ABSTRACT

Nurliah. 2020. The Implementation of Clustering Technique to Improve Students’

Writing Skill (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

Grade Students’ in

SMPN 11 Maros Baru). A study of English Education Department, Faculty of Teacher

Training and Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar. Supervised by

Syamsiarna Nappu and Farisha Andi Baso.

The study aimed at finding out whether or not clustering technique improves

students‟ writing in terms of content and vocabulary. The method of this study was A

Pre-Experimental design. The population of this study was the first semester students‟

in academic years 2019/2020 at the 8th

Grade Students‟ in SMPN 11 Maros Baru, which

selected by using cluster random sampling technique, while the sample of this study

was 30 students. The instrument of this study was a test that used pre-test and post-test.

The mean score of the pre-test in content 74,1 was greater than post-test 69,1. While the

mean score of the pre-test in vocabulary 72,7 was lower than post-test 76,3. From t-test,

the study found that the value of t-test in content 4,47 was greater than t-table 2,045 and

the value of t-test in vocabulary 9,66 was greater than t-table 2,045. There was a

different between the students‟ writing before and after applying clustering technique in

the class. It shows that the null Hypothesis ) was rejected and alternative hypothesis

) was accepted. The result of the data show that writing in terms of content and

vocabulary through clustering technique was fairly effective method to improving

students‟ writing in terms of content and vocabulary.

Key Words: Clustering Technique, Writing, Content and Vocabulary.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background

English is an international language that very important and many relationships

with various aspect of life owned by human being. In Indonesia, English is one of

foreign language. Foreign language is a subject matter in the school. Being successful in

teaching English is the dominant factor that the English teacher should pay attention to.

People can get a good English if they have four skill mastery. There are listening,

speaking, reading and writing.

Writing is one of four basic skills in learning foreign language besides listening,

reading, and speaking. In fact, writing becomes the most difficult lesson to understand

by the students, so that the writing always becomes passive class in every meeting.

People should have English writing skill because it easier them toward era

globalization. Writing ability not only for students‟ English education program, but all

of people can be used like children, teenager, and adults.

In this research, the writer improved the students‟ writing skill by guiding them

in writing a content. Content is a part of writing containing of someone‟s ideas in

written form. It consists of several sentences which talk about one topic. It includes

some information or message for reader. Content has some type such as descriptive,

narrative, procedure, recount and report paragraph. The writer limited the discussion on

writing in terms of content and vocabulary. People have a problem when they want to

write English text to other people because their lack of vocabulary and they are not

understand how to make a content in English.

Page 17: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

There are three of language aspects, that is; structure, vocabulary, and

pronunciation. Because the knowledge of those aspects are important to help students in

building more effective and understandable communication with other. The three aspect

are always connected with each other but one of the important aspects of language

learning is vocabulary. Mastering vocabulary can help to get easier to use of language.

Wilkins in Indriani (2007) found that the students‟ learning depends upon the

effectiveness of the teachers‟ technique.

Interest is one of the successful keys in learning English vocabulary mastery.

There were many factors that make the students‟ lack vocabulary, that is internal and

external factor. The internal is the factors from inside of the students themselves like

motivation and interest. While external is the factors from outside of the students like

learning material and teachers‟ performance including their teaching methods or

strategy. Pieter (1991) said that vocabulary can be taught by using different techniques,

for example: games, translation, text, picture, etc.

Building vocabulary is necessary in today‟s age. Use of strong vocabulary plays

a very important to build a good interaction with anyone. Strong vocabulary gave a

positive touch of students. It is so important to pay attention to the way the people talk

about things in personal relations. By those condition above, the writer assumes that the

teaching of English vocabulary must be improve with some practical and easy ways, for

example by using clustering technique, so that such problems appear above can be

solved. Learning vocabulary with this technique was more enjoyable and the students

would learn them more easily.

Page 18: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

6

From those problem, the writer finding out the solution to improve the students‟

writing vocabulary mastery by using clustering technique. Clustering technique is a

technique to divide some related ideas and write down in a blank of paper without

evaluating the truth or value of the ideas themselves. This technique can help the

student to develop their vocabularies and make the students to think creativity and also

stimulus their mind.

In the clustering technique, classroom much vocabulary was not taught on the

form of word list of isolated words anymore but taught in different ways. Clustering

makes the students easier to acquire vocabulary knowledge naturally, rather than

learning internationally. Considering from the background above, the writer intent to

research under the topic “The Implementation of Clustering Technique to Improve

Students‟ Writing Skill at the 8th

Grade Students‟ of SMPN 11 Maros Baru”.

