This research was conducted to find out whether there was a significant effect of the Mnemonic method in teaching vocabulary mastery at the Seventh-grade students’ of SMPN 22 Buton Tengah. The design of the research was a pre-experimental design ( one group pre-test post-test design). The population of this research was the seventh-grade (VII) of SMPN 22 Buton Tengah which consists of three classes, while the sample in this research was class VII3 that consisted of 25 students and used a simple random sampling technique. The instrument in this study was multiple choices, matching tests and public buildings, food, people around us to the topic. This study was conducted three sections namely pre-test, treatment, and post-test. The researcher used a paired sample T-test through SPSS 16.0 version to analyze the result of this research. The result showed that the mean score of students’ vocabulary mastery in the post-test was higher than students’ vocabulary in the pre-test ( 53.6 > 45.28 ). The hypothesis testing found that the value of sig ( 2 Tailed ) was 0.00 while the significant alpha value was 0.05. It can be concluded that the value of Sig ( 2 Tailed) was lower than the significance of α value (0.000< 0.05). in other words, (H1) was accepted. It showed that there was a significant effect of using the Mnemonic Method on teaching vocabulary mastery at the seventh-grade students of SMPN 22 Buton Tengah.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to study and obtain information on the effect of direct and indirect T-Drill dribble agility training on improving the dribbling ability of basketball balls. This study used an experimental design in the form of Randomized Control Groub Pre-test-Post-test Design. The population in this study were 34 participants in the extracurricular basketball activities at SMP Negeri 1 Prigen. Sampling using systematic proportional random sampling technique with a percentage of 90% of 36 participants, so that the number of samples 34 participants. To determine the effect of direct and indirect form of T-Drill dribble training on improving the ability of basketball dribble skills obtained by Fcount 76.73344 more than Ftable α equal to 0.05 4.149097, meaning there is a difference related to the test of dribble skills between before the test T-Drill form's direct and indirect form of agility dribble skills. The results of the F-test analysis were continued by calculating the advanced test of the Leat Significance Difference (LSD) form, the results of the mean data for all groups were 5.61707 and the LSD coefficient was 0.05 1.652. Giving direct T-Drill dribble drills is better than giving indirect T-Drill drills.   Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji dan memperoleh informasi pengaruh latihan kelincahan dribble T-Drill langsung dan tidak langsung terhadap peningkatan kemampuan dribble bolabasket. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan eksperimental bentuk Randomized Control Groub Pre test-Post test Design. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah peserta kegiatan ektrakurikuler bolabasket SMP Negeri 1 Prigen yang berjumlah 34 orang coba. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik systematic porposive random sampling dengan presentase sebesar 90% dari 36 peserta, sehingga jumlah sampel 34 peserta. Untuk mengetahui pengaruh latihan dribble bentuk T-Drill langsung dan tidak langsung terhadap peningkatan kemampuan keterampilan dribble bolabasket diperoleh sebesar Fhitung 76,73344 lebih dari Ftabelα sama dengan 0,05 4,149097, berarti ada perbedaan yang berhubungan tes kemampuan keterampilan dribble antara sebelum tes kemampuan keterampilan dribble kelincahan bentuk T-Drill langsung dan tidak langsung. Hasil analisis uji F dilanjutkan dengan menghitung uji lanjut bentuk Leat Significance Difference (LSD), hasil mean data seluruh kelompok diperoleh 5,61707 dan koefisien LSD0,05 1,652. Pemberian latihan dribble T-Drill langsung lebih baik dibandingkan dengan pemberian latihan T-Drill tidak langsung.

This research aimed to examine the effect of VAK approach (Visualization, Auditory, Kinestetic) towards the result of learning physics of students at SMPN 10 Mataram. The kind of research used was experimental design with design of research was randomized posttest only control design. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling. Population in this research was all the students from the eight grade at SMPN 10 Mataram, while the sample was 25 students of class VIII A as the experimental group and 27 students of class VIII B as the control group. The data obtained was analyzed by using t-test of two-tailed. t-count was 4.78 and t-table was 2.00 with significance level 0.05. Hence, t-table is smaller than t-count or t-count is bigger than t-table. It means that Null Hypothesis was rejected and Alternate Hypothesis was accepted. It means that the application of VAK Approach (Visualization, Auditory, Kinestetic) affects the results of learning physics of students.Keywords: VAK Approach

This paper attempted to examine the efficacy of the Probing-Prompting Technique in teaching speaking skills to young beginner English learners. This study employed the experimental method with a pre-experimental design. The subjects of this study were English learners age 16 to 19 in Palopo City who were chosen using a purposive sampling technique to select the active learners. Using the oral presentation task, the writers compiled three aspects of the learner's score, i.e. accuracy, fluency, and comprehensibility. The experimental teaching was conducted in six meetings, preceded by a pre-test and ended by a post-test. The pre-test found that the learners’ speaking skill ability is low (mean score: 25.75). In post-test, the authors found that the learners’ language ability substantially improved. Some learners get significant improvement in every aspect of speaking skills, i.e. fluency, accuracy, and comprehensibility. The strategy also contributed to the increase in the mean score (51.50). As a result, the writers concluded that Probing-Prompting Strategy successfully improves the learners’ speaking skills. It is proven by the result of the paired-sample test which showed that t-count (7,584) is higher than t-table (2,365).
