CHAPTER IV
RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter elaborates the results of the research being conducted. It consists of two main parts, namely The Development Process of the Material and
the Presentation of the Designed Material. The first part consisting of six steps, those are Research and Information Collecting, Planning, Product Development,
Expert Judgments, Main Product Revision, and Final Product Revision.
A. RESEARCH RESULTS
This part presented the results of the research which consisted of several parts. The first part was the development process of the material which gave clear
explanation about reading class, learners’ characteristics, and support services.
The second part named planning consisted of four main subs. Those were stating the goals, topic and general purposes, stating the objectives of the lesson, listing
and organizing subject contents, and selecting learning activities. The next part were product development which described concisely about sections on the
designed material named warming-up, text exploration, vocabulary, exercises, reading skills, and puzzle. In the experts’ judgments results, it elaborated the
participants’ data and the results of the questionnaire distributed to the experts. The next part was the analysis of the experts’ judgments results which covered
four points, namely general opinions of the designed material, the strengths of the designed material, the weaknesses of the designed material, and suggestions for

improvement. The last part being presented was final product revision. It consisted of three points, namely the revisions, product testing to the students and
the analysis of the questionnaire distributed to the students.
1. The Development Process of the Material
This part presented the steps being done by the writer in developing the material. It included the activity starting from gaining preliminary data collecting
up to revising the designed material. The complete description of every step taken was presented in the following sub topics, namely 1 research and information
collecting, 2 planning, 3 product development, 4 the experts’ judgments results, 5 the anal
ysis of the experts’ judgments results, and 6 final product revision. Moreover, the second part involved other steps in Kemp’s model,
namely 1 stating the goals, topic and general purposes, 2 stating the objectives of the lesson, 3 listing and organizing subject contents, and 4 selecting learning
objectives.
a. Research and Information Collecting
The first step in Research and Development Method is research and information collecting. The step was adapted from the first step of Research and
Development proposed by Borg and Gall. It covered the needs to gather preliminary data that will be used to design the material. In this research, the step
consisting of three parts, namely gaining information on teaching learning process on reading class, gaining
information on learners’ characteristics, and finding information on support services provided by the school. Thus, library research
was also conducted in order to look for all information related to the current