B. Problem Statement

Based on the background above, the writer formulates the questions of problem as

follow: Does clustering technique improve the students‟ writing in terms of content

and vocabulary?

C. Objective of the Research

Based on the problem statement above, the objective of this research as follow:

To find out whether or not clustering technique improves students‟ writing in terms

of content and vocabulary.

D. Significance of the Study

The significance of this research was classifying into theoretically and

practically. Theoretically, this research was expected to give information by teachers

Page 19: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

7

as effectiveness and as an alternative to enrich their teaching technique. It can gave

contribution theory especially the lesson to learn. For the next researcher, the result

of this research was expected to be reference for them in doing their investigation.

Practically, this research was expected to gave meaningful information and

more reference for the students to motivate students‟ in learning English especially

writing vocabulary. It can be improved students‟ ability to increase their interest

about writing content and vocabulary by using clustering technique.

E. Scope of the Study

This research was restricted to use of clustering technique in taught writing

skill for 8th

grade of the students‟ at SMPN 11 Maros Baru in 2019/2020 academic

year. The kinds of writing represent in this research would focus on content and

vocabulary.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

A. Preview Related Findings

There were some researcher who have conducted similar research namely:

1. Hayati (2017) conducted a research entitle “The Use of Clustering Technique to

Improve Students Achievement in Writing Recount Text at MAS. PAB 1 Sampali”

found that the result of post-test in cycle 1, there are 17 or 60% students who pass

KKM considering their mean score of the test is 68.96. The result of post-test in

cycle II, the are 29 or 90% students who pass the KKM in which their mean is

81,72. It means that the students‟ achievement in writing recount text is improving

significantly. Based on the result of data, the researcher concludes that the use of

clustering technique to improve students‟ achievement in writing recount text.

2. Andayani (2017) conducted a research entitle “The Effectiveness of Using

Clustering Technique to Teach Vocabulary to the Students” found that clustering

technique helped the students easier to understand the material. the result of Sig.

(2-tailed) of the equal variance was 0.000 < α = 0.05. It means that H0 is rejected

and Ha is accepted. Based on the computation, it can be concluded that there was

effectiveness of using clustering technique to teach vocabulary to the students at

the first semester of the tenth grade of SMA Muhammadiyah Gisting in the

academic year of 2017/2018.

Page 21: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

3. Styati (2010) conducted a research entitle “The Effectiveness of Clustering

Technique to Teach Writing Skill Viewed from Students’ Linguistic Intelligence”

found that the use of clustering technique can affect the student‟s writing

competence optimally. It is proved from the research findings showing that

students who are taught using clustering technique have better writing competence

that those who are taught using direct instruction.

The similarities between this research and previous research finding above

was the using of clustering technique to improve the students‟ skill in English

learning. There were some differences between this research and previous research.

Previous research used clustering technique to improve the students writing and the

clustering as a media. Previous research did not focus on the effectiveness of using

clustering technique. While this research was going to focus on writing skill and how

to improve the students writing in terms of content and vocabulary through clustering

technique.

B. Definition of Writing

Writing is the important of language skill, writing is a productive skill of

language learning. Writing very important for the students to practice their capability

and their understanding, how to send ideas, and how to spell word well; in this case

the students‟ motivation and interest were very need to make the process of their

understanding more easily. Writing is a process, and it has to be done little by little,

not instantly. Sometime, we are as a teacher still face a little bit difficult in starting

writing. It is also still very difficult for the students as a beginner. Writing a content

or genre, students‟ have to get the keywords or main idea first. The teachers know

Page 22: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

10

that in the process of writing, students‟ have some stages or steps to produce final

text. One of them is through clustering technique. It is the first step to generate

students‟ ideas by making such cluster after students got their keywords for the

content.

According to Suheni (2011: 22) Writing is a process, which may refer into

two activities: the inscribing characters on a medium, with the intention of forming

words and other lingual constructs that represent language and recording information

to be conveyed through written language. It means that the writers need a process to

record something and write about it. Written text is considered as a product of

communication. Communication in writing tends to involve a thinking process.

Writer need to think about what topic or idea should choose, think and consider

about the choice of words, vocabulary, content, and grammar. It is a thinking process

to make unity all components to produce a written product.

