interpreted based on the category. The following are the calculation of the Likert-scale.
3.4.3.1 Calculating the Likert Scale
To follow Ockert 2005, two answers see appendix C gained from the questionnaire were calculated using Likert scale; the steps were scoring,
finding out the score of the answer, calculating the central tendency of the answers, and classifying the average percentage. Those steps are considered
to be processed in order to make the statistical number Ockert, 2005. The steps are pointed out as follows.
a Scoring
Each answers were labeled with value from 1-4. Example of scoring students’ answers in the positively-framed statements is depicted below.

b Finding out the score of the answer
To find out the score of each answer table 3.3, the frequencies of the students answer are multiplied with the value of each answer.
score for option A strongly disagree : 0 x 1 = 0 score for option B disagree
: 6 x 2 = 12 score for option C neutral
: 10 x 3 = 30 score for option D agree
: 14 x 4 = 56 score for option E strongly agree
: 10 x 5 = 50 + Total
148 notes:
- the ideal score for the lowest value = 1 x 40 students = 40
- the ideal score for the highest value = 5 x 40 students = 200
c Calculating the central tendency of the respondents
Calculating the central tendency of the respondents employs the formula as shown as:
P=
�
× 100

P : Percentage
fo : The total value of answer
n : The ideal score of the highest value
Taken from Sudjana, 1984
The calculation of the central tendency of the respondents as follow:
P =
148 200
× 100 = 74
d Classifying the average percentage
The final step in analyzing quantitative data gained from the questionnaire is classifying the average percentage. The classification is
based on the criteria above.
Table 3.5 Score of percentage and its interpretation Score of Percentage
Interpretation
00 - 20 Very Weak
21 - 40 Weak
41 - 60 Enough
61 - 80 Strong
81 - 100 Very strong
Taken from Akdon 2008 According to Ockert 2004, the interpretations of score percentage
were made to make the descriptions of the data more systematical. Moreover, the interpretation which based on score percentage was
formulated in order to classify the tendency of the response.
