CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A. Research Design
This research is Classroom Action Research. Wina Sanjaya 2010:26 states about the meaning of classroom action research as follows:
PTK dapat diartikan sebagai proses pengkajian masalah pembelajaran di dalam kelas melalui refleksi diri dalam upaya untuk memecahkan masalah
tersebut dengan cara melakukan berbagai tindakan yang terencana dalam situasi nyata serta menganalisis setiap pengaruh dari perlakuan tersebut.
According to Jean McNiff 1992: 1, action research is the name given to an increasingly popular movement in educational research. It encourages a
teacher to be reflective of his own practice in order to enhance the quality of education for himself and his pupils.
Carr and Kemiss 1986 in Jean McNiff 1992: 2 state that action research is a form of self-reflective enquiry undertaken by participants
teachers, students or principals in social situations in order to improve the rationality and justice of a their own social or educational practices, b their
understanding of these practices, and c the situations in which these practices are carried out. Action research enables teachers to learn in their class include
their learning methods and their assessment to their to be better understand, so it is can improve their quality and their effectiveness.

31 Stages in classroom research is planning, action, observation
and reflection 1 Planning
Before the implementation, it is necessary to make a planning as a preparatory. It needs to be planned well, make the learning
scenario that contains the steps of learning activity in addition to other forms of activity that will be carried out, the learning media
that support the implementation of action learning, prepare research instrument, for example to observe the processess, activity abd
results learning, and test the appropriateness implementation of actions on the field.
2 Action If all actions are prepared, then the action scenarios
implemented in actual learning situations. Corrective action implementation activity are the principal actions in the action
research cycle. Actions carried out based on to the plan that had been developed.
3 Observation In general, observation is attempt to record the processess that
occur during the learning. The observation done in the same time with the implementation of the action, so it is necessary to
develop an easy and quick systems and procedures. The results of further observations were analyzed to obtain the conclusion.
32 4 Reflection
Reflection is intended as an attempt to assess what have and have not happened, what is produced, why it happened, and what
needs to be done next cycle. Results reflection used to define the next steps in the effort to produce improvement.
