Richards 2006: 193 states that in One Stay Three Stray strategy, groups share with other groups rather than with the entire class. The steps of using One
Stay Three Stray strategy are: 1
groups complete tasks, 2
three group members leave the group and stray individually to other groups,
3 the remaining group member, the stayer, explains what their group has
done to the visiting strayers, who ask questions and provide feedback, 4
strayers return to their home group and report what they have learned, while stayers report on feedback they received,
5 group can revise their work, and another round of Stay-Stray can take
place with new strayers if needed.
2.3 Framework of the Present Study
To evaluate the students‟ achievement in writing, I use rating scale. There are many types of rating scales from some experts. In this study, I use the
scheme of rating scale according to Brown and Bailey 1984 as quoted by Brown 2004: 244-245 in the book of Language Assessment because Brown and Bailey
design an analytical scoring scale that specifies five major categories of writing and a description of five different levels in each category, ranging from
“unacceptable” to “excellent”, thus enabling learners to home in on weaknesses and to capitalize on strengths.
There also have been some experts talking about stating significance. In this study, I follow Arikunto in defining significance that is by comparing t
test
with t
table
. T
test
is obtained by calculating the mean of pre-test, as baseline data, and the mean of post-test. In his book, Prosedur Penelitian: Suatu Pendekatan
Praktik, Arikunto 2006: 306 mentions that whenever the result of t
test
is higher than the value of t
table
, then it can be stated that the method used in the study is significant. In contrast, if the t
table
is higher than t
test
, so that the method used in the study is not significant.
For the whole and complete description about experimental design and analytical framework used in this research will be more discussed in chapter III,
Research Methodology.
CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Here, several sub-chapters are going to be discussed. There will be research design, subject of the study, sampling testing, research variables, type of data,
research instrument, method of collecting data, One Stay Three Stray strategy applied in teaching hortatory exposition text, and the last method of analyzing
data.
3.3
Research Design
Research design that was used in this research was pre-experimental design. Pre- experimental designs are classified depending on whether there is an involvement
of one or two groups, and whether the groups are post-tested only, or both are pre- tested and post-tested.
The design of the research was one group pretest-posttest design. This design is visually illustrated as follows:
The design procedures could be explained as follows: 1
