ABSTRAK

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mencari hubungan antara tingkat kepercayaan diri dengan kemampuan berbicara mahasiswa, prodi bahasa Inggris semester IV IAIN Palangkaraya tahun ajaran 2013/2014. Penulis tertarik terhadap penelitian ini, karena berdasarkan observasi yang dilakukan bahwa rasa malu, gugup, takut salah pada grammar dan pronunciation adalah bagian dari krisis kerpercayaan diri mahasiswa yang membuat mereka sulit melakukan komunikasi dan interaksi dalam berbicara bahasa Inggris. Namun di lain sisi, penulis melihat mahasiswa yang percaya diri sangat mudah untuk melakukan komunikasi dan aktif di kelas speaking. Oleh sebab itu, mahasiswa harus mampu meningkatkan rasa percaya dirinya. Berdasarkan pernyataan diatas penulis ingin mengetahui kebenarannya, sehingga melakukan penelitian tentang judul diatas.

Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah 76 mahasiswa bahasa inggris semester IV angkatan 2013/2014. Dalam pengambilan data penulis menggunakan sample penuh (total sample). Hanya 17 mahasiswa (kelas A) sebagai kelompok try out dan 40 mahasiswa sebagai sample nyata sebab beberapa mahasiswa menghindar mengikuti tes speaking dan tes kepercayaan diri. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif. Dalam penelitian ini terdapat 2 variable yaitu variable X (tingkat rasa percaya diri) dan variable Y (kemampuan speaking mahasiswa). Pengumpulan data menggunakan teknik tes. Untuk menganalisa data menggunakan rumus product moment.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan positive antara kedua variable dengan klasifikasi sedang. Nilai correlation coefficient adalah 0.463. Dan pada skala 0.400-0.700 artinya bahwa korelasi antara kepercayaan diri mahasiswa dan kemampuan speaking mereka adalah positif dan sedang. Jadi jika kepercayaan diri mahasiswa di tingkatkan maka akan meningkatkan kemampuan speaking mereka dan jika kepercayaan diri mahasiswa diturunkan akan menurunkan kemampuan speaking mereka. Sehingga Ha yang menyatakan adanya hubungan antara tingkat rasa percaya diri dan kemampuan berbicara mahasiswa diterima dan Ho yang menyatakan tidak ada hubungan antara tingkat rasa percaya diri dan kemampuan berbicara mahasiswa ditolak. Dicocokan dengan nilai rtable 0.304<0.463>0.393. Kemudian berdasarkan perhitungan kontribusi variable X terhadap variable Y nilai KP = 21.44 % artinya bahwa variable X hanya mampu memberikan kontribusi variable Y sebesar 21.44 % sedangkan sisanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor lainnya yang belum diteliti.