Another definition of writing skill is also defined by Harmer (2004) stated

that writing encourages students to focus on accurate language use. It is because

students consider the language use when the students engage in their writing process.

This activity will provoke language development because the students resolve

problems what writing puts in students‟ minds. Based on the definition above, it can

be said that writing is one of the productive activities in developing ideas, feelings

and anything in writing. Teaching writing cannot be apart from writing process for

achieving expected text.

a. Process of Writing

This section includes a description of the activities leading to thewriting of

the previous essay. This activities include prewriting, writing and re-writing.

1) Prewriting

Graham and Perin (2007: 18) explain that pre-writing engages students

in activities designed to help them generate or organize ideas for their

composition. Involving students in these activities before writing the draft aims

to improve the quality of student writing. The pre-writing activity consists of

gathering information through reading and developing a visual representation

of students' ideas before sitting down to write. Students register subtopics for

two or three choices and then choose topics that produce the largest number of

subtopics. Students will be easier to write ideas when students think of general

topics or specific topics.

2) Writing

Graham and Perin (2007:20) state that the process of writing approach

stress activities that emphasize extend opportunities for writing. Writing for

real audiences, self-reflection, personalize, instruction and goals, and cycles of

planning, and reviewing.

3) Rewriting

At the process stage caution is need. Reread what has been write and

then correct if there is an error. after the writing is considered correct and clear,

then the next is to write back more carefully and as neatly as possible.

Page 24: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

12

b. Characteristics of Good Writing

There are several characteristics of a good writing. White (1986: 7) said that there

are four characteristics of a good writing as follows:

a) The appeal to a target audience, it means that writer should know that his or her

writing is wanted to read by many readers and it appropriates with the readers‟

desire.

b) A coherent structure, it means that writing have organizational scheme or

outline.

c) A smooth detail development, it means that a writer should build his idea like

discussing the idea in detail

d) An appropriate, well-articulated style. It means that a writer should be able to

choose the appropriate words to explain his idea. It is also called diction. It also

means that a writer should avoid such as ambiguous sentence or necessary

complicated wording.

c. Components of Writing

Jacob et al (1981: 31) state that there are five significant components in writing,

they are:

a) Content

There are at least four things that can be measured in connecting with

content, the composition should contain one central purpose only, should have

unity, should have coherence, completeness and continuity, and should be

adequately developed.

Page 25: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

13

b) Organization

The purpose of organizing material in writing involves coherence, order

of importance, general to specific, specific to general, chronological, order and

spatial order of pattern. When writing, the learner should arrange their writing

chronologically. They should present their ideas based on the order of which

happened from the beginning to the end.

c) Vocabulary

The effective use of words will always result good writing both specific

and technical writing, the dictionary is very considerable. Vocabulary is one in

writing to express ideas people always deal with vocabulary. The lack of

vocabulary makes it difficult to express ideas.

d) Language Use

Language use in writing description and other from writing involves

correct languages and point of grammar. An adequate grammar should be one

that is capable of producing writing. We should not be able to do anything

more that utter separate items of language for separate function. While

grammar can help students improve the use of formal language.

e) Mechanics

There were at least two main parts of mechanics in writing namely

punctuation and capitalization. Punctuation is important as the way to clarify

meaning. In English writing capital letters have two principals, first they are

used to distinguish between particulars and things. Second, it is used as first

word in questions, a formal statement and proper adjectives.

Page 26: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

14

C. Content

The content of writing should be clear for the readers so that the readers

can understand the message convey and gain information from it. In order to

have a good content of writing, its content should be well unified and completed.

Jacob in Nawir (2019: 11) state that there are two point that usually known as

unity and completeness, which become characteristic of good writing.

a. Unity

The writing regards to have unity, if it has some main ideas and the

sentences contained in it develop that idea. The main idea is stated in the

topic sentences and each or every supported sentences and related to that

idea of the topic sentences. If a writer wants his writing is unified, her or she

should not include the sentences that do not support the main idea of the

topic sentences.

b. Completeness

Writing is said to have completeness if the main idea have been

explained and developed fully completeness. The controlling idea with

develop thoroughly by these of particular information. It is relative to know

how complex or general the topic sentences by having a complete writing. It

is expected that the content of writing will be clear and understandable for

readers.

