1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the study

Language is a communication tool to express someone’s feeling through verbal action. Language is very important to get clear information that would be a basic tool to increase insights, knowledge and link each other.

H. Doughlas Brown stated that a consolidation of a number of possible definitions of language yields the following composite definition; (1) language is systematic, (2) language is a set of arbitrary symbols, (3) those symbols are primarily vocal, but may also be visual, (4) those symbols have conventionalized meaning to which they refer, (5) language is used for communication, (6) language operates in a speech community or culture, (7) language is essentially human, although possibly not limited humans, (8) language is acquired by all people in much the same way, language and language world.1 From the statement above, it is very clearly to be interpreted that language is a complex definition. Language is a practice, someone does a practical thing through language; it is possible to achieve the goal of language as communication tools. Carlson defines practice simply as “repeated performance of the same (or closely similar) routines”.2 So, it means that practice is a repetition way of performance through effort that creates a habit, because someone who has a habit for something, he can be easy to do it.

Now days, most of information are delivered by English language. The entire world is considering that English is as international network of communication to unite among countries. Jeremy Harmer stated that although

English is not the language with the largest number of native of ‘first’

language speaker, it has become a lingua franca.3

English in Indonesian school is learnt from Elementary school until University. Sometimes students are not feeling well when they communicate by using English, they do not feel confident enough and they cannot convey their ideas orally, but they are able to understand what people are saying in English. Indonesia is not a country where people learn English as a second language but Indonesian learns English as a foreign language, because

Indonesia is very diverse, a lot of cultures with their ‘mother tongue’, that’s

why Indonesian language becomes the second language to unit people around the regions and cultures. It is very challenging as a foreign language learner to learn English as foreign language.

There are a lot of factors that can cause the low English learning achievement. They can come from inside such as self motivation or self needs and outside of individual such as family, teacher, or environment that cause the effect in learning English achievement.

Robert E. Slavin defined that motivation is also one of the most difficult to measure. What makes a student need to learn? The willingness to put effort into learning is product of many factors, ranging from the students’ personality and abilities to characteristics of particular learning tasks, incentives for learning, settings, and teacher’s behaviors.4 Motivation is very important aspect in teaching the students who are not too interested in learning English. Therefore in learning English, students with higher motivation will have better English, while those with lower motivation will have worse one.

Zoltan Zornrey stated that ‘motivation’ is related to one of the most basic aspects of the human mind, and most teachers and researchers would agree that it has a very important role in determining success or failure in any learning situation.5 It is very interesting about how mind set can break the role

of successful and failure, it depends on the students persuade themselves to solve it through motivation. It is very challenging to create self motivation,

(18)

and students should have good environment such as teacher who will give them the support to raise their motivation to achieve their mental resources in getting successful in learning process. As stated by Lewis, Massad and Carrol, it is reported that how teachers perceive their own competence in the foreign language affects students’ achievement.6 Teachers’ competence will influence

students in achieving their English score, because teachers become trendsetter

of the students who will imitate everything teacher’ teaching, the teachers who have good competence and good self-motivation, it will help much students to grow with their own ability in learning process. Competence is not only higher in academic but also has good behavior which will be a model for students.

Maslow said that individual needs must be satisfied in this sequence: physiological, safety, love and belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization.7 Students can be easy to achieve their learning process, they have to know their potential through their needs that are supported by teacher and environment in order can achieve what they need to achieve in study.

Achievement motivation is the expectancy of finding satisfaction in mastering challenging performances.8 Students will be satisfied when they can achieve their English learning achievement. It is a process to find it, students need to follow rule of study, it can help student to build their self-trust with their ability through assessment and evaluation. Brindley stated that assessment differs from evaluation. It can be useful to look at the distinction between the two. Assessment refers to collecting information and making

judgment on a learner’s knowledge, whereas evaluation is used when

collecting and interpreting information for making decisions about the effectiveness of an education program.9 The students can achieve their good

score through the assessment; it can be successful in learning process. But, when the students cannot achieve their good score, it might be a challenge for students to develop their motivation in learning, it means that role of teacher will be an effectiveness to encourage students’ motivation.

MTsN Pamulang has a good environment which supports teaching and learning process. Besides, the facilities are also completely provided at the school such as education tools, the buildings, natural resources, technology, competence teachers, and various students from different background. Islamic Junior High School Pamulang where 2nd grade is this study proposed.

