Techniques of Analysis the Data

F. Techniques of Analysis the Data

The data that should be analyzed in this research ware qualitative data and quantitative data. After the data has been collected, the researcher will analyze it. The data is sourced from observation paper and evaluation paper. The researcher analyzes it for getting the valid result of the research. So, to analyze the data, it can be done in two steps, as follows:

1. Analyzing the Qualitative Data

The qualitative data is gotten from the observation paper and filed notes. The data is analyzed by the researcher through attack some phases, as follows:

a. Reduction of the data The researcher evaluated and classified the data based on the information from the observation and must be organized according to the statement of this research. In this step, the researcher categorized and reduced the unused data taken from the observation paper and field note.

b. Explanation of the data All of the data that have been organized must be classified to get the meaning in the table, graphic or narration forms.

c. Conclusion The researcher makes the explanation of the data and takes some conclusions about the data in the statement of formula form.

After obtaining the real data from the observation paper and field note, the researcher need to analyze and evaluate the data through a formula as Tuckman in Nurgiyantoro (2001: 287) writes:

PD (%)=

x 100

In which: PD

: refers to percentage degree

F : refers to frequency of the researcher’s and the students’ activities have been already done TA

: refers to the whole activities of the researcher and the students 100

: refers to the constant and maximal number of percentage The researcher calculates the percentage for each of the data to guarantee whether the teaching-learning process is successful as designed by the researcher in the lesson plan. Furthermore, Nurgiyantoro (2001:399) asserts that the researcher’s activities are classified in the following scale (%).

0%-39 : the degree of teaching level is fail 40%-59%

: the degree of teaching level is less 60%-74%

: the degree of teaching level is enough 75%-84%

: the degree of teaching level is good 85%-100% : the degree of teaching level is very good

While the students’ activities are classified to the following scale (%) 0% - 39%

: the degree of the students’ activities level is fail.

40% - 59% : the degree of the students’ activities level is less. 60% - 74% : the degree of the students’ activities level is enough. 75% - 84% : the degree of the students’ activities level is good. 85% - 100% : the degree of the students’ activities level is very good.

2. Analyzing the Quantitative Data

The quantitative data is necessary to analyze for knowing whether the students’ ability in writing descriptive paragraph through writing skill has been

increased or not. The quantitative data is obtained from the evaluation paper. The data is analyzed based on the formula As Nurgiyantoro (2001: 399) states that percentage degree of ability as follows.

After getting the value, the researcher classified the value according to the degree of ability such as presented below:

0 - 39 is classified as fail

40 - 59 is classified as less

60 - 74 is classified as enough

75 - 84 is classified as good

85 - 100 is classified as very good

As the last step for the research is, the researcher was consulted the students’mark to the Minimum Competence Criterion (MCC) demands in the school. And the researcher stoped condacting the research or continued to the next cycle because the students’ mark in Cycle II achieved the Minimum Competence Criterion

(MCC) namely, 70.
