CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of the Study
Language as a means of communication plays very important role in social
relationship among human beings. English as one of the international languages is
very important since it requires as a bridge of communication. In Indonesia,
English is one of the compulsory subjects which are taught in kindergartens,
elementary school, junior high school, senior high school and adult learners
(university) as the first foreign language.
English is the first foreign language taught to the students of elementary
school. Teaching English in the elementary school has been accepted in Indonesia
in line with the government’s plan on the nine years basic education. In teaching
learning process vocabulary at MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat, English is to
be taught as one of the local content. The aim of teaching English at MIN Slipit
Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat is to motivate them to be ready and have self confident
in learning English of education. The students of MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec.
Stabat especially grade fifth, it is learned English in the simple pattern like
vocabulary, grammar, etc since they learn it for the first time.
There are four skills in language learning, namely listening, speaking,
reading, and writing. This is line with the aim of English learning as stated in the
Education Unit Level Curriculum (Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan: KTSP
or Curriculum 2006) that is, the students should have written and spoken ability

communication. The ability to communicate is the ability to understand and
produce spoken and written text realized in the four language skills. Besides the
skills, vocabulary is one of language components that can not be separated from
language learning.
Vocabulary is one of the elements of the language that should be learnt
and taught. It will be hard to master language without mastering or understanding
certain number of vocabulary. There are some experts who give explanation about
the importance of vocabulary. (Nation, 1990: 117) argues that acquisition of an
adequate vocabulary is essential or successful second language used because
without an extensive vocabulary, students will be unable to use to structure and
function students may have learned for comprehensible communication.
Vocabulary is central to language and of critical importance to typical
language learner. Without a sufficient vocabulary, one cannot communicate
effectively or express his ideas in both oral and written form. Having a limited
vocabulary is also barrier that precludes learners from learning a foreign language.
With the vocabulary skill, the students will get a lot of ideas to speak using the
correct vocabulary.
Wilkins (1978: 79) states the importance of vocabulary for language
learning; without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary
nothing can be conveyed. This point of view is strengthened by Thornbury (2002 :
13) :
“If you spend most of your time studying grammar, your English will not improve very much . You will see most improvement if you learn more words and expressions. You can say very little with grammar, but you can say almost anything with words!”

There are many factors that make the students’ vocabulary is low. They
came from the internal factor and the external one. The internal means factors
from the inside of the students themselves such as motivation, interest,
intelligence etc., and the external is factors from outside of the students that affect
their learning process such as economic background, learning materials, and
teachers’ performance including their teaching methods.
The teaching method is assumed as the factor that causes the students’
vocabulary is low. The method used by the teacher has often been said to be the
cause of success or failure in language learning for it is ultimately the method that
determines ‘the what’ and ‘the how’ of language instructions”. It is not easy to
teach a language without using suitable method because each method has
advantages and disadvantages. Teaching English, especially vocabulary is like
teaching other social science, which needs suitable techniques and method in
order to get the successful learning. So, why it should be done the research about
teaching vocabulary related to the method that is in order to know the
effectiveness of the method in teaching vocabulary.
Teaching English to children, in this case is the MIN Slipit Desa Mangga
Kec. Stabat, she states that inadequacy of vocabulary knowledge is the main cause
of students’ school failure in language learning. It was revealed by the students’
average of second semester scores in English of MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec.
Stabat, which is considered low as presented in table 1.1:

Table 1.1 The Averages of Second Semester English Scores
School Year 2012/ 2013
(Class V)
Semester/ Class I II
V – A 50 60
V – B 55 65
From table 1.1, it can be explained that there are four different classes. The
average scores of each class are divided by the total number of the students that
results the average scores of each class of semester. Different ways are usually
applied by students to enhance their vocabulary. Most students complain that they
forget words soon after learning them.
Teacher of this level need to plan a range of activities for a given time
period, and be flexible enough to move on to the next exercises when they see his
students are getting bored. In order to make the teaching English at MIN Slipit
Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat be successful, it should be considered some factors
such as the quality of the teachers, students’ interest, motivation, and etc which
are involved together in teaching and learning process. Besides that, there are
other important factors; they are teaching technique and teaching media which
play important role.
If the teachers can not teach the adult learner properly, the students may
not enjoy their learning. Consequently, the teaching learning process may fail.
The students, teachers need appropriate methods to teach the students. The
4
5
proportions of the materials for adult learner are different from that of the young
learners. Generally that teaching material emphasize on the ability to enrich their
vocabulary of English language. The way of teaching vocabulary is not the same
as teaching vocabulary to adult learners. They have different motivation and
characteristic. It will be difficult when the teacher can not motivate adult learner
intensively. Through motivation from their teacher it will increase their interest to
learn better, so the students’ interest in learning will be same as their interest in
playing. To find out the best technique for teaching adult learner need an intensive
analysis, especially for the teacher. They should create alternative of techniques to
teach young learners in order to make them interested to what they are going to
learn and avoid boredom.
The problems were also found by the researcher as a teacher of English in
MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat. Through her observation there were still
many students faced difficulties in getting vocabularies. This problem was also
faced by the students in MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat. The researcher can
see the fact through the students’ ability in mastering vocabulary of the test
through the researcher observation and interview, the students face some
problems in mastering the vocabularies.
There are many methods used in teaching language to children. Keyword
method, it is developed by Pressley and Miller (1982), is one of methods in
teaching language that may support to realize the expected situation. Keyword
method is a mnemonic method that has been especially designed as an effective
strategy for learning foreign vocabulary (Pressley and Miller, 1982: 52).
5
6
Menemonics are techniques for remembering information that is otherwise quite
difficult to recall. The idea behind using mnemonics is to ease difficult to
remember unfamiliar words in a way that is much easier to remember.
The previous research, which was conducted by Siregar (2011), has
proven that there is a significant difference of the students’ achievement in
mastering English vocabulary by using keyword method. Besides that, the writer
also adds the method of mind map in teaching vocabulary. Mind mapping strategy
is a diagram that is used to represent words, ideas, tasks, thoughts, and numbers or
other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea in a simple
form that connects all the ideas together (Buzan, 2005: 112). Teaching vocabulary
as linguistic competence, such as note taking is ineffective. Students usually write
down the new word that comes up in class. They will write it down with the
translation next to it. Of course, writing things down is necessary if they want to
review later.
Therefore, the writer will focus in applying keyword method, mind map and
students’ motivation in teaching vocabulary for SD MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec.
Stabat in order to prove the previous research. Nevertheless, the method she used
in this study is different. By using the keyword method and mind mapping
method, it is hoped that the teacher will be able to motivate the students to learn
and pay attention to the material presented by the teacher, and finally, they are
able to master English well.

1.2 Identification of the Study
Based on the background of study above, the researcher could identify the
problem would be determined on the study, as follows:
1. The internal means factors from the inside of the students themselves such as
motivation, interest, intelligence etc., and the external is factors from outside
of the students that affect their learning process such as economic
background, learning materials, and teachers’ performance including their
teaching methods.
2. The teaching method is assumed as the factor that causes the students’
vocabulary is low. The method used by the teacher has often been said to be
the cause of success or failure in language learning for it is ultimately the
method that determines ‘the what’ and ‘the how’ of language instructions”.
3. If the teachers can not teach the adult learner properly, the students may not
enjoy their learning.
1.3 Problem of the Study
In relation to the background of the study that has been presented
previously, the problems are formulated as follows:
1. Is achievement in teaching vocabulary of MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec.
Stabat students taught by using keyword method higher than mind mapping
method?

2. Is there any different achievement in teaching vocabulary betwen students
who have low motivation and high motivation at MIN Slipit Desa Mangga
Kec. Stabat?
3. Is there any interaction between teaching methods and motivations in
vocabulary students achievement?
1.4 Objectives of the Study
The objectives of the study are to answer the research questions,
especially in the implementation of keyword method, mind mapping method and
students’ motivation in teaching vocabulary for MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat.
The main objectives of this study are :
1. To find out achievement in teaching vocabulary of MIN Slipit Desa Mangga
Kec. Stabat students taught by using keyword method higher than mind
mapping method.
2. To find the different achievement in teaching vocabulary betwen students who
have low motivation and high motivation at MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec.
Stabat.
3. To find an interaction between teaching methods and motivations in
vocabulary students achievement.
1.5 Scope of the Study
In line with the background of the study in the previous discussion, there
are some problems in teaching vocabulary at MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec.

Stabat. This study focuses on the implementation of keyword method and mind
mapping method in in teaching vocabulary at the grade fifth students, second
semester 2012/ 2013 in MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat.
1.6 Significance of the Study
The significance of the study is expected to be relevant and useful for the
students and the teachers of English theoretically and practically. Theoretically,
this study intended will contribute some advantages for theoretical knowledge to
develop teaching vocabulary at MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat, students as
well as for the teachers, and the base for further research in conducting a research
that is related to the improvement of teaching vocabulary.
Practically, this results of the study are expected provide some valuable
information for English foreign learners in overcoming their problems and
difficulties in establishsing and increasing their vocabulary. Meanwhile, this study
will provide some information for the English teachers in order to decide and
choose the best method in teaching English to develop students’ ability in
increasing the vocabulary mastery.
1.7 Operational Definition
1. Keyword method is a two-stage procedure for remembering materials that
have an associative component. Additionally, keyword method as a more
complex cognitive process than rote memorization, in which learners
proceeded through a multiple-step process to acquire vocabulary.

