The data analyzed in using t-test.  According to the result of statistical calculation. The result showed that sig (2 tailed) of student pre-test and post-test in experimental was 0.401 and standard significant level it was 0.05 by comparing the sig (2 tailed) and standard significant level, it was known that sig (s2 tailed0 was bigger than standard significant. The calculation of testing hypothesis used T-test formula with Null Hypothesis (Ho) and Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) it can be sum up that tcount (1.729) ≥ ttable (1.71714).

This study deals with the effect of POW+TREE Strategy on students’ ability inwriting hortatory exposition text.. The problem of the study is to find out whetherPOW+TREE Strategy significantly affects students’ ability in writing hortatoryexposition text or not. This study was conducted by using experimental design.The population of the study was the students of eleventh grade of SMA Methodist8 Medan in the academic year 2015/2016, there were 3 parallel classes of gradeXI. There were two classes selected to be sample. The Experimental group (XIIPA-2) was taught by applying POW+TREE Strategy, while the Control group(XI IPA-3) was taught by applying conventional strategy. The data of the studywas obtained from the students’ scores of writing test. There were two kinds oftest used in this study. They were pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzedby applying t-test formula. After analyzing the data, the result of the study showedthat t-observed (2.338) was higher than t-table (1.994) (t-observed > t-table) at thelevel of significance of p=0.05 and the degree of freedom (df) = 68. It can beconcluded that applying POW+TREE strategy significantly affects students’ability in writing hortatory exposition text, or in other words, the null hypothesisis rejected , therefore the alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Permasalahan yang dikaji dalam penelitian adalah apakah bimbingan klasikal dengan metode jigsaw terhadap kontrol diri siswa dalam pengunaan handphone di sekolah?. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif desain quasi experimental bentuk nonequivalent control group design dengan model pre-test post-test control group design.. Populasi penelitian adalah siswa kelas IX SMP Negeri 7 Pemalang. Sampling yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah cluster random sampling. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan yakni analisis presentase dengan Uji t (t-test). Hasil analisis skala kontrol diri dalam penggunaan handphone pada kelompok eksperimen dengan menggunakan uji-t hasil post-test menunjukan rata-rata kelompok eksperimen sebesar 83,67 dan kelompok kontrol 77,2. Sehingga terjadi peningkatan rata-rata pada kelompok eksperimen sebesar 10,5. Pada penghitungan uji-t diperoleh hasil thitung (3,11) > ttabel (2,000), maka hipotesis kerja (Ha) diterima dan hipotesis nihil (Ho) ditolak. Disimpulkan bahwa bimbingan klasikal dengan metode jigsaw berpengaruh terhadap kontrol diri siswa dalam penggunaan handphone kelas IX SMP Negeri 7 Pemalang.

The samples of this study were VIII C as a control group and VIII B as an experimental group. This study was conducted by using quasi experimental method with nonequivalent control group design. Then, the data were analyzed by using paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. The result of independent sample t-test shows that the value of sig. (2-tailed) was 0.00 < 0.05 in the level of significant 0.05. While, the value of t-obtained was 5.213 higher than the critical value of t-table was 1.665 with degree of freedom 76. It can be concluded that the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. It means that there was any significant difference between the students who were taught in writing descriptive paragraph through Clustering Technique and those who were not.