There are some factors that affect students’ achievement in learning

forign language. After doing the survey, found it second grade class 1 of Bina Prestasi is the one of growing classes. So, that’s why the class called by Bina Prestasi, although the students come from lower achievement. The teacher mentioned that Bina Prestasi is hoped to motivate them in learning process especially in learning English. This is one of the problem faced in this school, the students has less motivation in learning English. So, MTsN is using Contextual Teaching Learning (CTL) method to create student as center of teaching and learning process and teachers are trying to create fun learning to motivate them more in learning English, although all of those things are still difficult to apply at school.

Besides that, the students has to achieve minimum score is 75 as Minimum Mastery Criterion – Kriteria Ketuntasa Minimum (KKM). It means that students should achieve that’s score even some of them have to do remedial to complete the score many times to reach the standard score.

And then, teachers and students forget about the basic of English learning is to communicate because only reaching out the score itself. In fact, students are not confident to communicate their English ability although they have learnt English much in the class.

(20)

B. Identification of the Study

Based on the background study above, the problem related to the

students’ motivation in learning English could be identified as follows. 1. Some students are less motivation to learn English.

2. Some students are difficult to achieve their English learning score. 3. The students are not confident enough to communicate their English.

C. Limitation of the Problem

As mentioned in the background above, the problem is limited only on motivation in correlation with students’ achievement in learning English. In this research, the object of the study is limited at the second year students of MTs Negeri Pamulang, Jalan Pajajaran No.31 Pamulang, Kota Tangerang Selatan, Banten 15417, Indonesia.

D. Formulation of the Problem

Based on the background of the problem, the research problem is formulated as follows” Is there any correlation between students’ motivation and their learning English achievement?”

E. Objective of the Study

The objective of this study is as follows:

1. Knowing the English learning achievement of the second grade students at Bina Prestasi Class of MTsN Pamulang.

2. Gaining the motivation score of the second grade students at Bina Prestasi Class of MTsN Pamulang.

3. Correlating the students' motivation and achievement in learning English of the second grade students at Bina Prestasi Class of MTsN Pamulang.

F. Significance of the Study

This study is expected to give new insights for the writer, teachers’ and

6 CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

A. Motivation

1. The Understanding of Motivation

There are many definitions of motivation by experts from different

backgrounds. The term “motivation” is derived from the Latin verb

movere (to move). The idea of movement is reflected in such common sense ideas about motivation as something that gets someone going, keeps him working, and helps him complete tasks.1 John De Cecco stated that motivation is also related to learning itself: The amount of effort, energy, and vigor a student invest in any performance will be one factor in determining how well he performs.2 It means that motivation is a movement that can raise good energy to keep someone’s performance in learning well as much as students’ investment does.

Herbert L. Petri and John M. Govern claimed that motivation is the concept used when he describes the forces of acting on or within an organism to initiate and direct behavior.3Charles Cofer and Mortimer Appley believed that the general statement “without motivation there

would be no behavior” is without meaning.4 It means that motivation

influences the behavior; good motivation will result in good behavior. Jeremy Harmer stated that motivation is some kind of internal drive that encourages somebody to pursue course of actions. Robert S.

Feldman continued that “A drive is motivational tension, or arousal, that

energizes behavior in order to fulfill some need.5 In describing the nature

1 Paul R. Pintrich, Motivation in Education, (New Jersey: Pearson Merrill Prentice Hall, 2008), 3rd Edition, p.4

2 John P. De Cecco, The Psychology of Learning and Instruction: Educational Psychology, (New York: Prentice Hall, 1968) p. 132

3 Herbert L. Petri and John M. Govern, Motivation: Theory, Research, and Applications, (Wadsworth Thomson, 2004), 5th edition, p. 16

4Ibid., p. 133

(22)

of the motivated state, some theorists would pay most attention to the physiological conditions responsible for such things as hunger, thirst, pain, and sex drive.6It means that motivation can be a drive which drives the internal person to get his needs through energy which comes from motivation.

Motivation is about how to set the mindset, as what Carol Dweck

said “most recent analyses of motivation for achievement stress the

importance of children developing a mindset.7 From this statement, it can

be understood that mindset is a part of motivation which will influence the outer journey of life. A good condition will be created when one has a good mindset and vice versa, bad condition will be created with a bad mindset. To maintain a positive mindset may be of a great challenge, however it can be useful for one’s learning process towards an achievement.

