Procedure of the Research

Moreover, the score differences between pre and post tests of the control and experimental groups were compared by using mean scores, standard deviation and independent samples T-test. The results were used to find out whether there are any significant differences between the results of the experimental and control groups. The outcome of group evaluation form and lesson evaluation form were categorized and analyzed by using percentage. Scores from each item were designed based on a 4-option Likert scale. Respondents were asked to indicate their extent of agreement Strongly disagree, Disagree, Agree, Strongly agree by giving each item a score of 4 to 1 respectively. Respondents were also asked to answer a few questions on the effectiveness and usefulness of cooperative learning. In addition, the percentages of group observation factors were also used to describe the different characteristics of cooperative learning in group activities. Finally, the answers from the interviews with teachers and students were analyzed and described on the effectiveness of cooperative learning. CHAPTER 4 FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

4.1 Introduction

In this chapter, the data collected from the research were analyzed and discussed. The data gathered were used to answer the research questions posed in chapter one. 4.2 Relationship between Cooperative learning approach in an English literature class and respondents’ achievement in acquiring English language The first research question sought to find out whether there was any relationship between cooperative learning approach in an English literature class and respondents’achievement in acquiring English language. In order to show the relationship, the following have to be worked out:- The performance of the experimental group after being exposed to cooperative learning The performance of the experimental group after being exposed to cooperative learning strategies had to be analyzed using their pre test and post test results. The pre and post test results of the experimental group are shown in Table 4.1.
