The Techniques of Analyzing the Data

F. The Techniques of Analyzing the Data

In the research, the researcher will analyze the qualitative data and quantitative data

1. Qualitative data

In qualitative data, the data will derive thorough the observation sheet of the Students’ and the researcher's activities. There are three steps that researcher will analyze in qualitative data as written bellow.

a) Reduction of data is evaluating and classifying the data based on the information and must be organized according to the statements of the research

b) Explanation of data is data that have been organized by the researcher must be classified to get the meaning in the table, graphic or narration forms.

c) Conclusion is after making the explanation of the data, the researcher will take some conclusions about the data in the step of formula The qualitative data that relates to the result of the observation sheet will be

analyzed by using the formula as suggested by Tuckman in Nurgiyantoro (1975: 287), as follows:

F PD(%)= x 100 TA

Explanation: PD

= Percentage degree

F = Frequency of the researcher's and the students' activities has been already done TA

= Whole activities of the researcher and the students 100

= Constant and maximal number

So, the students' and the researcher's activities based on the observation sheet it can

be interpreted into some categories, as follows. 85% - l00%

= Very good 75% - 84%

= Good

60% - 74% = Adequate 40% - 59%

= Less

0% - 39% = Fail It can be comprehended that, to gather the data of qualitative the researcher needs observation sheet that is comprised some activities of the students and the researcher. Observation sheet of the researcher refers to some activities that have been arranged in lesson plan If the researcher does his activities that have been arranged in his lesson plan, so the teacher-collaborator checks it in column of done but if the researcher does not do his activities that have been arranged in his lesson plan, so the teacher-collaborator checks it in column of undone. The meaning of done is the activity that has been done by the researcher, while undone is the activity that has not been done by the researcher. Whereas the observation paper of the students refers to some activities of the students during the teaching-learning process.

Since the observation sheet consists of three pieces for each meeting, one Since the observation sheet consists of three pieces for each meeting, one

2. Quantitative data Quantitative data relates to the result of the oral test thd bas been recorded in video recorder will be analyzed by scoring all the students' speaking In this case, the

researcher follows the aspect of scoring of Adams and Fifth (1979:35-8) in Hughes (1993: I 13) that states that there are five criteria levels that should be paid attention, they are; accent, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension as follows.

Obtained score Value = x 100 Maximum score

Then the researcher comes to the Minimum Competence Criterion (MCC) to consult the value of the students. The Minimum Competence Criterion that has been decided at the eighth grade of SMP Negeri 3 Hiliduho is 60. If the students' value >

60, it can be said that the students are successful and the researcher stops to do the research. While, if the students' value < 60, it can be said that the students are successful and the researcher continues to do the research in the next cycle.
