THE EFFECT OF STORY PYRAMID STRATEGY ON STUDENTS’ ABILITY IN WRITING NARRATIVE TEXT AT GRADE X

Abstract

This research was carried out to find out the effect of Story Pyramid Strategy on students’ ability in writing narrative text at grade X of SMA Swasta Teladan. This theory was used by Macon, Bewell and Vogt. The research methodology used in this research was a quantitative method. The population of this research was grade X of SMA Swasta Teladan in the academic year 2023/2024. The researcher took two classes as the sample. The samples were X-5 as experimental group consisted of 39 students and X-6 as control group consisted of 39 students. The experimental group was taught by Story pyramid strategy meanwhile control group was taught by Conventional strategy. The data were obtained by using pre-test and post-test given to both groups. The experimental class mean score on the pre-test was 67,05 and the mean score of control class was 67,12. On the other hand, the mean of variabe in experimental class on post-test was 78, while the mean score of control class on post-test was 75,20. To acquire data, the researcher used test as instrument. The result of t-test was 3,259 which was higher than t-table at 5% of level significance (1,665). The result of significance value indicates that alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, while the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. It meant that there was significant effect by using Story Pyramid Strategy at grade X of SMA Swasta Teladan in writing narrative text.