2. Mind mapping method is a diagram that is used to represent words, ideas,
tasks, thoughts, and numbers or other items linked to and arranged around a
central key word or idea in a simple form that connects all the ideas together.
3. Motivation as internal state or condition that activates behavior and gives it
direction, desire or want that energizes and directs goal oriented behavior, and
influence of needs and desires on the intensity and direction of behavior.
4. Vocabulary is a sum or stock of words employed by a language, group,
individually or in work, in relation to a subject.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2.1 Students’ Achievement in Vocabulary
Achievement is the act of accomplishing or finishing; something
accomplished successfully, especially by means of exertion, skill, or practice.
Djamarah (2000: 23) argues that achievement is an activity that has been done,
created, either individually or in groups. Similarly, Poerwadarminta (2003: 11)
argues that achievement is the results achieved or done. Besides, Hamalik (1994:
110) says that achievement is the result of one's attempt to transform himself by
way of obtaining new skills and the change is obtained through training and
knowledge.
From the definitions, it can be concluded that achievement is the result
achieved of an activity that already done through a hard exertion, skill, training or
practice, or knowledge either individually or in groups. Achievement is the act of
accomplishing or finishing; something accomplished successfully, especially by
means of exertion, skill, or practice.
In the teaching-learning process, students’ achievement is an indicator in
measuring the successful of study. Bloom (1956) asserts that the achievement
shows the capability development in someone which is categorized into three
aspects, namely cognitive, affective and psychomotor. The cognitive domain
involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills. This includes the
recall or recognition or specific facts, procedural patterns, and concepts that serve
11
12
in the development of intellectual abilities and skills. Cognitive covers
knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
Knowledge is the ability to recall the data or information. Comprehension
is the ability to understand and interpret the information. Application is the ability
to use and apply a concept in a new situation. Analysis is the ability to separate
the concept into component parts and distinguishes among them. Synthesis is the
ability to build a structure or pattern from diverse elements. Evaluation is the
ability to make judgments about the value of ideas or materials. The categories
can be thought of as degrees of difficulties, the first ones must be mastered before
the next ones.
The affective domain (Krathwohl, Bloom, & Masia, 1973) includes the
manner in which deals with things emotionally, such as feelings, values,
appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes. Skills in the affective
domain describe the way people react emotionally and their ability to feel another
living thing's pain or joy. Affective objectives target the awareness and growth in
attitudes, emotion, and feelings. Affective covers receiving, responding, valuing,
organizing, and characterizing. In receiving, the student passively pays attention.
In responding, the student actively participates in the learning process; not only
attends to a stimulus, but also reacts in some way. In valuing, the student attaches
a value to an object, phenomenon, or piece of information. In organizing, the
student can put together different values, information, and ideas and accommodate
12
13
them within his/her own schema; comparing, relating and elaborating on what has
been learned. In characterizing, the student holds a particular value or belief that
now exerts influence on his/her behaviour so that it becomes a characteristic.
The psychomotor domain (Simpson, 1972) includes physical movement,
coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas. Psychomotor objectives usually
focus on change and development in behavior or skills. Development of these
skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance,
procedures, or techniques in execution. Psychomotor covers perception, set,
guided response, mechanism, complex response, adaptation, and origination.
Perception is the ability to use sensory cues to guide motor activity. Set is
readiness to act. It includes mental, physical, and emotional sets. These three sets
are dispositions that predetermine a person's response to different situations.
Guided Response is the early stages in learning a complex skill that
includes imitation and trial and error. Adequacy of performance is achieved by
practicing. Mechanism is the intermediate stage in learning a complex skill.
Learned responses have become habitual and the movements can be performed
with some confidence and proficiency. Complex Overt Response is the skillful
performance of motor acts that involve complex movement patterns. Proficiency
is indicated by a quick, accurate, and highly coordinated performance, requiring a
minimum of energy. This category includes performing without hesitation, and
automatic performance. Adaptation is skill that is well developed and the
individual can modify movement patterns to fit special requirements. Origination
13
14
is the ability to create new movement patterns to fit a particular situation or
specific problem.
Learning outcomes emphasize creativity based upon highly developed
skills. An Achievement is gained from the combination of the three aspects. It can
be concluded that achievement is an indicator in measuring the successful of study
which is shown by the development of intellectual skills, the growth in attitudes,
emotions, and feelings, and the development in behavior or skills. In line with
this, it can be said that the students’ achievement in vocabulary, especially for
young learners, is the students’ ability in recalling, understanding, interpreting,
and using vocabulary which is shown by their attitudes in receiving and
responding it mentally, physically, and emotionally.
2.1.1 The Nature of Vocabulary
The word vocabulary simply means a list of words Flexner (2001: 41).
The vocabulary of the English language contains more than a million words,
many of them scientific. About 200,000 of these are in common use. Flexner
(2001: 41) an American lexicographer says that the average well-read person
probably knows roughly 20,000 words, but uses only about 1,500 to 2,000 in a
conversation. According to him, vocabulary is the knowledge of words and words
meaning. Stahl (2005: 121) states that, vocabulary knowledge is the knowledge of
a word not only implies a definition, but also implies how that word fits into the
word.
14
15
Vocabulary is a sum or stock of words employed by a language, group,
individually or in work, in relation to a subject (Finocchiaro, 1974: 73). One who
masters enough vocabulary will find fewer difficulties than those who have fewer
vocabularies. When they read a certain text, they will easily get the information
from it since they can understand every word in the text. Mastery of vocabulary
will be useful for the process of achieving language skills (Listening, Speaking,
Reading, and Writing).
According to Murcia (1978: 242) Vocabulary is a cultural phenomenon as
well as a linguistic one, that students must learn the social meanings of words in a
foreign language, not just the equivalent word in their native tongue. In addition
Kamil & Hiebert (2007: 29) in their article, they broadly define; vocabulary is
knowledge of words and word meanings. However, vocabulary is more complex
than this definition suggests.
Vocabulary is words whose meanings people know or do not know; the
number of meanings people know of a particular word. (Crawley & Merritt :
2000). Vocabulary is important, it means that vocabulary is the basic needs that
has to be had by the students themselves. They will find it difficult to speak up
without having many vocabularies as it is difficult to understand someone else
speaking. Moreover, vocabulary will let them know about a culture education by
looking at its meaning, where vocabularies product learned is completely different
from Indonesian language. Vocabulary is the fundamental part of language, which
is used in any situation either; it is in the form of spoken or written language.
15
16
Mastering vocabulary is an important and should be developed by a learner,
without having enough vocabulary; it would be hard to convey the ideas or
opinion. River (2002: 125) says “vocabulary is essential for successful second
language use because, without an extensive vocabulary, we will be unable to use
structure and functions, we may have learned for comprehensible communication.
Vocabulary is a core component of language proficiency and provides much of
the basis for how well learners speak, listen, read and write (River, 2002: 255.
Therefore develop learners’ progress in understanding English, learners should
keep on learning new vocabulary items every day. It means that the development
of a rich vocabulary is an important element in the acquisition of a second
language.
Besides that, Schmitt (2000: 151) argues that “vocabulary is systematically
recycled and added to as the reader works through the series”. It means that
learning vocabulary is a cyclical process of meeting new words and initial
learning, followed by meeting those words again, each time extending knowledge
of what the mean and how the tone used in the foreign language. In this case, the
learner has to know what a word sounds like (its pronunciation) and what it looks
like (it spelling). These are fairly obvious characteristics, and one or the other will
be perceived by the learner when encountering the item for the first time. In
teaching, we need to make sure that both these aspects are accurately presented
and learned.
Talking about vocabulary, it can be concluded that vocabulary is the
knowledge of words and word meanings. It is about the words in language used to
16
17
express meaning. Therefore, learning vocabulary is a crucial matter in developing
their English.
To get further, writer took in an article Young Mind (Young, 2007), a
writer and publisher of article vocabulary explains that vocabulary is the study of:
a. The meanings of words
b. How the words are used
c. Word Decoding
d. Analogies
e. Antonym
f. Synonym
2.1.2 The Meaning of Words
In language, a word is the smallest element that may be uttered in isolation
with semantic or pragmatic content (with literal or practical meaning). This
contrasts with a morpheme, which is the smallest unit of meaning but will not
necessarily stand on its own. A word may consist of a single morpheme (for
example: oh!, rock, red, quick, run, expect), or several (rocks, redness, quickly,
running, unexpected), whereas a morpheme may not be able to stand on its own as
a word (in the words just mentioned, these are -s, -ness, -ly, -ing, un-, -ed). A
complex word will typically include a root and one or more affixes (rock-s, red-
ness, quick-ly, run-ning, un-expect-ed), or more than one root in a compound
(black-board, rat-race). Words can be put together to build larger elements of
Researcher writes the names of vocabulary above on the whiteboard including
the meaning and says the names of the words by the students to say properly.
The researcher gives some corrections if there are students making mistakes in
saying or pronouncing words.
Step 3
Researcher begins to explain the material and gives them some questions
orally, based on material. In order to know that the students have understood
the narrative text well. Then the students asked to close their textbook and
notebook.
Step 4
Researcher telss the students that they will have a fun activity in the class.
Researcher distributes the worksheet containing some words to all students.
Researcher asks the students to fill in the blanks with their own words that
have similarity to the target words as a key to remember the words, they have
to finish it in several minutes, and researcher limites the time because it
challenges the students and makes competitive situation.
Step 5
The teacher collects the worksheet when the fifth grade of SD Negeri 064036
Kecamatan Medan have finished thir work, then she asks the students’ one by
one about the meaning of the target word according to each students’
worksheet by mention their own words. The teacher takes the score each
students by mentioning the names.
And the steps to use keyword method can be described as follows:
41
42
1. Define the target words and its meaning
fat = gemuk
2. Think of the association for the target words
Say; to help the students remember the meaning of the word fat, the
students are asked to remember one of their teacher is named Fatimah. To
make them remember the words make abbreviation of the teachers name
into Bu Fat berbadan gemuk.
3. Link the association and the meaning of the target words
Bu Fat berbadan gemuk.
4. And the last, recall the meaning of the target words.
Tell the students when they see a Fat person they should first think of Bu
Fat and then try to remember the picture of the words meaning.
Commonly, keyword methods are verbal, such as a very short poem or a
special word used to help person remember something, but may be visual,
kinethetic or auditory. Keyword method rely on associations between easy to
remember constructs that can be related back to the data that is to be remembered.
This is based on the principle that the human mind much more easily remembers
spatial, personal, surprising, sexual, humorous, or otherwise meaningful
information than arbitrary sequences.
Another sample of keyword method can desrcibed, such as:
1. Define the target words and its meaning
sofa = sofa (tempat duduk)
2. Think of the association for the target words
42
43
Say; to help the students remember the meaning of the word sofa, the
students are asked to remember one of their teacher is named Sopha. To
make them remember the words make abbreviation of the teachers name
into Bu Sopha sedang duduk di sofa (Mrs. Sopha is sitting on the sofa.
3. Link the association and the meaning of the target words
Bu Sopha sedang duduk di sofa.
4. And the last, recall the meaning of the target words.
Tell the students when they see a sofa person they should first think of Bu
Sopha and then try to remember the picture of the words meaning.
Based on the exxample above, the researcher has a keyword method in
teaching vocabulary, like as; the material is “things in the classroom”. Researcher
used acronym of pencil, alphabet, pen, eraser, and ruler. We can described:
Pencil
Alphabet
Pen
Eraser
Ruler
Avila and Sadoski (1996: 380) gives two versions of Keyword method one
on the construction of visual images and the other on the construction of
sentences. The most common version of the technique based on the construction
of interactive visual images. Pressley and Delaney (1882: 70) demonstrates how
both these versions can be used, for example, the Spanish word carta meaning
43
44
postal (letter). Using the keyword cart, a learner might generate an image the cart
carries the letter.
Through on the theory of keyword method in teaching vocabulary,
students who use keyword method five gain strengthness in the long run (Pressley
and Miller, 1982: 54), they are:
1. First, they can memorize lists of facts more efficiently, freeing their minds for
tasks that involve thought and creativity.
2. Secondly, because they are good at remembering facts, they can develop a
strong base of information to draw on when reasoning and solving problems.
3. Keyword method is fun tools to help remind you of word sequence. It is much
easier to remember short phrases than fully comprehend the full volume of
work these devices represent.
4. Keyword method is also an effective strategy for increasing student
comprehension test scores in Language Arts and Science. On average,
students who have been trained in keyword method outperform students
without training on comprehension exams.
5. By using keyword method, spectacular displays of memory have been
demonstrated with results that have specific applications to educational
settings.
Pressley and Miller (1982: 54) states keyword method can be influenced to
students as the weakness of keyword method, such as:
1. They must be recited and practiced in a precise manner in order to work
correctly.
44
45
2. They require time to create, learn, and practice.
3. They require time to create, learn, and practice.
4. They rely more on rote memory than on elaborative rehearsal, so your actual
understanding of the concepts may be inadequate.
Beginning of standards competence in the worksheet when the fifth grade
of MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat, researcher will demonstrate the use of
the keyword method in syllabus as follows:
Standard of Competence : Listening, speaking, reading, and writing 1. To understand transactional/ instruction in saying things in the classroom and home easily.
Basic Competence : 1.1 To respond transactional/ instruction saying things in the classroom and home easily
Indicator : 1. To respond in saying things in the classroom and home easily

