Research Procedure RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

40 After the researcher finished the data calculation of the questionnaire, the researcher drew conclusions of each statement and combined it at each category of the questionnaire. The researcher drew conclusion of the students’ perceptions on the use of mind mapping to develop their organization of ideas in speaking and the implications of the findings. The interview analysis was obtained by having all of the results of the interviews. The interview results were about further information of the data questionnaire on why they chose the answers. The samples of the interviewees were the students of class VIII C and VIII D who mostly answered ‘disagree’ or ‘strongly disagree’ from the questionnaire. They were selected as the interviewees because they were asked further information about problems in speaking, the process of using mind mapping, and the students’ perceptions on the use of mind mapping in speaking. Besides, it was also about clarification of the ambiguous answers. The interview results were analyzed by summarizing each number of the interview questions. The researcher drew conclusion based on the results of the answers each number. Afterwards, the researcher rechecked all of the answers from the data analysis in order to get applicable conclusion.

3.6 Research Procedure

To obtain the valid and accurate data of the research, the researcher used some steps in conducting the research. The steps in conducting the research were 41 used by the researcher to facilitate in the research process. The steps of the research were:

1. Finding the Problem

Firstly, the researcher conducted observation to the students of SMP N 2 Sedayu and had an informal conversation to the English teachers of SMP N 2 Sedayu. Through the observation and the informal conversation, the researcher found that the students were difficult in practicing speaking skill. The researcher decided to conduct a study on the technique for helping the students in learning speaking. Mind-mapping was proposed by the researcher as the technique which would be used to help the students develop their organization of ideas in speaking. The researcher focused the study on the students’ perceptions on the use mind mapping in speaking skill.

2. Review of Related Literature

In order to get a complete understanding of the study, the researcher tried to attain some information related to the study by collecting some theories. The researcher collected the theories, synthesized the theories and used those theories as the background knowledge in conducting the research.

3. Preparing the Research asking permission

Before the researcher conducted the research, the researcher prepared anything needed. The preparation was included of asking permission to the head of English Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University and the headmaster of SMP N 2 Sedayu. The researcher gave the letter of permission 42 to the headmaster of SMP N 2 Sedayu in order to get the permission of conducting research in that school.

5. Conducting the Research

The researcher conducted the research after the instruments were fixed to be distributed to the respondents eighth grade students and English teachers. At the first time, the researcher taught the mind mapping technique to the students and it was used to implement the technique in teaching learning process. The students had to use mind mapping to develop their organization of idea in speaking. The process of using mind mapping took 3 meetings. The researcher implemented mind mapping technique to class VIII C and VIII D.

6. Evaluating

At the last step, the researcher distributed questionnaire to the students. The questionnaire was done in order to obtain the information related to the students’ perception on the use of mind mapping in speaking skill and the implications of the findings. The researcher conducted interview also to obtain the further information related to the data of questionnaire. The researcher analyzed 43 the results of the questionnaire and interview by consulting the related theories of the study. 44
