ABSTRACT

Riasha, Rina. 2014. The Correlation between the Score of English National

Examination and the English Achievement of the Tenth Grade Students of

SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus in the Academic Year 2012/2013. Skripsi. English

Education Department, Teacher Training and Education Faculty. Muria

Kudus University. Advisor: (1) Dra. Sri Endang Kusmaryati, M.Pd. (2)

Agung Dwi Nurcahyo, SS, M.Pd.

Key words: Score of English National Examination, National Examination,

English Achievement, Tenth Grade Students.

The Score of National Examination is evaluation the students’ achievement that

conducted by government using same test in the same time. National Examination

is conducted to evaluate the English achievement for three years either in Junior

High School or Senior High School. English achievement is result of an English

evaluation in knowledge, skill, and attitude as the result of English learning

showed by score. The tenth grade students are students who study at SMK NU

Ma’arif Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013.

This research aims to know the correlation between the score of English

National Examination and the English Achievement of the Tenth Grade Students

of SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus in the Academic Year 2012/2013.

This is a correlation research. The populations of the research are all of the

tenth grade students of SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013.

The sample that is taken by the researcher is 5% from each class. The instrument

that used is the documentation of the students’ score of English National

Examination in Junior High School and the students’ achievement of English in

rapport (even semester) in Vocational School.

The result of the research shows that: a) The National Examination of the

tenth grade students of SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013

is sufficient (The mean is 71.48 by standard deviation 35.62). b) The English

achievement of the tenth grade students of SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus in the

academic year 2012/2013 is very good (The mean is 85.24 by standard deviation

4.58). c) From the result of the correlation, it was found that r-calculated = -0.106

and r-table = 0.413 in the level significance 5% from degree freedom (df) N-2

(23-2 = 21). In other word, r-table is higher than r-calculated (rt > rxy). Therefore,

it can be said that the hypothesis of the research is rejected, while the null

hypothesis is confirmed.

Based on the result of the research above, the researcher suggests that the

English teacher can motivate the students to increase their English achievement

although they got either bad or good score of English National Examination. And

for the students, they are supposed to study hard in all condition either in daily

learning process or in National Examination.

ABSTRAKSI

Riasha, Rina. 2014. Hubungan antara Skor Ujian Nasional Bahasa Inggris dan

Prestasi Bahasa Inggris dari Siswa Kelas Sepuluh SMK Ma’arif NU

Kudus pada Tahun Akademik 2012/2013. Skripsi. Program Studi

Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris. Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan.

Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (1) Dra. Sri Endang Kusmaryati,

M.Pd. (2) Agung Dwi Nurcahyo, SS, M.Pd.

Kata kunci: skor ujian nasional bahasa inggris, ujian nasional, prestasi bahasa

Inggris , siswa kelas sepuluh.

Skor Ujian Nasional adalah evaluasi hasil belajar yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah

dengan menggunakan tes yang sama dalam waktu yang bersamaan. Ujian nasional

dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi prestasi Bahasa Inggris selama tiga tahun, baik di

SMP atau SMA. Prestasi Bahasa Inggris adalah hasil dari evaluasi Bahasa Inggris

dalam pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan sikap sebagai hasil belajar bahasa Inggris

yang ditunjukkan oleh skor. Para siswa kelas X adalah siswa yang belajar di SMK

Ma'arif NU Kudus pada tahun akademik 2012/2013.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Hubungan antara Skor Ujian Nasional

Bahasa Inggris dan Prestasi Bahasa Inggris dari Siswa Kelas Sepuluh SMK

Ma’arif NU Kudus pada Tahun Akademik 2012/2013.

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian korelasi. Populasi penelitian ini adalah semua

siswa kelas X SMK NU Ma'arif Kudus pada tahun akademik 2012/2013. Sampel

yang diambil oleh peneliti adalah 5% dari masing-masing kelas. Instrumen yang

digunakan adalah dokumentasi dari skor siswa dalam Ujian Nasional Bahasa

Inggris di SMP dan prestasi bahasa inggris siswa pada rapport (semester genap) di

SMK.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: a) Ujian Nasional siswa kelas X SMK NU

Ma'arif Kudus pada tahun akademik 2012/2013 sudah cukup (rata-rata adalah

71,48 dengan standar deviasi 35,62) . b) Pencapaian Inggris siswa kelas X SMK

NU Ma'arif Kudus pada tahun akademik 2012/2013 sangat baik (rata-rata adalah

85,24 dengan standar deviasi 4,58). c) Dari hasil korelasi, ditemukan bahwa r-

perhitungan = -0,106 dan r-tabel = 0,413 pada tingkat signifikansi 5% dari

kebebasan derajat (df) N - 2 (23-2 = 21). Dengan kata lain, r-tabel lebih tinggi dari

r-perhitungan (rt > rxy). Oleh karena itu, dapat dikatakan bahwa hipotesis

penelitiannya ditolak, sedangkan hipotesis nol dikonfirmasi .

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian di atas, peneliti menunjukkan bahwa guru bahasa

Inggris dapat memotivasi siswa untuk meningkatkan prestasi bahasa Inggris

mereka meskipun mereka punya skor baik itu skor yang buruk ataupun skor yang

baik dalam Ujian Nasional Bahasa Inggris. Dan bagi para siswa, mereka

seharusnya belajar keras dalam semua kondisi baik dalam proses pembelajaran

sehari-hari ataupun saat Ujian Nasional.
