Therefore, the researcher was able to design appropriate materials for students’ needs.
E. Data Analysis Techniques
According to Bogdan and Biklen 1982:145, data analysis was the process of searching and organizing the accumulated data in order to increase
our understanding of the data and to enable us to present the findings to others. In this research, the research collected the data by interviewing two
English teachers of SMK BOPKRI 1 Yogyakarta and distributing questionnaires for the tenth grade students of SMK BOPKRI 1 Yogyakarta.
Several steps that were done in data analysis were as follows. 1.
Interview The researcher conducted an interview with the teachers concerning
about the difficulties in teaching reading subjects. The information obtained from the teachers through teachers’ answer then was used as a
basis for designing the instructional materials. 2.
Questionnaire In this research, the data gathered from the questionnaires represented
the students’ need, interest and lacks toward reading subjects. The researcher used closed-ended question type of questionnaires since the
answer were already available, therefore, the answer were able to be counted easily. For instance, the researcher asked the students whether
they have any difficulty in reading subject or not. For about 40 of the PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
students answered no and 60 of the students answered yes. The percentage showed that most of the students have any difficulty in
reading subject. Then the 60 are to be used as a basis to design the materials. Here, the researcher tried to design materials that make the
students understand passages, dialogs, effectively. Then, the results of questionnaires were used to design appropriate materials for students.
Next, the data collected from the questionnaires were counted. The researcher used descriptive statistics for analyzing the data. One of the
ways to count the data was by using Central Tendency formulation. Central Tendency was the tendency of a set of numbers to cluster around a
particular value. Here, the researcher used Mean, Median, and Mode. The mode, median, and mean were derived from the analysis of the
data from the evaluation questionnair es. Students’ answers were counted
to find the average values of the questionnaires as a basic of students’ needs. The assessment of the respondents’ opinion of the designed
materials used five points of agreement:
