CHAPTER III METHOD OF INVESTIGATION
This chapter focuses on the discussion of the research design, the subject of the study, role of the researcher, data, the techniques of data collection and data
analysis are also explained.
3.1 Research Design
The research design of this study used qualitative descriptive approach. Nunan 1992 suggests that qualitative research advocates the use of qualitative methods,
concern with the understanding of human behaviour from the actor‟s own frame of reference, exploratory, descriptive and process oriented.
Qualitative means a non-numerical data collection or explanation based on attributes of the graph of source or data http:en.wikipedia.org wikiqualitative
research accessed on March 6, 2011. Qualitative research is not dealing with number or accounting, but rather with analyzing and interpreting a phenomenon
of life. This study focuses on the reinforcement used in teaching English at the
particular setting and subjects. The research was naturally conducted and involved the human behaviour in its natural setting. All the activities in this research are
related to the preparation of conducting the research plan. Besides planning the classroom observation, constructing instruments for data, composing such as a set
of questioners were also done. After the preparations were well-planned, the researcher collected data related to the topic of the study from the research field,
26
which was by conducting field observations and delivering the questioners to the street children. The last step was data analysis.
Qualitative analysis was made on all the data, which had been taken before from the research field. This qualitative research presents the data research in the
form of qualitative with descriptive approach. Descriptive approach has purpose to describe the existing situations by collecting data. According to Gay 1981:
153 a descriptive approach determines and reports the way things are. The descriptive approach is useful for investigating problems and report the research‟s
result in which described, explained, and gave reasons for the finding of data arguments in the study. This qualitative study obtains the descriptive data in
qualified analysis. By using non statistical technique, analysis of this type is done with words to describe conclusions which were found in the research field.
As had been introduced at the previous chapter, the writer used the qualitative data analysis with descriptive approach in which she described,
explained and gave reason for her findings, data, and arguments. This study tries to identify and explore reinforcement used by the English teachers in the teaching
and learning process at the particular setting on the spot with street children. Through the instrument and technique in the qualitative method, the writer tried to
evaluate what she found in the research field in the form of qualified descriptive analysis. Considering the primary data that would be obtained by the writer, there
were six kinds of reinforcement used by the English teacher during teaching and learning process in the classroom. The writer used the descriptive method in
which she described, explained and gave the reason for her findings, data and
arguments. That is why the writer used a qualitative descriptive research in this study.
