RESEARCH DESIGN RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Figure 3.1. The Steps in Conducting Survey Research Creswell, 2013: 403-404 The first step of survey research was deciding if a survey was the best design to use. After realizing that the researcher had to administer the research in a short time, the researcher decided to conduct survey research. First, survey research was economical as a means of data collection. After that, Creswell 2013 stated that by conducting survey research, a researcher could reach a geographically population.In this study, the researcher discovered and described the students‟ vocabulary learning strategies adopted in IPALL. The second step was identifying the research questions. Actually, two research questions were formulated in this research. However, the third research question was added to support the finding of this research. The first and the second research questions were planned to be the basic of the instruments to describe the characteristics or trends such as the frequency of students‟ vocabulary learning strategies adopted in IPALL. Then, the third research question was planned to be the basic of the quasi experimental research. The quasi experimental reserch, here, was for comparing group in terms of specific attributes Creswell, 2003. The comparison was the students‟ score before and after adopted in IPALL between the same and different class. Develop or Locate an Instrument Administer the Instrument Analyze the Data to Address the Research Questions or Hypotheses Write the Report The third step was identifying the population and the sample. The setting of this research was in SMK N 7 Yogyakarta. The whole population of this reseach was 224 students. However, the teacher had just applied the IPALL in two class consist of 64 students. Therefore, the samples were consist of 64 students from two class. Sixty four students were involved as the respondent for questionnaire. Four students from two classes were involved as the interviewees. For comparing stude nts‟ scores, the research used teacher‟s documents from 4 class. The fourth step was determining the survey design and data collection procedures. Based on the access to the participant and the nature of the problem studied, this research was conducted in two classes of class X. The data collection was based on distributed questionnaire, individual interview and students‟ scores from teachers‟ documents. The fifth step was developing the instruments. There were two instruments which were used to obtain the data. There were questionnaire and interview guidelines. The construct vailidty was used to develop both of the instruments because the reseacher combined the blueprint from four concepts of CALL and vocabulary learning strategies. The sixth step was administer the instruments. The questionnaire was directly distributed in two class. Then, the interview was conducted personally between the interviewee and the reseacher. Actually, this step was the most time- consuming phase of survey resarch. According to Creswell 2013 this phase involves seeking and obtaining permission to conduct the survey and using procedures for data gathering.It requires continually following up to obtain a high response rate, checking the response bias if questionnaire are used, and preparing the data for analysis by coding the information from the instruments into a computer file. The seventh step was analyzing data to address the research questions. The data analysis procedures reflected the types of research questions the researcher planned to address in the study. Analysis consist of noting response rates, converting, tabulating, conducting descriptive analysis of all items, and then answering descriptive questions. It involved testing research questions using inferential statistics. In this step, the researcher conducted quasi experimental analysis. Quasi experimental analysis is used since the researcher used control and experimental groups but does not randomly assign participants to groups. To conduct quasi experimental analysis, the researcher applied quasi experimental procedures from Creswell 2012. The first was identify the type of experimental design to be used in the proposed study. The second was identify what is being compared in the experiment. The third was g ather students‟ scores gathered from diagnostic vocabulary tests. The fourth was give treatment to experimental group. The sixth was conduct post test. The last procedure was analyze the data using inferential statistics. Posttest-Only Design Time Figure 3.2.
