Study Site RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

48 categories were used by the researcher to reduce the data which were obtained in the approaches of the data collection; they were observation, document of the implementation of Sidang Akademi and Focus Group Discussion. After the process of elaborating the narration of observation result and the documents of Academic Preliminary Meeting as well as making the transcription of interview, the researcher read the data for several times in order to get the general information from it. As stated by Bogdan and Biklen 2003, the researcher has to read the transcripts over and over again several times in order to get ideas for a coding scheme. In this study, the researcher chose three code categories in order to organize the data collected from the process of data gathering. The chosen code categories played significant role in the process of coding scheme. The code categories were chosen as these categories appeared the most in all the collected data. Thus, organizing the data using these categories was significant. The coding strategy helped the researcher to answer the generated research questions in this study. Three of which were: 1 definitions of situation codes. This code presented how the subjects define the setting or particular topics. In the process of data gathering, the researcher obtained the data of subjects‟ opinion about the implementation and the experience they had in implementing Sidang Akademi Academic Preliminary Meeting. The second category was 2 subjects‟ way of thinking about people and objects. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 49 This was likely about subject‟s understanding of each other, of outsiders and of the objects that makes up their world. The data, which were included in this category, were about subject s‟ point of view on the implementation of Sidang Akademi Academic Preliminary Meeting, the influence of the other aspect related to their performance and the effect of it for the students, especially in their speaking confidence development. Moreover, the data also revealed student s‟ comment about the implementation and the other thing need to develop in order to make this activity implemented better. The result of the observation process done by the researcher and peer-observer about the situation, atmosphere and the general situation in the implementation of the activity was involved in the category as well. The last code category was 3 strategy codes. This code category was about the tactics, methods, ways, techniques, manoeuvres, ploys, and other conscious ways people accomplish various things. Such data included in this category were the strategy they did in the implementation in order to perform well from the process of preparation until the day of presentation. The figure below presents the relation of each research question and coding category.

2. Themes Development

After reducing the data by classifying them into groups of code family, the researcher generated the theme based on the categories from the reduced data. The table below presents the themes of the study and the coding scheme from the gathered data. Patton 2002 elaborates the themes development in qualitative study come from the characteristic of the phenomena being observed. Thus the researcher generated the themes based on the pattern of the data collected from the process of data gathering process. RQ 1: How is Sidang Akademi Academic Preliminary Meeting implemented in Pangudi Luhur Van Lith Senior High School? RQ 2: How do the third-grade students in Pangudi Luhur Van Lith Senior High School develop their confidence in speaking English through the implementation of Sidang Akademi?