- Teacher gives individual assignments to the students.
Based on the explanation above, we concluded that the keyword method is
the most effective and adaptable keyword method. It is effective because it
increases concreteness and meaningfulness of newly obtained information. It also
connects the new information to prior knowledge. The keyword method enhances
learning of both concrete and abstract vocabulary, as measured by tests of both
recall and comprehension. Deep word knowledge learning is accomplished by
helping students to link new word meanings to prior knowledge, providing
multiple practice opportunities to aid students’ retention of the new vocabulary,
and by engaging students in meaningful, memorable ways that require
applications of word meanings across situations.
2.4.2 Mind Mapping Method
Mind mapping method is a diagram that is used to represent words, ideas,
tasks, thoughts, and numbers or other items linked to and arranged around a
central key word or idea in a simple form that connects all the ideas together
(Buzan, 2005: 112). Teaching vocabulary as linguistic competence, such as note
taking is ineffective. Students usually write down the new word that comes up in
47
48
class. They will write it down with the translation next to it. Of course, writing
things down is necessary if they want to review later.
However, at the end of one lesson, the students have some pages of new
words that are completely at random, for example, lecturer, happy, gun, gloat,
keyboard, violet, and ect. It is impossible to retain a list of words like this. Even if
they tried to memorize them because they are irrevelant to each and make it
difficult to remember them but mind mapping method provides the learning
solution.
According to Windura (2008: 52) states mind mapping method is an aid to
recall of existing memories. For example, the students acquire some new English
words and later retrieve the words they learned when needed. Given (2002: 54)
ensures that students are easier to memorize new words when they are classified
based on specific characteristics such as colors, pictures, genre, field, variet, and
ect. It will help the students understand the new words they learned because they
are displayed into a map.
Windura (2008: 55) also explains that mind mapping method could be an
important and effective asset to anyone who wants to learn a language because it
can enhance and retain the foreign vocabulary by exploiting the brain ability for
learning purpose. When students use language activities, such as writing, reading,
speaking, and listening means they are using their left side of their brain. In
another word, left brain is short term memory that is easy to forget. On the other
hand, right hemisphere related to picture, cloro, rhyme, gestalt, dimension,
imagination and daydreaming. Right hemisphere is long term memory that is
48
49
longer in retention, for example, it is easier to remember someone’s face than her/
his name. Face is a picture but name is a word.
Most students are much depended on writing, taking note, listening
teacher’s explanation in their learning strategy. Many activities in language
learning use left hemisphere. Right hemisphere is rarely used since playing music,
drawing, painting, ect are as extra curricular activities at schools in Indonesia.
In conclusion, more activities use left hemisphere than right hemisphere
and as the result imbalance on the usage both of the two sides of brains. This
imbalance causes left hemisphere works inefficiently. Many students have studied
in hours, reading, writing, memorization, ect but they do not understand what they
study because they are rote learning that means they do not involve their right
hemisphere in their learning activity.
There are basic principle of mind mapping method according Buzan
(2005: 112), can be applied; the main topic of the mind mapping method is
summarized as a central image, word or phrase, the main themes of the subject
radiate from the central image as branches, branches comprise of a key word,
image or topic presented on an associated line they divide out into further higher
level sub branches, and the branches and sub branches from a connected structure.
To aid the design of mind mapping method can be shown write topics, to
mind the material, present for discussing, putting information, and list of the
words. The steps of the using mind mapping method in teaching vocabulary for
students’ MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat as below:
49
50
1. First, researcher writes the topic of piece of writing in ahort form in the
middle of the board, for example things in the classroom and home.
2. Second, the students of MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat in the fifth grade
are asked to think of other words that come to mind when they read the key
word. It is also appropriate for the students to write down a list of these words
to be shared with their class.
3. Third, the students share their recorded words, if any of the teacher’s new
words are not suggested, the researcher presents them for discussion.
4. Fourth, after the list of the words is completed, the words are grouped by
category. Then, students discuss why certain words go together. Category
names are assigned.
5. Fifth, a class mapp of the words is created by putting the information on a
large sheet of paper. And then, the map is discussed. At this time, students are
encouraged to add items to the categories or even to suggest new categories.
6. And the last, as other new words that relate to the topic are discovered through
the reading of the text, additions are made to the map.
50
51
According to (Buzan, 2005: 114) to compare with linear methods of taking
notes and recording ideas mind mapping method have the following strengthness:
1) They allow a large number of complex ideas to be compressed into a single
page.
2) Mind mapping method is created in an organic and flexible way links can be
drawn between any items or sections. New ideas can be added in any
direction, so they are good for brainstorming.

3) Because it mirrors the way in which the brain works and incorporates colour,
visual images and compressed ideas, a mind mapping method is much easier
to memorise and recall than a linear list.
4) Mind mapping method can interest in the student, thus making more receptive
and cooperative in the classroom.
5) Mind mapping method present only relevant material in a clear and
memorable form the students tend to get better marks in examinations.
Mind mapping method can be shown of the weakness in teaching
vocabulary, such as:
1. It can not cut "chunks of notes" to paste into an essay, but what information
you do use from your mind mapping method will sound like your own work
and ideas.
2. You may want to redraw the maps later, but that shall help you remember the
material.
3. Your map may be so personal it could be difficult for others to understand.
mind mapping method are a great help when preparing essays and
presentations, but they may be inappropriate as the final piece of work.
However, mind mapping method can avoid the problems on learning
which only dominantly function on one side of brain, left hemisphere. Using both
sides the brain substantially increases the brainpower and memory. The way brain
works naturally tends in the form of picture or image than written or spoken
verbal language. In fact, almost everything around the student is in the form of
written or spoken verbal language. Such as book, note, hand books, teacher’s
52
53
explanation of the lesson. Mind mapping method uses many pictures and use both
of brain’s sides along together in balance. In this syllabus of mind mapping
method as follow:
Standard of Competence : Listening, speaking, reading, and writing 1. To understand transactional/ instruction in saying things in the classroom and home easily.
Basic Competence : 1.1 To respond transactional/ instruction saying things in the classroom and home easily

