f. Semi-structured Interview
The researcher interviewed six students after implementing the jigsaw technique in the last cycle in order to get students’ opinion about the
implementation of the jigsaw technique. The researcher provided five questions to the students. The question was open-ended question. They were 1 What is the
stud ents’ opinion about the use of the jigsaw technique in the classroom? 2
What are the benefits of using the jigsaw technique in the classroom? 3 What are the obstacles of learning descriptive texts using the jigsaw technique? 4 Does the
use of the j igsaw technique improve the students’ participation? 5 What is the
students’ suggestion to improve the use of the jigsaw technique? Corbetta 2003, explains semi-structured interviews below:
The order in which the various topics are dealt with and the wording of the questions are left to the interviewer’s discretion. Within each topic, the
interviewer is free to conduct the conversation as he thinks fit, to ask the questions he deems appropriate in the words he considers best, to give
explanation and ask for clarification if the answer is not clear, to prompt the respondent to elucidate further if necessary, and to establish his own
style of conversation. p. 270
37 From that explanation, the researcher concluded that semi-structured
interviews could help the researcher to acquire data with flowed-questions in informal situation. The researcher could get the data deeply through interviews.
E. Data Analysis Technique
The researcher analyzed the data in order to answer the questions which were formulated in the research problems. The researcher used a triangulation
technique to analyze the data in this research. According to Cohen Manion 1997, “Data Triangulation involves the collection of data from multiple sources
with the intent to obtain diverse views of the studied phenomenon with the purpose of enhancing the val
idity” as cited in Ziyani, I., King, U., Ehlers, V. 2004, p. 12. It helps the researcher to obtain the data from different perspective in
order to get the validity. Then, the researcher divided the data analysis from the instruments into two categories below:
1 Preliminary Study Result a. Field Notes
In the first observation, the researcher used the field notes to get the data. The data was taken during the teaching and learning process. The researcher noted
some important things that occurred in the class. The field notes were analyzed by concluding the problems found in the class.