D. Vocabulary

1. The Definition of Vocabulary

Vocabulary is one of important thing to make easy to writing. Hayati

(2017) said that the master vocabulary can support the students‟ to speaking

communication. In learning English vocabulary people have to know the

meaning of the other people say and it is makes understand quickly. According

to Wilkins (1972) Vocabulary learning is learning to discriminate progressing

the meaning of words in the target language from the meaning of their nearest

„equivalent‟ in the mother tongue. It is also learning to make the most

appropriate lexical choices for particular linguistic and situational context.

According to Hatch and Brown (1995), vocabulary is a list or set of

words for a particular language or list or set of words that individual speakers of

language might use. Moreover, Harmer (1991) states that if language structures

make up the skeleton of a language, then it is vocabulary that provides that vital

organs and the flesh. That is clear that vocabulary is very important. Several

definitions of vocabulary or word have given by different researcher. vocabulary

is knowlegde that study about word, part of word that gives clues to the meaning

of whole words.

Richard and Renandya (2002) state that vocabulary is a core component

of language proficiency and provides much of the basis for how well learners

speak, listen, read and write. It means that the first think people should learn is

vocabulary because with vocabulary people can learn the language skills easier

and will be usefull for the process of achieving language teaching objectives.

Page 28: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

16

Cambridge learner‟s dictionary (2001: 708) said that vocabulary is all the words

people know in a particular language; all the words that exist in language, or that

are used when discussing a particular subject; a list of words and their meanings.

Vocabulary sometimes is the course. This usually happens when the new words

are labels for concepts and the teacher wants to teach for concepts development.

Building vocabulary is necessary in today‟s age. Use of strong

vocabulary plays a very important to build a good interaction with anyone.

Strong vocabulary give a positive touch of students‟. It is so important to pay

attention to the way the people talk about things in personal relations. By those

condition above, the researcher assumes that the teaching of English vocabulary

must be improve with some practical and easy ways, for example by using

clustering technique, so that such problems appear above can be solved.

Learning vocabulary with this technique was more enjoyable and the

students will learn them more easily. Richards (2002: 255) state that vocabulary

is the core component of language proficiency and provides much of the basis

for how well learners speak, listen, read, and write. However, learning

vocabulary is not only write about words, but also about how to use the

vocabulary into correct usage. The word book sometimes means the kind of

thing you read from, but it can also mean a number of other things.

2. Definition of Vocabulary Mastery

Vocabulary is a total number of the word to make the languages, it

means that vocabulary is the basic element of language. Vocabulary important

Page 29: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

17

part in learning it will make languages meaningful. Vocabulary in this study is

the words that we use in English. Andayani (2017: 18) said that mastery means

understanding well of the vocabulary or simply reaching a certain level of

understanding of particular content, whereas competence represents the ability to

apply what has been mastered.

According to Dictionary of Education in Natsir (2015: 15) vocabulary is

the content and function words language, which are learn so thoroughly, that

become a part students‟ understanding, speaking and later reading and writing.

Graves in Dewang (2017) ideal vocabulary that must be owned by the novice

learner is between 2500 or 5000 words to support language learning. However,

this is not own by most of students in our country because there are some

differences between Bahasa and English.

Ur (1996) said that vocabulary can be defined, roughly, as the words we

reach in the foreign language. However, a new item of vocabulary may be more

than single words, for example, post office and mother in low, which are made

up of two of three words but express a single idea.

3. Types of Vocabulary

There are many classifications by experts about types of vocabulary

based on many aspects. Aeborsold and Lee (1997), divides vocabulary into

active vocabulary and passive vocabulary:

a. Active vocabulary; is also called as productive vocabulary. Students

must know how to pronounce vocabulary well, they must know and be

Page 30: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

18

able how to use grammar of the target language. This type is often used

in speaking skill.

b. Passive vocabulary; refers to language items that can be recognized and

understood in the context of reading and listening, and it also as

receptive vocabulary.

4. Problem in Teaching Vocabulary

In teaching and learning vocabulary, many problems that can be found,

from difficult words until applying the words. Even though students realize the

importance of vocabulary when learning English, most Indonesia students learn

vocabulary passively due to several factors. According to Surya (2014:8) there

are several factors, 1) They consider the teacher‟s explanation for meaning or

definition, pronunciation, spelling and grammatical functions boring. In this

case, language learners have nothing to do in a vocabulary learning section but

to listen of their teacher. 2) Students only think of vocabulary learning as

knowing the primary meaning of new words. Therefore, they ignore other

functions of the words. 3) Students usually only acquire new vocabulary through

new words in their textbooks or when gave by teachers during classroom

lessons. 4) Many Indonesia learners do not want to take risks in applying what

they have learnt.

