Abstract

In order to master English, people need to learn the four language skills as of paramount importance in English; one of them is the reading skill. Because of it, the reading skill has become the subject that is taught for students at the school. Teachers use many kinds of teaching techniques to make students easily understand reading materials and finally they are able to read the text and understand it well. Jigsaw is the example of cooperative learning which is commonly used by teachers to teach reading in class. It contains more group discussion which gives students more chances to interact with their friends. Another example of cooperative learning technique which can be used to teach reading in class is CIRC. This technique is rarely used by teachers and it is also unfamiliar for the researcher, so the researcher conducted this Final Project in order to know which is more effective between CIRC and Jigsaw to teach reading especially to teach recount text. The subject of this final project was the eighth grader students of SMA N 1 Pegandon in the academic year of 2014/2015. The number of the subject was 67 students. The design of this study was experimental study. The data were collected by doing pre-test and post-test of reading comprehension test. By using cluster sampling, the researcher used the students of XI MIA 1 as the experimental group and the students of XI MIA 2 as the control group. In the pre-test, the mean score of the experimental group was 77.65, while the control group was 77.52. The result of post-test of the experimental group was 92.94 and the control one was 82. There was an improvement between the results of pre-test and post-test’s score, so it could be concluded that both of CIRC and Jigsaw were effective enough to teach recount text. From the calculation of t-test, the result was 6.67 while the t-table with degree of freedom (df) 65, rounded up to 60 at 5% significance level was 1.67. Because the t-test was higher than the t-table (6.67>1.67), it can be concluded that teaching recount text materials by using CIRC for the 11th grader students of SMA N 1 Pegandon in the Academic Year of 2013/2014 was more effective than using Jigsaw.
