Abstract

The objective this study was to know the effect of using demonstration method on students’ writing of procedure text at the eighth grade of SMP Negeri 2 Doloksanggul. The method used in this study was quantitative method using experimental design. Two classes were taken as the sample of the study with 30 students in each class. Both classes were assigned into experimental and control class. Experimental class was taught by implementing demonstration method while control class was taught without using demponstration method. The data was collected through pre-test and post-test. Based on the calculation, the mean of gain score of experimental class was 15.6 and the control class was 10.6. The mean score of post-test in experimental class was 79.8 while the control class was 70.83. Furthermore, the data from both experimental and control classes were analyzed by using t-test formula. The result of statistical analysis data showed that the value of t_observe (t_o) was 19.08 and the degree of freedom (df) 58 in the table t-score at significance level of 5% is 1.671. By comparing the value of t_o=19.08 and t_table=1.671, it is clear that t_o is higher than t_table. In other words, it proved that the null Hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the alternative Hypothesis(Ha) is accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that demonstration method is effective in teaching procedure text at eighth grade of SMP Negeri 2 Doloksanggul.
