1. Analysis Techniques in Research and Information Collecting
To analyze data in Research and Information Collecting, the writer applied interviews as the instrument to gather data. The data from interviews were
analyzed from recorded speeches that presented in the form of transcription. Henceforth, the description of transcriptions was aimed as the basis of the design
set of web-based multiple-choice reading test for Grade XII students of senior high school.
2. Analysis Techniques in Preliminary Product Verification
In this step, the writer gathered data from questionnaire. The data from questionnaire especially from close-form questions were analyzed using
descriptive statistics. The data presented central tendency which included mean, median, and mode. Besides, the result of data was used to conclude and to
describe the test. Furthermore, the analyzed data from open-form questions were also presented in the form of transcription. Those data were employed to revise
the preliminary form of the designed test. The writer only operated mean to elicit data whether the test was aceptable
or not. The interpretation of the degree of agreement from Best 1970: 179 was used to achieve that purpose. Best classified the range of the point of from 1-5
interpreting points of agreement. He also provided the interpretation of degree of arrangement presented in the following table.

Table 3.4: The Interpretation of the Degree of Agreement
Range Meaning
1.00 – 1.99 Replace the rejected part of the design
2.00 – 2.99 Add more part or modify part of the design based on the lack
of the statement 3.00 – 3.99
Conduct more exploration on the existing part of the design based on the statement
4.00 – 5.00 No revision
According to Best 1970: 179, the interpretation of the degree of agreement was formulated as follows:
X =
∑
X N
Notes: X
: the average point ∑ X : the sum of all the scores
N : the total of participants
The data was presented in the form of the table which shows the mean, median, and mode of their opinions. The table of descriptive statistics and transcripts of
respondents’ opinion was presented in the following page.
