Vocabulary can be defined as list of words which has meaning. Vocabulary is very important because if someone does not have vocabulary, they cannot convey their thought. However, teaching and learning vocabulary is uneasy. The�difficulties�such�as�student’s�lack�motivation,� student’s�limited�knowledge�in�understanding�the�meaning�and�pronunciation of the�words,�student’s�capability�to�memorize�new�words�and�recall�them,�and�the� context that bring little experience for the students to apply vocabularies they already have from school. To learn vocabulary means learner need to not only memorize bunch of new words but also their meaning, form, and how to use them. Mastering vocabulary by students seems to be harder during covid-19 pandemic. Most of schools are closed, forced sudden changes in the way learning activities run. Teachers and students make an adaptation to online learning, where most of class activities turned virtually. According to Hidayat & Noerida (2020), the disadvantage of online learning is that it is unable� to� build� students’� learning� motivation because of the limitation in two-way communication. However, online learning cannot be avoided. One of ways teacher can do to decrease the boredom among the students is by using interactive learning media. Based on some previous studies, one of effective media is word search puzzle. The formulation of the research problem is “is�there�significant difference score in vocabulary, meaning, use, and form of the students; taught by using word search puzzle and those who been taught� by� using� conventional� method?”� Moreover, the purpose of this study is to know whether word search puzzle is effective�or�not�towards�students’�vocabulary�meaning,�use,�and�form�at�the�eighth� grade students of SMPN 1 Karangrejo. This research used quasi experimental method. The population of this study is all students of the 8th grade at SMPN 1 Karangrejo in academic year 2020/2021. The researcher chose this school because it has good reputation in Karangrejo for its quality. Besides that, there is no research by using word search puzzle which has been conducted here before. From the population, the researcher selected two classes as the samples. They are VIII-C with 33 students as experimental class and VIII-D with 33 students as control class. To collect the data, the researcher used multiple choice tests as the instrument of post-test. All of the treatment and test were administered through online platform.From the statistical computation by using SPSS 24.0, there are some results. In vocabulary form, Sig = 0.005 and�α=�0.05. It shows that H0 is rejected because�Sig�$α.�In�vocabulary�meaning,�Sig�=�0.108 and�α=�0.05. It revealed that H0 is accepted since Sig(�α.�In line with the result, in vocabulary use, the Sig = 0.15. It means that H0 is also accepted since Sig(� α.�So, in conclusion, there is significant different score in vocabulary form between students who been taught by using word search puzzle and those who been taught by conventional method. Meanwhile,� although� students’� average scores of vocabulary meaning and vocabulary use in experimental class is higher than in control class, but the difference is not significant. Thus, it can be said that there is no significant different score in vocabulary meaning and use between students who been taught by using word search puzzle and those who been taught by conventional method.ABSTRAK Hata, Dona M., A.

