Table5. Technique of Collecting Data
The data collected in this research consisted of the information gained in pre- research, research implementation, and post-research.
F. The Technique of Analyzing the Data
Analyzing the product of writing process of students’ writing skill was considered improve if the score of each student in each cycle improved. The
researcher carried out post test individually at the end of each cycle. This was intended to know whether the cycle was successful or not. Thus, the students’
individual score was computed by using simple formula: Gained score X 100
Max. score
To analyze the quantitative data the researcher used descriptive statistics by comparing the following dimension, namely; highest, lowest score and
means. The researcher used Inter Rater technique to score the students’ work. After Analyzing the score of students’ writing test, the researcher used statistical

technique. To know the result of the research, the researcher used the formula proposed by Purwanto 1985:38 by comparing the mean score.
The researcher calculates the score by using the following formula:
N X
M
å
= Where:
M : Mean
å
X : Total score N : Number of students
If the mean score result increased, the students writing skill was considered improved and could solve the students’ problem in writing
To analyze the qualitative data the researcher analyzed the improvement of teaching and learning process by using constant comparative method. Strauss
and Glasser 1980: 104 states that Constant Comparative Method is more likely to be applied in the same study to any kind of qualitative information including
observation, interview, documents, articles, books and so forth. There are four stages of Constant Comparative Method which was designed by Strauss and
Glasser namely: 1 Comparing incidents applicable to each category, 2 Integrating categories and their properties, 3 delimiting theory, and 4 writing
the theory. Moleong 2007:288 stated that Constant Comparative Method is used to analyze data by comparing one data and another. The following is a brief
steps of Constants Comparative Method on Strauss and Glasser.

Step 1: Collecting information unit from questionnaire, interview and observation related to the research
Step 2: Categorizing the information unit based on their sameness characteristics Step 3: Deciding the relationship among the categories
Step 4: Developing or making a theory based on the relationship among the categories
