Abstract

The study determined the effect of student-centered learning approach in teaching basic grammar of the tenth-grade students in Islamic Senior High School Pangkalan Bun, Central Borneo, Indonesia. Specifically, this study sought answers to following questions: 1). How does the result of the pre-test compare with post-test of the control and experimental groups? 2). Is there significant difference in the result of the test between the control and experimental groups? 3). what student-centered teaching guide in basic grammar can be developed based from the findings of the study? The test was conducted before and after the treatment. The student-centered learning approach in teaching basic grammar was the treatment given to the experimental group while traditional method was given to the control group.
The findings of this study were: 1). the mean scores in the pre-test of the control and experimental groups were 52.1 and 51 respectively, interpreted as satisfactory in both groups. The mean scores of the control groups in the post-test was 64.85, interpreted as satisfactory, while 70.5 in the experimental groups interpreted as very satisfactory. 2). the computed T value based from the result in the pre-test of the control and experimental groups was 0.14. It was lesser than the tabular value of 2.03, at df of 34, at 5% level of significance. This result indicates that there is no significant difference in the mean scores of the pre-test of the control and experimental groups. These findings proved that from the start, the mean scores were good in both groups. The result in the post-test of the control and experimental groups showed that the computed the T value of 3.03 was higher than the tabular value of 2.03, at of of 34, at 5% level of significance. This condition rejects the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in the mean scores in the post-test of the control and experimental groups. 3). The student-centered teaching guide enhanced the students’ writing skill in basic grammar of the tenth grade students in the experimental group.

Based on the findings, the following conclusions were drawn: 1). the mean score of experimental group was higher than control group. 2). the post-test result of the control and experimental groups varies significantly. 3). the use of student-centered learning approach in teaching basic grammar had significantly improved the performance of students’ writing skill particularly the experimental group. According to the findings and conclusions, this study provided the following recommendations: 1). the researcher should make sure that the entry level of the control and experimental groups are homogenous to give appropriate baseline data before the start of the treatment for experimental group. Student-centered learning approach in teaching be utilized in teaching basic grammar to improve the writing skills of the students.2). The use of student-centered learning approach as teaching guide in basic grammar can be enhanced by submitting to curricular and content validation. 3). The use of educational learning approach also known as the student-centered learning approach in teaching basic grammar be adapted by teachers of other disciplines to ensure learning to take place with ease and enjoyment.
