1. Observation Checklist
The first instrument used in this study was observation. Observation was important in this study because it could be said as one of the means to know about
the teacher’s behaviour and also the situation of teaching-learning process that were done in the classroom Nunan, 1994. The observation was done in order to
find out teacher’s method in teaching English, student’s reaction and behaviour during the teaching-learning process, and to obtain some information connected
with the implementation of Multiple Intelligences theory. There were four observation checklists which were made from four units
of the materials. The observation checklists consisted of several items concerning some indicators which must be achieved by the students stated in the lesson plans
of the materials. The observation checklists were done by an observer partner since the writer had to teach the materials directly in front of the class.
2. Field Notes
The second instrument used by the writer was field notes. The writer used field notes to obtain brief notes during the observation and then to expand it in a
descriptive form. What the writer observed in this study was about the implementation of Multiple Intelligences theory through a set of integrated
materials to teach English to the fifth grade students and some factors which influence it. There were some lists which were intended to observe the whole
process of the study. In addition, the field notes were done by an observer partner since the writer had to teach the materials directly in front of the class.
3. Interviews
The writer conducted informal interviews to gather data or information by asking individuals some questions about their view or opinion of the
implementation. The interviews were conducted four times based on the amount of lesson units that were taught during the study. The interview sections were
conducted after the teaching-learning process of each unit was done in order to get direct feedback of the implementation. The interviews were recorded and those
were conducted by choosing the participants randomly which involved five students of the class. The students were chosen based on the English proficiency
level, which are low level, medium level, and high level. In conducting this study, the writer conducted guided-interview, which
means the writer had prepared a list of questions for the interview. There are three major points of delivering questions to the participants. The interview questions
were attached in the appendix see Appendix E.
