CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY
In this chapter, the researcher discusses the method that the researcher use, the research participants, the research instruments, the techniques to gather the
data, the techniques to analyze the data and the research procedure.
A. Research Method
In this research, the researcher used the Qualitative Method. “Qualitative research focuses on understanding social phenomena from the perspective of the
human participants in the study” Neuman, 2000: 124. This kind of research gave the researcher much information about the social process in specific setting. The
goal of this method was getting the depth understanding rather than a numeric analysis. There are many different types of Qualitative research, but in this study
the researcher used the type which is called case study.
“ A case study is an in-depth study of a single unit, such as one individual,
one group, one organization, and one program”Ary Jacobs, 2002:27. The goal is to get the detailed description and understanding. According to Hancock
and Algozzine 2006:15, a case study research focuses on a representative of a group in a particular event, situation, program or activity. They emphasize that a
case study research is descriptive, because it has deep and varied sources of information.“A key aspect of doing case study research is summarizing and
30
interpreting information as a basis for understanding the topic being investigated” Hancock and Algozzine, 2006: 57.
B. Research Participants
The researcher conducted the research in a Bilingual School of SMA N 1 Wonosari
which is located in Jl. Brigjen Katamso No. 04 Wonosari, Gunungkidul. The research participants in this study were a Biology teacher and the eleventh
grade students from a Biology class of XI IPA 1. The case study was conducted in a Biology Class of the eleventh grade of
International class. The researcher conducted the research in SMA N 1 Wonosari for about three months. In addition, the teacher conducted observations in the
class for about two months, from July to August. The observations were conducted in one Biology Class. The reason was by observing the same Biology
Class and the Biology teacher, the researcher would really know the social phenomena in that class, including the English sentences used by the teacher in
teaching learning process, the interaction between teacher and students, and the progress of teaching learning activities day by day.
