ABSTRACT
The method used in this study was experimental research design. This research
consisted of two classes, VIII A is the experiment class and VIII B is the control
class. The instruments of this research are pre-test and post-test. The writer used
T-test to analyze the data.
The result of the study showed that the result of statistic calculation where the
value t0 = 3.43 is higher than ttable = 2.00, or 3.43 > 2.00, it means that alternative
hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. Therefore, it can
be concluded that jigsaw technique is effective to improve students‟ ability in
simple past tense at grade VIII of MTs Al-Ikhwan.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. The Background of Study
In Indonesia, English becomes the subject that students should master
and that is examined in national examination in Junior High School1. English
is specified as a compulsory subject, part of the basic curriculum.
In learning English, the students must capable or master not only the four
skills, those are speaking, listening, reading, and writing, but also language
components, such as grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary.
Structure is important part of language components. The structure of a
language sometimes refers to as grammar. Learning English grammatically
enable students‟ language to use linguistic form accurately, meaningfully, and
appropriately.
Grammar consists of many parts that should be learned by the students.
One of the important one is tense. Tense has fundamental role in the English
language, so the inappropriate uses of tenses may obscure the meaning. By
tense, the students know when the action occurs, and understand or know the
correspondence between the form of the verb and their concept of time.
The students of Junior High School are extended to learn some tenses
including simple past tense. The simple past indicates that an activity or
situation began and ended at a particular time in the past. The simple past
tense is related to narrative and recount text. The students must study simple
past tense because mastering simple past tense would help the foreign
language learners to better understanding in using English.
However, after the writer observed teaching and learning grammar at
MTs Al-Ikhwan on 25 February 2014, the writer found that in learning and
teaching process, the students have low score in grammar, teacher‟s method
in learning simple past tense makes the students less of motivation or interest,

some students think that grammar a boring subject, and the students got
difficulty in memorizing form of regular and irregular verbs.
Teaching method in explaining the materials could cause students
difficulties in using the correct structure of simple past tense. In other words,
the Indonesian students may find difficulties in memorizing irregular verbs.
This might be because the students are influenced by teaching method.
Based on the situation of learning simple past tense in that school, the
writer thinks that it is important to create suitable techniques related to
students‟ condition. The teachers have to make the correct way for students to
make them not only get the material, but also can appropriate method. The
students need to be delivered a technique that makes them intended to learn
actively in learning simple past tense. In this research, the writer will use
cooperative learning by using jigsaw technique as an alternative way in
teaching simple past tense.
Cooperative Learning is not a new idea in education. There are a few
teachers use this method. In cooperative learning, students make a small
group and work together to meet common goals. The students can interact
with each other to acquire and practice a subject. Cooperative learning
principles and techniques are tools which teachers use to encourage mutual
helpfulness in the groups and the active participation of all members.
There are many techniques in Cooperative Learning but the writer
chooses jigsaw technique in teaching simple past tense. In jigsaw technique,
students are assigned to five or six member study teams. Materials are
presented to the students in text form, and each student is responsible for
learning the material. Then, when the students finish learning material in
expert team, they have to return to their home teams and teach other members
what they have learned.
The writer assumes that jigsaw technique is one of the techniques which
can improve the students‟ achievement and will enable students to
comprehend the material more easily, because the students in jigsaw

B. Identification of Problems
Based on the background of the study about the effectiveness of jigsaw
technique in teaching simple past tense, the writer identify some condition
that promote the research problems these are:
1. The students have low score in grammar.
2. Teacher‟s method in learning simple past tense makes the students less of
motivation or interest.
3. Some students think of grammar as boring subject.
4. The students difficult in memorizing form of regular and irregular verbs.
C. Limitation of Problem
To avoid misunderstanding in interpreting the study, it is important to set
some limitation of the problems. The writer limits the study on the teaching
English that concerns on regular and irregular verbs of simple past tense by
using jigsaw technique at grade VIII.A and VIII.B of MTs Al-Ikhwan.
D. Formulation of Problem
The writer formulates the research question as follows: “Is the jigsaw
technique effective to improve students‟ ability in simple past tense?”
4
This theoretical framework consists of two parts. The first part is simple past
tense which covers the definition of simple past tense, the use of simple past
tense, and regular and irregular verbs. The second part is cooperative learning
which covers the definition of cooperative learning, the elements of cooperative
learning, the principles of cooperative learning, and the definition of jigsaw
technique.