5. Clustering Technique

1. The Definition of Clustering Technique

Clustering is a brainstorming activity that can be used to generate

ideas and feelings around a topic or stimulus words. According to Langan in

Page 31: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

19

Fitriani (2018), clustering also known as diagramming or mapping is another

strategy that can be used to generate material for a paper. Clustering is very

important to know so that it can be used well. According to Hartina (2013)

clustering technique is a part of writing and to tap the “secret reserves of

imaginative power” has aroused must enthusiasm among writing teachers.

This technique was precisely and clearly explained with many valuable

examples, clustering makes use of the imaginative mind letter in the process.

To make clustering the students must wrote in the paper and make a circles

or balloon around the topic. The students wrote topic of vocabulary into

circle or balloon. More cluster associate with the activities aimed at a group

of people.

Oshima and Hogue in Styati (2010: 15) said that clustering technique

is another brainstorming activity that the students can use to generate ideas.

This technique was hoped to solve the problem because usually students get

difficulties to develop their idea in speaking activity because they were still

poor in vocabulary. Coffin, et al. (2005: 37) said that clustering technique

can help to see a visual representation of ideas. Kalandadze (2007: 6) state

that clustering is a technique used to see a visual map of our ideas and able

to make us think more creatively in making new association. This technique

would lead the students to more creatively in writing.

Talking about technique there were three point that must be

differentiated. They were approach, method, and technique. Technique is the

implementation that used in a classroom. Technique must be consistent with

Page 32: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

20

a method and an approach as well. Method is an overall plan for orderly

presentation of language material and all of which is based upon the selected

approach. While an approach is a set of correlative assumptions dealing with

the nature of language teaching and in learning. Technique was method of

doing something expertly or needs skill. Referring of the ideas above,

clustering was one of technique in teaching writing skill by using English

vocabulary.

2. The Function of Clustering Technique

According to Rico (2000: 2) the function of clustering that are:

a. Clustering is the process like free association. Clustering should help you

find and generate ideas and having found them to structure and

restructure then long before any ordering actually takes place.

b. Clustering helps unblock our mind and generates inspiration.

c. Clustering helps overcome anxiousness about where to store and what to

write.

d. Clustering evokes association unique to each individual.

e. Clustering is a technique for collecting thoughts around some stimulus,

for finding a focus and for allowing a sense of the whole configuration to

emerge even though all the details are not yet apparent.

3. Types of Clustering Technique

Although the structure of clustering technique by certain writers to

the slightly different but the working principle are basically the same. Gaunt

Page 33: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

21

(2002) state that clustering technique such concept forms of spider web and

brainstorming. And how they work in presented as follows:

a. Spider Web

Spider web or semantic mapping is a technique for make notes at

random on paper. Spider web a drawing used to show topics, words, ideas,

task, or other things. Everything is writing around a words or ideas in the

middle. Burns and Rose in Warni (2010) state that spider web or semantic

webbing is a process for constructing visual display of categories. This

words and ideas is the main topic of the mind mapping, and the things

linked to it a related to the main idea. The mind map strategy can be used to

explore almost any topic, though discursive essays and narrative work

particularly well as they from students‟ ideas and lend them to discussing

ideas in groups.

Gaunt (2002) state that spider web or semantic mapping is a

technique that can be used in all disciplines to demonstrate the relationships

between ideas. When teaching vocabulary explicitly, it can be used as a

tool for students to discover the relationship between vocabulary words. As

semantic mapping builds on prior knowledge, and is an active form of

learning, it is very effective teaching tool for the teacher.

b. Brainstorming

Brainstorming is a technique that used to gather a large quantity of

ideas. The ideas generated are geared towards solving a specific problem.

There are different brainstorming techniques which have been used.

Page 34: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

22

However, often group creativity techniques, where by a group of individual

join together so as to find a solution to a specific problem. According to

White and Arndt (1991: 18) brainstorming is a widely used a word and

effective way to getting ideas flowing. Its ideas may be ideal for actual

content or ideas for organizing the content.

The use of brainstorming is becoming an exceedingly common

technique to gather ideas for both academic and business purpose. The

group approach used in brainstorming is several vary benefits such as

improving relationship amidst colleagues and participants. Advance models

of brainstorming that have and are being developed are geared towards

bring even further benefits in the productiveness in the process of gathering

ideas.

