classroom. For instance, when they want to introduce names of fruits, they do not have to
bring the real fruits, because the pictures of them are representative enough. A movie camera
or video camera takes pictures very quickly, usually at 25 pictures every second. When a
movie projector, computer, or a television shows the pictures at that rate, it looks like the
things shown in the set pictures are really moving. Sound is either recorded at the same time,
or added later.
Movies, in the sense of educational media, as stated by (Sudjana & Rivai, 2005) have
some strength, they are: (1) teaching and learning process will be more interesting for the
students so that they are motivated to learn materials given by the teacher; (2) movies make
the students easier to get the materials because media can be used by the teacher to make
material easier and clearer for the students; (3) various and interesting media make the
students enjoy and have fun in the learning process; (4) movies make the students do more
activities in teaching and learning process. Based on the understanding that it can be
concluded movies are a kind of media that contain realistic models that provide various
communicative activities for the students and help the teachers to deliver the lesson.
Learning achievement is the acquisition of knowledge or skills in terms of cognitive,
affective, and psychomotor through measurement and assessment. Something which
achieved or done successfully of an individual or group individuals in school subject or
activity with the effort and skills can be defined as the results of learning achievement
(Hornby, 1989).
According to (Davis, 1993) learning outcomes are a measuring tool that used by the
teacher as evidence of students’ learning achievement of the material that has been given.
Learning achievement is not just obtained by students, but there are several driving
indicators so that learning achievement can be obtained optimally.
Nowadays, vocational education has played an important role in the Indonesian
educational system for decades. The vocational education system is career-oriented, with the
goal of training manpower to meet the demands of national economic growth, industrial
changes, and technological advancement. From the point of view, the researcher suggests the
teacher to find the most effective learning media to learn. Using movies as a teaching
learning media are certainly the tool and the shortcut to help the vocational students to learn
English, not only for the present but also for lifelong learning. According to (Wiyono, 2008)
English at vocational school is expected that at the end of the study process, students are
able to use English; they able to read, to listen, to speak, and to write in English through
themes that are selected based on the students’ level of development and interest.
Based on the above statements, the researcher intends to investigate the effectiveness
of movies as a teaching learning media to improve students’ learning achievement at
eleventh grade of SMK RISE Kedawung, Cirebon.
RESEARCH METHOD
The researcher used experimental research with quantitative approach. (Sugiyono,
2019) stated that experimental research design was used to find out the influence of the
certain treatment in the controlled condition. In experimental research, it is recognized at
least 4 types of research and the researcher used pre-experimental design. One group pretest
– posttest design of pre-experimental design became ultimate choice in this research, this
kind of design tries to compare the condition of students before and after the treatments
through the pretest results. They are two measured variables in this research, they are
movies as a teaching learning media as the independent variable and students’ learning
achievement which can be seen from the test result as the dependent variable.
The population of this research is all eleventh grade students of SMK RISE Kedawung
Cirebon, academic year 2021/2022, and the research held on November 1st – November
27th 2020. The researcher takes 14% of the population as sample of this research. Technique
sampling used in this study is simple random sampling. (Arikunto, 2013) stated that if the
subject is less than 100 it is better to take the entire subject. Furthermore, if the subject is
more than 100 it can be taken between 10 – 15%. Therefore the researcher take 35 students
randomly take from 250 students in this research.
