CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
A. Type of Research
This research study is action research in collaboration with school headmaster, school management, classroom teacher and tenth grade students.
According to Burns 2010:5, Action Research AR is a self-reflective, systematic and critical approach to enquiry by participants who are at the same
time members of the research community. The aim is to identify problematic situations or issues considered by the participants to be worthy of investigation in
order to bring about critically informed changes in practice. Action research is underpinned by democratic principles in that ownership of change is invested in
those who conduct the research. It means that before implementing the action research, the researcher needs to find any problems real found in the classroom
and bring some changes after conducting the research.
Carr and Kemmis 1988 in Burns 2010:5 argue that action research is a self-reflective study conducted by participants in social situations in order to
improve the rationality and justice of their own practices, their understanding of these practices, and the situations in which these practices are carried out.
Meanwhile, according to Elliot 1991 in Burns 2010:5 states that action research is a study of a social situation with the view to improving the quality of
the action in it.
There are some different models of action research. This research used the Kemmis and McTaggart model. The collaborator and I were carried out the action
research and worked together in collecting input about the problems and weaknesses of the English teaching and learning pro
cess related to the students‟ vocabulary skills. Next, we identified the research problems. After getting all the
problems, we planned and carried out the actions. During the implementation of the actions, we observed the teaching and learning process. Then, we evaluated
and reflected on the actions implemented in the study. Finally, according to the result of reflection, we planned some other actions to improve the English
teaching and learning process. The number of cycles applied was based on the student
s‟ improvement. There would be more cycles if the students did not show any improvement in their vocabulary skills.
B. Subject of The Research
The subjects of the research were the students of X IIS 3 class of SMA N 4 Purworejo. The number of students consists of twenty eight students. It is chosen
based on discussion with the teacher that the class have the lowest achievement of English test especially in vocabulary among the other tenth grade classes. That is
why they need appropriate strategy to help them in improving vocabulary
mastery. C.
