Data Analysis Technique RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
32 Having selected the issue, the researcher formulated two research problems in
order to make it specific. 2.
Defining Population In defining the population, the researcher chose the eighth semester
students of the English Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University as the main population. The eighth semester students were the relevant
population as the research aims were to find the practice teaching students’
classroom management problems during the School Practice Program and the solutions to the problems.
3. Sampling
After the population had been decided, the researcher chose the sampling. The first sampling method was an online questionnaire. However, since it was
likely to receive low responses, the researcher also used a convenience sampling method because it was not doable to use either a random sampling or a systematic
nonrandom sampling method. The samples were 44 ELESP students in the batch 2011 who have taken the School Practice Program subject.
4. Constructing the Instruments
In constructing the close-ended questionnaire, the researcher used the theory about four classroom management components by Hue and Li 2008. The
researcher did some consultations with the thesis advisor in order to gain feedback for the questionnaire. Moreover, the researcher constructed the interview based on
the problems found on the questionnaire results.

Conducting the Survey The researcher conducted the survey on 26
th
of June up to 4
th
of July 2015. The researcher distributed the questionnaire to the total of 44 respondents. 10
random respondents filled in the online questionnaire while there rest filled in the printed one. Moreover, the interview was conducted on 4
th
and 5
th
of July 2015. The selected interviewees were four students as the members of 44 respondents
who filled in both the printed and online questionnaire. 6.
Processing the Data In processing the data, the researcher used a table to cover the information
based on the close-ended statements. After creating the table, firstly, the researcher calculated the response percentage to make easier analysis. Secondly,
the researcher made the description of the data in the discussion to make it easier for readers to understand the findings of the research. Besides, in processing the
open-ended question the researcher selected the problems that were mostly experienced by the respondents while in the interview, the researcher summarized
the data and presented them into description.