The related of clustering technique and both of type above, the

students were able to provide ideas and motivation students easily to

understand English vocabulary by using that technique. Hopefully, using

this technique the students were expected to have an interest in continuing

to cultivate their writing abilities by increasing their knowledge about

English vocabulary. And in this case, the writer using a clustering

technique to improve students‟ writing vocabulary mastery.

4. Application of Clustering Technique in Teaching

Based on the statement above, it can be said that clustering is a

strategy that can be generating or connecting ideas related to one for

developing subtopics by using material for a paper.

Page 35: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

23

The steps of clustering technique in this research were:

1. The student taken a sheet of blank paper and wrote down the topic in the

middle of a sheet paper and circle it.

2. The students made a connecting line to show how they related as well.

3. Made a circle on each connecting line and wrote down ideas in the circle.

4. Wrote down examples, facts, or other details relating to each idea, and

join them to the appropriate circles.

5. Made a new circle inside of the ideas and wrote down each example for

each idea. Keep going until the students cannot think anymore relating to

the topic.

6. After completion, the students made a content or paragraph about the

ideas.

7. The Student come forward according to the group and present what they

got.

For examples of the topic My Family. Think of ideas and details relate

to this topic. And wrote words to connecting with the “My Family” in the

cluster. The picture below as example of the clustering technique.

24

Figure 2.1 The Application of the Clustering Technique

Relate of the Word Classes

From figure 2.1 explain about the application of clustering technique,

relation of the word classes it would be explain with the topic “My Family”.

The surrounding words was related to noun. There are grandmother,

grandfather, mother, father, sister, brother, nephew, and niece.

5. The Advantages of Clustering Technique

In general, every technique of teaching have advantages and

disadvantages. Teachers must consider kind of technique that suitable with

the students and they were to be active in a process in teaching and learning.

By using clustering technique there were some advantages that can be found

as follow:

a) Students were able to find a new vocabulary to other terms and concepts

they were already familiar with, it helping them to connecting a new

vocabulary into their knowledge.

b) Students more creative to connect new words to what they know before.

MY FAMILY

Grandmother Grandfather

Mother

Father

Sister Brother

Niece Nephew

Page 37: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

25

c) Clustering technique can gave the students motivation in learning

process.

d) Clustering technique can help the students to organize the student mind

and their interest.

6. The Weakness of Clustering Technique

a) The students were difficult to find words related to the topic because lack of

vocabulary.

b) Not all the students can think fast to find the ideas from the topic.

c) Class might would be noisy during learning for all group because students were

busy to discussing.

d) The students need more control and it would be taken a lot of time to make the

students understand.

7. Conceptual Framework

The mastery of vocabulary was not easy to do because there were

several words that difficult to understand the meanings, it was need time to

remember it words. In teaching English vocabulary there were many

techniques that the teacher can apply in the class. One of them was the use of

clustering technique, by using this technique the students were more

interested and would be motivated to learning English vocabulary.

The conceptual framework underlying this research would given in

the following diagram.

The diagram of conceptual framework, as below:

B. Population and Sample

1. Population

The population of this research was the 8th

grade of the students‟ at SMPN 11

Maros Baru, in 2019-2020 academic years.

2. Sample

This research was applied cluster random sampling technique. The writer

was chosen one class of the 8th

grade students‟ at SMPN 11 Maros Baru, that

consist of 30 students. The writer was divided those students into 4 group, each

group consist of 8 students.

C. Research Variables and Indicators

a. Variable

A variable is everything that would become that object of research or the

influencing that would study. Variable is everything to which the writer expects.

There are two variables in this research, namely:

a) Independent variable, that is the using of clustering technique.

b) Dependent variable in this research that was improving the students writing in

terms of content and vocabulary.

b. Indicators

The indicators of this research was the improvement of students writing in terms

of content and vocabulary.

D. Research Instrument

The instrument of this research was writing test. The writing test was used to

find out the students writing. The writer gave pre-test to get data on the students’ prior

Page 41: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

26

knowledge before treatment and the post-test gave to identify the students’ improvement

in writing content and vocabulary after treatment. The function here was to knowthe

improvement of students’ writing content and vocabulary test.

E. Procedure for Collecting Data

In collecting the data, the writer follows the procedure below:

1. Pre-test

Before giving treatment, the writer gave a pre-test for each students‟ in the

pre-experimental class. The pre-test intend to know the students writing in terms

of content and vocabulary before giving a treatment.

