CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In this chapter the writer explains about the research method, research design, research participants and setting, data gathering technique and data
analysis. The first part, research method, consists of a series of steps the writer conducts in order to write this thesis. The second part, research design, contains
the explanation of the research design. The third part, research participants and setting, explains the place where the writer conducts the study and who the
participants of the research. The fourth part, data gathering technique, explains how the writer collects the data for the research. The last part, data analysis,
explains how the writer will analyze the gathered data.
A. RESEARCH METHOD
The writer uses the Research and Development cycle in order to have appropriate design for the students. Research and development is a process used
to develop educational products which can enhance teaching and learning processes. The writer uses the Research and Development for the educational
research in order to have more efficient, practical and applicable educational research. There are ten steps in of research and development proposed by Borg
and Gall 1983. Those cycles are research and information collecting, Planning, Develop preliminary form of product, Preliminary field testing, Main product
revision, Main field testing, Operational product revision, Operational field PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
51 testing, Final product revision, Dissemination and implementation. The writer
combined those cycles with the ADDIE model. The combination of those research methods is shown in the table below.

Evaluation Evaluation
It can be seen in the table above that only seven stages out of ten were selected because this research is focused on the developing a model of an Android
application to improve the tenth grade of Senior High School students‟ speaking skill . In addition, it can be inferred that after combining the R D model and
ADIIE model there are five main stages in this research; information collecting, planning, development, implementation and evaluation.
