This research used quantitative approach focusing on experimental research which was conducted at SMAN 2 Sungaiselan in academic year 2019/2020. The researcher used purposive sampling technique and two classes were taken as samples, with 69 students (35 students for the control group and 34 students for the  experimental). The result of the test was analyzed by using statistical analysis of Paired sample t-test and Independent sample t-test. The finding showed that the students who were taught by using Wholesome Scattering Game got higher score than those who were taught by using non-Wholesome Scattering Game. It means that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, while the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. It could be concluded that there was a significant difference between students who were taught by using Wholesome Scattering Game and the students who were taught without using Wholesome Scattering Game.

This research aimed to analyze the difference of learning outcomes by using Student Facilitator and Explaining model and direct learning model on Digital Simulation subject at class X TKJ SMKN 1 Tilatang Kamang. The problem in this study was the student learning result which were still under KKM on Digital Simulation subjects at SMKN 1 Tilatang Kamang. Type of this research was Quasi Experiment. The sample was taken through Probability Sampling technique. The research samples were class X TKJ A  and class X TKJ B. Class X TKJ A as sample for experiment class using Student Facilitator and Explaining  model and class X TKJ B as sample for control class using direct learning model. Data analyzed based on post-test experiment class and control class, then analyzed for normality test, homogeneity test and hypothesis test. From the experimental class, the research results obtained an average of 82.47, while the control class was averaged of 76.94. Result of hypothesis calculation at significant level α = 0,05 found tcount> ttable that is 1,78> 1,699, because tcount was bigger than ttable, so null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. It can be concluded at the real level that this study showed that Student Facilitator and Explainingmodel gave significant effect on students learning results of Digital Simulation at class X TKJ in SMKN 1 Tilatang Kamang. Therefore, the Student Facilitator and Explaining model is better than the direct learning model.Keywords: Student Facilitator and Explaining Model,Direct Learning Model, Learning outcomes, Experiment Class, Control Class.

This thesis is purposed at proving the effectiveness of cartoon videos in teaching speaking to the Eighth Grade Students of SMPN 2 Rantau Kalimantan Selatan in academic year of 2013/2014, and showing that there is a significant difference in speaking ability between the students who were taught by using cartoon videos and those who were taught by using conventional method. This study is an experimental research. The population of this study was the eighth grade students of SMPN 2 Rantau Kalimantan Selatan in academic year of 2013/2014 which consisted of seven classes. The total number of population was 158. There were two classes taken as the sample, Class VIII B serving as control class were taught by using conventional method, while class VIII F as the experimental class were taught by using cartoon videos. Class VIII B consisted of 22 students and class VIII F consisted of 22 students. Both classes were given the pre-test at the beginning and the post-test at the end after the treatment. The data were collected by using speaking test. The data were analyzed by using t-test computation, descriptive analysis, and inferential analysis. The research findings show that there is a significant difference in students’ speaking ability between the experimental group taught by using cartoon videos and those who were taught by using conventional method. The result of the pre-test shows that both groups are poor, while the post-test result shows that the experiment group is better than the control one. The mean score of the experimental class in pre-test was 42.50 and that of control class was 42.73. The mean score in post-test of the experimental class was 75.68 and that of the control class was 57.50. It can be seen that the mean score of the experimental class was higher than that of control class in post-test. Furthermore, based on the hypothesis testing, it could be seen that the value of -t obtained (-5.245) < - t table (-2.018), at the significant level 5%. This implied that there is a significant difference of students’ speaking ability between the students who were taught by using cartoon videos and those who were taught by using conventional method.
