuk kategori kesalahan teknis, dimana F = 30 dan N = 326, maka: P =
30 x 100% = 9,20% 326
KESIMPULAN Dari analisis data tentang kesalahan siswa dalam memecahkan masalah berupa soal cerita tentang aritmetika sosial di SMP Negeri 2 Pademawu disimpulkan sebagai berikut: 1. Ada 4 jenis kesalahan yang dilakukan oleh siswa kelas VII SMP Negeri 2 Pademawu yaitu : Kesalahan Konsep, Kesalahan Menginterpretasi Bahasa, Kesalahan Prosedur, dan Kesalahan Teknis. 2. Adapun besar prosentase untuk tiap-tiap jenis kesalahan yaitu, kesalahan konsep sebesar 8,28%, kesalahan menginterpretasi bahasa sebesar 30,06%, kesalahan prosedur sebesar 52,45%, dan kesalahan teknis sebesar 9,20%. Dari prosentase kesalahan dalam menyelesaikan soal cerita pada materi
70 | INTERAKSI , Volume 8, N0 1. Januari 2013, hlm 71-75
aritmetika sosial, kesalahan terbesar yang dilakukan siswa adalah pada tahap kesalahan prosedur. SARAN-SARAN a. Masalah yang berupa soal cerita hendaknya berhubungan dengan kehidupan sehari-hari siswa agar siswa tahu manfaat materi matematika dalam kehidupannya b. Guru hendaknya dapat mencegah atau paling tidak meminimalisasi terjadinya kesalahan yang dilakukan siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal cerita yaitu dengan
cara memberikan beberapa contoh, dan banyak memberikan latihan soal. c. Guru hendaknya memperhatikan betul setiap kesalahan yang dilakukan siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal cerita dan memberikan solusi terhadap kesalahan tersebut. Karena jika kesalahan tersebut dibiarkan, maka siswa akan menganggap pekerjaannya sudah benar, sehingga tidak menutup kemungkinan siswa akan melakukan kesalahan yang sama dimasa mendatang atau bahkan lebih fatal dari kesalahan sebelumya.

PERBEDAAN PRESTASI BELAJAR SISWA ANTARA YANG DIAJAR MENGGUNAKAN RECIPROCAL TEACHING DENGAN DIRECT INSTRUCTION PADA BAHASAN TURUNAN FUNGSI SMA NEGERI I PADEMAWU Mohammad Jufri Guru Matematika SMAN I Pademawu Email: Abstrak : Sejauh ini matematika selalu dipandang sebagai mata pelajaran yang sulit untuk dipahami sehingga kurang diminati oleh sebagian besar siswa yang akan menimbulkan rendahnya prestasi belajar. Hal tersebut dapat dipengaruhi oleh strategi pembelajaran yang sering digunakan di sekolah yang umumnya cenderung teoritik atau berpusat pada guru seperti Direct Instruction. Dimana pengetahuan yang diperoleh tergantung pada kemampuan guru dan pengetahuan tersebut mudah dilupakan. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya penggunaan strategi/ pendekatan lain yang dapat menimbulkan minat belajar siswa, khususnya pada pelajaran matematika seperti Reciprocal Teaching. dimana pengetahuan yang diperoleh lebih dipahami dan tahan lama. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada siswa kelas XI IPA SMA Negeri 1 Pademawu dengan sampel sebanyak 70 siswa dari jumlah populasi 107 siswa. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik cluster ramdom sampling dengan cara undian dan undian pertama terambil kelas XI IPA 1 sebagai kelas eksperimen dan kelas XI IPA 2 sebagai kelas kontrol. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian eksperimen. Adapun teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini yaitu dengan menggunakan tes dimana hasil tes tersebut kemudian dianalisis untuk membuktikan ada tidaknya perbedaan prestasi belajar siswa yang menggunakan Reciprocal Teaching dengan yang menggunakan Direct Instruction. Setelah data terkumpul, selanjutnya dilakukan pengolahan data. Berdasarkan hasil analisis yang diperoleh dengan menggunakan analisis uji-t dengan dk = 68 dan taraf signifikan 5%, diperoleh ttabel = 1,997 serta thitung =3,309 atau thitung > ttabel. Maka hipotesis kerja (H1) diterima dan hipotesis nol (H0) ditolak. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada perbedaan prestasi belajar siswa antara yang diajar menggunakan Reciprocal Teaching dengan prestasi belajar siswa yang diajar menggunakan Direct Instruction pada pokok bahasan turunan fungsi kelas XI SMAN 1 Pademawu Pamekasan Tahun Pelajaran 2011/2012. Kata kunci : Reciprocal Teaching (pengajaran terbalik), Direct Intruction (pengajaran langsung).
