which is students’ perceptions and researcher’s perception. The writer compared and contrasted data gathered from field notes, interview and questionnaires. Then
it came into conclusion.
G. Research Procedure
Research procedure of classroom action research is preceded by the identification of the field problem and determining some actions to overcome the
field problems. After these two processes were done, the researcher implemented the actions.
1. The Identification of the Field Problem
The problem identification process was done by observing, interviewing, and distributing questionnaires before this research was conducted.
First, the researcher did several observations during the English teaching and learning process to know the real condition in the seventh grade students of
SMP BOPKRI 2 Yogyakarta. During observations, the researcher found eleven problems related to the English teaching and learning process in Class 7A. The
problems can be seen in the table below.
Table 3.1. Problems Related to the English Teaching and Learning Process in Class 7A
No Problems
1. When the teacher came to the class, the students were still not ready to
study.
2. When the bell rang, many students were still outside the class.
3. Students often made noise in class
4. Students talked to each other when the teaching and learning activity was
still going on. 5.
Students went out of the classroom when the teacher was out for a moment 6.
Students walked around the classroom when the teaching and learning activity was going on.
7. Students often made up something for fun in answering the teacher’s
questions. 8.
Students did not pay any attention when the teacher explains in front of the class.
9. Students often came late to class so that the teaching- learning process was
disturbed. 10. Students played with their classmates when the teaching- learning process
was going on. 11. Students often did not do their homework.
The researcher then did interview and distributed questionnaire. Interview was done to obtain the students’ opinions about things related to the English
teaching and learning process, including the problems they faced. Questionnaires were also distributed to the students to complete the data about their problems and
their characteristics. From the identification process could be concluded that the problem faced
by the seventh grade students of SMP BOPKRI 2 Yogyakarta was related to the students’ participation in the English teaching and learning process. They lacked
participation in the English teaching and learning process in the classroom.
The researcher also analyzed the root of the problem so that it would help in finding the solutions. The researcher found that the students’ low participation
was caused not only by the students’ characteristic itself, but also the teaching and learning process. The process of learning did not have any variations so they were
easy to get bored. The interview showed that many students considered English as a difficult
subject. Because they found it difficult to learn English, they became not care so they did not do their homework, they often made noise in class, they got sleepy in
class, they did something for fun, they disturb other friends, they did not pay any attention to the teacher explanation, and the sort of things.
The main point was that the problem faced by the 7A students of SMP BOPKRI 2 Yogyakarta was the participation in the English teaching and learning
process was low. Thus, it needed some actions to solve the problem.
