CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
A. Findings
This part is divided into three main sections. The first section presents the description of the students’ intensity in using mobile learning tool in learning English, the second section describes the students’grade point average and the third section presents the relationship between Intensity in using mobile learning tool in learning English and the students’ grade point average.
1. Intensity in Using Mobile Learning Tool in learning English
This part describes the students’ intensity in using mobile learning tool in learning English. To gather the data, the researcher used questionnaire that were given to the students at the third, fifth, and seventh semester students of English Department in Muhammadiyah University of Makassar. The score of questionnaire were listed by summing up the scores of the students’ answer. The mean score of students’ intensity in using mobile learning tool in learning English shown in the following table :
Table 4.1 Mean Score of Students Intensity in Using Mobile Learning Tool No. Kinds of Mobile Learning Tool Mean Score Classification
1 Mobile Phone 15.62
Fair
2 Smartphone 15.37
3 Tablet Computer 15.97
4 Notebook computer 16.3
Total Mean Score 63.26
Table 4.1 shows the mean score of students’ Intensity in using Mobile Learning Tool was 63.26. Based on the standar classification, it was categorized as “fair”.
2. The students’ grade point average
Based on the data from the students’ grade point average, the mean score of the students’ grade point average had been determined and presented in the following table:

Table 4.2 shows the mean score of students’ grade point average was 3.54 and based on the standar classification, it was categorized as “cumlaude”.
3. The relationship between Intensity in using mobile learning tool and the students’ grade point average
Based on the students’ answer of the questionnaire about students’
intensity in using mobile learning tool in learning English (X) and the students’
grade point average(Y), the score of rxy is divided into four correlations as follow:

a. The Relationship between students’ intensity in using mobile phone and the students’ grade point average
Based on the data from students’ intensity in using smartphone in learning English and the students’ grade point average, the result of the correlation by using SPSS version 20.0 shows in the following table:

Table 4.3 shows the result of pearson correlation that there was no a significant correlation between Intensity in using mobile phone in learning English and the students’ grade point average. The significant valuewas 0.462 >
0.05. it was described that if the significant value < 0.05, it means there is a significant correlation, then if the significant value > 0.05, it means there is no a significant correlation.
The pearson correlation value was 0.097, It was conducted that the characteristic of correlation was conduction between 0.000-0.199 with “very weak” interpretation.
b. The Relationship between Students’ intensity in using smartphone and the students’grade point average
Based on the data from students’ intensity in using smartphone in learning English and the students’ grade point average, the result of the correlation by using SPSS version 20.0 shows in the following table:

Table 4.4 shows the result of pearson correlation that there was no a significant correlation between Intensity in using smartphone in learning English and the students’ grade point average. The significant valuewas 0.316 > 0.05. it was described that if the significant value < 0.05, it means there is a significant correlation, then if the significant value > 0.05, it means there is no a significant correlation.
The pearson correlation value was 0.132, It was conducted that the characteristic of correlation was between 0.000-0.199 with “very weak”
interpretation.