PENDAHULUAN Masalah yang sering ditemui dalam proses pembelajaran Matematika pada umumnya siswa beranggapan bahwa Matematika adalah mata pelajaran yang paling sulit jika dibandingkan dengan mata pelajaran yang lain. Anggapan tersebut dapat mempengaruhi mental siswa yang dapat mengurangi minat belajar terhadap mata pelajaran Matematika. Oleh sebab itu, guru harus memiliki strategi agar anak didik dapat belajar secara efektif dan efisien yang seharusnya diimbangi oleh penggunaan metode mengajar, sehingga berbagai metode dan pendekatan pembelajaran yang sesuai diharapkan akan dirasakan manfaatnya oleh para peserta didik disemua jenjang pendidikan. Hal tersebut sesuai dengan pendapatnya Djamarah bahwa metode
mempunyai andil yang cukup besar dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar (2006:3). Selama ini proses pembelajaran matematika umumnya masih berpusat pada guru yang masih menggunakan metode ceramah seperti Direct Instruction (Pengajaran Langsung). Arends (dalam Trianto, 2009:41) menyatakan bahwa Direct Instruction adalah salah satu pendekatan mengajar yang dirancang khusus untuk menunjang proses belajar siswa yang berkaitan dengan pengetahuan deklaratif dan pengetahuan prosedural yang terstruktur dengan baik yang dapat diajarkan dengan pola kegiatan yang bertahap, selangkah demi selangkah. Reciprocal Teaching (Pengajaran Terbalik) adalah pendekatan konstruktivis yang berdasar pada prinsip-prinsip
71

pembuatan/pengajuan pertanyaan, dimana keterampilan metakognitif diajarkan melalui pengajaran langsung dan pemodelan oleh guru untuk memperbaiki kinerja membaca siswa yang membaca pemahamannya rendah (Nur dan Wikandari dalam Trianto, 2009:173). Pengajaran Terbalik ini mengajarkan siswa empat macam strategi pemahaman yaitu: meringkas, mengajukan pertanyaan, klarifikasi dan prediksi yang bertujuan untuk memberikan teknik atau strategi pada siswa agar penguasaan konsep suatu pokok bahasan Matematika dapat dicapai dengan baik. Kenyataan di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa masih banyak peserta didik yang merasa kesulitan untuk memahami materi turunan, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan soal – soal cerita. Selain itu penerapan dari materi turunan tidak hanya dalam bidang matematika saja melainkan dalam bidang lainpun dapat diterapkan sehingga merupakan suatu keharusan bagi siswa untuk dapat menguasainya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbedaan prestasi belajar siswa antara yang diajar menggunakan Reciprocal Teaching dengan prestasi belajar siswa yang diajar menggunakan Direct Instruction pada pokok bahasan turunan fungsi kelas XI SMAN 1 Pademawu Tahun Pelajaran 2011/2012. MEODE PENELITIAN Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen yang bertujuan untuk mencari perbedaan antara kelompok eksperimen yang diberi perlakuan khusus dengan kelompok kontrol yang tidak diberi perlakuan khusus. Penentuan sampel dalam penelitian ini dipilih dengan teknik cluster random sampling dengan cara undian. Sesuai kesepakatan pada saat penelitian, maka undian yang keluar pertama dijadikan sampel kelas eksperimen yaitu XI IPA 1 (kelas yang diajar menggunakan pendekatan reciprocal teaching) sebanyak 36 siswa dan undian kedua dijadikan sampel kelas kontrol yaitu XI IPA 2 (kelas yang diajar menggunakan Direct Instruction sebanyak 34 siswa. Dalam penelitian ini peneliti menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data dengan lembar tes. Sebelum dilakukan penelitian, diperlukan uji coba terhadap instrumen
penelitian di mana uji coba instrumen dilaksanakan di SMA Negeri 3 Pamekasan yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui layak tidaknya tes diberikan dengan menggunakan: validitas tes, reliabilitas tes, daya beda dan tingkat kesukaran. Salah satu proyeksi akhir dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk memperoleh data hasil penelitian. Dari data yang diperoleh dari penelitian yaitu hasil tes akhir yang diberikan kepada siswa kelas XI IPA 1 dan kelas XI IPA 2 SMAN 1 Pademawu, kemudian diolah dengan menggunakan analisis statistik yakni Uji-t. Namun sebelum pengujian hipotesis perlu diadakan pengujian