The abstract term “motivation” on its own is rather difficult to define. It is easier and more useful to think in terms of the “motivated”

learner: one who is willing or even eager to invest an effort in learning activities and to progress. Learner motivation makes teaching and learning immeasurably easier and more pleasant, as well as more productive: hence the importance of the topic for teachers.8 From this statement is understood that teachers can give a stimulus to the students to be motivated learners and they should know the students’ needs in the class in order to properly encourage them.

The authors of classic study of successful language learning came to the conclusion that the most successful learners are not necessary those who display certain typical characteristics, most of which are clearly associated with motivation. Some of these characteristics include are; (a)

6 John M. Stephens, The Psychology of Classroom Learning, (New York:Rinehart and Winston,1965), p. 187

7 John W. Santrock, Educational Psychology,(New York: McGraw Hill, 2009) Updated 4th Edition,p. 472

(23)

8

Positive task orientation - the learner is willing to tackle tasks and challenges and has confidence in his or her success. (b) Ego involvement – means the learner finds it important to success in learning in order to maintain and promote his or her own (positive) self-image. (c) Need for achievement, which means the learner has a need to achieve, to overcome difficulties and succeed in what he or she sets out to do. (d) High aspiration - the learner is ambitious, goes for demanding challenges high proficiency, top grades. (e) Goal orientation - means that the learner is very aware of the goals of learning or learning activities, and directs his efforts towards achieving them. (f) Perseverance - means the learner very consistently invests a high level of effort in learning and is not discouraged by setbacks or apparent lack of progress. (g) Tolerance of ambiguity - means that the learner consistently invests a high level to effort in situation involving a temporary lack of understanding on confusion; he can live with this patiently and in the confidence that understanding will be coming later.9

According to Penny Ur’s description above, it gets the

interpretation through the typical of characteristics for successful students. Good aspiration will bring the learners eagerness to have a goal orientation that will impact the responsibility to complete the tasks, so it will get the need to be achieved because of that the effort. The learners are able to set strong ambitions to become confidence and patience in achieving the successful in learning process.

A simple but accurate definition of motivation is not easy. It must be able to include terms that refer to such diverse states as desires, wishes, plans, goals, intents, impulses, and purposes. Some of these states imply a deliberate and calculated process involving reasons, whereas others convey a flavor of spontaneity. And then, Fritz Heider emphasized that

(24)

“the process by which makes these interpretations or attributions causal motivation.”10

2. Kinds of Motivation

Motivation can be divided into two kinds: intrinsic motivation (the urge to encourage in the learning activity for its own sake) and extrinsic motivation (motivation that is derived from external incentives). Both of these have important roles to play in classroom motivation, and both are at least partially accessible to teacher influence.11 It means that there should be synchronization and a balance between the inner and outer growth. a. Intrinsic of motivation

According to Jeremy Harmer, intrinsic motivation depends on what takes place in the classroom.12 And then, John W. Santrock said that intrinsic motivation is based on internal factors, such as self-determination, curiosity, challenge, and effort, which indicate that the internal factors themselves influence the learner.13 Richard I. Arends stated that intrinsic motivation causes people to act in a certain way because it brings personal satisfaction.14Saundra K. Ciccarelli& J. Noland White said that intrinsic motivation is the type of motivation in which a person performs an action because the act itself is rewarding or satisfying in some internal manner.15 The statements, it can be understood that intrinsic motivation is driven by an interest or enjoyment in the task itself, and exists within the individual rather than relying on external pressures or desire for an obvious external reward. Stephanie Gerding says that everyone is motivated by personal desires,

interests, and goals. Besides that, intrinsic motivation occurs when someone is internally motivated to do something because it brings him pleasure, he views it as important, or he considers what he is learning morally significant. This would include an internal desire to learn, such as in lifelong learning, and also feeling of obligation, needs for satisfaction or accomplishment, or even interest related to hobbies.16

It can be understood that desires, interests, goals, and hobbies related to interests are the characteristic of intrinsic of motivation which are related to the personal development in learning process, specifically English learning at school.

