CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the methodology of this research. The chapter includes the research method, research setting, research participants, instruments
and data gathering technique, and also data analysis technique.
A. Research Method
This research employed the theory of mixed-method research. Ary, Jacobs, Sorensen, and Razavieh 2010 state that “mixed-method combines quantitative
and qualitative research method in different ways, with each approach adding something to
the understanding of the phenomenon” p. 559. Thus, the purpose of this method is to gain deeper understanding about a phenomenon by using the
features of quantitative and qualitative research method. The researcher used mixed-method to get deeper understanding of the research topic. By combining
the quantitative and qualitative data, the researcher got rich data which could strengthen each method to gain deeper understanding of the topic.
According to Ary et al. 2010, there are seven designs in the mixed- method research. However, this research design was a concurrent triangulation. In
this design, the quantitative and qualitative data were collected separately. Nevertheless, the data were united in the discussion to answer a research problem.
The researcher used questionnaires and interviews as the data collection
26 techniques. Then, the data from both instruments were mixed in the discussion to
get deeper understanding about the research problems.
B. Research Setting
The research was done in Sanata Dharma University. To test the self- monitoring sheets for weekly meetings, the researcher distributed the sheets two
times, once in two weeks. The distributions of the sheets were done on Thursday, 2 March 2017 and Thursday, 16 March 2017, both were at K.12. Then, the
distribution of self-monitoring sheets for progress test in a form of presentations was done on Thursday, 30 March 2017 at E-Corner.
This opportunity was also used by the researcher to distribute questionnaires. Then, the researcher chose five students to be interviewed based
on their responses to the questionnaires. Then, the interviews with the students were conducted on Monday, 10 April 2017 in the side park of the campus. The
interviews started from 11.00 a.m. and finished at 11.30 a.m.
C. Research Participants
The participants of this research were the students of Critical Listening and Speaking II class, Class A, semester 4, batch 2015. Actually, there were 29
