in fact, refl ecting on a researcher‟s data in combination qualitative and
quantitative with doing the action research is essential in action research. From the statement above, the writer decieded to use two kinds of data in
this research: qualitative and quantitative data. Both types of data were used in this research to prepare the research and produce a trustworthy result. They were
designed to meet the research‟s objective.
3.3.1 Qualitative Data
Qualitative data are those that are analyzed without using numbers Burns, 2010: 106. The qualitative data in this research were done by giving students
questionnaire and having an observation then would be analyzed and interpreted.
3.3.2 Quantitative Data
Quantitative data are data relate to number which can be measured. Burns 2010: 118 states
that “quantitative data analysis means presenting your data in numerical form.
Quantitative data can have a very important place in the way we discover things and present our findings.”The quantitative data of this research were the results of
doing some tests which were try-out, pre-test, and post-test.

Instrument for Collecting Data
The instruments which used in this research were observation checklist, questionnaire, and tests including try-out, pre-test, and post-test.
3.4.1 Observation Checklist
According to Phillips and Carr2010: 77, to collect necessary data, there are three methods that an action researcher could use: observation, interview, and artifacts.
Observation meant that the researcher had to critically and deliberately watch as a
participant in the classroom.
Observation checklist was used to know the students‟ activities, responses, and attention during the teaching learning process and also to record what happen
in the class during the teaching learning process. Burns 2010:57 mentions that “as teachers we are so used to being in classrooms we don‟t always really „see‟
what is interesting, unexpected, unusual or just plain routine, even when we think we are „looking‟”.
In this research observation checklist also used by the researcher to know the students‟ activity in teaching and learning process. The observation sheet was
prepared in a form of table which was filled out by giving sign of checklist .
3.4.2 Questionnaire
Questionnaire was another instrument to collect the qualitative data. Questionnaire was a list of statements to be responded by the students to get
information. It was used to record the students‟ opinions about the use of word
clap game for teaching vocabulary in junior high school. It was a feedback from the students after getting the treatments.