b. Extrinsic Motivations

Penny Ur states that extrinsic motivation is that which derives from the influence of some kind of external incentive, as distinct from the wish to learn for its own case or interest in tasks. Penny Ur named five factors that can be directly influenced by teachers: (1) Sources and its rewards, this is perhaps the single most important feature in rising extrinsic learners who succeeded in the past. When the student is successful at certain task, he will be likely to try it again and become more confident. In the motivation process, the role of a teacher toward this aspect is to make learners aware of their accomplishments and appraised for their work and effort. They can be presented by good grades, appraisals in front of peers, or external awards. (2) Failure and it penalties, failure is not just a matter of wrong answer, learner should be aware that they are failing when they have done significantly than they could have, because they are making unsatisfactory progress or not taking action. Failure in any sense is generally regarded as something to be avoided, just as success in something to be sought. But this should be taken too far. For one thing, success cases its

(26)

sweetness if it is too easily attained and if there is no real possibility or experiences of failure. (3) Authoritative demand, Learners are often led by teacher pressure. They may be willing to invest effort in tasks simply because they are told to recognize teachers’ authority and right for making demands, and trust their judgment. Even if authoritative demands need to be exercised more on the younger learners, older learners and adults do require them, especially clear demands, as well. Authoritative demands can be, of course, over-used or misused, of learners only to do things with obedience, and without any awareness of objectives and result or involvement in decisions. Therefore, authority plays a vital role to maintain discipline among students at a certain level and can be substituted with other creative activities to create their intrinsic motivations. (4) Test, Tests may have high motivational impact on some learners. The motivating power of the test appears clear to those that know they are going to be tested on a specific material next week and when it gets closer, they are motivated to study more carefully. However, tests can also be motivating because they cause stress on the students about their results. Therefore, teachers need to be aware of both of their motivating and negative impacts so as to stress on the importance of the tests as part of the learning process. Students should be kept well informed that language learning is for practical use and tests are just evaluation tools to measure their progresses. (5) Competition, Some learners will often be motivated to give their best not for the sake of the learning itself but in order to be at their opponent in a competition. While it can be a very good motivation to some extent, competition can cause less cooperation and teamwork among classmates. Therefore, some experts claimed that it is advisable to use group competitions in replacement of individual ones in a learning environment.17

Extrinsic Motivation is to encourage in an activity as a means to an end. Students will be inspired to study when they can pass their goals and successful in desirable outcomes such as a reward, teacher praise, friends praise, or avoidance of punishment. It directly will make them happy in doing their study.

Extrinsically, motivated behaviors are carried out in anticipation or a reward from outside and beyond itself. Some factors come from extrinsic motivation; (1) Teacher, the relationship between teachers and pupils is of fundamental importance to effective teaching.18 (2) Parent, the most important experience for parents and their newborn babies is that of bonding – boding is so important that when the infant cannot bond to a person because there is no person available, the infant will bond to an animal or even to an object.19 (3) Social, social facilitation can reflect a coactions effect, which is a form of modeling that occurs when performance is motivated as a result of other performing the same action, or an audience effect that reflects the

energizing of one’s behavior due to the presence of observers.20

Based on the definition above, motivation is the power comes also from outside of students. That it will influence students to motor their life education in achieving a good value of learning and a good result of achievement itself. Many experts have defined the extrinsic motivation differently, but it has the same meaning and purpose. Extrinsic motivation is caused by any number or outside factors, for example, the need to pass exam, the hope for financial reword or the possibility of future travel. Another important point to be kept in mind is that ultimate purpose of some extrinsic motivations is to influence and enhance the intrinsic ones that come from inside of the students.

B. Achievement

Achievement motivation is the expectancy of finding satisfaction in mastering challenging performances.21 It means that students’ satisfaction can be achieved when the result after facing challenging by doing it, is fully attained.

In all types of classroom, teacher talk is important, and has been extensively researched and documented. In language classrooms it is particularly important because the medium is the message. The modification which teachers make to their language, questions they ask, feedback they provide and the types of instructions and explanations they provide can all have an important bearing, not only on the effective management of the classroom, but also on the acquisition by learners of the target language.22The information above is a mutual relationship with teachers and students to get messages in dealing with the instructions and teacher should be able to support the students with their curiosity without any judgment.

Schunk showed that difficult goals raised children’s academic

motivation more than easier goals and persuasive information (“you can work

25 problems.”) Increased self-efficacy more than social comparative

information, and the difficult goals plus persuasive information led to the highest achievement.23 Sometimes comparative information can be a good way to stimuli students’ motivation to make a goal easier. Some students will feel excited to reach more of achievement in the class when teacher can give them a good way of comparative information. Sometimes, some students will feel down when they cannot be like their competitor in the class. Therefore, the stimulus can be created well; they will have the eagerness to do what the good students have done.