7. Post activities- Students with the teacher
makes the summary of the material today.
- Teacher tells about the material for next meeting.
- Teacher gives individual assignments to the students.
Mind mapping method work based on imagination and association
(Buzan, 2005: 18). Mind mapping strategy works the same as brain works and it is
in accordance with the natural need of brain because it uses word to trigger
imagination and association, for example, if we think about the word things in the
classroom and home, our brain will imagine many kind of colorful fruits and
associate the colors with the taste of fruit, not the letter of fruit. This happens
because the brain works by using mental pictures completed with link and
associatio derived from it.
Mind mapping method is a simple and natural, it can be drawn by hand,
either as rough notes during studying. This involves writing a single word, the
theme, in the centre of the page and linking words that go with it. Mind map is
even more effective if student adds little drawings and lots of color since brain
likes to be entertained (Buzan, 2005: 22).
Both keyword method and mind mapping method are specifically
designed for acquiring, remembering and recalling newly and existing vocabulary,
the difference of the two techniques can be seen on the table 2.1.
Table 2.1 The Differences between Keyword Method and
54
55
Mind Mapping Method
Teaching Strategies
Keyword Method Mind Mapping Method
- It is an effective technique to
memorize the unfamiliar word into
its sound and imagination.
- It helps students to remember by
connecting a foreign word to its
mother tongue translation through
the mediation of a keyword.
- It makes use of acoustic and
imaginary links. The foreign word
is linked to a keyword by a
similiarity in sound (acoustic link),
and the keyword is linked to the
foreign words translation by mental
image (imaginary link).
- It helps the students to enchance,
understand, remember and recall
vocabulary existed in the memory.
It also processes the information not
only in the working memory but
- It is the technique for vocabulary
acquisition and retention into
visual link by categorizing word
into its group.
- It helps students to remember by
linking words and images in an
intuitive way.
- It has a natural organizational
structure that radiates word from
the center with further
subcategories until an exit is
found by using lines, symbols,
words, color and images.
- In converts a long list of
monotonous word into a colorful,
memorable and highly organized
diagram that works in line with
the brain’s natural way. Some
55
56
deeper into the long term memory
so it can produce long term results,
that is the ability to retrieve the
vocabulary after a prolonged period.
The students with auditory and
visual learning style can absorb the
words learnt easily.
students are visually oriented and
using words, color, and images
will balance left and right brain
thinking.
In the summary mind map is an activity that might be very familiar with
those who understand that they are visual learners, though it could help many of
us. Mind mapping method could be a very effective way for us to develop a more
efficient process to develop our ideas. Students, entrepreneurs, and group leaders
can use this tool to learn, develop business plans, and even break down group
projects visually. There are lots of ways to learn and remember information.
2.5 Students’ Motivation
Educational and psychological research has identified several factors that
play a role in predicting adolescent motivation such as family background,
individual characteristics, and school experience. Furthermore, parental level of
education, parental educational expectations and encouragement, school climate,
and teacher’s educational expectations and support, transition from elementary to
the middle school can all have an affect on motivation.
Franken (2000: 94) describes that motivation as internal state or condition
that activates behavior and gives it direction, desire or want that energizes and
56
57
directs goal oriented behavior, and influence of needs and desires on the intensity
and direction of behavior. Franken (2000: 95) provides an additional component
in his definition; the arousal, direction, and persistence of behavior.
Motivation can be described as behaviors that illustrate interest,
enthusiasm, appreciation, or dedication. Motivation in general, is the process that
plays a major role in an individual’s choice of and continued engagement in
particular activities (Gredler, 2005: 114). According to Urdan and Schoenfelder
(2006: 67) say that teachers describe students who simply lack motivation and
often attribute these motivational deficiencies to causes that are beyond their
control such as poor parenting or weak personality characteristics. Also, teachers
often see individuals as semi autonomous beings with stable personalities that are
resistant to environmental influences.
In teaching learning process, there are some elements which affect
learning motivation. The elements that affect motivation to learn are: (1) the ideals
or aspirations of students; motivation to learn appears on the students’ desire since
chilhood such as walking, reading, singing, the success of that desire will lead to
aviable and increase the willingness and enthuasiasm for learning in achieving the
goals that strengthen than motivation to learn beacuse it will realize the ideals of
self actualization, (2) the ability of students; the desire of students accompanied
by ability, (3) the students’ condition include physical and psychological, (4) the
environmental condition.
According to Urdan and Schoenfelder (2006: 67) there are two different
types of motivation among students; intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation.
57
58
Intrinsic or autonomous motivation means that a student shows self determination,
curiosity, challenge, and effort. Instrinsic motivation comes from inside the
students, such as low motivation. Students who are instrinsically motivated
engage in many activities.
Extrinsic or controlled motivation involves external incentives for the
students to do well such as rewards and punishments. In contrast, extrinsic
motivation comes from outside the students. The ouside factors same of high
motivation, such as watching television, reading books, teachers method, parents,
rewards, or punishment. The ways to motivate students are: give the praise of the
students who give the right answer, reduce critique that can extinguish students’
motivation, make a good competition among the students, and make coorperation
among students.
Kashdan (2009: 71) identified some characteristic of students with high
motivation toward learning, they are: 1) students always interested in new things
and prosessing an open receptive attitude toward whatever is the target of
attention, 2) students will devote more attention to an activity, process
information more deeply, remember information better, and are more like likely to
persit on tasks until the goals are met, 3) students will have the ability to
effectively cope with or make sense of the novelty, ambiguity and uncertainty
being confronted during explorations, 4) students like to express the exploration
as the willingness to embrace the novel, uncertain, and unpredictable nature of
everyday life, 5) students like is spending time with novel stimuli is exposed to
58
59
some degree of information and experience, 6) students actively seeking
understanding about something that unknown.
Meanwhile characteristics of students with low motivation toward learning
are: 1) students have sequencing difficulties are evidence in a failure to grasp time
concept, 2) students will lose track of assignments and attendance and struggle to
concentrate, 3) students have experience cognitive confussion in the presence of
distructing stimuli, demonstrate poor organizational skills, and find it hard to
refocus after loosing concentration, 4) students have low interest in non
participation in class activity, 5) students have difficulty to solve the problems
that puzzle them, 6) less of the sense of wondering and challenging to explore an
uncertainty.
2.6 Conceptual Framework
2.6.1 The Different Effect of Keyword Method and Mind Mapping Method
Strategy on Students’ Vocabulary Achievement
In order to achieve student’s competence and oriented to a good learning
results, keyword method and mind mapping method are very good to be applied in
vocabulary learning. The method is based on the importance of working together
to solve the problem. Each individual in the group has the responsibility to resolve
the problems faced. Besides, this method also teaches students learn to give,
accept and respect the rights of others.
In keyword method the students working in teams and each team must
ensure that asks the students to find out the difficult names of day that the do not
59
60
memorize. After that, the researcher asks the students to find out difficult names
or vocabulary. The researcher gives some corrections if there are students making
mistakes in saying or pronouncing words. In order to know that the students have
understood the narrative text well. Then the students asked to close their textbook
and notebook. To finish it in several minutes, and researcher limites the time
because it challenges the students and makes competitive situation, then she asks
the students’ one by one about the meaning of the target word according to each
students’ worksheet by mention their own words.
These methods are generally aimed at improving student achievement,
because in addition to improving students' cognitive aspect, this method can also
enhance affective and psychomotor aspects such as the motivation, leadership,
independence, responsibility, value of mutual cooperation, willingness to give and
receives the opinions of others student, productivity, and activity.
The second method that can improve and enhance student learning
outcomes is mind mapping method. It concepts are writing the topic of piece of
writing in ahort form in the middle of the board. Appropriate for the students to
write down a list of these words to be shared with their class. The students share
their recorded words, if any of the teacher’s new words are not suggested, the
researcher presents them for discussion. And then, students discuss why certain
words go together. Category names are assigned.
If related to vocabulary learning outcomes, it is suspected that the keyword
method will more enhance student learning outcomes in vocabulary compared by
using mind mapping method. Based on this description, it can be predicted that
60
61
vocabulary achievement which are taught by using keyword method is higher than
vocabulary achievement which is taught by using mind mapping method.
2.6.2 The Different Effect of High and Low Motivation on Students’
Vocabulary Achievement
Learning vocabulary needs stimulation. Motivation can be stimulation. It
is important to arouse, sustain, and increase the students’ curiosity, interest and
achievement in learning. There are four major dimensions of motivation: a)
arousing and sustaining the learners’ curiosity and interest, b) making instruction
relevant to the learners’ personal needs and goals, c) enabling the learner to have a
successful experience, and d) helping the learner to have a satisfying experience
through intrinsic and extrinsic rewards.
Both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation can be an inside and outside
stimulation. Intrinsic motivation occurs when students are internally motivated to
do the best for their own teams. On the other hand, extrinsic motivation occurs
when students are externally motivated to get reward as a Super Team, Great
Team, or Good Team. High or low the motivation that students have, affects on
their learning result. In what level their motivation is, can be seen from their
characteristic. The students who have high motivation shows the characteristics:
(1) display interest in activities, (2) feel self-efficacious, (3) expend effort to be
succeed, (4) persist at tasks, (5) typically use effective task, cognitive, and self-
regulatory strategies to learn, (6) and have high confidence in learning.
61
62
Moreover, the students who have high motivation tend to like the
challenges. For them, a challenge must be faced well. In general, they can
complete the challenge well. Likewise, the settlement of problems in learning,
they tend to show better in solving the problem. The students with high
motivation to learn are more creative and active in learning. They do not only
prefer working individually, but also working in groups. High confidence makes
them more eager to follow the lessons.
In contrast, the students who have low motivation show the characteristics:
(1) do not have interest in activities, (2) feel shy and tend not to do something, (3)
there is no effort to be success, and (4) do not persist at tasks. Further, they lack of
confidence in making decision, nothing can be done to the environment. In
learning process, students who have low motivation tends to be quiet, there have
not any opinion. If they meet problems, they solve it with pessimism. The students
with low motivation are less creative in learning. It makes them less successful in
any learning. In connection with the description, it can be it can be assumed that
the students’ achievement with high motivation will be higher than the students’
achievement with low motivation.
2.6.3 The Interaction between the Keyword Method, Mind Mapping Method,
and Motivation on Students’ Vocabulary Achievement
Mastering vocabulary is a cognitive process that the result can be seen in
concrete. By mastering vocabulary, the student will have ability to speak, read,
and write. Vocabulary mastery has a close relationship with teaching methods.
62
63
Appropriate teaching methods will be able to make students active, able to foster
creativity, and can create a fun learning. If students have fun learning atmosphere,
then the expected outcome will be better. Therefore the more appropriate teaching
methods implemented, the more vocabulary is reached.
It can be understood that keyword method can change the monotony of
cooperative learning situations to be more active-interactive. This is a two ways of
learning, teacher and student-centered. However, students are more active than
teachers. The teacher is active as well as the students when demonstrate the lesson
in class presentation. But after the class presentation finished, the students will be
more active, and the role of teacher in learning here is as a facilitator, who
attempts to guide/direct the students. It can be said that student centered is more
