The Advantages and The Disadvantages of Teaching Simple Past Tense

players chance to share their ideas about simple past tense, so they will try to produce much as possible about their knowledge of simple past tense.

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

A. Research Design

In this research, the researcher used quantitative approach which is intended to see the students’ ability which was taught by usingmagic wheel game. Sugiyono states that generally research method is a scientific way to get data for certain purpose and target. 1 It means that experimental design is a research design that is used to find the influence of one variable to another. The researcher used quasi experimental research design. Quasi experimental design is a research design that includes assignment, but not random assignment of participants to groups. This is because the experimenter cannot artificially creat group for the experiment. 2 It means that the researcher cannot randomly assign students to experimental class and control class since the headmaster did not allow the researcher to create new class for the research. The design is illustrated as follows: Select experimental group Pretest Experimental Treatment Posttest Select control group Pretest No Treatment Posttest 1 Sugiyono, MetodePenelitianKuantitatifKualitatifdanR D , Cet.Keenam, Bandung: Alfabeta, 2008, p. 3. 2 John W.Creswell, Educational Resea rch: Planning and Conducting Quantitative and Qualitative Research, Boston: Pearson, 2012, p. 309.
