Penerapan Metode Pembelajaran Talking Stick berbantuan Question Box terhadap Keterampilan Berbicara Siswa pada Mata Pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia di Kelas V MI Fathun Qarib

Abstract

This research aims to (1) describe the implementation of the talking stick learning method with the help of a question box in the Indonesian language subject class V MI Fathun Qarib, (2) describe students' speaking skills in the Indonesian language subject class V MI Fathun Qarib, and (3) find out differences in students' speaking skills between classes that use the talking stick method assisted by question boxes and the conventional model. The method used in this research is a quantitative method with a Quasi Experimental research design with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design type. This research used two classes as research subjects, namely class VA as an experimental class which applied the talking stick learning method and VB as a control class which did not apply the talking stick learning method. Data collection techniques include speaking and documentation skills tests. Data analysis consists of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics including assumption testing and hypothesis testing. The assumption test uses the normality test and homogeneity test, while the hypothesis test uses the independent sample t test. Based on the results of data analysis, it was found that, (1) the use of the talking stick method assisted by question boxes was quite effective in improving students' speaking skills. Learning activities consist of opening, core and closing activities; (2) the talking stick method assisted by a question box can improve students' speaking skills. This is proven by the students' average pretest score of 56.19 after being given the talking stick method treatment, the posttest score was 77.52; (3) there are differences in students' speaking skills between classes that use the talking stick method and the conventional model. This is proven by the results of the posttest students' speaking skills in the experimental class which obtained an average of 77.52 and the posttest in the control class obtained an average of 67.45. This is confirmed by the results of the independent sample t test that the significance level value of 0.05 is obtained by hypothesis test results of 0.000 <0.05, so H0 is rejected, meaning there is a significant difference. Thus it can be concluded that the use of the talking stick learning method assisted by question boxes is effective for students' speaking skills in the Indonesian language subject class V MI Fathun Qarib
