ABSTRACT
Yulia Nur Chasanah. K2212077. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SCIENTIFIC APPROACH (SA) IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING (ELT) AT SMA NEGERI 3 SURAKARTA IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2015/2016. Thesis. Teacher Training and Education Faculty. Universitas Negeri Sebelas Maret. November 2016. This research aims at (1) describing the implementation of Scientific Approach in English Language Teaching at SMA Negeri 3 Surakarta in the Academic Year of 2015/2016, and (2) identifying the effectiveness of the implementation of Scientific Approach towards the learning quality in English Language Teaching. The study uses qualitative method in the form of case study in which the data are collected through observation, interview, and documentation. The data are the teaching-learning activities of X.IPS.1 Class, X.IPS.2 Class, and X.IPS. 3 Class. The finding shows that the implementation of SA still needs supports from other factors to yield high-quality learning in English. This research also discusses how students are engaged in the teaching-learning process and the learning outcomes as the result of SA implementation. In practice, the SA implementation covers Observing, Exploring, Associating, and Communicating, while the Questioning phase may occur in the other steps, but, still, not all steps can be well engaged by the students. In the Observing, some students still need more time to observe; in the Questioning, they only ask about simple questions; in the Communicating, there are still some students who are doing less interaction. The SA implementation at SMA Negeri 3 Surakarta meets various handicaps: (1) The teacher is not well-equipped with the teaching guidance of SA, (2) the teacher does not play a role as a facilitator demanded by the students, (3) the teacher can not make use of media and creative activities as some parts of the successful teaching-learning process, and (4) the teacher can not manage the class situation well.
Keywords: Scientific Approach, English Language Teaching, learning quality.