a. Regular Verbs
Regular verbs are the simple past and past participle ends in –
ed7. Regular verbs have predictable past tense forms, –d or –ed is
added to the end of the base form8. From this definition the writer
argues that regular verb is easy to change because verb of the past
tense end in –ed. The following Table 2.1 is the list with past tense
and past participle forms of regular verbs:

b. Irregular Verbs
According to Betty, irregular verbs are the simple past and past
participles do not end in –ed9. A small number of verbs, among them
some of the most commonly used verbs in the language, have forms
that differ from the regular tense forms shown in the paradigms we
have given earlier10. In order to use the tense forms of these irregular
verbs, the speaker of English must know their “principal parts”.
The first principal part of the verb is the simple form of the verb.
The second principal part is the past tense. The third principal part is
the past participle. And the fourth principal part, if it is given, is the
present participle.
The writer identifies that irregular verb is more difficult than
regular verb because the change of verb of each principal part is
different. Verb of four principal parts must be remembered because
there is no rule in changing verb. The following Table 2.2 is the list
with past tense and past participle forms of irregular verbs:

Verbs

B. Cooperative Learning
1. Definition of Cooperative Learning
Cooperative learning is a technique where students study in a group
and each group consists of five or six members. The students will active
and participate in the group.

is very important because the students can help each other in learning the
materials and the students are not thinking competitively. There are two
principles of cooperative learning 14:
a. Positive interdependence – „We sink or swim together’
This requires each pupil in a small group to contribute to the learning
of the group. Pupils are required to work in a way so that each group
member needs the others to complete the task. It is a feeling of „one
for all and all for one‟. The writer gets the meaning of positive
interdependence that the students study in the groups and each
student must help the group to comprehend the material.
b. Individual accountability – „No Hitchhiking!’
This means that each member of the group is accountable for
completing his or her part of the work. It is important that no one can
„hitchhike‟ on the work of others. It requires each pupil in the group
to develop a sense of personal responsibility to learn and to help the
rest of the group to learn also. The writer gets the meaning of
individual accountability that each student in a group learns or
completes part of the task so every student has responsibility to help
or explain the material to their group.

C. Jigsaw Technique
1. Definition of Jigsaw Technique
In cooperative learning, there are many techniques used in teaching
and learning process. One of the cooperative learning techniques is
Jigsaw. Jigsaw is a cooperative learning technique in which students
teach part of the regular curriculum to a small group of their peers. The
classroom teacher divides a lesson into five or six parts and gives one
part of the lesson to each student in a jigsaw group of five or six
students15. The writer assumes that jigsaw is a technique that students
learn in a small group and each student has one part of the material.
Based on the explanation above, it can be seen that jigsaw technique
is study in small group.

the unit is completed, the students are tested and they each receive a
grade based upon their own test performance17. It means that jigsaw
group is fun because each student share information and help the group
to understand the material. And also the students get a score based on
their group performance so the students encourage to do the best in their
own test performance.
This contrasts with other cooperative learning techniques in which
student receive a grade based upon their group performance. By using
Jigsaw, student cooperation is promoted by structuring student
interdependence through the learning task rather than through the grading
system18. The writer identifies that in jigsaw technique the students have
responsibility to teach and explain their own task so member of the group
easily to comprehend the lesson.
Based on the explanation above, it can be seen that each student
become expert in his/her own task so they can help each other. And the
students get a score based on their group performance.

