Conceptual Framework THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

F. The CAR Procedures

The Classroom Action Research using Kurt Lewin’s design consists of four phases within one cycle. Those are planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. 2 After finishing the first cycle, it will be probably a new problem or the previous unfinished problems. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to the second cycle in line with the same concept of the first cycle. Based on the outcome and experiences in the first cycle, the writer will follow the same phases. Here are the detail explanations about what happens in every phase:

1. Cycle

a. Planning

In this phase, the writer prepares all the needs and requirements for the teaching and learning process in the classroom. The writer makes the lesson plan and prepares all of the things that will be used in reading using pre questionings. In this phase, the writer prepares the reading text and the pre questionings that relate to the text. b. Acting The writer as the teacher carries out the planned action in this phase based on the lesson plan that has been made. In implementation the action, the writer act as English teacher who taught reading by giving pre questioning before student read the text. The implementation of the action involved three meeting in each cycle. 2 SuharsimiArikunto, et,al., Penelitian Tindakan Kelas, Jakarta : BumiAksara, 2006,p. 16

c. Observing

In observing phase, the writer as the teacher observes the students’ response and achievement during the teaching and learning process. The teacher observes students’ response about the lesson. Teacher observes whether there are any significant improvements of students’ score when they are given pre questioning before they read the text. Sometimes, the writer also asks some students’ opinion about the process of teaching and learning reading by using pre questioning. When observing, the teacher should notice all of activities in the classroom. It is done in order to get accurate result in the end of the research.

d. Reflecting

In this phase, the teacher reflects the whole action during the acting and observing phase. And it is necessary to have an evaluation before starting the next cycle. If there are still some problems, so it needs to continue to the next cycle. By continuing to the next cycle, it is expected that the unfinished problems yet can be solved and the goals can be reached. 2. Cycle 2 a. Planning Same as cycle 1, cycle 2 begun from making new lesson plan. It is aimed to change some parts that need to be revised during the implementation of cycle 1. As the planning phase in Cycle 1, the writer also makes preparation of teaching. The writer re-selects the texts and teaching aids to motivate students, so that they will get a better understanding of the texts. Evaluation and post test 2 are prepared t o see students’ achievements in the end of this cycle.