dominant than teacher centered. As a result, learning will be more active, more
fun and more challenging for students, such as creative thinking, express thoughts,
and solve problems independently, and so on.
The using of keyword method brings in relaxation and fun for students,
thus help them learn and retain new words more easily. The learning involves
friendly competition and it keeps students interested. It creates the motivation for
students of English to get involved and participate actively in the learning
activities. It also brings real world context into the classroom. Through
experiences which situation in which a language is used by the students, they will
be easy to learn and use the language. Therefore it can enhance students' use of
English in a flexible and communicative way.
63
64
A student with high motivation has a high desire to be success in learning
and s/he has a high IQ too. With a high desire and IQ, student will be able to
develop his thinking, able to motivate himself to more actively discover
knowledge. They will be challenged to learn to be independent, and ultimately,
students are richer in knowledge, new knowledge. From the description, it can be
predicted that a student with high motivation will get more vocabulary when she/
he is taught by using keyword method. It is due to the students who have a very
high motivation have the same characteristic with keyword method. For students
who have a high motivation, keyword method will be more attracting them,
because it challenges them to develop their knowledge. They will attempt to
discover new knowledge, analyze, solve their own problems with the help of
teachers, and compete with others. Students who have high motivation, they will
feel bored, because they have to be patient waiting for his friends that have low
motivation and skill.
This condition is different from the students who have low motivation.
The main issue for them is the ability to recall what was taught. In connection
with their characteristics, they found difficulties to be active in keyword method.
It is caused by the keyword method demands the students to be able to answer the
questions spontaneously, quickly, and correctly. They are better in mind mapping
class. On the other hand, the students who have low motivation were better taught
by using mind mapping. It is caused by their characteristic was the same with
mind mapping, they will get more information and knowledge from team and
teacher.
64
65
Therefore, it is believed that the result of learning will increase.
Conversely, if they are taught by using keyword method, they will lead to
saturation and loss of self confidence, because they are not able to find
themselves, less able to develop his creativity, and can not be active, interactive
learning in the vocabulary. With reference to the description, it is clear that
keyword method is better applied to the students who have a high motivation.
Otherwise, mind mapping method is exactly better applied to the students who
have low motivation. Thus, it is assumed that there is an interaction between the
teaching methods with media and motivation in giving effect to the results of
student vocabulary.
2.7 Hypotheses
Based on the theoretical and conceptual framework above, hypotheses can
be drawn which will be scientifically examined and researched as follows:
1. Keyword Method and Mind Mapping Method the most significantly affect
the Students’ achievement in vocabulary.
2. Low and high motivation significantly affect Students’ achievement in
vocabulary.
3. There is a significant interaction between keyword method, mind mapping
method; and motivation to students’ vocabulary achievement.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
3.1 Research Design
The applied design in this study was quasi - experimental research. It was
used due to the tratment class in this research is a formerly formed class or
without changing the class situation and condition which had been formed
previously. This is supported by Wiersma (1991:135) who conveys that quasi-
experimental research involves the us of intact groups of subject in an experiment.
The research design use in this study was a 2 by 2 factorial (simple
factorial ddesign). In a single 2 by 2 factorial design, information can be gained
about the effects of each of two treatments and the effect of two levels withon
each treatment, and the interaction of the treatment.
This study was aimed to find out the effect of the two independent
variables on the dependent variables. The first independent variables were the
teaching methods, namely Keyword Method (KM) and Mind Mapping (MM). The
second independent variable was motivation, which also has two levels of low and
high motivations. Meanwhile the dependent variable was the students’
achievement in vocabulary. Thus, the design of this study was presented as in
µA1 = The result of students who are taught by using Keyword Method (KM).µA2 = The result of students who are taught by using Mind Mapping (MM).µB1 = The result of students who have a high motivation.µB2 = The result of students who have a low motivation.µA1B1 = The result of students who are taught by KM on students with
high motivation.µA2B2 = The result of students who are taught by using MM on students
with high motivation.µA1B2 = The result of students who are taught by KM on students with
low motivation.µA2B2 = The result of students who are taught by using MM on students
with low motivation.
3.2 Time and Place of the Study
The study was conducted at MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat. It was
done on July until September 2012. Length of the time for the treatment is 2 x 45
minutes. The treatment was concucted eight meetings in a month. The time for the
experiments were based on the schedule at the school.
67
68
3.3 Population and Sample
3.3.1 Population
The population of this study was the students of MIN Slipit Desa Mangga
Kec. Stabat. These students study in the second semester of the fifth grade. The
students consist of 60 students in two classes.
3.3.2 Sample
The sample constitutes a representative cross section of induviduals in the
population (Ary, 1979:130). To determine the sample, cluster random sampling
technique was applied. Having done the technique, Grade V was selected as
sample. To choose the treatment class, purposive sampling technique was applied.
The Grade VA was chosen as the experiment class taught by using KM. The
Grade VB was chosen as the experiment class taught by using MM.
3.4 Research Variables
The variables in this research are :
1. Independent variables ; the independent variables are teaching methods,
namely Keyword Method (KM), Mind Mapping (MM) and motivation
- Teaching Methods is the main variable
- Motivation is the moderator variable
2. Dependent variable, the dependent variable is the students’ vocabulary
achievement.
68
69
3.5 Validity and Reliability
In relation to this study, the research will use content validity to establish
the validity of vocabulary test. In this case, the writer will take this kind of
validity as the instrument because it refers to the extent to which the 60 items of
vocabulary test represents the content of interest to measure what should be
measured.
The reliability of a measuring instrument is the degree of consistency with
which it measures whatever it is measuring. This quality is essential in any kind of
measurement. Therefore, this study is required to obtain the reliability of test by
applying this formulation as below:
r=n
n−1.
Sx−∑ P . Q
Sx
Where:
r = reliability of the testn = total item testSx = total of varianceP = the proportion of subjects who answered correctly (those who get
the score 1)Q = the proportion of subjects who answer incorrectly (those who
get the score 0)
3.6 The Procedure of Data Collection
The students will be divided into three groups before doing treatment in
order to collect the data. Two groups are experimental groups and one another is
control group. The steps of procedures in collecting the data are; preparation,
pretest, treatment, and posttest.
69
70
3.7 Procedure of Giving Treatment
3.7.1 Teaching Vocabulary by Using Keyword Method
One of the experimental groups (A) will be treated by using keyword
method. This group will be taught many new words on vocabulary at MIN Slipit
Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat especially grade fifth. The researcher will enter and
open the class by greeting the students, asks them how they are doing and checks
the students’ attendance list. After that, before the lesson shorted, the researcher
will ask the chairman of the class to lead the students for praying together.
The researcher will lead the students to the topic that will be discussed by
showing the pictures of “what is this” story, the researcher asks the students like
as; “do you know what is this?”, “can spell it?”, “can you mention them!”. For
step 1, researcher will ask the students to open textbook, she reads a text about
“days” by reading aloud, repeated by students. After that the researcher will ask
the students to find out the difficult names of things in the classroom and home
that the do not memorize, but finding out difficult names or vocabulary example;
blackboard, desk, knife, egg pot, table and envelope , that they do not memorize.
Step 2, researcher will write the names of vocabulary above on the whiteboard
including the meaning and says the names of the words by the students to say
properly. The researcher will give some corrections if there are students making
mistakes in saying or pronouncing words. In step 3, begins to explain the material
and gives them some questions orally, based on material.
In order to know that the students have understood the narrative text well.
Then the students asked to close their textbook and notebook. Researcher (step 4)
70
71
will tell the students that they will have a fun activity in the class. Researcher
distributes the worksheet containing some words to all students. To fill in the
blanks with their own words that have similarity to the target words as a key to
remember the words, they have to finish it in several minutes, and researcher
limites the time because it challenges the students and makes competitive
situation. And step 5 researcher will collect the worksheet when the fifth grade of
MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat have finished thir work, and then she will
ask the students’ one by one about the meaning of the target word according to
each student’s worksheet by mention their own words. The teacher will be took
the score each students by mentioning the names.
3.7.2 Teaching Vocabulary by Using Mind Mapping Method
The second experimental group will be treated by using mind mapping
method, researcher will write the topic of piece of writing in ahort form in the
middle of the board, for example things in the classroom and home. Students of
MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat in the fifth grade are asked to think of other
words that come to mind when they read the key word. It is also appropriate for
the students to write down a list of these words to be shared with their class.
Students can be shared their recorded words, if any of the teacher’s new words are
not suggested, the researcher presents them for discussion. After the list of the
words is completed, the words are grouped by category. Then, students will
discuss why certain words go together. Category names are assigned. For the class
mapping of the words is created by putting the information on a large sheet of
71
72
paper. And then, the map is discussed. At this time, students are encouraged to
add items to the categories or even to suggest new categories. And the last, as
other new words that relate to the topic are discovered through the reading of the
text, additions are made to the mapping.
3.7.3 Influence of Low and High Motivation in Teaching Vocabulary
In this program of influencing high motivation to teaching vocabulary will
better prepare themselves to engage the process of teaching and learning in the
classroom. Teachers, parents or observer will be easy to recognize student with
high motivation to learn and will also be easy to differ them with one with low
motivation. Students with high motivation will prefer to read more books, ask
many questions to teachers, do the exercises, expose themselves to English
language using, trying to use their English skill to communicate with others, or
happily engage in the process of teaching and learning English.
Meanwhile, students with low motivation usually have no strong will to
engage in the process of teaching vocabulary. They rarely ask questions even
though they do not understand the subject. They will have to be forced by teacher
or parents to read the book, do the exercises, and or do the tasks from teacher.
Students with low motivation usually assume English subject as a difficult or even
the most difficult subject to be learned.
The low or high motivation to teaching vocabulary finally influenced the
result of teaching vocabulary. The higher motivation will result in higher
achievement, while the lower one will also result the lower achievement. It means
72
73
that the high motivation has encouraged and supported students to put all of their
effort to master English subject. It leads them to get better result in the test or
examination. Intrinsically motivated students do much better in classroom
activities, because they are willing and eager to learn new things. Their learning
experience is more meaningful and they go deeper into the subject to fully
understand it.
3.8 Technique and Instrument of Data Colection
In this research, there are two kinds of data ; they are students’ vocabulary
achievement and students’ motivation. The techniques applied in this research are
test, both achievement test and questionnaire.
3.8.1 Achievement Test
The conceptual definition of achievement test is an exam designed to
assess how much knowledge a person has in a certain area or set of areas.
Achievement tests are often used in an operational definition to determine what
level of instruction for which a student is prepared. High achievement scores
usually indicate a mastery of grade-level material, and the readiness for advanced
instruction. Low achievement scores can indicate the need for remediation or
repeating a course grade.
In this achievement tests there are specification of achievement test as
follow:
1. The construction of scales for achievement test
Table 4.7 shows that there are 14 students (77%) who have score above
the Mean (20) and 4 students (27%) who have score under the Mean.

