Grammar is the rules of how words are arranged into sentences. Without the knowledge of grammar one cannot produce sentences grammatically. If one makes a sentence which  is not grammatically arranged, then that sentence cannot be said grammatical though perhaps it is still meaningful. Therefore, a sentence  should  be grammatically correct and meaningfully acceptable. This study deals with the ability of the freshmen of the English Study Program on using English grammar in academic year 2019/2020. They are first given the pretest, and after studying for one semester they are given the posttest in order to see if there is significant difference from the pretest to posttest. It is expected that the learning-teaching process for one semester will give significant impact on the learning achievement. Based on the result of analysis of the test both in the pretest and posttest, it is found out that there found no difference between the result of the pretest and that of posttest. It is indicated by the mean score of the pretest 9.04 and that of posttest only 9.00. Therefore, it can be concluded that their ability on using English grammar is far below the average as the percentage of correct answer only 30.10% both in the pretest and posttest.  Of the 17 topics covering the 30 test items both in the pretest and posttest, only 5 (five) items are correctly answered by more than 10 students within the percentage of 44% - 68%. On the whole,. Their ability on using English grammar is far below average.

This study aimed at investigating the effect of Student Facilitator and Explaining (SFAE) technique based on Tri Hita Karana towards students’ science achievement in fifth grade of Buleleng district primary schools cluster XV academic year 2017/2018. This study was an experimental study utilizing non-equivalent post-test only control group design. The population of this study was fifth graders of Buleleng district primary schools cluster XV and the sample of this study was fifth graders of SD Negeri 2 Kalibukbuk as the experimental group and fifth graders of SD Negeri 3 Anturan as the control group. The data collection was utilizing instrument in the form objective test. Then, the obtained data was analysis using both descriptive and inferential (t-test) statistical analysis. The result showed that there was a difference of mean score between both groups. The mean score for experimental group was 23,12 while the mean score for control group was 16,21. Furthermore, hypothesis testing showed that tobs>tcv (tobs=6,821 > tcv=1,99962). Based on the result of the study, it can be concluded that there was a significant difference on students’ science achievement between the students taught using Student Facilitator and Explaining (SFAE) technique based on Tri Hita Karana and the students taught without Student Facilitator and Explaining (SFAE) technique based on Tri Hita Karana at fifth graders of Buleleng district primary schools cluster XV academic year 2017/2018

Biology is a science that has fundamental dimensions. Biology studies about living things. One of the things learned in Biology is the concept of Animalia. Inquiry learning model based on the cooperative script. The research referred to quasi-experimental research by applying inquiry learning model based on Cooperative Script in X MIPA 5 class as an experimental class and STAD learning model in X MIPA 1 class as a control class conducted at SMAN 1 Arjasa, Jember in the even semester of 2018/2019 academic year. The inquiry learning model based on cooperative script aimed to improve students' learning achievement. The result of data were analyzed  by using covariance analysis (ANAKOVA) which showed that the inquiry learning model based on cooperative script had a significant effect of p = 0,000 with the results of 49.95 in the control class and 54.12 in the experimental class on students' cognitive of grade X at SMAN 1 Arjasa, Jember. The test results of the independent sample t-test implemented in the invertebrate concept had a significant difference to psychomotor students at p = 0,000 with the results of 80.40 in the experimental class and 67.67 in the control class which revealed that from the results obtained both included in the good category.

This article presents the research results which are: (1) there is a significant difference in grammar mastery between students taught using Inductive Method and students taught using Deductive Method; (2) Inductive Method is more effective than Deductive Method. The research method used in this research is an experimental design. This research was conducted at SMP Negeri in Surakarta in the academic year of 2017/2018. The research population is the eighth-grade students. The samples are class VIII A as the experimental group consisting 28 students and class VIII B as the control group consisting 28 students. The research instrument used to collect the data is a test. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The computation of the t-test shows that t observation (t<sub>o</sub>) = 2.284 is higher than t table <sub>(54. 0.05)</sub> = 2.0048. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference in grammar mastery between the students taught using Inductive Method and the students taught using Deductive Method. The mean score of the experimental group is 58.29, while the mean score of the control group is 46.86.  It can be concluded that Inductive Method is more effective than Deductive Method to teach English grammar.

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.
