Data Collection Techniques and Research Instrument

The next step, the questionnaires were also used. In this step, the questionnaires were used in getting the experts’ judgments. It was meant to get their general opinions about the first draft of the materials whether they were suitable for the students or not. The questionnaires were in the form of a Likert Scale. It consisted of target. Respondents were asked to indicate the extent to which they agree or disagree with the items by making e. g giving x or 9 one of the responses arranging from strongly disagree Dornyei, 2003: 45. Finally, the organization is shown in Table 1 and the content coverage of the questionnaires can be seen in Appendix B.

F. Data Analysis Techniques

Data gained in this study were separated into two types. The first type was taken from observation and the interview data. They were in the form of field notes, photos and interview transcript. These data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. In analyzing the qualitative data the researcher used five steps proposed by Gall.et.al 2003: 453 which were called interpretational analysis. They consisted of segmenting the database, developing or selecting categories, coding segments, grouping category segments and drawing conclusions. Firstly, the interview transcripts were broken into segments. A segment could be a phrase, a sentence, a paragraph or even several pages of text which contains only one item of information. Next the researcher selected a category system in which she used four categories used to evaluate the development material. They were goals, input, activities, and appearance of the materials. Afterward, the segments were coded according to the categories used and grouped the same segments together. Finally, conclusions were made based on the grouped-segments. The results were in the form of words and sentences. Further, in analyzing the data from the questionnaire, the researcher used descriptive statistics from the SPSS Statistical Package for the Social Science program. Descriptive Statistics are mathematical techniques for organizing and summarizing a set of numerical data Gall.et.al, 2003: 131. It includes frequencies, central tendency, and variability. Furthermore, the central tendency measure was applied to analyze the data of the respondents’ responses towards the statements. Central tendency is a single numerical value is used to describe the average of an entire set of scores Gall.et.al, 2003: 131. The researcher then analyzed the result of the respondents’ statements related to developed materials using the central tendency measure. Since the central tendency measure consists of mean, median and mode, the data collected from the questionnaire were then presented as in following table.
