Abstract

The title of this research is the difference in learning outcomes in finding the main idea in a discourse using the make a match learning method and the talking stick learning method in class VII students of MTs Darussalam Japara in the academic year of 2014/2015. Problem formulation: 1) how are the learning outcomes in finding the main idea in a discourse using the make a match learning method in class VII students of MTs Darussalam Japara in the academic year of 2014/2015?; 2) how are the learning outcomes in finding the main idea in a discourse using the talking stick learning method in class VII students of MTs Darussalam Japara in the academic year of 2014/2015?; 3) is there a difference in learning outcomes in finding the main idea in a discourse using the make a match learning method and the talking stick learning method in class VII students of MTs Darussalam Japara in the academic year of 2014/2015? Method: descriptive comparative. Conclusion: 1) the learning outcomes in finding the main idea in a discourse using the make a match learning method in class VII students of MTs Darussalam Japara are less than the average value achieved, namely 50.70; 2) the learning outcomes of finding the main idea in the discourse using the talking stick learning method in class VII students of MTs Darussalam Japara are sufficient, from the average value achieved which is 59.36; 3) there is a significant difference in the learning outcomes of finding the main idea in the discourse using the make a match learning method and the talking stick learning method in class VII students of MTs Darussalam Japara.