From the data, the highest score of the students’ vocabulary achievement
taught by using Mind Mapping Method with low motivation is 23, whereas the
lowest score is 13. The mean is 19. The mode is 20. The standard deviation is
2.95. Then, the result of the students’ score in vocabulary taught by using Mind
Mapping Method with low motivation is described in table 4.8 and histogram 4.8.

4.2 The Test Requirement of Analysis of Variance
4.2.1 Normality Test
The normality test was used to test whether the data of a study is normal or
not. The normality test was conducted by using Liliefors test at 5% significance
level. The normality test data of this study included 3 groups, namely; 1) the
results of normality test on the students’ vocabulary achievement taught by using
Keyword Method and Mind Mapping Method, 2) the results of normality for
students with high and low motivation, 3) the results of normality tests for
students in each group (Keyword Method with high motivation, Keyword Method
with low motivation, Mind Mapping Method with high motivation, and Mind
Mapping Method with low motivation). If Lobserved (Lo) < Ltable (Lt), thus the data is
normal. The normality test results for the sample group taught by using Keyword
Method and Mind Mapping Method is presented in table 4.9.
Table 4.9The Results of Normality Test on Students’ Vocabulary Achievement

Sample Group N Lo Lt (α = 0.05) RemarksKeyword Method 30 0.1165 0.161 Normal
Mind Mapping Methdod 30 0.112 0.161 Normal
Table 4.9 shows that Lo in the sample group taught by using Keyword
Method is 0.1165 (Lo = 0.1165), Lt at 5% significance level with N = 30 is 0.161
(Lt = 0.161). By comparing scores between Lt and Lo, shows that Lo is less than Lt
(0.1165 < 0.161). Similarly, Lo in the sample group taught by using Keyword
Method is 0.1120, and Lt = 0.161. It shows that Lo is less than the Lt (0.1120 <
0.161). Thus, it can be concluded that both of the data rae normal at 5%
94
95
significance level. Next, the results of normality for students with high and low
motivation is presented in table 4.10.
Table 4.10The Results of Normality for Students with High and Low Motivation
Sample Group N Lo Lt (α = 0.05) RemarksHigh Motivation 38 0.1004 0.144 NormalLow Motivation 22 0.1345 0.19 Normal
Table 4.10 shows that Lo in the sample group of students with high
motivation is 0.1004 (Lo = 0.1004), Lt at 5% significance level with N = 38 is
0.144 (Lt = 0.1004). By comparing scores between Lt and Lo, it shows that Lo is
less than Lt (0.1004 < 0.144). Similarly, Lo in the sample group of the students
with low motivation is 0.1345, and Lt = 0.19. It shows that Lo is less than the Lt
(0.1345 < 0.19). Thus, it can be concluded that both of the data are normal at 5%
significance level.
Furtheremore, the results of normality test for vocabulary in each group
(cell) can be seen in the table 4.11.

Table 4.11 shows that, firstly, Lo in the sample group of students taught by
using Keyword Method with high motivation is 0.170, Lt at 5% significance level
95
96
with N = 20 is 0.190. It shows that Lo is less than Lt (0.171 < 0.190). Secondly, Lo
in the sample group of students taught by using Keyword Method with low
motivation is 0.171, Lt at 5% significance level with N = 10 is 0.258. It shows that
Lo is less than Lt (0.171 < 0.258). Thirdly, Lo in the sample group of students
taught by using Mind Mapping Method with high motivation is 0.201, L t at 5%
significance level with N = 18 is 0.206. It shows that Lo is less than Lt (0.201 <
0.206). Fourthly, Lo in the sample group of students taught by using Mind
Mapping Method with low motivation is 0.200, Lt at 5% significance level with N
= 12 is 0.242. It shows that Lo is less than Lt (0.200 < 0.242). Thus, it can be
concluded that all data are normal at 5% significance level.
4.2.2 Homogeneity Test
The homogeneity test was used to see whether the variance of the data
compared in this study is homogeneous or not. It was conducted by using F test
and Bartlett test. F test was used to compare the variance between Keyword
Method and Mind Mapping Method and compare the variance between students’
vocabulary achievement with high motivation and low motivation. Meanwhile
Bartlett test was used to compare the variance of the four groups (four cells) that
were presented in this study.
F test calculations had been conducted to Keyword Method and Mind
Mapping Method groups by dividing the largest variance to the smallest variance.
Thus, the result is presented in table 4.12.

Table 4.12 shows that Fo = 1.43, whereas Ft at 5% significance level and df
(29.29) = 1.85. Thus, Fo is smaller than Ft (1.43 < 1.85). This means that the
sample variances are homogeneous.
Then, the F test calculations had been conducted to the students with high
and low motivation by dividing the largest variance to the smallest variance. The
result is presented in table 4.13.

Table 4.13 shows that Fo = 1.05, whereas the Ft at 5% significance level
and df (37.21) = 1.96. Thus, Fo is smaller than Ft (1.05 < 1.96). This means that
the sample variances are homogeneous.
Futheremore, homogeneity test was used to compare the variance of the
four cells by using Bartlett test. The summary of the homogeneity test is presented
in table 4.14.

Table 4.14 shows that the total variance = 7.70, log 0.89, and B = 49.67.
Having done the analysis, χo < χt. Thus, it can be concluded that the vocabulary
score in each cell in this study is considered homogeneous, as χo < χt (6.86 <
7.81).
4.3 Hypothesis Testing
To prove the hypothesis, it is need to do a hypothesis testing. The
hypothesis testing was conducted by using Two Way ANOVA. It is used to test
the difference between two or more variance. The data in this study should be
analyzed by using descriptive analysis previously (see table 4.15).

Based on the table 4.16, the statistical hypothesis can be tested as follows:
First Hypothesis: Ho: µA1 = µA2
Ha: µA1 > µA2
99
100
The analyses show that Fo is greater thatn Ft (12.54 > 4.02). The null
hypothesis (Ho) has been succesfully rejected. It means that the hypothesis
formulated “the students” vocabulary achievement taught by using Keyword
Method is higher than that of the students’ vocabulary achievement taught by
using Mind Mapping Method is really true in this research.
Second Hypothesis: Ho: µB1 = µB2
Ha: µB1 > µB2
The analyses show that the Fo is greater than Ft (31.09 > 4.02). The null
hypothesis (Ho) has been successfully rejected. It means that the hypothesis
formulated the students vocabulary achievement with high motivation is higher
than that of the students’ vocabulary achievement with low motivation is really
true in this research.
Third Hypothesis: Ho: A x B = 0
Ha: A x B ≠ 0
The analysis show that the Fo is greater than Ft (14.9 > 4.02). The Null
hypothesis (Ho) has been succesfully rejected. It means that the hypothesis
formulated “there is a significant interaction between the teaching methods with
media and motivation on students’ vocabulary achievement is really true in this
research.
Due to the data in this research are different in each cell, it is necessary to
do the Scheffe test. The summary of Scheffe test result is presented in table 4.17.

