Abstract

This final project is a quasi-experimental study that aims to find out whether there is any significant differences of the achievements in writing a descriptive text of students who were taught by using photograph and those who were taught by using realia with an assumption that these media could help them to understand the lesson. The subjects of the study were the seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Kalinyamatan in the academic year of 2016/2017. There were two groups given different treatments. The first group was the experimental group 1 which was taught by using a photograph and the second group was the experimental group 2 which was taught by using realia. The writer used test, observation sheet and questionnaire as an instruments. There were four meetings four each class. One meeting was for a pre-test, treatment, and observation sheet, the next two meetings were for treatment and one meeting was for post-test, observation sheet and questionnaire. In the test, the students of the experimental group 1 used the photograph and the experimental group 2 used realia to write the descriptive text based on the topic provided: things and toys. The result of this research showed that the pretest average scores of the two groups were nearly the same. The means of the pre-tests were 65.3 (experimental group 1) and 65.90 (experimental group 2). It showed the slight difference between the two groups indicated that they were homogeneous. After the groups of experimental 1 and experimental 2 were given different treatment, the score of the two groups increased. The means turned into 71.1 for the experimental group 1 and 74.3 for the experimental group 2. The improvement were 8.4 for the experimental group 2 and 5.8 for the experimental group 1. The result of the t-test based on the difference of two means explained that the obtained value 0.030 was smaller than t-table 0.05 and it can be concluded that there was a significant difference between students who were taught by photograph and students who were taught by using realia. For observation and questionnaire the result showed that students who taught using realia gave more intention than students who were taught using photograph while for questionnaire students who taught using realia were more enjoyed than students who were taught using photograph. Based on the result above, it is concluded that in this study realia are more effective than a photograph in teaching writing descriptive text. It is suggested that realia can be used as an alternative media for teaching writing descriptive text. Furthermore, the next research is suggested to be carried out for a better understanding of this study
