ABSTRACT Riska Alfin Pramita. K2208095. SKILL THROUGH COOPERATIVE LEARNING METHOD: STUDENT TEAMS-ACHIEVEMENT DIVISIONS (STAD) AND TEAM GAMES TOURNAMENT (TGT) (A Classroom Action Research at Eight Grade of SMPN 1 Sidorejo, Sidorejo, Magetan in the Academic of Year 2013/2014). A Thesis. English Department. Teacher Training and Education Faculty. Sebelas Maret University. Surakarta. 2014. This study aims to find out whether Students Team-Achievement Division (STAD) and Team Games Tournament (TGT) reading skill and to identify the challenges of the implementation of STAD and TGT in teaching reading at the eighth grade students of SMPN 1 Sidorejo in academic year of 2013/2014. This classroom action research was conducted from 27th July to 29th August, 2013 at the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Sidorejo. I conducted one cycle of action research and the cycle consisted of a series of steps, namely: planning the action, implementing the action, observing the action, and reflecting the observation result. The data of the research are collected through observation, interview, documents, and test. Then, the qualitative data are analyzed by assembling the data, coding the data, comparing the data, building interpretations, reporting the outcomes. The quantitative data are analyzed by comparing the mean scores of pretest and posttest. The result of the action indicates as shown in the result of both the observation on the students activity during the actions and their pre-test and post-test mean scores. The improvement of the skill includes the students are able to: (1) identify main idea, (2) infer meaning of words, (3) identify inference, (4) identify reference, and (5) determine specific information about the text. From the reading comprehension test, -test mean score was 43.77 increasing to 71.01 in the posttest. Though, there are 4 challenges during the research, they are: (1) the domination of high achiever students in the group, (2) the need to prepare different seating arrangement, material, and teaching style in every meeting, (3) It was difficult to keep students concentration in a long time, and (4) Cooperative learning are consuming a lot of time. It can be concluded that teaching reading by cooperative learning, especially STAD and TGT, could improve the. It is important to note that the preparation of appropriate lesson plan and the material based on the curriculum that make the students attracted is needed. STAD and TGT could be applied in teaching and learning process. Hopefully, by applying STAD and TGT the students can achieve the optimum reading comprehension. I hopes that what I had done will give the English teachers inspiration to conduct STAD and TGT in their classroom. Keyword: reading, cooperative learning, STAD, TGT, classroom action research

SKILL THROUGH COOPERATIVE LEARNING METHOD: STUDENT TEAMS-ACHIEVEMENT DIVISIONS (STAD) AND TEAM GAMES TOURNAMENT (TGT) (A Classroom Action Research at Eight Grade of SMPN 1 Sidorejo, Sidorejo, Magetan in Academic Year 2013/2014).

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi apakah Students Team- Achievement Division (STAD) and Team Games Tournament (TGT) dapat meningkatkan skil membaca siswa dan apa saja kesulitan yang dihadapi ketika mengimplementasikan STAD dan TGT di SMPN 1 Siderejo pada tahun ajaran 2013/1014 Penelitian tindakan kelas ini diadakan pada 27 Juli 29 Agustus 2013 terhadap siswa kelas VIII SMPN 1 Sidorejo. Saya mengadakan penelitian selama satu siklus dan siklus tersebut terdiri dari serangkaian langkah yaitu: perencanaan, implementasi, observasi, refleksi dan observasi hasi penelitian. Data dalam penelitian ini dikumpulan melalui observasi, interview, memilah dokumen dan hasil test. Data kualitatif dianalisa dengan mengumpulkan data, menandai data, membandingkan data, membangun interpretasi, dan melaporkan hasil penelitin. Sedangkan data kuantitatif dianalisis dengan membandingkan nilai rata-rata pre-tes dan post-tes. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kemampuan dan skill membaca siswa. Ini seperti yang terlihat baik dari pengamatan terhadap sikap dan perilaku siswa selama penelitian dan juga dari hasil pre-tes dan pos-tes mereka yang menunjukkan peningkatan. Peningkatan pada skil membaca siswa antara lain siswa mampu (1) mengidentifikasi gagasan utama, (2) menjelaskan makna kata atau ungkapan tertentu yang dalam teks baik tersirat maupun tersurat, (3) mengidentifikasi kesimpulan, (4) menjelaskan rujukan (reference) yang ada dalam teks, dan (5) menyebutkan informasi rinci dalam teks. Dari hasil tes juga terdapat peningkatan nilai rata-rata siswa dari 43.77 saat pre-tes menjadi 71.01 saat pos-tes. Walaupun begitu, terdapat 4 kesulitan yang dihadapi selama penelitian ini, antara lain: (1) adanya dominasi dari siswa yang lebih pandai, (2) perlunya penataan tempat duduk, materi, gaya mengajar yang berbeda setiap pertemuan, (3) sulitnya menjaga konsentrasi siswa dalam waktu yang lama, dan (4) cooperative learning memakan banyak waktu dalam pelaksanaannya. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa mengajar membaca menggunakan cooperative learning, khususnya STAD dan TGT dapat meningkatkan skil membaca siswa. Walau begitu untuk mendapatkan peningkatan pada teknik ini diperlukan rencana mengajar yang sesuai dan materi yang sesuai kurikukum dan menarik bagi. STAD dan TGT dapat digunakan dalam proses belajar mengajar. Semoga dengan penggunaan STAD dan TGT para siswa dapat mencapai hasil maksimal saat belajar membaca.