In this study, jigsaw technique is used to teach simple past tense. This is
the way how to apply the jigsaw technique in teaching simple past tense19:
1. Divide students into 5 or 6 person jigsaw groups. The groups should be
diverse in terms of gender, ethnicity, race, and ability.
2. Appoint one student from each group as the leader. Initially, this person
should be the most mature student in the group.
3. Divide the day's lesson into 5-6 segments.
4. Assign each student to learn one segment, making sure students have
direct access only to their own segment.
5. Give students time to read over their segment at least twice and become
familiar with it. There is no need for them to memorize it.
6. Form temporary "expert groups" by having one student from each jigsaw
group join other students assigned to the same segment. Give students in
these expert groups time to discuss the main points of their segment and
to rehearse the presentations they will make to their jigsaw group.
7. Bring the students back into their jigsaw groups.
8. Ask each student to present her or his segment to the group. Encourage
others in the group to ask questions for clarification.
9. Float from group to group, observing the process. If any group is having
trouble (e.g., a member is dominating or disruptive), make an appropriate
intervention. Eventually, it's best for the group leader to handle this task.
Leaders can be trained by whispering an instruction on how to intervene,
until the leader gets the hang of it.
10. At the end of the session, give a quiz on the material so that students
quickly come to realize that these sessions are not just fun and games but
really count.

E. Relevant Study
In this research, the writer summarizes the relevant study to prove the
originality of the research.
1. The first research was conducted by Galuh Kartika Prabandari. In this
study, she conducted about improving students‟ mastering simple past
tense through cooperative learning of Student Team Achievement
Division (STAD) type at the second grade of SMPN 3 Tangerang Selatan
academic year 2011/2012. The research question of this study are “Can
STAD improve students‟ effort to master Simple Past Tense?” and “How
extend do the students‟ master simple past tense through Cooperative
Learning of STAD type. The method of this study is Classroom Action
Research (CAR). The classroom action research design applied in this
study is a collaborative classroom action research. The result of this
study showed that there is improvement of students‟ mastery on simple
past tense by using cooperative learning of Student Team Achievement
Division (STAD) Type20.
2. The second research was conducted by Leni Mandasari. This research is
aimed to describe the effectiveness of Story Based Approach in learning
the simple past tense at the eight grade students of SMPN 3 South-
Tangerang. The research question of this study is “Is there any significant
difference in the achievement of the students‟ English grammar
especially in the simple past tense taught by using story based
approach?” Method of this study is an experimental study, the control
class was taught by using CTL and the experimental class was taught by
using SBA. The result of this study showed that here is significance
influence in teaching the simple past tense by using SBA21.

F. Thinking Framework
Since grammar needs to be integrated into language skills, teachers need
to have knowledge of various kinds of techniques in teaching and learning
English. The students of Junior High School are conveyed to learn some
tenses including simple past tense.
The simple past indicates that an event, activity or situation happen at a
particular time in the past. The simple past tense is related to narrative and
recount text. The students must study simple past tense because mastering
simple past tense would help the foreign language learners to be better
understood in using English.
In learning simple past tense using jigsaw technique, the students are
assumed very active and easy to learn simple past because they study together
in a group. Jigsaw technique as one kind of techniques provides students to
study in group and interact with each other to acquire and practice simple past
tense.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
Grammar is difficult subject among students at MTs Al-Ikhwan
especially study regular and irregular verbs of simple past tense. It is
important to create suitable techniques related to students‟ condition. The
students need to be delivered a technique that makes them intended to learn
actively in learning simple past tense.
The study investigates the effectiveness of Jigsaw technique in teaching
simple past tense. An experimental research was used as research design of
the study.
Based on the data analysis in chapter IV and the discussion in the
previous chapter, the conclusion of the study showed that Ha is accepted and
H0 is rejected. It means that jigsaw technique is effective to improve students‟
ability in simple past tense.
After conducting the research, it can be concluded that shown in the
chapter IV t0 is 3.43 and ttable of degree of significance 5% is 2.00. It can be
seen that the result of statistic calculation above where the value t0 is higher
than ttable, or 3.43 > 2.00. It means, alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and
null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that jigsaw
technique is effective to improve students‟ ability in simple past tense at
grade VIII of MTs Al-Ikhwan.
B. Suggestion
1. The teacher should be able to select technique which suitable with
situation and condition of class.
2. Using Jigsaw technique can be alternative method in teaching English
language to improve students‟ ability in simple past tense.
3. The teacher could increase the student‟s motivation in learning English
by using Jigsaw technique.
