Data Analysis Technique Research Procedure

27 27 was conducted in approximately 5-10 minutes for each participant. Gall, Gall, and Borg in 2006 concluded, “a sample in which all members of the accessible population had an equ al chance of being selected” p. 168. In addition, the researcher conducted interview on 4-5 June 2015.

E. Data Analysis Technique

The data analysis dealt with the questionnaire ’s results. The researcher examined the results of the questionnaire by counting the number of ticks from every degree of agreement. Then, the researcher grouped the data and presented in percentage mode. Moreover, the results of the data were interpreted descriptively. Wiersma 1995 states that the low value represents negative responses and the high value represents positive responses p. 183. Next, the researcher made a classification for the results of the percentage. The students had negative perceptions if the result of percentage was less than the results of positive percentage. Then the students had positive perceptions if the results of positive percentage were higher than the results of the negative percentage. The data were presented in form of table see Table 3.2, p. 28. In order to count the percentage from every degree of agreement, the following formula is used: ∑ Note: x = number of the students who chose the degree of agreement n = the total numbers of the students being observed 28 28 Table 3.2 Participants’ Rating Scales Responses No Statements Degree of Agreement SD D U A SA 1. Statement 1 2. Statement 2 Etc. SD: Strongly Disagree; D: Disagree; U: Undecided; A: Agree; SA: Strongly Agree For the open-ended questions, the researcher grouped, clustered, and classified the same answers and then interpreted then, whereas the data from the interview were transcribed in the written form. Then, the researcher categorized the results based on some related theories. From the existing theories, the researcher gathered the final results which answer the research questions. Next, the interview data were integrated and displayed in descriptive form.

F. Research Procedure

In conducting the research, the researcher took some steps which were necessary to the research procedures. Below are the eight steps that must be followed by the researcher. 1. The researcher selected the topic and formulated the research problems. In this step, the researcher brainstormed many topics and discussed them with the lecturer. Then the researcher decided the topic that was interesting to be conducted. Next, the researcher formulated research questions that were needed to be answered through the research. 29 29 2. The researcher found and wrote the review of related literature. In this step, the researcher read many theories related to the topic of research and tried to understand what those theories were about. After that, the researcher wrote the review of the theories. 3. The researcher selected the appropriate methods that could be applied in this research. In this step, the participants were also selected by purposive sampling. The researcher also made the instrument to be applied in gathering the data. Those were the questionnaire and the interview. 4. The researcher asked the permission to the lecturer to conduct the research in the Language Teaching Media class. In this step, the researcher met the lecturer and asked the permission. The researcher also asked the time to start the research. 5. The researcher distributed the questionnaire to all students. The questionnaire was given to 49 students and it consisted of open-ended and close-ended questions. 6. The researcher started to process the results of the questionnaire. In this step, the researcher interpreted the data and made the detail information descriptively. The researcher also selected some interesting points that needed more information through interview. 7. The researcher did interview. In this step, the researcher did the interview based on the questionnaire results. 30 30 8. The researcher reported the results and draw conclusions of the research. In this step, the researcher reported the results in written form and wrote the conclusions of the research. The researcher also gave suggestions to the students in English Language Education Study Program, the Language Teaching Media lecturers, and the future researchers. 31 31

CHAPTER IV DATA ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter consists of two sections. Those are the data analysis and the discussion. The first section analyses and discusses the raw data of the questionnaire and interview. The discussion explains the relation between the raw data and the supported theories in order to answer the research questions.

A. Data Analysis

The data analysis is meant to answer both research questions. Therefore, there are two discussions in this section. The first one is how students in Language Teaching class develop listening media. Then the second section discusses the students’ perceptions on the use of computer software to develop listening media in Language Teaching Media class.

1. Students

’ Steps in Language Teaching Media Class to Develop Listening Media The researcher employed both questionnaire and interview to gather the data about students ’ steps in Language Teaching Media class to develop listening media. Close-ended questionnaire was meant to measure student’s state of agreement or disagreement, while open-ended questionnaire was to obtain the reasons of the statements given.
