CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
This chapter deals with variable and research design, population and sample, research variable, research instrument, data collection technique, and data analysis technique.
A. Research Design
The researcher used pre-experimental research design, by using one group pre-test and post-test design use one group to measure and observe. In pre-test( the researcher measure the student ability before students got a treatment, while post-test measure the student improving ability after get a treatment. The researcher used quantitative approach in this research to analyze data. Creswell (2003:18) as cited in Nawira state as “A quantitative approach is one in which the investigator primarily uses post positivists claims for developing knowledge (i.e., cause an effect thinking, reduction to specific variables and hypothesis and question, use of measurement and observation and the best the test of theories), Employs strategies of inquiry such as experiments and surveys, and collects data on predetermine instruments that yield statistical data”.
There for the research patterns of the pre-test and post-test design according to Sugiyono (2017), as follows:
O1 X O2
25
O1 =Pre-test score (before given a treatment) X = Treatment
O2 = Post-test score (after given a treatment) B. Population and Sample
1. Population
The population of this research was the first grade students of SMAN 5 Selayar. The first grade concist of two classes and each classes consist 20 students. Thus, the total number of the population 40 students.
Based on the information of the teacher each class had same ability in learning English.
2. Sample
The sample of this research was the A class of the first grade of SMAN 5 Selayar that consists of 20 students. The sample was taken by using cluster random sampling technique as all of the classes have the same characteristic.
C. Research Variables
This research concist of two kinds of variables that was dependent variable and independent variable:
1. The indepedent variable in this research was the outdoor class.
2. The dependent variable in this research was the students’ writing skill in term of content and organization.
D. Instrument of the Research
The instrument of this research was a writing test. This test was divided into pre-test and post-test. There tests were used to got the data before and after treatment to measure the students’ skill in writing.
The test showed the students’ ability in writ something. The researcher decided to use descriptive test in this research. In pre-test students showed their ability in wrote some paragraph before gave the treatment, while post- test student wrote other paragraph to measure students’ writing ability after gave the treatment.
E. Procedure of Collection Data
In this research, the researcher was used some procedure in collecting data as follows:
1. Pre-test
The technique of collecting data was giving a test. This pre-test was gived before treatment that was help the resercher to collecting data. The student was doing a test to found out how their writing skill. The researcher was gived a topic about descriptive test like describing school environment.
2. Treatment
After applied the pre-test, the researcher gave the treatment four times to the students by using outdoor class method. The procedure of the treatment as follows:
a. The researcher explain about descriptive test especially in content and organization and then the researcher asked the students to choose one object in the school and analysed.
b. The researcher asked the students to make their own descriptive text best on their object.
c. The researcher asked the students to describe the school environment.
d. The researcher asked the students about the material as evaluation and reinforcement.
3. Post-test
The last method of collecting the data was the post-test the students’ did the post-test with writing text to find out their writing skill after the treatment. It is use to measure the result of the concept outdoor class gave a progress after trearment or not. The test conducted with the same activities in pre-test.
F. Technique of Data Analysis
analyzing the data, researcher was assessed students’ work in post-test.
To know the result in analyzing students’ work researcher used procedure as fallows:

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
A. Findings
The findings of this research showed the result description of the research through the mean score of the students in pre-test and post-test in terms of content and organization achievement by using outdoor class as a method in teaching descriptive text. The findings obtained through writing test at the first grade students of SMA Negeri 5 Selayar were describe as follows:

Table 4.2 show that before giving treatment in terms of organization by using outdoor class method, in pre-test most of the students only achieved a fair score and no one of the students can achieve an excellent or very good score. It is so different with students’ scores in post-test, 6 students got excellent scores. It proved that otdoor class method can help the students’ to increase their writing dwscriptive text especially in organization.
The hypothesis tested by using inferential analysis. In this case, the researcher used t-test (test of significance) for independent variable test, that was a test to know the significant difference between the result of students’
mean scores in pre-test and post-test. The researcher used t-test analysis on the level of significant (α) = 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) = N-1 (20-1 =19), where N= number of subject (20 students) then the value of ttable was 1,729 the t- test statistical, analysis for independent variable applied. The result of the data analysis t-test of the students’ writing on descriptive text by outdoor class method as a media in table 4.3.
Table 4.3 The comparison of t-test and t-table score
Variables T-test T-tabel
Content 3,93 1,729
Organization 3,78 1,729
Table 4.3 show that the value of t-test in writing narrative text by using outdoor class method was higher than the value of t-table. The t-test value were greater than t-table (3,93>1,729). It showed that the null hypothesis (H₀ ) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H₁ ) was accepted. It means that there was a significant differences between the result of students’
writing on descriptive text after giving treatment that using outdoor class method as teaching method.
a. The Improvement of Students’ Writing on Descriptive Text in terms of Content
Students’ writing on descriptive text in terms of content aspect by using otudoor class as teaching method was different in pre-test and post- test. The result of the students of pre-test and post-test in this research could be seen in the following table:
Table 4.4 The students’ content achievement in pre-test and post-test Indicator The students score Improvement
Pre-test Post-test %
Content 64,25 75 16,7%
from the table above, it can be seen that there is a significant improvement percentages of students in writing on dscriptive text in terms of content was 16,7% after using outdoor class as teaching method. The mean score of the students in pre test were 64,25 and post-test with the mean score 75.

