of case study is observational case study since the major data gathering technique is participant observation supplemented with formal and informal interview and
review of document and the focus of the study is a particular student. Case study is appropriate because it concerns with rich and vivid description of event that
relevant to the case, it provides a chronological narrative of event, and it focuses on individual actors.
3.2 Research Setting
3.2. 1 Place
The research was conducted in Tumbuh 2 elementary school Yogyakarta. The first reason of choosing this school was due to the accessibility. When the
school held an English training for the teachers and staffs I became the trainer and built good relationship with them including with the headmaster. The idea of
the topic for this research also came when I saw the phenomenon about disabled learners study with non-disabled learners in the same classroom. That was the
first time I got the idea about inclusive program. The interesting thing about inclusive classroom is that in inclusive classroom program students with
disabilities can learn in the same school environment. Students with disabilities get the same opportunity to learn as well as non-disabled learners. The disability
is not ignored so the school provides teacher with special skill to accompany the students with special need and also facilities to support the learning process.
Since then I was interested in learning more about the program and I was curious how the program runs.
The observation took place in the classroom, the interview with the headmaster, the teacher, and the mother took place in the head master’s office, the
interview with the coordinator in inclusive program was done in his office, while the interaction with the
participant took place in the school’s library. 3.2.2

3.3 Source and Nature of Data
This research uses purposeful sampling to gather the data. In purposeful sampling, researchers intentionally select individuals and sit to learn and
understand the central phenomenon. The standard used in choosing participants and sites is whether they are “information rich” Patton, 1990, p.169. The
purposeful sampling in this research referred to the participants that consisted of one participant and four other participants who were expected to give more
information about the participant. The participant was one female student with ADHD. When the research
was conducted she was nine years old and she was in grade four. This student was first recognized having problem in speaking in her first language when she was
two years old. When she was 4,5 years old her teacher in kindergarten found behavioral problem. She was brought to an authorized institution to get
psychological test and the result showed that she had Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ADHD and since then she got a therapy.
The data collecting from the participant was done through interaction. The participant was asked to do finish some activities. It aimed to find the information
of how she acquired new vocabulary. During the interaction I also asked some question as supporting data. It was actually an informal interview but the situation
was casual to make the participant comfortable. The other participants were the headmaster, the homeroom teacher, the
English teacher, the coordinator for inclusive program, and the parent. Considering the problem with the participant, it was very important to interview
them. They we re considered as “information rich” so they can contribute to this
research. The interview with the headmaster aimed to get the information about
inclusive program in relation with the support to disabled learners in general and especially for ADHD students and to see how the school provides friendly
environment for disabled learners. The next interviewee was the homeroom teacher. The information from
the homeroom teacher was important to see the student’s daily performance and
behavior during the class. The result was related to the participant’s performance
in English subject. Fortunately the homeroom teacher was also the teacher for English Subject. So the interview also aimed to see how the student learns English
in general and in more specifically how she acquires new English vocabulary.
3.4 Data Collecting Instrument
Data collection instrument is any instrument used by the researcher to gather information in a form of data. Since there were three types of data
collecting techniques, there were also three different types of instrument. For the observation technique, the instrument was field notes. It was used to record what
happened during the observation. For the second technique, interview, the instrument guideline. The guideline was about the topics to dig out information
about the participant. The coordinator of inclusive program was an important participant. He had all the information and the background of all inclusive
students. The questions to the coordinator were about the background of the participant and what happened to her during and after therapy and also what to do
to help the participant to maximize the learning process. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
