1. Distributing the Questionnaires

In this step, the researcher distributed the questionnaires to the students. The questionnaires were distributed after the students did their group presentation in the class. Therefore, they had new experiences when they did the group presentation, and their experiences helped them to answer the questionnaires. These questionnaires were distributed to find the data from the students. The questionnaires were distributed in the class, after the group presentation was done, so the students completed the questionnaires in the class. If the students completed the questionnaire in the class they would still concentrate with their work but if they completed the questionnaire at home they would be interrupted by another event. That was the reason, why the researcher asked the students to complete the questionnaires in the class. Then, it was also easy for them to give the questionnaires back to the researcher after they finished completing the questionnaires. In this research, the researcher used close-ended and open-ended questions. The researcher used close-ended questionnaires because it helped the students to answer the questionnaire easily. The students only gave a tick in each statement depend on their experiences. Thus, the researcher used four options to answer the questionnaire, those were strongly disagree SD, disagree D, agree A, and strongly agree SA. There were twenty statements for close-ended part in the questionnaires. For open-ended part, the reseacher gave three questions for the students. The aim of using open-ended questions was to find the students perception on the use of group presentation technique. In these open-ended 25 questions, the students had to answer three questions honestly. Therefore, the students answered the questions based on their experiences on the use of group presentation as the teaching technique.

2. Analyzing and Interpreting Data

After the researcher finished collecting the data, the researcher analyzed and interpreted the data from the students. Analyzing and interpreting the data were the last steps in the research procedure. The data that the researcher got would be the conclusion for this research. Then, the researcher discussed the finding in the chapter four of this research. 26
