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

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. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