B. Discussion
1. Students’ Achievment in Writing Descriptive Test Using Outdoor Class Method
The research findings indicated that the students’ writing on descriptive text by using otudoor class method showed the improvement of the students writing on descriptive text in terms of content aspect. Measuring the students’ achievement between pre-test and post-test in terms of content, the results in pre-test were poor (64,25) because the students are lack in discribing the subjuct to write their descriptive text. After giving treatment, the students’ scores in post-test were good enough (75), because the students already know how to describe the subtect that the researcher gave, similarly in organization aspect, the result in pre-test were poor 63 because they still does not where their should star in describe the subject, but after giving treatment, the students’ score in post-test increased up to 74,75. This happened because the students already have knowladge on write their task. The result showed that outdoor class method could gave effect to the students’ writing on descriptive text. It could be seen from the result of the score of post-test that higher than the score of pre-test.
Therefore, most of the students were easy to get information and could organize their ideas better as well. Students were able to write a good paragraph on descriptive text.
At the beginning, the students’ writing skill was bad and the result of students’ in pre-test was low. It was caused by the students making many mistakes in writing and most of the students were difficult to write and did not know what they were going to write. The class situation before the researcher giving a treatment is the students’ did not excited to learn about descriptive text. They even did not know about what the descriptive text is.
Because of that, the researcher gave a solution by using outdoor class to increase their interest to learn descriptive text and it helped the students to understand about descriptive text and to write a good sentence. The improvement of the class situation before and after the treatment was the students more enthusiastic, motivated, and interested in joining the teaching and learning process.
Besed on the reasearch finding can be concluded that teaching by using outdoor class method can improve students’ writing skill. It supported by Sulaiman (2011) stated that outdoor class is a contextualised learning method that brings the student to learn in a particular environment. This environment is selected by the lecturer based on the outlined course objectives. This method not only highlights the concept of the knowledge itself but more importantly relates the concept to the environment or situation where the student is placed hence stimulates student motivation towards learning. Standard methods of teaching such as lecturing, which is seen as abstract, may become more effective if the student senses are stimulated by out-of-class environments.
The improvenment of the students’ writing skill in term of content and organization can be seen between pre-test and post-test. The students’
result significanly different before and after applied outdoor class method in teaching writing descriptive text. The students did not know the process to make a good structured in writing as explaned by Harmer in Nurdiana Hamid that writing is started by making planning. Before starting to write down on a paper, a writer makes a draft that it will be going through editing steps. Editing means that reflecting and revising, and the last one is the final writing which is ready to be delivered to the audience. on the other hand, the students’ content in writing descriptive text in Post-test is better than Pre-test. Development of students’ ideas has been completely developed after gave treatment.
According to Adelstein and Pival (2013) as cited in Insani, Good writing reflects the writers’ ability to organize the material into a coherent text, so that it moves logically from a central, dominant idea to the supporting points and finally to a consistent ending, and then convening to the reader sense of well thought out plan. Therefore, it can be concluded that Outdoor Learning Strategy could improve the students’ writing skill in Organization. It can be seen on the students’ organization in writing in Post-test is better than Pre-test.
Beside the data, the researcher also found another research from Moreover, Kamaruddin (2013) as cited in Mirnawati said that outdoor learning method is the activities out of school that contain activities
outside the classroom/ school land the other in the wild; such as playing in the yard of school, parks, village agriculture/fishing, camping, and activities that are adventurous and the development aspects of the relevant knowledge.
From the data that was found and supported by some theories and other the researcher finally can conclude which the using of outdoor class can improve students’ ability in writing descriptive text, even though during teaching and learning process the student still confused using structure of sentences especially in utilizing tenses and how to apply the terms and vocabulary in writing text.
CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