Achievement test measures students’ present status with a set of skills. Achievement tests are used to evaluate the effectiveness of instructional program and identify students with learning disabilities.24 It means that achievement can be modified into a test, in order to know the standard of ability of the students. Peter Airasian stated that a standardized assessment is the one that (1) is designed to be used in many different classrooms and schools and (2) is administered, scored, and interpreted in the same way for all test takers no matter when or where it is given. Commercial achievement tests are usually given each year. They provide information about pupil performance over time and identify strengths and weaknesses.25 As mentioned by Albert, a teacher needs to be knowledgeable about standardized tests, not only to defend against their misuse, but also to take advantage of the information they can provide. An appropriately selected standardized test can

furnish a snapshot of students’ abilities, identifying areas of probable strengths

and weaknesses. Based on the statements above, it can be analyzed that test is a good way to know the ability of students in understanding the learning process and standardized test will not only improve their achievement in school area or local area but also prove the ability that students have overseas. So, it can motivate students to achieve more of their knowledge, skills and potentials.

Based on a long series of studies, McClelland and Alschuler have concluded that successful decision makers share certain characteristics: They compete with a standard of excellence in mind, they take moderate risks, and they make good use of creating feedback. Sprinthall stated that three characteristics term the achievement syndrome.26 The experts above also

stated that in order to achieve success, students need to be good decision makers. Becoming a decision maker is a big challenge because of the social

(30)

environment forces and some students are of less confidence and not to be brave showing their ability.

James E. Twining stated that evaluating your success in learning means judging whether or not you achieved your purpose and are able to retain what you have learned. It is a continuous cycle of self-testing and review. Regular self-testing promotes successful academic performance.27

Talking about an evaluation, we can see that many kinds of tests are used in the schools today. For teachers, the question of what constitutes a good test is pertinent to the tasks of selecting standardized tests and constructing achievement tests utilizing a wide variety of other evaluative devices. In general, the basic characteristics that need to be considered in either selecting or constructing a test or other evaluative devices are: validity, reliability, objective, and practicality.

Achievement motivation is the desire to experience success and to participate in activities in which success is dependent on personal effort and abilities.28 Achievement and motivation have a positive correlation and are walking together, but it depends on personal effort to achieve the success.

One definition of achievement can be found in the Dictionary of

Education (which is currently undergoing its first revision in over two decades).

In this reference, achievement is defined as "(1) accomplishment or proficiency of performance in a given skill or body of knowledge; (2) progress in school" (C. V. Good, 1973, p. 7). Academic achievement is defined as "knowledge gained or skills developed in the school subjects, usually designated by test scores or by marks assigned by teachers, or by both" (p. 7).29

It means that achievement is an indicator about students’ achieving in

the class in leaning process. The achievement is commonly designed by scores through English test in the class. Achievement will be accumulated from English learning which has been done by students through a test where is

scored by teacher as an evaluation for both teachers and students what they have done in learning process.

C. Learning

Anita Woolfolk stated that learning occurs when experience causes a

relatively permanent change in an individual’s knowledge or behavior.30 And

then, George S. Morrison stated that learning refers to the cognitive and behavioral changes that result from experiences.31 Besides, Jeanne Ellis

Ormrod stated that learning as a long term change in mental representations or associations as a result of experience.32Ellen Green Wood said that learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior, knowledge, capability, or attitude that is acquired through experience and cannot be attributed to illness, injury, or maturation.33Through the statements above, there is new insight that experience creates learning; identically experience is a way to learn something new, from the experience someone can learn something that will change the behavior of him, it can develop his way of behavior and find his needs in doing daily activities because he can develop knowledge, skill and so on.

The discussion of each learning approach includes suggestions for specific techniques and methods of teaching to guide teachers in understanding student behavior and in making decision about how to teach.34 It means that learning is not always about teaching; it is about how to know each other, especially to know students’ characters. And then, Nelson B. Henry stated that learning is herein seen as far more closely interrelated with the process of living than most among one thought.35 It is very interesting,

(32)

because learning is not about thinking but it is about living in real life, learning can be from communication, observation and conversation among learners.

