International Mathematics Education Study Program

helping them to do the teaching and learning process in the class. The English reading materials are conducted in the form of supplementary book. In developing the materials, several steps are done in this research; they are conducting need analysis, writing course grid, writing the first draft of thematerials, getting experts’ judgment, and writing the final draft of the materials. Before writing the materials, firstly the researcher distributed the needs analysis and examined the result of needs analysis. After conducting and analyzing needs analysis, the result should be applied in form of course grid. The course grid will be a guide in developing the materials in form of supplementary book. The materials should be developed based on some principles of material development in order to meet the characteristics good materials. The materials consist of several units. Units are constructed around a theme, objectives and a number of tasks. There are some components of task: goal, input, procedure, teacher and learner roles, and setting. Tasks should be arranged graded and sequenced in such a way that it can help the students to learn English easily and effectively. After the materials are developed, material evaluation should be done in order to check the fitness of the goals with the objectives. Finally, the output of this research is a set of English reading materials for International Mathematics Education Study Program of Yogyakarta State University. 45

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD

This chapter consists of research methodology started from the type of the study, the population and sample, setting, instruments of the study, data collection, data analysis techniques and research procedures.

A. Type of the Study

The purpose of this study is to develop a product for students of International Mathematics Education that can be used as an English reading course book. Borg and Gall 1983 state that the term ‘product’ is not always about materials such as text books, videos but also the learning method and learning organization. Hence, this study is categorized as Research and Development. The purpose of research and development study is to develop effective products to be used in educational programs.

B. Population and Sample of the Study

In this research, the population is the students of International Mathematics Education study program. These students are in the 4 th and 6 th semesters which consist of 37 students.

C. Setting of the Study

This study was conducted at Yogyakarta State University, Faculty of Mathematics and Science from April up to May 2015. The campus is located in Karangmalang street, Sleman District, Province of Yogyakarta Special Territory.
