D. Data Gathering Technique

In gathering the data, the researcher used the three instruments to answer the two research questions. This sub-chapter explained how the instruments worked and also how the data were gathered. There are three steps in gathering the data. In the first step of gathering data from the participants, the researcher maximized the use of observation checklist. The researcher observed the students’ behavior before viewing, during viewing, and after viewing. The observation took about two weeks, one observation each week. The researcher only did the observation twice because of the time availability between the schedule of Teknik Komputer Jaringan English lesson and the researcher. In the second step, the researcher distributed a questionnaire. The questionnaire was used to obtain information about the students’ perception on the activities, motivation and implication of using videos. It was also used to determine the six students who would be interviewed. It took twenty minutes for the students to fill in the questionnaire. The schedule of distributing the questionnaire was chosen by considering the schedule of the English class and the available time of the English teacher and the researcher. In the last step, in order to obtain more information from the students, the researcher interviewed six students who were chosen based on the scores of the questionnaire. The researcher took two students who had high scores, two students who had average scores, and two students who had low scores. The researcher interviewed the students one by one in order to obtain reliable data. 30

E. Data Analysis Techniques

After the data were gathered, the researcher then analyzed them in order to obtain answer to the questions formulated in the problem formulation. The research used three instruments: an observation checklist, a questionnaire and an interview, which strengthened one another. Therefore, the data analyzed were from the three instruments. First, the researcher analyzed the observation results that were related to the students’ behavior before viewing, during viewing and after viewing. The observation helped the researcher to answer the first research question. According to Bootzin 1983:120, if students have positive behavior toward the learning, they will have positive perception on the learning. On the other hand, if students have negative behavior toward the learning, they will have negative perception. Based on that theory, the researcher analyzed the students’ behavior toward the use of videos in learning English. Second, the researcher analyzed the questionnaire. The researcher used Likert scale in analyzing the questionnaire. The range is from ‘never’ column 1, ‘rarely’ column 2, ‘sometimes’ column 3, ‘often’ column 4, and ‘very often’ column 5. This questionnaire was aimed to find students who would be interviewed by the researcher. The researcher counted the scores of the questionnaire then she chose two students who had high scores, two students who had average scores, and two students who had low scores. The scores were based on the data obtained.