model distribusi normal (normalitas) dan uji homogenitas. Pengujian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui perbedaan prestasi belajar siswa antara yang diajar menggunakan Reciprocal Teaching dengan prestasi belajar siswa yang diajar menggunakan Direct Instruction pokok bahasan turunan kelas XI SMAN 1 Pademawu Pamekasan tahun pelajaran 2011/2012 berdasarkan hasil tes yang telah dilakukan, sehingga dapat menunjukkan apakah hipotesis yang diajukan diterima atau ditolak. PEMBAHASAN Prestasi Belajar Prestasi adalah hasil dari suatu kegiatan yang telah dikerjakan, diciptakan, baik secara individual maupun kelompok. Prestasi ini tidak pernah dihasilkan selama seseorang tidak melakukan suatu kegiatan. Dalam kenyataan, untuk mendapatkan prestasi tidak semudah yang dibayangkan, tetapi penuh perjuangan dengan berbagai tantangan yang harus dihadapi untuk mencapainya. Hanya dengan keuletan dan optimis dirilah yang dapat membantu untuk mencapainya. Oleh karena itu wajarlah pencapaian prestasi itu harus dengan jalan keuletan kerja ( Djamarah, 1994 : 19) Sedangkan belajar adalah suatu aktivitas yang dilakukan secara sadar untuk mendapatk an sejumlah kesan dari bahan yang telah dipelajari. Hasil dari aktivitas belajar terjadilah perubahan dalam diri individu. Sebaliknya, bila tidak terjadi perubahan dalam diri individu, maka belajar dikatakan tidak berhasil. Belajar adalah suatu aktivitas yang sadar akan tujuan. Tujuan dalam belajar adalah terjadinya suatu

perubahan dalam diri individu. Perubahan dalam arti menuju ke perkembangan pribadi individu seutuhnya ( Djamarah, 1994 : 21) Dari beberapa pendapat diatas dapat disimpulkan bahwa prestasi adalah hasil yang diperoleh dari suatu aktivitas, sedangkan belajar adalah suatu proses yang mengakibatkan perubahan dalam diri individu, yakni perubahan tingkah laku. Dengan demikian, dapat diambil pengertian yang cukup sederhana mengenai hal ini. Prestasi belajar adalah hasil yang diperoleh dari suatu aktivitas yang mengakibatkan perubahan dalam diri individu. Reciprocal Teaching (Pengajaran Terbalik) Reciprocal Teaching (Pengajaran Terbalik) merupakan satu pendekatan terhadap pengajaran siswa akan strategistrategi belajar. Reciprocal Teaching (Pengajaran Terbalik) adalah pendekatan konstruktivis yang berdasar pada prinsipprinsip pembuatan/pengajuan pertanyaan, dimana keterampilan-keterampilan metakognitif diajarkan melalui pengajaran langsung dan pemodelan oleh guru untuk memperbaiki kinerja membaca siswa yang membaca pemahamannya rendah (Nur dan Wikandari, 2000:16). Pengajaran terbalik terutama dikembangkan untuk membantu guru menggunakan dialog-dialog belajar yang bersifat kerja sama untuk mengajarkan pemahaman bacaan secara mandiri di kelas. Melalui Pengajaran Terbalik siswa diajarkan empat strategi pemahaman pengaturan diri spesifik, yaitu perangkuman, pengajuan pertanyaan, pengklarifikasian, dan prediksi. Penggunaan pendekatan ini dipilih karena bebarapa sebab,yaitu: a. Merupakan kegiatan yang secara rutin digunakan pembaca; b. Meningkatkan pemahaman maupun memberi pembaca peluang untuk memantau pemahaman sendiri; dan c. Sangat mendukung dialog bersifat kerja sama (diskusi). Prosedur pengajaran terbalik dilakukan pertama-tama dengan guru menugaskan siswa membaca bacaan dalam kelompokkelompok kecil, kemudian guru memodelkan empat keterampilan (mengajukan pertanyaan
yang bisa diajukan yaitu merangkum bacaan, mengklarifikasi poin-poin yang sulit, berat ataupun salah, dan meramalkan apa yang akan ditulis pada bagian bacaan berikutnya) Nur dalam (Trianto,2009:173). Selanjutnya guru menunjuk seorang siswa untuk menggantikan peranannya sebagai guru dan bertindak sebagai pemimpin diskusi dalam kelompok tersebut, dan guru beralih peran dalam kelompok tersebut sebagai motivator, mediator, pelatih, dan memberi dukungan, umpan balik, serta semangat bagi siswa. Secara bertahap dan berangsur-angsur guru mengalihkan tanggung jawab pengajaran yang lebih banyak kepada siswa dalam kelompok, serta membantu memonitor berpikir dan strategi yang digunakan. Strategi yang digunakan siswa pada penelitian ini strategi Tanya jawab dan ceramah. Direct Instruction (Pengajaran Langsung) Model pengajaran langsung adalah salah satu pendekatan mengajar yang dirancang khusus untuk menunjang proses belajar siswa yang berkaitan dengan pengetahuan deklaratif dan pengetahuan prosedural yang terstruktur dengan baik yang dapat diajarkan dengan pola kegiatan yang bertahap, selangkah demi selangkah Arends (dalam Trianto, 2009: 41) Sedangkan menurut Kardi (dalam Trianto, 2009:43) model pengajaran langsung dapat berbentuk ceramah, demonstrasi, pelatihan, atau praktik, dan kerja kelompok. Sintaks Direct Instruction (Pengajaran Langsung) Menurut Kardi dan Nur (dalam Trianto, 2009:43) sintaks model pengajaran langsung sebagai berikut. Fase Peran Guru Guru menjelaskan Fase 1 TPK, Menyanpaikan menginformasikan tujuan latar belakang Dan pelajaran , mempersiapkan pentingnya pelajaran siswa , mempersiapkan siswa untuk belajar. Fase 2 Guru Mendemonstrasik mendemonstrasikan an pengetahuan keterampi lan dengan dan keterampilan benar , atau

menyajikan informasi tahap demi tahap. Guru merencanakan Fase 3 dan memberi Membimbing bimbingan pelatihan pelatihan awal. Mengecek apakah Fase 4 siswa telah berhasil Mengecek melakukan tugas pemahaman dan dengan baik , memberikan memberi umpan umpan balik balik. Guru mempersiapkan kesempatan Fase 5 melakukan pelatihan Memberikan lanjutan, dengan kesempatan untuk perhatian khusus pelatihan lanjutan pada penerapan dan penerapan kepada situasi lebih komplek dan kehidupan sehari – hari. Berdasarkan uraian diatas maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa: Reciprocal Direct Instruction Teaching 1. Siswa yang 1. Guru yang menjelaskan menjelaskan materi materi pembelajaran pembelajaran artinya siswa artinya siswa yang berperan masih bersifat aktif dalam pasif proses pembelajaran 2. Pengetahuan 2. Pengetahuan yang diperoleh yang diperoleh cenderung lebih dipahami mudah dilupakan dan tahan lama 3. Tindakan atau 3. Tindakan atau perilaku perilaku didasarkan oleh dibangun atas faktor diluar kesadaran diri dirinya sendiri HASIL Dengan thitung = 3,309 selanjutnya penulis konsultasikan dengan ttabel. Dengan dk = (36 + 34 – 2) = 68 diperoleh ttabel pada taraf signifikan 5% adalah 1,997. Dari nilai tersebut tampak bahwa 3,309 > 1,997. Hal ini berarti bahwa H1 diterima dan H0 ditolak. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan: Ada perbedaan
prestasi belajar siswa antara yang diajar menggunakan Reciprocal Teaching dengan prestasi belajar siswa yang diajar menggunakan Direct Instruction pada pokok bahasan turunan fungsi kelas XI SMAN 1 Pademawu Pamekasan Tahun Pelajaran 2011/2012 KESIMPULAN DAN SARAN Kesimpulan Berdasarkan hasil analisis dan penelitian yang telah dilakukan di SMAN 1 Pademawu tahun pelajaran 2011 / 2012 sebagaimana telah diuraikan pada bab sebelumnya, diperoleh rata-rata prestasi belajar matematika siswa kelas XI IPA 1 sebesar 61,889 dan rata-rata prestasi belajar matematika siswa kelas XI IPA 2 sebesar 53,618. Dari data tersebut dapat diketahui harga thitung = 3,309 dan berdasarkan tabel dengan dk = (36 + 34 – 2) = 68, pada taraf signifiksan 5% diperoleh harga ttabel = 1,997 dan Artinya thitung > tkritis, maka hipotesis nol (H0) ditolak dan hipotesis kerja (H1) diterima. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa dalam penelitian ini :Ada perbedaan prestasi belajar siswa antara yang diajar menggunakan Reciprocal Teaching dengan prestasi belajar siswa yang diajar menggunakan Direct Instruction pada pokok bahasan turunan fungsi kelas XI SMAN 1 Pademawu Pamekasan Tahun Pelajaran 2011/2012 SARAN Proses pembelajaran dengan menggunakan Reciprocal Teaching yang diterapkan dalam penelitian ini nantinya diharapkan akan memberikan manfaat.Untuk itu peneliti memberikan saran sebagai berikut : 1. Bagi mahasiswa matematika yang nantinya akan menjadi guru matematika dan ingin menggunakan Reciprocal Teaching dalam pembelajarannya, hendaknya dipahami terlebih dahulu tentang langkah-langkah Reciprocal Teaching dan materi apa saja yang sekiranya sesuai dengan pendekatan tersebut. 2. Bagi peserta didik, hendaknya lebih aktif lagi dalam mengikuti proses pembelajaran sehingga mampu mengkonstruksi pengetahuannya sendiri
