CHAPTER IV RESULT OF THE RESEARCH
C. Interpretation
more comfort in asking and discussing things they might afraid to ask to teacher.
After reached the target research where 70% students should passed the minimum mastery criteria (MMC) 75. Therefore, the writer stop the classroom action research (CAR) cause it had already succeeded.
passed the minimum mastery criteria (MMC) in the post test I was 43% or 12 students out of total 28 students in the class and 16 students whose got score under MMC. That is why there still needed some improvement before the observation successed. This is the reason why the second cycle was conduct.
c. Post Test II Score

Meanwhile, the percentage of students who passed the minimum mastery criteria (MMC) was 71% which meant there are 20 students who passed MMC 75 and there are 8 students who got score under 75. The post test II in the second cycle was successed in fulfilled the target of CAR where the 70% students could pass the MMC and be more active in the class. In short, it meant the observation was sucessed and stopped.
The result from student’s score at pre-test, post test I and II could be seen in the table below:

Moreover, it increase become 215 from pre-test to post test I and become 305 from post test I to post test II.
2. The students learning process improvement through cooperative learning on cycle I & II
a. The result of students activities at cycle I
Students activities in the first cycle showed the improvement. In the first cycle there were 20 students paying attention to the materials explanation, there were 10 students answering the question given, there were 20 students who doing the task and there were 15 students that made a note about what have been explained.
b. The result of students activities at cycle II
Students activities in the second cycle showed more improvement. In the first cycle there were 20 students paying attention to the materials explanation and increased into 25 students , students who doing the task increased from 20 became 27 students, tudents who answering the question given increased from 10 students into 18 students that made a note about what have been explained became 22 from 15 students. It could be concluded that there was an improvement from students activities in second cycle.
The result of student’s activities on post test I & II could be seen below:
