3.4.4 Documentation

The researcher also used documentation in order to gain the supporting data used in this research. The documentation was about the names of the subjects in XI IPA class and their scores of English see Appendix C.

3.5 Research Procedures

This research had been done by following certain procedures. The procedures of this research were discussed as follows:

3.5.1 Planning of the Action

There were some preparation that had been done before doing the actions of this research, namely choosing the topic based on the senior high school curriculum, constructing the lesson plans for the cycle, preparing the materials and the worksheets for their reading exercises, preparing the observation guide, and constructing the reading test for the cycle.

3.5.2 Implementing of the Action in Cycle

The actions were done during the school hours of English lesson in XI IPA class. The cycle had been done in three meetings. The first and the second meeting were used to do the actions, while the third meeting was used to do the reading test. Thus, the actions of the second cycle were done by revising some necessary aspects of the actions in the first cycle.

3.5.3 Monitoring by observation and Evaluating

Observation in this research was conducted during the teaching reading by implementing Jigsaw IV technique in the classroom. The observation was done by the teacher in the first meeting and by the researcher in the second meeting. The result of the observation was used to decide whether or not the students were active in the teaching learning process. The observation was done twice in the cycle by considering the indicators in the checklist of the observation guide. Evaluation that was done in this research was process evaluation and product evaluation. The process evaluation had a purpose to observe the students’ participation during the teaching learning process of reading by implementing Jigsaw IV Technique. Meanwhile, the product evaluation had a purpose to find out the students’ improvement of reading comprehension achievement in comprehending the text. This classroom action research was considered successful if 75 of the students were actively involved in the teaching learning process and 75 of the students gained the score of ≥70 in reading comprehension test.
