E. Data Gathering Techniques

There were three steps in gathering the data needed. First, the writer gathered some books which were relevant to the research. The books were on instructional material design, the theory of teaching and learning vocabulary, and the theory about Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan KTSP. Second, before developing the supplementary materials, the writer distributed questionnaires to the eleventh grade students of SMAN 1 Godean and three English teachers to obtain information about vocabulary teaching and learning in class. It was conducted on April, 5 th , 7 th , and 10 th 2010. Last, the writer conducted field testing by distributing questionnaires to two English teachers of SMAN 1 Godean and one PBI lecturer to gain opinion, suggestions, and recommendations toward the proposed vocabulary supplementary materials.

F. Data Analyzing Techniques

There were two important points discussed in the data analysis techniques. The analyses were conducted to know the participants’ needs and evaluation on the designed materials.

1. Participants’ Needs

The participants’ needs were gained from the questionnaires distributed to the eleventh grade students and three English teachers of SMAN 1 Godean. The data was about the vocabulary teaching and learning in class. It was treated as the basic consideration in designing the vocabulary supplementary materials for the eleventh grade students of SMAN 1 Godean. The questionnaires used were in the 39 form of open-ended questions. Due to that, the writer analyzed the data by description.

2. Evaluation on the Designed Materials

In this step, the writer gained the data about the evaluation of the proposed vocabulary supplementary materials. The writer distributed questionnaires to two English teachers and one PBI lecturer. The result of the product evaluation was used to revise the materials. The writer analyzed two kinds of data. The first was the descriptive data about the participants’ statements. This was concerned with closed questionnaires. In this type of questionnaires, the participants were supposed to give their views, judgments, or opinion in four agreements: 1 : strongly disagree with the statement 2 : disagree with the statement 3 : agree with the statement 4 : strongly agree with the statement In concluding the data gathered, the writer counted the number of the participants choosing number 1, 2, 3, and 4, which those numbers represented their statements of agreement. The table is presented as follows: Table 3.4 The participants’ opinion on the designed materials Blank No Participants’ Opinions N Statements 1 2 3 4 Note: N : Number of participants 40 In the first data of the Preliminary Field Testing, it was needed for the writer to give a description on how to categorize the results in order to judge whether the designed materials were acceptable or not. The writer would conclude the final result by adding the participants’ choices on number one and two for disagree statement and the participants’ choices on number three and four for agree statement. The designed materials were considered good and acceptable if the participants chose number three and four. The more participants choosing those points, the more acceptable the designed materials would be. Meanwhile, the designed materials needed crucial revisions if the participants chose the two lowest points, which were number one and two. The second data was concerned with open questionnaire. In this part, the participants had to write their own feedback, comment, and suggestion about the designed materials. The results of questionnaires would give contribution in revising and improving the materials. It was expected that the final constructed materials would be beneficial for teaching and learning vocabulary in contexts to eleventh grade students of SMAN 1 Godean.
