a. Video Tape Recording
According to Best 1970, “Recording observation minimizes the errors of the result from faulty memory” p. 183. The researcher used the video tape
recordings to review the implementation of the jigsaw technique. It helped the researcher to analyze the data.
Best 1970 explains “the nature of an act may be more accurately analyzed when the action is slowed down, lapse photography, or
the audio and video tape recorder has fac ilitated the analysis of complex activities” p. 182.
b. Students’ Participation Checklist
The researcher used a students’ participation checklist to know individual students’ participation in the classroom. The researcher invited two observers to
fill th e students’ participation checklist when the researcher implemented the
j igsaw technique. The students’ participation checklist consisted of 30 students’
name and six aspects of the students’ participation in the teaching and learning
process. They were 1 reading the text loudly 2 asking question related to the text to friends 3 sharing the content of the text to friends 4 retelling the content
of the text to friends 5 answering questions in the worksheet 6 asking question related to the materials to the teacher. The researcher gave each student a call card
which consisted of student’s number and name in order to make easy in observing each student’s participation. The sample of students’ participation checklist was
presented as follows:
