LEARNING POETRY WITH QUANTUM LEARNING METHOD

Abstract

The aims of this research were to find whether Quantum Learning Method is effective in
increasing students’ understanding in learning poetry and how Quantum Learning Method affects the
students’ understanding in learning poetry during the teaching and learning process. This research
applied Classroom Action Research model, thus it used both quantitative and qualitative data. The
quantitative data were taken from the results of final test and the qualitative data were taken from
field notes and observation sheet. Meanwhile, this study was conducted in one cycle only since
the results from cycle one was successful. Therefore this study did not continue to the next cycle.
The result from the final test showed that 100% of the students passed the test with the average
points of 15,05 (75,25). Thus, the use of instrumental music as one of the techniques of Quantum
Learning Method helped the students to feel comfortable and relaxed during the activities in the
classroom. The selective instrumental music provided a supportive atmosphere for the students to
feel relaxed and comfortable while doing the learning activities; both reading and analyzing.Based
on the findings, it can be concluded that the use of Quantum Learning Method in learning poetry was
effective. Thus, because of its effectiveness in helping students to learn poetry, it is suggested to be
used in the classroom.