After anlyzing the data, the research findings are in the following:
1) The students’ vocabulary achievement taught by using Keyword Method is
higher than that of the students taught by using Mind Mapping Method.
2) The students’ vocabulary achievement with high motivation is higher than that
of students with low motivation.
3) There is a significance interaction between the teaching methods with media
and motivation on students’ vocabulary achievement.
4.5 Discussions
4.5.1 The Students’ Vocabulary Achievement taught by Using Keyword
Method is Higher than the Students’ Vocabulary Achievement Taught
by Using Mind Mapping Method
103
LM HM
104
The result of this research have proved that the students’ vocabulary
achievement taught by using Keyword Method is different from the students’
vocabulary achievement taught by using Mind Mapping Method. The students’
vocabulary achievement taught by using Keyword Method is higher than the
students’ vocabulary achievement taught by using Mind Mapping Method. This
may caused by Keyword Method more increase and affect the students’
motivation to learn as well as their achievement.
In Keyword Method, the students learn from the teacher’s presentation.
When the teacher presents the lesson by using the magnetic board media, the
students pay attention to the lesson. The using of keyword method in presenting
the lesson in presentation has created the interaction between the students and
teacher and between the students and the method. Beside it facilitates
communication and learning (Smaldino, 2005: 71), it enhances th eteaching
learning process and makes learning experience far more concrete and memorable
(Kariman, 1990: 155). Then, the using media in teaching learning process can rise
up students’ interest, motivation, and stimulus in learning (Hamalik, 1994). In
addition, this media can also encourage the students’ creativity by allowing them
to manipulate it, the effect is shy students many particularly profit from this kind
of activity (Smaldino, 2005: 71). Thus, the media make the students more active
and creative in learning.
After the teacher’s presentation, the students sit in team to learn the
worksheet with their teammates. The students help each other to understand the
course materials in the form of students worksheets. They work in teams and each
104
105
team must ensure that all team members have mastered the course material
provided by the teacher. In this occassion, the students will share their knowledge
and mutual help between fellow friends in the team, if there are team members
who have not mastered the material or have not been able to complete a task given
to him, another friend in the team should help the group for their achievement. If
students want to be success as a team, they will encourage their teammates to
excel and will help them to do (Slavin, 1995).
Then, in this method students are encouraged to interact with fellow
members of the group, giving each other encouragement and support to his
friends, so the goal is reached in the learning process. Thus the cooperation and
interaction among fellow students in the group occured. This is supported by
Johnson, Johnson & Holubec (1993) and Lie ((2001), who said that this method
bring positive interdependece among students in the group, fostering individual
and group responsibility, a direct face to face, the communication between fellow
friends on the team, so there is mutual interdependence to achieve the goal.
According to Yulidar (2010) that Keyword Method have better
achievement in vocabulary than students taught by using Mind Mapping. She said
that because vocabulary is taught in list and through memorization by using key
word method as a result it is satisfied. Commonly, there are several techniques
concerning the teching vocabulary by using Keyword Method (Harahap, 2006).
Relating to the use of Keyword Method clarifies that this method combine sounds
and images so that the students can more easily remember what they hear or read
in the new language.
105
106
Based on the Sari (2012) result of data analysis, the research findings are:
(1) the Keyword method is more effective than Direct Instruction to teach
vocabulary for the second grade students of elementary school; (2) the vocabulary
mastery of the students having high creativity is better than that of those having
low creativity; and (3) there is an interaction between teaching techniques and
students’ creativity. Based on these research findings, it can be concluded that
Keyword method is an effective technique to teach vocabulary mastery of the
second grade students of SDIT Salsabilla Baiturrahman Prambanan. The research
result of this study suggests that: (1) English teachers are suggested to use
Keyword method to teach vocabulary; (2) students could use Keyword method to
improve their vocabulary mastery as it can help them to produce the newly
learned words effectively; and (3) the future researchers can conduct research of
the same kind with different population characteristic and different variables.
The use of keyword method devices as a tool to improve spelling worked
for almost all participants from different nationalities, different language level,
native language, different academic degrees, parents’ educational background, and
different genders. It also worked with both students who studied or used the words
between the pretest and the retention test and students who did not (Shaman,
2011).
Furthere, every student has equal opportunity to contribute to the group, so
that some underprivileged students will not feel inferior to their friends because
they also contribute to the group. Instead they will be encouraged to increase their
efforts to improve their ability to learn.
106
107
After mastering the material in a group, the students play an academic
game. Each game table consists of students from different groups who have
similar academic achievements that have been estabilished previously. The using
of games in this method creates and sets a positive tone in the classroom because
of the students’ excitement over playing. The game is amusing, interesting, and
challenging. It is effective because they motivate the student (Ersoz, 2000). It
helps student more relaxed. If students are relaxed and comfortable they will
retain things better and faster (Ubermann, 1998) In (Pettinger, 2007). Games help
students to maintain their interest in the language A(Wright in Pettinger, 1984).
They help students to participate and it gives them a real context to use their
English (Huyen and Nga, 2003). On the other hand, the tournament itself
challenged students to do their best, so that it motivates them to retain more of
vocabularies which are presented during class. As Pettinger (2007) says that
competition or team work play a big role in eliciting and maintaining student’s
motivation and participation.
Furtheremore, Mind mapping method (Sutrisno, 2012) from the results
above, it can be concluded that Mind Mapping is an effective method to teach
vocabulary for the fourth grade students and this research implies that method
have a strong influence on students’ vocabulary mastery. In order to get maximum
result and effect on students’ vocabulary mastery, the writer suggests English
teachers to apply Mind Mapping by considering students’ psychological aspects
especially their language attitude.
107
108
Based on the analysis on the results in thesis (Huda, 2010), it can be
inferred that teaching vocabulary using Mind Mapping Method is more effective
than teaching vocabulary without using Mind Mapping Method.
So, researcher can conclude and choose Keyword method as method to
teach vocabulary for students. These methods are generally aimed at improving
students achievement, because in addition to improve students’ cognitive aspect,
this method can also enhance affective and psychomotor aspects such as the
motivation, leadership, independence, responsibility, value of mutual cooperation,
willingness to give and receive the opinions of others student, productivity, and
activity. It also enhances students’ interaction with their teacher, students’
interaction with the students in tehir team, and also the interaction between
students with students of other team.
In cognitive perspective, the visual pictures, words on the magnetic board
media, and the academic game directly stimulate the child left, mid, and right
brain development (Rismawati, 2012). So that the information saved will be a
long term memory.
In Mind Mapping method, too, students learn from friends through group
work or discussion. It has the same concept with Keyword method learning. The
difference is on the presence of a quiz after the group work as a substitute for
game and tournament. Quizzes which are given at every end of the lesson may
cause students feel burdened, fear to learn like a fear in facing an exam. Besides,
students’ interaction is only limited to group discussions. Therefore, the
interaction among students is less.
108

