CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
A. Research Design
This study is classified as classroom action research. Suharsimi 2012, 2-
3 stated that action research is the combination of “research, action, and clas
s”. Research is a detailed study of a subject, using a certain methodology in order to discover new information or reach a new understanding. Action is a
process of doing something and the process is classified into some cycles. And class is a group of students who are taught together at school. So, classroom
action research is the research which is done in the class and studies the process of teaching and learning.
In this research, the researcher and the teacher collaboratively carry out the research. The teacher who carry out the action and the researcher as the
observer along the action. Suharsimi Arikunto 2012: 17 explains that the ideal classroom action research is one that is carried out in pairs between the ones who
perforn the action and the ones who observe the ongoing process of the implementation of the actions. The ideal research result in valid findings which
do not contain any subjectivity. This reseacrh will be conducted in two cycles. Each cycles consists of
four stages, that are planning, action, observation, and reflection. Below the chart of the Kemmis and Taggart model that developed by

in class XII AK 2 SMK Negeri 1 Klaten academic year 20142015.
C. Research Place and Time

D. Operational Definition
1. Accounting Learning Activity Accounting learning activity in this study is an attempt to master the
materials done by students’ both physically and psychologically. It can seen from the students’ attitude, their ability to acquire knowledge, their thinking
Observation Data Collection I
Reflection I
Observation Data Collection II
Plan II Action II
Reflection II New problems
from reflection
and motor skills. The students’ Accounting learning activities in the first cycle will be compared to the second cycle. The indicators of students’ Accounting
learning activities can be seen from the students’ activities of reading the material, noting the subject matter, doing exercise that given by teacher,
expressing opinions, conducting group discussions, answering questions given by teacher and their classmates during the discussion, doing quizzes, and
responding to opinions of other students. 2. Cooperative Learning Model Type Two Stay Two Stray
Cooperative learning model type Two Stay Two Stray is a type of learning that will affect students’ interaction and activities. This learning
model begins by the teacher divides the students into several groups and then teacher calling team leader to gives the material. Then, team leader will be
present the material in their groups while discussion. After finishing discussion each group will conclude their discussion results and the teacher
will gives feedback.
