CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A. The Place and Time of the Study
The writer chose MTs. Salafiyah Bedahan as a place of study. It is located at Jl. H. Sulaiman No. 9 Bedahan, Sawangan Kota Depok. The study will be
conducted on January 2014.
B. Method and Research Design
1. Method
This study will be conducted using a quasi experimental research that uses 2 classes which consists of one control class and one experimental class.
Generally, the researcher in experimental research uses two groups, experimental group as a group that gets the treatment and the control group that doesn‟t get
treatment. So, this study will be focused on using REAP technique as a treatment in experimental class, then the writer will compare the result with a control class
that doesn‟t get a treatment in the end of the research.
2. Research Design
In this study the writer will use a quasi-experimental method with one experimental class and one control class. The design of experiment that will be
used is:
Pretest Treatment
Posttest Difference
Experimental Class X

C. The Population and Sample
1. Population
The population of this study is the first grade student of MTs Salafiyah which consists of 180 students and divided into 4 classes; class VII.1, VII.2,
VII.3, VII.4.
2. Samples
The sampling technique of this research is Purposive Sampling. It is purposive because the sampling is determined by certain considerations.
2
The sample was 60 students from two classes; VII.1 and VII.4. The writer
implemented without REAP technique in the first class VII.1 and REAP technique was implemented in the second class VII.4. Before the writer
conducted the research, she made sure that both classes have the same characteristic by doing a pre observation. She observed the teaching and learning
process in the classroom once and she saw the students‟ reading score from their real teacher. It was found that the students from both classes have the same
characteristic. The sample of this study is a class VII.1 as a control class and VII.4 as experimental class which each class consist of 30 students.
D. The Instrument of The Research
The Instrument of the research is a test. The test was multiple choices. It was consist of 40 items which is designed not only validity but also reliability.
Before the test is applied, the 40 items of the tests was tested first toward students of second grade to know its validity and reliability. The validity and reliability test
