CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY
This chapter provides a more detailed explanation of the methodology which was implemented in this research to find answers to the problems stated in
the first chapter. The chapter consists of six parts, namely research method, research setting, research participants, instruments and data gathering technique,
data analysis technique, and research procedure.
A. Research Method
In this study, the researcher applied Research and Development RD as method to answer two questions in problem formulation, which are 1 how to
design the over-sized Snake-Ladder game to introduce English vocabulary to support the development of multiple intelligences among kindergarten students,
2 how the design of the over-sized Snake-Ladder game. According to Borg and Gall 1983, RD is a process used to develop and
validate educational products p. 772. It called RD cycle Borg Gall, 1983. The researcher focused on two 2 important aspects of RD namely the
development and validation of an educational product. The product itself means both material objects, such as textbooks and instructional films, as well as
immaterial objects, i.e. the method of teaching and the method to organize instruction Borg and Gall, 1983. In this study, the product referred to an over-
