D. Research Instruments
Research instruments are really needed in conducting a study. The writer used three kinds of instruments. They were interview, questionnaire and MI
inventory adapted from Amstrong’s MI inventory 1994.
1. Interview
The writer also conducted an interview with the coordinator of English Mastery Program for Titian Foundation. The interview was conducted to gather
39 information about the coordinator’s opinion about the chance of material
development for Level 1 of English Mastery Program see Appendix D.
2. Questionnaire
Conducting a descriptive research, it means that the research has an opportunity to deal with the questionnaire. Labovits 197, p. 72 states, “A
questionnaire is an instrument comprised by a series of questions that are filled by the respondents.” The questionnaires are employed to obtain the opinions from the
participants on the materials designed. There are two types of questionnaire according to Brown and Rogers 2002, p. 120 namely: “open-response items”
and “selected-response item”. Through open-response items, the participants should give response using their own words in form of writing. While, through
selected-response items, the participants should give responses by selecting some answers provided or alternative answers see Appendix B.
3. Multiple Intelligences Inventory
In getting the data before designing the material, the writer applied MI inventory which is adopted from Amstrong 1994. This inventory was aimed to
find out the dominant intelligences that the students have. This inventor is consists of fifty-six statements that should be done by the students see Appendix C. Each
of the statement represents characteristics which are the clues that are used for deciding the students’ dominant intelligences.
