Technique and at least 75 of the students could reach score 75 or more in the reading comprehension test. It was conducted by revising some necessary aspects
which cause the failure of the first cycle. The implementation of the actions in the second cycle was based on the Lesson Plan 3 for Meeting 1 and Lesson Plan 4 for
Meeting 2. In meeting 3, the students were given reading comprehension test after they were taught reading by using Webbing Technique. The lesson plans for cycle
2 were enclosed in Appendix J and K.
3.6.3 Observation
Observation in this Classroom Action Research had an important function to observe the
students’ activities during the application of teaching learning process by using Webbing Technique. The observation was done collaboratively
with the English teacher. These activities were done twice in each cycle. The observation guide was in the form of checklist including four indicators to observe
the students ’ participation in joining the teaching learning process of reading
through Webbing Technique. In cycle 1, in the first meeting, the observer was the teacher. In the second
meeting, the observer was the researcher. In cycle 2, in the first meeting, the observer was the teacher. In the second meeting, the observer was the researcher.
The indicators that were observed during the application of the actions were: showing eagerness in learning the descriptive texts about people by using
webbing technique, completing the web in groups, showing cooperation with their groups in making the web based on the text, doing the reading exercises given by
the teacher in the form of multiple choice questions responsibly.
3.6.4 Evaluation
Evaluation was conducted to know whether the use of Webbing Technique improved the st
udents’ participation and their reading comprehension achievement or not. There were two kinds of evaluation that were used in this
research. They were process evaluation and product evaluation. The process evaluation was us
ed to evaluate the students’ participation during the teaching of
35
reading by using Webbing Technique. Then, the product evaluation was used at the end of the meeting in the each cycle in the form of the
students’ reading comprehension achievement test in the form of multiple choice questions.
3.6.5 Reflection
Reflection was done after analyzing the data collected from the results of the observation and the reading comprehension achievement test in each cycle. In
this research, Reflection was done collaboratively with the English teacher to know whether the actions given were successful or not, to know whether the
action given had weaknesses or strengths and to find the solutions of the weaknesses of the action.
In cycle 1, the results of observation in the first and the second meeting had achieved the target percentage required in this research that was 75.
However, the students did not perform well in the first indicator that was showing eagerness in learning the descriptive texts about people by using Webbing
Technique. Then, the results of the reading comprehension achievement test had not achieved the target percentage required in this research that was 75. Based
on the results of the observations and the reading test, it was needed to solve the problems that caused the failure in cycle 1 by revising some weaknesses in the
implementation of the action in cycle 2. In cycle 2, the results of observation in the first and the second meeting
had achieved the target percentage required in this research that was 75. Then, the results of the reading comprehension achievement test had also achieved the
target percentage required in this research that was 75. This second cycle was the end of the cycle. It was stopped because the actions in cycle 2 had achieved
the target in this research.
