33 learning in terms of their accomplishment of objectives by reviewing and
reevaluating the design material that need improvement. Nevertheless in this study, the writer only focuses to design the supplementary English material in a
form of infographic, so it is not necessary to implement the design for evaluation at school. The writer evaluated the design by distributing the questionnaire to
some evaluators. It will be discussed further on the next chapter.

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter discussed the methods of the research analysis, the research procedure and also data analysis. This part of the study includes research method,
research setting, research participant, instrument and data gathering technique, and data analysis technique and research procedure.
A. Research Method
There were two major problems found in this study. First, this study was conducted to know how supplementary English materials for seventh grade of
BOPKRI 1 Junior High School are designed using infographic media. Second, this
study was also conducted to know how does the set of supplementary English materials for BOPKRI 1 Junior High School look like.
To answer the research questionproblems of this study, the writer used the research and development RD from Borg and Gall 1983 theory. The
followings will explain more about this research. This study used research and development method. Before the writer
started the research, the writer observed the curriculum and the learning material used in English learning. It contained the learning materials such as books,
journals and the syllabus that were used by the school. The information that the writer had were used for designing the infographic, the learning exercises and
35 learning activities for the deigned material. The data and the information about the
students’ need in language learning was very important in order to help the writer designed the material.
After finding the data and information for the design, the writer conducted the research using Borg and Gall
’s 1983 theory to achieve the research objectives in this study. This method was purposed by Walter R. Borg and
Meredith Damian Gall 1983. As stated by Borg and Gall 1983 research and development is a process used to develop the educational product so that it can be
acceptable to use in teaching learning process at school p. 772. In this theory, Borg and Gall 1983 said that there are 10 stages of research and development
cycles. 1. Research and Information Collecting
The first step that the writer used was analyzing the learning needs about the material that the writer wanted to design and develop. The data could be taken
from the observation, interview, or questionnaire distribution. 2. Planning
After collecting some information, the writer did the next stage. The next stage would be the planning of the study. As stated by Borg and Gall 1983,
“Planning is the most important aspect in stating the objective to be achieved by the product.” p. 779
36 3. Develop preliminary of product
From this step of the research and development method, the writer listed and chose the learning techniques that would be suitable for the designed material.
In this stage, the writer chose and organized the content of the material. 4. Preliminary field testing
As stated by Borg and Gall 1983, the aim of the preliminary field testing is to find the evaluation of the designed product in the qualitative.
5. Main Product revision This stage was for the revision of the designed material. The result would
be in a qualitative research. It means that the writer analyzed the data and described it in a descriptive form. The evaluation of the deigned material would
be more focusing on the process of the research. 6. Main field test
In this stage, the writer should have the field test to test the design so the writer would know whether the designed material was suitable or not.
7. Operational product revision After conducting the test of the material, the writer did the revision to get
the design material ready to be used. 8. Operational field testing
After the writer did the revision the writer did the test one more time. 9. Final product revision
This stage will make the final revision for the designed material. The designed material will be completely ready to use.
