G. The Classroom Action Research CAR Procedures
The classroom action research which uses Kurt Lewin’s design consists of four phases within one cycle. Those are planning, acting, observing, and then reflecting.
After finishing the first cycle, it will probably be found some new problems or the previous unfinished problems yet. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to the second
cycle which has the same concept as it is done in the first cycle. Below are the clear explanations of what will happen in every cycle:
1. Planning Phase
After identifying and diagnosing students’ problem on irregular verb which is proven by observing the students’ condition in the class, interviewing
the teachers about students’ problem on irregular verb, interviewing students’
about their difficulties in learning English, and doing pre-test to get more- accurate data. Then, it will be made some planning about the treatment which
will be implemented to solve students’ problem on irregular verb. The
planning is in the form of lesson plan which is prepared to be implemented in the eighth grade male Tirmidzi of SMPIT Raflesia, Cimanggis- Depok
academic Year 20102011. Furthermore, some songs will also be chosen to be used
as the medium to retain students’ memory on irregular verb. In this phase, some research instruments such as: Structured observation sheet, field
notes, and sheets of exercise are also made to be used as supporting data.
2. Acting Phase
After accomplishing the planning phase, it will be decided an appropriate strategy to be implemented in acting phase. The activity in this
acting phase will be conducted based on the lesson plan has been made. It is done by
focusing on retaining students’ memory on irregular verb only. Then, at the end of this phase, the writer gives a posttest to students.
3. Observing Phase
During the teaching learning process, all activities occurred in the class such as:
the students’ activity, the students’ participation, the students’ attention, the students’ response and the class situation will be observed by
using the form that has been prepared before. Meanwhile, the real teacher will also observe the class activities by filling up the field note and the structured
observation sheet. Besides, it will also be collected the data which is gotten from the posttest given to the students.
4. Reflecting Phase
After finishing the action phase, it will be accomplished a reflection about the activity in the action phase by analyzing all data including: pretest,
posttest, and observation. It was all done in order to know whether songs are effective to be used as the medium of retaining the eighth grade Tirmidzi
students’ memory on irregular verb. If the first cycle is unsuccessful yet, it will be designed a new planning to be used in the next cycle. The planning is
also made to solve the unfinished problem in the first cycle.
