3.8 Data Analysis Method and Reflection of the Action
The collected data were analyzed by using simple statistic with percentage formula.
3.8.1 Data Analysis
The data obtained from observation as process evaluation analyzed quantitatively by using the following formula:
Notes : A = the total number of the students who fulfill at least 3 indicators
N = the total number of the students joining reading class by using NHT
technique Taken from Cohen, 2007:423
Notes :
A = the total number of the students who get at least 75
N = the total number of the students doing the test
Taken from Cohen, 2007:423
3.8.2 Reflection of the Action
In this stage, the researcher did reflection collaboratively with the English teacher after analyzing the data. The aim of doing reflection is in order to know
the strength and weaknesses of the action. It could be said that reflection helped both of researcher and the English teacher to know whether or not the use of
Numbered Heads Together NHT Technique can improve the grade VIII- C students’ participation and their reading comprehension achievement at MTs N
Arjasa in the 20142015 academic year.

CHAPTER 4. RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter reports the results both of the actions of the first cycle and the second cycle. Each consists of the results of the observation, the results of reading comprehension
tests, the result of the reflections, and discussion of research results. Each topic is presented respectively in the following section.
4.1 The Result of the Actions in Cycle 1
This section presents about the aspects done in Cycle 1 of this research. They are the implementation of the action, the results of observation in Cycle 1, the result of the reading
comprehension test in Cycle 1, and the results of the reflection in Cycle 1. Each part is reported in the following sections.
4.1.1 The Implementation of the Action in Cycle 1
The action in the first cycle was conducted by the researcher in three meetings, including the time for the reading comprehension test. The first meeting was done on March

2015 Reading Test Cycle 1
The researcher implemented the action in Cycle 1 based on the lesson plans which constructed collaboratively by the researcher and the English teacher of class VIII C. In the
first meeting and second meeting of Cycle 1, the researcher became the teacher of the actions, while the observer was the English teacher of class VIII C at MTs N. She observed the
students’ active participation both in the first and second meeting of Cycle 1. The time allocation was 2x40 minutes.
