Action Hypothesis THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
students‘ score achievement from each test. 2. Acting Phase
In this phase, the writer and the English teacher work collaboratively in implementing the planned action. The role in this action is the writer as the
teacher who conducts a teaching learning plan activity in the classroom. The researcher directly involves in the class research totally, from the beginning
until the end of the research. The writer used group work as the strategy in teaching reading comprehension, and the teacher observed the condition of
class during teaching and learning process. Here, it begin the process of research problems that the writer found it, and also there were two cycles in
which each cycle consisted of three meetings in action. 3. Observing Phase
During the acting phase, the English teacher observer observes teaching learning activity in the classroom. The researcher has to make an observational
note that is written about all of activities that happened in the class research and check the guideli
nes of teacher‘s observation. For example, class situation, teacher performance, student response, et cetera. However, observing phase is a
phase to collect the data pre action and post test that related to teaching learning activity which has the aim to
know and to solve the students‘ problem. 4. Reflecting Phase
The reflection is the process to evaluate data that have been collected in the observing phase. Both the writer and the teacher try to reflect the result of
previous research, discuss and analyze the data. In this phase, they also discuss some problems that occur in the classroom research. The analysis result is used
for reference to next plan or cycle if it is needed. Thus, reflecting phase can be determined after the acting phase and the observing phase. In this step, the
teacher has to understand the issue of teaching and learning and the situation in the class that has been taught.