Associative learning occurs when a connection, or an association, is made between two events.36 Continued by John W. Santrock that associative

learning is divided into two types of conditioning: classical and operant those two events are connected. In classical conditioning, organisms learn the association between two stimuli. Besides that, in operant condition, organisms learn the association between a behavior and a consequence.37 The experts give one the associative learning description that is internal and external needs during learning process, inside or outside needs to support students in associating their power stable.

Alice and Lester D. Crow stated that learning is complex. At one and the same time, and individual is (1) learning new skills or improving those that already are operating, (2) building a store of information or knowledge, and (3) developing interests, attitudes, and ways of thinking.38 Basically, learning is not as easy as ones think about. It can be easy to understand about learning but practically is really challenging for them, in doing a great thing is always challenging, and students need to be able to manage their mindset and motivation. Learning is a long process, although someone dies, learning will be growing if he can show a good life as inspiration and motivation to people around.

When students run into trouble in completing an assignment or in making progress in general in gaining proficiency in their foreign language, it is often useful to look at what they are doing when they learn. The activities and techniques they use to learn are called learning strategies. These strategies tend to fall into various groups, which are considered to represent a

(33)

18

more abstract set of tendencies that are called learning styles.39 It means that learning strategies and styles can be ways of learning process to achieve learning progress, because learning strategies is to develop their mind’s sensitivity to create creativity and learning styles is to develop their ways or styles in learning, so they can identify their potential through it.

Dale H. Schunk mentioned 3 (three) criteria of learning, (1) Learning involves change-in behavior or in the capacity for behavior. People learn when they become capable of doing something differently. (2) Learning endures over time. (3) Learning occurs through experience.40It makes a chance to student to change their behavior and achieve learning process through ways of learning, because everyone has their own capacity and potentials which are likely to grow if students can be guided into their own motivation and communicate with outside to have a good chance to grow with.

D. Review of Previous Related Research

There are some researches related to the correlation between students’

motivation with their achievement. The first one is who wrote her paper research, entitled “The Correlation between Students’ Motivation and Their

Achievement in Learning English.” (A Correlational Study at Eight Grade of

MTs Negeri Parung Bogor).She conducted this research because; based on her opinion, in learning English, the motivation of the student is able to distinguish the way of the student to achieve a good result in English. This quantitative research showed that there is no significant correlation between

students’ motivation and their achievement in learning English. The

relationship between her researches is almost the same. She uses the

motivation’s students as variable. But, it is different students’ variable and school level or institution.

39MadelineEhrman, Achieving Success in Second Learning Acquisition, (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2005), p. 66

(34)

The second one is from Heryanti with her research paper entitled, “The

correlation between students’ interests and their achievement in learning English.”(A Case Study at the Second Year Students of SMP Negeri 178

Jakarta). This research used the correlation technique to identify the correlation between students’ interests and their achievement in learning English. This research used the correlation technique to identify the

correlation between students’ interests and their achievement in learning

English. The result assessed by using liker scale questionnaires test, showed that there is correlation between these two factors. This research has a similar approach on the variable to be examined. She used interests of the students as variables; however, it used motivation of the students as variables. Interest is one of the categories of motivation itself that included. The different are the variable in quantity of students, school level or institution and motivation as an issue in research.

And the last one is Dwi Gitawati, who wrote her last paper entitled,

“Correlation between Students’ Motivation and Their Achievement in Learning English.” (Correlational Study in the Eight Class of MTs Al -Hamidiyah). This quantitative research tried to find out the correlation

between students’ motivation and their achievement in the class. The result showed that was the same result with the first previous research that

mentioned it above. That was not significant correlation between students’

motivation and their achievement in English. She has the almost same research, but the specific difference placed in the variable, the quantity of the variable that used.

E. Framework of Thinking

(35)

20

Achievement is the result that students achieve during learning process. It shows how well students improve their learning through score achievement. If the score of learning is good, the process of learning may run well as desired. Students and teachers are two crucial factors in learning process, beside the learning environment itself that triggers students’ motivation.

Therefore, it is assumed that everything can be attained in learning process by the motivation to have achievement. As explained above, it would be there is a relationship between students’ motivation and their English learning achievement.

F. Hypothesis

(36)

21 A. Place and Time of the Research

The research was conducted on February 2015 at the second grade of MTs Negeri Pamulang which is located on Pajajaran Street No.31 Pamulang, South Tangerang, Banten 15417, Indonesia.

B.