4.5.2 The Differences between the Students’ Vocabulary Achievement with
High and Low Motivation
These analyses have proved that the average of students’ vocabulary
achievement between the students with high motivation is higher than students’
achievement that has low motivation. These differences can be accepted, because
motivation affects students’ achievement. Djamarah (2008: 155) says that
motivation affects achievement. High or low the motivation is always be an
indicator on the students’ achievementl likewise, Suprijono (2010: 162) argues
that motivation affects learning each other.
The students who have high motivation shows the characteristics: (1)
display interest in activities, (2) feel self efficacious, (3) expend effort to be
succeed, (4) persist at tasks, (5) typically use effective task, and self regulatory
strategies to learn, (6) and have high confidence in learning (Pintrich and Schunk,
2002).
Moreover, they tend to like the challenges. For them, a challenge must be
faced well. In general, they can complete the challenge well. Likewise, the
settlement of problems in learning, they tend to show better in solving the
problem. The students with high motivation to learn are more creative and active
in learning. They do not only prefer working individually, but also working in
groups. High confidence makes them more eager to follow the lessons.
Specifically, the difference between the students’ vocabulary achievement
with high and low motivation. According Firdaus (2010) in her thesis that the
109
110
students who have high motivation were better taught by using Keyword Method.
It is caused by their characteristic was the same with Keyword Method, they will
get more information and knowledge from team and teacher. Therefore, it is
believed that the result of learning will increase. Conversely, if they are taught by
using Keyword Method, they will lead to saturation and loss of self confidence,
because they are not able to find themselves, less able to develop his creativity,
and can not be active, interactive learning in the study.
The students with high motivation are more creative and active in learning.
They do not only prefer working individually, but also working in groups. High
confidence makes them more eager to follow the lessons. On the other hand, the
students with low motivation are less creative in learning. It makes them less
successfully in any learning.
Relating to the role of achievement motivation in foreign language
learning, Gardner (2001) in his socio-educational model states motivation to learn
the second language is viewed as requiring three elements. First, a motivated
individual expends effort to learn the language. That is, there is a persistent and
consistent attempt to learn the material by doing homework, by seeking out
opportunities to learn more, by doing extra work, etc. Second, the motivated
individual wants to achieve the goal. Such an individual will express the desire to
succeed, and will strive to achieve success. Third, the motivated individual will
enjoy the task of learning the language. Such an individual will say that it is fun,
challenging, and enjoyable, even though at times enthusiasm may be less than at
other times.
110
111
While the students have low motivation show the characteristics: (1) do
not have interest in activities, (2) feel shy and tend not to do something, (3) there
is no effort to be success, and (4) do not persist at tasks (Firdaus, 2010). Further,
they lack of confidence in making decision, nothing can be done to the
environment. In learning process, students who have low motivation tends to be
quiet, there have not any opinion. If they meet problems, they solve it with
pessimism. The students with low motivation are less creative in learning. It
makes them less successful in any learning. In connection with the description, it
can be it can be assumed that the students’ achievement with high motivation will
be higher than the students’ achievement with low motivation.
By considering how important the role of achievement motivation in
learning foreign language is, the teachers should be able to create learning
conditions that can raise students’ achievement motivation in foreign language
learning. In other words, the teachers play main role in creating conducive
condition that facilitates the students to learn (Narayan, 2008). Creating classroom
climate in which there is a sense of belonging and everyone is valued and
respected is one way that can be applied. It is expected that the teachers must be
close and give their attention to their students, so that, the students feel secure in
learning.
4.5.3 The Interaction between the Teaching Methods with Motivation on
Students’ Vocabulary Achievement
111
112
Teaching method is very important in increasing the achievement of the
students’ in vocabulary, especially in this research it will improve the
achievement of the students in vocabulary. The appropriate method will result
good result too.
Keyword method is a mnemonic method that has been especially designed
as an effective strategy for learning foreign vocabulary. This method encourages
students to be active and thoughtful readers. This method focus on the
involvement of the students with the vocabulary because the students predict and
proof it when they read and think.
Narayan (2008) explains that teacher can motivate the effort and the
students‟ concentration by involving them and also generate them to formulate
the questions and hypotheses, to process the information, and to evaluate the
temporary solution. Keyword method directed to achieve the general goal. This
method will work well for the students who have higher learning motivation since
this kind of students have strong desire to participate and to be active in the
learning process, show greater perseverance and sustained effort n their activities.
While Mind Mapping method is difficult in teaching vocabulary on
motivation students. This method is used to assist students who struggle to answer
teacher-generated or end-of-chapter-type questions, the teacher provides explicit
instruction in identifying and differentiating between various question types. In
Mind Mapping Method students learn to categorize questions by the type of
information that is used to answer them.
112
113
Motivation is a combination of many different aspects that comprise a part
of teachers' pedagogical knowledge. Teachers must realize that to maintain and be
successful with all of the techniques at all times is impossible. Gaining experience
and using some of these techniques will help any teacher feel a little better about
the quality of his or her teaching. As a professional educator, the teacher must
realize that the quality of a learning experience lies in the teacher's ability to
create that quality. From the explanation above, it can be concluded that there is
interaction between Keyword Method and Mind Mapping with motivation on
students’ vocabulary achievement.
4.6 Research Limitation
Due to the limited ability of the various aspects, this study has some
limitations, they are:
1) The implementation of this research was carried out according to the
schedule which had been formed previously, therefore the implementation
was not the same. Because of the implementation was not at the same, there
is a possibility that the implementation.
2) The data were obtained in the form of the multiple choice test. The problem
is there was the possibility the student to cheat the test. So, the actual
mastert has not been accommodated correctly.
3) The sample in this research was only two classes containing thirty students
in each class. The numbers of meetings were only 6 times. With the number
of samples and a limited number of meetings, there was a possibility of
113
114
getting different result if another study with the larger samples and in a
lorger meeting conducted. Therefore, to obtain more comprehensive results,
the number of samples and the meeting needs to be improved, and.
4) The statistical analysis was calculated only by using a calculator FX 3600; a
manual calculation process.
CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS, SUGGESTIONS, AND IMPLICATIONS
5.1 Conclusions
After nalyzing the data, some conclusions are drawn as the following.
1. The average score shows that the students’ vocabulary achievement taught by
using Keyword method is significantly higher than that of the students taught
by using Mind Mapping method. Therefore, Keyword method is better applied
in teaching vocabulary.
2. The average score shows that the students’ vocabulary achievement with high
motivation is significantly higher than that of the students’ with low
motivation. Therefore the teacher should make an effort in order that the
students have high motivation in learning English vocabulary.
3. There is a significant interaction between the teaching methods with
motivation on students’ vocabulary achievement. It means that the interaction
of methods, and motivation significantly affect the students’ vocabulary
114
115
achievement. The students with high motivation to learn will get better
achievemnt if they are taught by using Keyword method. Otherwise, the
students with low motivation to learn will get better achievement if they are
taught by using Mind Mapping method.
5.2 Suggestions
Based on the conclusions, it is suggested that:
1. The English teachers of the fifth grade at MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec.
Stabat who want to improve their students’ achievement in vocabulary apply
Keyword method in teahcing learning of English vocabulary.
2. The teachers have to motivate their students in order that they have high
motivation in learning.
3. The teacher must concern to the students high or low motivation. If teachers
know their students’ motivation, it is easier to plan the appropriate method and
media. The students with high motivation tend to be better taught by using
Keyword method, otherwise the students with low motivation tend to be better
taught by using Mind Mapping method.
4. The school practitioner is hoped giving attention and equips both the teachers
and the students with the facilities needed especially the media and books.
5. Other researchers who are interested in this study do the further research in a
larger sample and a different variable.
115
116
5.3 Implications
One of the efforts to improve and increase the wuality of language
teaching learning is the used of varied learning activities and determination of an
appropriate teaching methods and media based on the students’ ability, condition,
needs, characteristics and age. The use of varying activities, teaching methods and
media is needed to help students achieve the maximum results, improved and
increase the effectiveness in learning. It is also used to stimulate their motivation
and interest to the lesson. In addition, it involves students to be active mentally
and physically. Thus, Keyword method and Mind Mapping method can be applied
in improving the students’ vocabulary achievement for fifth grade.
The fifth grade at MIN Slipit Desa Mangga Kec. Stabat, the young
students are not realizing yet that English is very important. The importance of
Englis is still handled by the English teachers at the school. So, it is hoped that
English teacher needs to motivate their students in learning English, because the
learning process will less success without any motivation. Besides, the teacher
needs to be aware of their students’ characteristics as the base to maximize the
applying of Keyword method and Mind Mapping in improving and increasing
students’ vocabulary achievement.

THE ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
The achievement test was tried out to grade V students at MIN Slipit Desa
Mangga Kec. Stabat who were not as the experimental subject, they have got the
material at the previous year. After the test was conducted, the test item analysis
conducted. The test item analysis was done to find difficulty index, discrimination
index, validity, and reliability of the test.
1. Difficulty Index
To calculate the difiiculty index (P), the formula was used:
PBJS
Where:P : Difficulty IndexB : The number of testee who answered correctlyJS : the number of testee
The example of Difficulty Index calculation for item number 1 as the
following:
N : 30, thus n = 27% x 30 = 8BA : 6 ( the number of testee A (high) who answered correctly)BB : 1 (the number of testee B (low) who answered correctly)B : BA + BB = 6 + 1 = 7JS : 2n = 2 x 8 = 16
134
135
PBJS
= 716
=0.438
According to Arikunto (2002), the criteria of diffficulty index is classified
as in Table 1:
Table 1The Criteria of Difficulty Index
No Proportion Value Description1 If P < 0.30, The test item is difficult2 If 0.30 ≤ P ≤ 0.70, The test item is moderate3 If P > 0.70, The test item is easy
Based on the calculation result, the item number one is classified as a
moderate item. For other results of difficulty index can be seen in appendix – E1.
2. Item Discrimination (ID or D)
Item Discrimination is used to differentiate between the smart and less
smart student. To count item Discrimination (D), the formula was used:
DBA
J A
−BB
J B
Where:D = Item DiscriminationJA = The number of testee AJB = The number of testee BBA = The number of testee A who answered correctlyBB = The number of testee B who answered correctly
According to Arikunto (2002), the criteria of Item Discrimination as in
Table 2:
Table 2The Item Discrimination Criteria
135
136
No Proportion Value Description1 If, D > 0.70, The test item is Excellent2 If, 0.40 ≤ D ≤ 0.70, The test item is good3 If, 0.20 ≤ D ≤ 0.39, The test item is Moderate4 If D < 0.20, The test item is poor
The result of Item Discrimination can bee seen in the appendix – E2
3. Validity
To determine achievement test and questionnaire validity, the Pearson
Product Moment Coefficient of correlation was used. The formula is:
r xy N ∑ XY−¿¿¿
Where:rxy = the Pearson Product Moment coefficient of correlationƩX = the number of item score (the testee who answered correctly)ƩY = the total score of the testee who answered correctlyN = total of testee
The criteria : If r observed > r table, the items is valid
Appendix – E3 had shown the analysis of each item test. There were 40
items on the analysis. From the calculation of the test, there were 30 items that is
valid. While 10 items are invalid, they are: item number 2,3,11,12,18,26,27,33,35,
and 40. Then, there were 31 items valid 50 items for questionnaire.
4. Reliability
a. Reliability of Vocabulary Test
Reliability of the test means consistency degree of the test items in
measuring the behavioral objectives. The researcher had applied KR 20 formula to
analyze the achievement test. The formula is:
136
137
rn = [ nn−1 ] .[ S2−∑ pq
S2 ]rn = Reliability Coefficient of KR – 20n = The number of itemsƩpq = The number of itemsp = proportion of correct answers testee to grain items being
searched for validityq = proportion who answered wrong testee againt the grain items
being searched for validityS2 = the total varianFrom the calculation on appendix – E4
n = 40,Ʃpq = 9.075
Based on the data, the total varian is:
S2 = n∑ y2−¿
n (n – 1)
= 40 (13618 )−¿¿
= 198976
1560
= 127.549
Then, the value was substitued in KR – 20 Reliability coefficient as:
rn = [ nn−1 ] .[ S2−∑ pq
S2 ]rn = [ 40
40−1 ] .[ 127.547−9.075127.549 ]
rn = [ 1.026 ] [ 118.474127.549 ]
rn = 0.929
the calculation result showed that the reliability of the vocabulary test is
0.929. to interprate the coefficient, the criteria is:
137
138
1. 0.800 – 1.000 : very high
2. 0.600 – 0.800 : high
3. 0.400 – 0.600 : moderate
4. 0.200 – 0.400 : low
5. 0.000 – 0.200 : very low
The reliability of vocabulary test is 0.929, it means that this value has a
very high reliability.
b. Reliability of Questionnaire
To analyze the questionnaire, Alpha formula was used. The reliability of

Test data for normality using Liliefors test aims to check whether the sample frequency based normal distribution or not. For the calculations, carried out with step as follows:1. Sort the data from the smallaest to largest, then determine the absolute
frequency (f abs) and cumulative frequency (f Cum).2. Changing the sign of a number of raw score, by using the formula:
Z1 X1−¿S
X ¿ where : X = The Average
S = Sample Standard Deviation3. Determining F (Zi) by using the table below Normal Value area.4. Determining of S (Zi) by calculating the proportion f Cum completely divided
by all f.5. The fifth step is to determine the difference between F (Zi) and S (Zi).
Having obtained the difference F (Zi) with S (Zi), the largest absolute value was taken, called Lo is less than L table, then the data revealed normal. Further testing will be done for normality for each group of data, as follows:
∑ X = 633 S = 3.2 Lo (taken the biggest value) = 0.1120 Ltable for n = 30 is 0.161 So, Lo < Ltable (0.1120 < 0.161)
The conclusion: the data is normal
The highest value obtained or as Lo is 0.1120. With N = 30 obtained L
table = 0.161. This means that Lo < L table (0.1120 < 0.161). This value can be
interpreted that the data in this study is normal.
