STRATEGI INDUCTIVE LEARNING PADA PEMBELAJARAN ENGLISH GRAMMAR UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KOMPETENSI GRAMATIKAL MAHASISWA
Abstract: This study focuses
on a class action research (CAR) which tried to apply a method of Inductive
Learning in a class of Advanced English Grammar to improve the students’
grammatical competence and to find out whether there were students’ behaviour
changes in learning English grammar. This class action research (CAR) was
conducted in two cycles. In each cycle, there were four steps, i.e planning,
acting, observing, and reflection. Every cycle was conducted in two class
meetings. The material for cycle 1 was ‘the position of adjectives’ and the
material for cycle 2 was ‘the forms of adjectives.’ The subjects of the study
were the 4 semester students of an Advanced English Grammar class in academic
year 2011/2012. These students were Literature Study Program students of
English Department Unnes. Based on the data analysis, the result of this CAR
was quiet satisfying. There was an increasing percentage of students’ test scores
between cycle 1 and cycle 2. From test cycle 1, there were 32% students who got
less than 70, while this reduced to only 24% students in test cycle 2. In
addition, there were 68% students who got 71-100 in test cycle 1 and it
increased to 76% students in test cycle 2. Based on the observation sheets and
questioners given to the students, most of them liked Inductive Learning method
to be applied in grammar classes because this method is fun and interesting.
This attitude directly influenced their activity, motivation, and behavior in
grammar classes which indirectly also increased their grammatical competence.
Finally, the pedagogical implication th of the study is the lecturers and
students are supposed to fully motivated to use Inductive Learning method in
their grammar classes. This method, hopefully, can improve students’ activity,
motivation, behavior, and grammatical competence in learning English grammar.