Method of the Research

This study was used a survey method through correlation techniques. The dependent variable of this research is English learning achievement (variable Y), and the independent variable is students' motivation (variable X). In this study, the writer would like to gain the possibility of the correlation

between the students’ motivation as independent variable (X variable) and

their achievement as dependent variable (Y variable).

C. The Population and Sample

The population of this research is the students of the second grade of MTs Negeri Pamulang. Total students of the second grade are 319 students. These students are distributed into 10 classes, 6 classes for Bina Prestasi class and 2 classes for science class, 2 classes for English bilingual and 1 class for Arabic bilingual class. In each science class consists of about 31 – 32 students. The technique of sampling in this research used cluster sampling technique. The sampling was from Bina Prestasi class 1 in this research which is consisted of about 31 students.

D. The Technique of Instrument and Data Collection

The data collection was distributed the questionnaire. Besides that,

students’ English learning achievement variable was collected from

a. Validity Instrument

Validation of instrument was conducted to see whether the instrument is capable to collect the data or not. The writer got the standard coefficient validity minimum for this instrument with N = 31 and coefficient significance level 5%. The coefficient validity is 0.3. To see the validity instrument, the writer did it through SPSS 19 Program. In validity test which was conducted in VIII of MTsN Pamulang the writer got 30 items valid from 40 items of the questionnaire. The numbers of valid item are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32, 34, 37, 38, 39, 40. The numbers of invalid item are 1, 10, 12, 19, 21, 25, 31, 33, 35, and 36. It can be seen as below:

From the result, it can be described that rresult = 0.630. The

writer compared to rtable with N = 40 and 0.5 % as significant level,

and rtable = 0.312. It can be assumed that the instrument is reliable with

rresult > rtable = 0.630 > 0.312.

2. The Technique of Data Collection

The data collection distributed a students' motivation questionnaire to the respondents. To know the students' English learning achievement, the writer used their midterm scores as the documentation. The data is collected from the English teaching.

E. The Technique of Data Analysis

The data analysis used the relationship technique, by using Pearson's product moment relationship as follows of the formula2:

rxy=

∑XY : Total Numbers of X multiplied by Y

(40)

∑X : Total Score of X ∑Y : Total Score of Y

Criteria : if rxy > rtable means there is relationship and Ha is accepted, Ho is

rejected. If rxy < rtable means there is no relationship and Ha is

rejected, Ho is accepted.

Ho : there is not significant relationship between students’ motivation

and their English learning score.

Ha : there is a significant relationship between students’ motivation

and their English learning score.

[image:40.595.114.513.104.647.2]

With that formula, it could get a description of the relationship between X variable and Y variable, as below3:

F. The Statistical Hypothesis

The statistical hypothesis with significance level 5% was formulated as follow:

Ho : r = 0

Ha : r ≠ 0

If rxy > rtable means there is correlation between X variable and Y variable, Ha

is accepted and Ho is rejected.

If rxy < rtable means there is no correlation between X variable and Y variable,

The research used questionnaire in VIII English Bina Prestasi 1 class to get motivation score. This class consists of 32 students; however 1 student did not come because she was sick. So, the respondents became 31 students. Before that, the first research was to know the validity of the data. In English learning score, the data collected from the English teacher of VIII English Bina Prestasi 1 class. The score was taken from the midterm test that was conducted in the first semester.

Finally, the data was analyzed to know the correlation between

students’ motivation and their English learning achievement with formula of

Pearson Product Moment SPSS Program and Microsoft Excel program for comparison.

The description is as table above that r coefficient is 0.091 and the sig. (2-tailed) is 0.627. After calculating the data, it can be described that there is a very weak correlation between X variable and Y variable, or it can be assumed that there is no correlation between students’ motivation score and their English learning achievement score. Based on the rtable of

product moment mentioned that significant 5% is 0.355 (see appendix).It can be described that rxy<rtable= 0.091 < 0.355, it means that Ho is rejected

and Ha is accepted.

C. The Test of Hypothesis

From the calculation Pearson’s Product moment, it was got the result of rxy= 0.091; it is between 0.00 – 0.20. It means that rxy<rtable= 0.091 < 0.355.

According to the interpretation of data above, it can be described through the result that the correlation between X variable and Y variable is very weak. In other words, it means that there is no significance correlation between

students’ motivation (X variable) and their English learning achievement (Y

variable) score.
