Kalasan Elementary School and two lecturers of the English Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University. The writer distributed the
questionnaires after the writer had finished the designed materials.
E. Data Analysis Techniques
After the questionnaires were collected, the data were recorded. There were two important points to be discussed in the data analysis techniques. The analyses
were conducted to know participants’ needs and evaluation on the design.
1. Participants’ Needs
The participants’ needs were reached by analyzing the questionnaires that were distributed in research and information collecting stage. The data gathered
in the closed form were calculated by percentage. The result was obtained by dividing the number of the students who chose certain topic with the total
number of the students, then multiplied by 100.
100 n
N
Note : N
: the number of students who choose certain topic n
: the total number of students The result of the survey functioned as one of the considerations in
designing the materials. To enrich the data, the writer also interpreted the result of the interview with the teacher of English extracurricular activity of Kanisius
Kalasan Elementary School. 26
2. Evaluation on the Design
The data for the evaluation were divided into two categories. The first category was about the respondents’ opinions that were shown statistically. The
second one was the respondents’ comments and suggestions that were explained in sentences.
a. Descriptive Statistics of Respondents’ Opinion on the Designed Materials
To calculate the data from questionnaires, the writer used three major measures of central tendency proposed by Brown and Rodger, namely: ”mean,
median and mode” Brown and Rodger, 2004:128. The mean, median and mode were usually used to describe the average performance among a group of scores.
The writer counted the mean of the respondents’ answers. The mean or average point
X was obtained by counting the sum of the respondents’ answer ∑x
divided by the number of the respondents N. The formula was:
Note:
point average
the X
x = the sum of respondents’ answer N
= the number of respondents To calculate the data, the assessment of the respondents’ opinion toward the
designed materials used “Likert Scale”, in which the respondents were asked to register their responses on 5 points of agreement, namely:
