Data Analysis Technique RESEARCH METHOD

teacher to find out the learning goals and needs. The data of interview are in the form of interview transcripts.

G. Data Analysis Technique

There were two types of data of this research, quantitative and qualitative data. These two types of data were analyzed by using different techniques. 1. Quantitative data The quantitative data was obtained from the questionnaires. The data from the first questionnaire which is the students’ needs analysis was analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The method was done by calculating the percentage of each point of choice from the questions given. The data from the second questionnaire or the expert judgement questionnaire was analyzed by using Likert Scale. It showed the indication of the strength of the expert’s agreement and disagreement dealing with statements given. There are four-points scale that is described on the table below. Table 6: Likert Scale 4 Point Range No Categories Score 1 Strongly Agree 4 2 Agree 3 3 Disagree 2 4 Strongly Disagree 1 The data from the expert judgement was calculated by using a formula proposed by Suharto 2005:59 to find the range or the data interval. After that, the data were converted into descriptive statistics. The researcher used mean X as the indicator of measurement. X is the mean obtained from expert judgment. To find X, the researcher used the formula proposed by Suharto 2005. The researcher used the data conversion table as presented below. Table 7: Data Conversion Table Suharto, 2005 Scale Interval Categories 1 1.00 X ≤ 1.74 Poor 2 1.75 X ≤ 2.49 Fair 3 2.50 X ≤ 3.24 Good 4 3.25 X ≤ 4.00 Very Good 2. Qualitative data Qualitative data was gathered from the interview. The data was analysed using qualitative data analysis model proposed by Miles and Huberman 1994 which has three stages of data analysis as presented below.
