3. Observing Observing is the process of collecting data indicating the success of the strategy in solving the classroom problems. The focus of the observation is on the data related to the criteria of success that have been decided. The question that becomes the concern in the observing process is “How well does the strategy solve the problems?” not other questions, like “How well does the teacher teach ?” or “How well is the strategy implemented by the researcher?” These last two questions are not the questions for Classroom Action Research but appropriate for observers observing students who are learning how to teach, like in the practice teaching program. 4. Reflecting Reflection is the process of analyzing data to determine how far the data collected have shown the success of the strategy in solving the problem. Reflection also shows what factors support the success of the strategy or what other problems may occur during the implementation process. The connection of four components above can describe as below: Figure 2.1 Kurt Lewin’s Action Research Design Picture 1.
