B. Research Participants
The participants for this research were the pupils of Mata Air Rumah Bermain dan Belajar, Condongcatur level Sparrow I the age will be on a range of
four op to five years old. The characteristic of the pupils were very playful, enthusiastic, and active. They prefer running around the class than sitting down
and listen to the teacher. They also considered having lack of vocabulary mastery in their level.
C. Research Instruments
In conducting the research, the researcher used several instruments to collect the data. The instruments were field notes, observation checklists, and worksheet.
The researcher conducted observations to collect the data. In conducting observation, field notes were employed to write the events which happened in
classroom. Then the observation checklists, they were used for observing the events that we wanted to see in class. The last were worksheets to measure
whether or not the action is successfully done. How to use the instruments will be explained in the data gathering technique section.
1. Field Notes
The basis of Classroom action Research is observation. From the observation, classroom interactions and classroom events can be documented.
Field notes is a useful instrument for observation because in classroom
sometimes there are unpredictable events which occur during the teaching-
learning process.
Field notes are the record of events and interactions in the classroom which is based on the factual events. Field notes are very objective. Non-verbal
information, group structures, and records of pupils’ interaction are aspects which can be written down in field notes.
2. Worksheets
In this research worksheets would be applied in order to know the pupils’ development and the pupils’ vocabulary mastery after the action was
implemented.
3. Observation Checklist
Observation checklists are more structural instruments compared to field notes and consist of the writer’s prediction about what events and interactions
will occur in the classroom.
D. Data Gathering Technique
In this part, the writer will explain about how to use the instruments to gather the data. The data were collected from the beginning of the research until
the end of the research. The data would be the basis of the analysis of the research. There were two techniques of gathering the data. They were:
observations which employed field notes and observation checklist to collect data and also worksheets.
1. Field notes
The descriptive field note is a field note that provides information about the setting, the participants, the actions, and the interactions based on the observation.
The field notes were written down during the observation. The events, actions, or interactions that occur out of the writer’s prediction would be written down in the
field notes. Field noted were used during the teaching learning processes. When the teacher implemented the actions, the researcher wrote the events, actions, and
interactions that occurred in the classroom which is unpredicted by the researcher.
2. Observation checklists
In this research, the writer observed the pupils, the teachers, the class condition, the teaching methods, and the teaching media and then the observation
checklists were filled in. The observation checklists reflected the researcher’s prediction about what would happen in the classroom. The observations were
done in direct way. It means that the writer would be with the pupils when the actions were implemented.
3. Worksheet
The worksheet were taken place after the implementation of the actions. The worksheets were used before the teacher closed the class. Worksheets were in a
form of matching, cutting and sticking and writing. The worksheets were intended not only to review the lesson but also to measure the pupils’ vocabulary mastery
after the implementation of actions.
