Type of the Research

realities and constrains of the teaching situation, 2 What potential improvements the researcher think are possible. The course grid and lesson plan based on the curriculum of the school were prepared to the implementation of action. Besides, the materials and other instruments were selected based on the technique of the action. After that, the steps were organized in implementing the Fun Learning in the teaching and learning process in the fourth grade. 2. Action After planning the actions, the actions were implemented in the teaching- learning process. The actions were conducted until the improvement has been achieved. The research involved the actions in two cycles with three meetings for each cycle. 3. Observation During the action, observation was conducted to analyze the improvement of teaching–learning quality through technique used in the action. The observation was done to know what is happening in the actions; to look into the success of the action and the problems came during the implementation. The data from observation were reported in the field notes form. The students, the English teacher, and the collaborator were interviewed to know their views and feelings during and after the action. 4. Reflection Based on the observation and interview toward the action, the effects of the actions were reflected by the teacher, the research and the collaborator. After understanding the weaknesses, the solutions were found so the research could be done better in the next cycle.

E. Data Collection Techniques

The qualitative data dominated the research to obtain the result of the research. The data were the description of the reality happening during the research. The data presented the descriptions, interpretations and claririfications of the improvements of the teaching-learning quality through fun learning. In gaining the data, the research used some data collection techniques as presented in the table below: Table 1.

Observation The observation was conducted to monitor the process of teaching and learning quality while actions were implemented. The data were collected by observing what happened in the teaching and learning process when technique was implemented. The condition of the teaching and learning process, the students’ behaviour and the problems were observed by using observation sheets. The observation was conducted by the researcher, the English teacher, and the