Pembimbing: Dr. Dwi Astuti Wahyu N., M.Pd, Kata kunci: Penguasaan Kosa Kata, Word Search Puzzle, Efektifitas One of language aspect is vocabulary. Vocabulary can be defined as list of words which has meaning. Vocabulary is very important because if someone does not have vocabulary, they cannot convey their thought. However, teaching and learning�vocabulary�isn’t�easy.�The�difficulties�such�as�student’s�lack�motivation,� student’s�limited�knowledge�in�understanding�the�meaning�and�pronunciation�of� the�words,�student’s�capability�to�memorize�new�words�and�recall�them,�and�the� context of environment that bring little experience for the students to apply vocabularies they already have from school. Salah satu aspek bahasa adalah kosa kata. Kosa kata bisa diartikan sebagai daftar kata yang memiliki arti. Kosa kata itu sangat penting karena jika seseorang tidak punya kosa kata, mereka tidak mampu menyampaikan pemikiranya. Akan tetapi, mengajar dan belajar kosa kata tidaklah mudah. Kesulitan tersebut antara lain karena rendahnya motivasi siswa, terbatasnya pengetahuan siswa dalam memahami arti dan pengucapan kosa kata, ketidakmampuan siswa dalam menghafal kosa kata baru dan mengingatnya kembali, dan kondisi lingkungan yang memberi sedikit kesempatan kepada siswa untuk mengaplikasikan kosa kata yang telah mereka dapat dari sekolah. Mempelajari kosa kata berarti pembelajar tidak hanya butuh untuk mengingat sekelompok kata-kata baru tetapi juga arti, bentuk, dan cara menggunakan kata tersebut. Penguasaan kosa kata oleh pelajar semakin sulit selama pandemik covid-19. Kebanyakan sekolah diliburkan, Memaksa perubahan yang tiba-tiba terhadap aktifitas pembelajaran yang berlansung. Guru dan murid melakukan adaptasi terhadappembelajaran daring, dimana kebanyakan aktivitas di kelas dilakukan secara virtual. Menurut Hidayat & Noerida (2020), kekurangan dari pembelajaran daring adalah ketidakmampuanya untuk membangun motivasi murid dikarenakan komunikasi satu arah. Akan tetapi, pembelajaran darin tidak bisa dihindari. Salah satu cara yang guru bisa lakukan untuk mengurangi kejenuhan diantara para murid adalah dengan menggunakan media pembelajaran yang interaktif. Salah satu media yang efektif menurut beberap penelitian terdahulu adalah word search puzzle. Rumusan�masalah�dari�penelitian�ini�adalah:�“adakah�perbedaan�nilai�yang� signifikan di vocabulary, meaning, use, and form siswa; yang diajar dengan word search puzzle dan� mereka� yang� diajar� menggunakan� metode� konvensional?”� Sesuai dengan hal tersebut, tujuan dari studi ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakahword search puzzle efektif atau tidak terhadap vocabulary meaning, use, and form siswa kelas delapan SMPN 1 Karangrejo. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode quasi-experimental. Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah semua murid kelas 8 di SMPN 1 Karanrejo pada tahun ajaran 2020/2021. Peneliti memilih sekolah ini karena memiliki reputasi yang baik pada kualitasnya. Selain itu, belum ada penelitian yang menggunakan variable sama dengan yangdipakaipeneliti di sekolah ini sebelumnya. Dari populasi tersebut, peneliti menyeleksi dua kelas sebagai sampel. Mereka adalah VIII-C dengan 33 siswa sebagai kelas eksperimen dan VIII-D dengan 33 siswa sebagai kelas kontrol. Untuk mengumpulkan data, penelitian menggunakan tes berbentuk pilihan ganda sebagai instrumen dari post-test. Semua perlakuan dan tes diberikan melalui online platform. Dari hasil penghitungan statistik dengan menggunakan SPSS 24.0, ada beberapa kesimpulan yang didapatkan. Pada vocabulary form, Sig= 0.005 dan α=� 0.05. Hasil tersebut menunjukan bahwa H0 ditolak karena Sig� �α. Pada vocabulary meaning Sig = 0.108 and�α=�0.05. Hal ini menunjukan H0 diterima karena Sig� �α. Selain itu, di vocabulary use, Sig = 0.15. Hal ini berarti H0 juga diterima karena Sig� α. Jadi, kesimpulanya ada perbedaan nilai yang signifikan pada vocabulary form, diantara murid yang diajar dengan word search puzzle dan mereka yan diajar dengan metode konvensional. Akan tetapi, walaupun nilai ratarata vocabulary meaning dan vocabulary use siswa di kelas eksperimental lebih tinggi daripada di kelas kontrol, namun perbedaanya tidak signifikan. Oleh sebab itu bisa dikatakan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan nilai yang signifikan pada vocabulary meaning dan use, diantara murid yang diajar dengan word search puzzle dan mereka yan diajar dengan metode konvensional.
