level of achievement, now four students are at that level. Only one student remains at
the medium level of achievement. This positive change shows that “Teknik Kecam” is a
suitable technique for this group of students. The technique was able to develop students’
analytic and reasoning skills as well as encourage them to be more independent. Students
were able to focus better when they become the center of learning and become active
participants in the lesson.

6.0 CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION FOR FUTURE ACTION

“Teknik Kecam” has been proven successful in helping students explain the melting point
of elements in period 2 and 3. The students’ feedback to the use of the technique has been
positive. The results from the use of the technique is evidence to its’ effectiveness as 90%
of the students were at a high level of achievement. The students were able to develop the
skill of identifying mistakes and reasoning through discussions to rectify them. This can
also increase student’s memory and students are more cautious when writing answers.
The students were also able to develop confidence and independence in learning. The
researcher believes that students will be able to continue this practice in their discussion
groups even without the attendance of teachers. This technique can also be applied to
other subjects as it empowers students to take charge of their learning through group work
and debate. Further study to improve on this technique is highly recommended as this
study was done in a small group of five students. Further study on the effectiveness of the
technique on larger groups and different subjects could give additional insight for future use.
