CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION 5.1 The Conclusion
After analyzing the data, the researcher takes the conclusion that the existing digital storytelling as interactive media in the ninth-grade students at MTsN 2 Medan, the researcher makes a video as the teaching media for helping students learn to listen to narrative text. The researcher used audio-visual media because it is an appropriate media that can be applied in the class.
Developing media by using digital storytelling follow the R & D phases by Gall et. al.
(2003) which is simplified into; (1) Gathering Data and Information; (2) Need Analysis;
(3) Design Media; (4) Validate by expert; (5) Revision; (6) Final Product. The score of validation from the validator was 87.6% and it was categorized as relevant. It means the media is already appropriate to use as learning media for students.
Based on expert theory (Smaldino, Russel, Heinich, and Molenda) about the effectiveness of using video as a media in the teaching and learning process, In general, students will be more engaged in the learning process if the teacher can use an interesting medium to transfer material in the classroom. The audio-visual media used in this research can help students in understanding a narrative text. The teacher can also use the teaching listening narrative text.
5.2 The Suggestions
There were some suggestions given for the consideration of the future. For the teachers, the researcher suggests that they apply to video as teaching media in listening to
narrative text. The media of the video is one of the alternative ways to improve students’
ability and interest in listening. Teacher also should consider the students’ needs in choosing media for teaching-learning process. The teaching-learning process can be successful if the teacher mastered in knowledge about narrative text and also can choose suitable media based on students’ needs. It can enhance students’ interest and make teaching-learning process more active.
For the students, by implementing teaching media could help the students to improve their ability in listening and their interest. The students it-self also can use digital storytelling as a media for them to learn listening on narrative text. This research was conducted when students did not learn narrative text, for the next research and development, the testing should be conducted when the students were studying about listening on narrative text in order to get the evaluation more accurately. For the other researcher, in developing the media, especially by using the video make sure that the video can be interesting to improve their ability in listening skill.