2. Treatment

After the pre-test, the writer taught the students for 6 meetings. Teaching

and learning about the objective of material and writer gave the information about

the procedure of using clustering technique.

Opening activities

1) The writer introduced the rules or system of learning to the students.

2) The writer introduced Clustering Technique to the students.

Lesson activity

1) The writer explained what is Clustering Technique.

2) The writer explained the benefit of Clustering Technique in terms of content

and vocabulary for teaching and learning process.

3) The writer explained the materials of content and vocabulary in teaching and

learning process.

Page 42: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

27

4) The writer divided the students into four groups and each group should choose

one of topic. After getting one topic to be collect, than students‟ find out the

ideas of the topic. Before that the students take a sheet of blank paper and

wrote down the topic in the middle of sheet paper and circle it. The students

made several connecting lines and made a circle on each connecting lines than

wrote down the ideas. The students made a new circle inside of the ideas and

wrote down each example for each ideas. The students‟ made a content from

the ideas. After completion, each group came forward according to the group

and present what they got.

Closing activities

1) The writer summarized the learning material.

2) The writer closed the class.

3. Post-test

Post-test was given to the class after the last treatment, the procedure of

the post-test was the same with the pre-test. Functions of the post-test that was to

know the students‟ knowledge and ability in writing content and vocabulary after

teaching by using clustering technique.

F. Data Analysis

In analyzing the data from writing test, the writer applied some steps as

follows:

1. Scoring the result of the students‟ test classify

The writer correct the students writing based on the analogies scale for writing.

CHAPTER IV

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter presents the findings of the research and discussion. The findings of

the research covered with the result of the data collected through the test. In discussion

part, the writer described the interpretation of the findings.

A. Findings

1. Clustering Technique Improve the Students’ Writing in Terms of Content

and Vocabulary

In findings section, the writer has calculated the result of research at

SMPN 11 MAROS BARU. The findings of this research deal with the students‟

score which cover students‟ score classification, the mean score and standard

deviation of pre-test and post-test, and hypothesis testing. These finding describe

as follows:

32

While, the rate percentage of score pre-experimental class in content

from 30 students as table 4.1 shows that there are students got excellent score.

There were 3 (5%) students got excellent score, 12 (45%) students got very good

students, 7 (30) students got good score, 4 (10%) students got fair score, and 4

(10%) students acquired poor score.

b. The Classification of Students Scores Writing in Term of Vocabulary

5. Poor 50-59 2 5%

Total 30 100%

Table 4.2 shows the rate percentage scores of pre-experimental class in

Vocabulary from 30 students, there are students got very good and good score

and there is no got excellent. There were 7(20%) students got very good score, 9

(30%) students got Good Score, 12 (45%) students got Fair score and 2 (5%)

students acquired poor score.

Base on the result above, writer conclude that the rate percentage in post-

test was greater than the rate of percentage in pre-test.

2) The Mean Score and Standard Deviation of Pre-Test and Post-Test

The following figure shows the distribution of mean score and

standard deviation in pre-test and post-test.

Figure 4.2 The Mean Score in Term of Vocabulary

Figure 4.2 showed that there was improvement of the students‟

writing in term of vocabulary through clustering technique, from pre-test

with the mean score was 69,1 while post-test with the mean score was 76,3.

2. Hypothesis Testing

To know the level of significance of the pre-test and post-test, the

writer uses t-test analysis on the level of significance (p) = 0.05 with the

degree of freedom (df) = N-1 (30-1=29), where N = number of subject (30

subject) and the value of t-table is 2.045. the following figure show the result

of t-test calculation:

Table 4.5: The Calculating T-Test of the Students’

Content 4,47 2.045

Vocabulary 9,66 2.045

Table 4.5 shows that the t-test value of content was higher than t-table that

was (4,47>2,045). it means that there was a significance difference between the

students‟ writing in content before and after applied the clustering technique in the

class. While t-test in vocabulary also higher than t-table (9,66>2.045). it means

that there was a significance different between the students‟ writing before and

after applied clustering technique. From the statement above shows that the null

hypothesis ) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis ) was accepted.

Based on the statement above, the writer conclude that there was a

significant difference between the result of the students‟ pre-test and post-test

achievement after given treatment through clustering technique, Thus, teaching

writing in terms of content and vocabulary through clustering technique was fairly

effective method in improving the students‟ writing skill at the 8th

grade students‟

in SMPN 11 MAROS BARU.

B. Discussion

Clustering Technique Improves the Students’ Writing in Terms of Content and

Vocabulary

The description of the data collected through test as explained in the previous

section shows that the students‟ writing in terms of content and vocabulary improved

considerably. It was supported by the mean score rate of the students‟ pre-test and

post-test. The used of clustering technique and implementation it in the classroom,

help the students could know more about how makes a content and vocabulary. It can

be inferred statistically based on t-test value that clustering technique was fairly

effective in improving students‟ writing in terms of content and vocabulary.

Teaching content and vocabulary is not easy to do. There were some

problems encountered by the writer during the teach content and vocabulary in the

classroom; the first they were not interested in learning and the second the students‟

difficulties to improve their vocabulary words because lack of vocabularies. Almost

of them were confused, spend much time to think. Clustering technique is one of the

technique that can help the students to improve their writing content and

vocabularies. Moreover, the clustering technique can stimulus their mind. The

Page 52: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

37

finding of this research is same with what Oshima and Hogue in Styati, (2010: 15)

point out that clustering technique is another brainstorming activity that the students

can use to generate ideas. This technique was hoped to solve the problem because

usually students get difficulties to develop their ideas in writing activity because they

were still poor in vocabulary. This technique was helpful for the students‟ to improve

their writing content and vocabulary. In furthermore Smalley and Mary in Andayani,

(2017: 67) state that there are some procedure of using clustering technique namely;

first the students‟ wrote the topic in the middle of a blank paper and made a circle

around it. Then made a line out from the circle and wrote an idea with the topic.

Continue to map or cluster until the students‟ cannot think anymore ideas. Clustering

technique helped the students‟ easier to understand the material. The students‟ were

more interested and making students‟ think creatively in learning English especially

content and vocabulary.

To overcome the problem, clustering technique in term of content and

vocabulary was proposed to be applied in teaching writing. Students become

increasingly motivated to complete a writing in term of vocabulary as their ideas

emerge in organized form. Significant difference in writing content and vocabulary

were found between learners who received traditional writing that depended on the

text books only and those who were trained to use clustering technique to brainstorm,

generate and organize idea. It means that use of clustering technique proved to be a

powerful way for improving students‟ writing in terms of content and vocabulary to

generate the ideas. It made the topic more structured. Students‟ were using clustering

technique became faster and more efficient in generating and organizing ideas in the

Page 53: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

38

content and were able to generate more detailed ideas than students‟ who did not use

clustering technique. Moreover, the present study revealed positive effect of

clustering technique on students‟ attitudes towards clustering technique activity.

The using of clustering technique was fairly effective in improving the

students‟ writing skill in content and vocabulary. It was supported by the mean score

of students‟ on pre-test in content 74,1 which were categorized as good and the mean

score of the students‟ on the post-test was 69,1 where categorized as fairly. The mean

score on pre-test in vocabulary was 72,7 which were categorized as good

classification and the mean score of the students on the pos-test was 76,3 which were

categorized as very good. It means that the using of clustering technique fairly

effective in improving the students‟ writing in terms of content and vocabulary. This

finding of this research is similarities with Surya (2014: 45) state that after

conducting the action, the researcher gave positive responses about the action. The

researcher felt satisfied with the improvement made by the students‟ focus on

vocabulary score. The researcher also motivated to use vocabulary clustering

technique because it could facilitate the students‟ in improving their vocabulary.

Based on the result of the students‟ vocabulary score, it was found out that the

students‟ vocabulary score was improving. It was indicated that the use of

vocabulary cluster could motivate to retain and enrich their vocabulary. Most of the

students‟ gained good score at the end of each cycle. The students‟ average score in

preliminary study was 59.3 in the first cycle, and the average score in the first cycle

was 68.9 second cycle was 75.1.

Page 54: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO … · THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL (A Pre-Experimental Research Design at the 8th

39

The result of the t-test also supported this technique. The pre-test and post-

test result from content and vocabulary shows that t-test value for pre-test and post

test score of students writing was (4,47>2,045) for content and vocabulary

(9,66>2,045). It was said that the null hypothesis ) was rejected and the

alternative hypothesis ) was accepted. It means that there was a significant

difference between the result of the students‟ pre-test and post-test achievement after

giving treatment through clustering technique, Thus, teaching writing content and

vocabulary through clustering technique was fairly effective method in improving

the students‟ writing skill at the 8th

grade students in SMPN 11 MAROS BARU.
