Furthermore, Alwasilah 2011 states that action research is very qualitative seen from the research problems and research purposes. There are
three steps in analyzing the data. Those are data reduction, data display, and conclusion Miles and Huberman, 1984 as cited in Alwasilah, 2011.
a. Data Reduction
Data reduction is a process of selecting data that are relevant to the research questions Alwasilah, 2011. Reduction is done for the data that are not
necessary. It is to make the analysis easier. In this study, the data of students who do not follow the whole process of scanning technique treatments are reduced.
b. Data Display
The result of data analysis is displayed in form of table and graph to show the result briefly and clearly. It is explained descriptively. Alwasilah 2011 states
that descriptive technique is chosen because the data acquired in this study are qualitaive non numeric, not quantitative numeric and need to be given the
interpretation.
c. Conclusion
The last step after displaying the result of the research is making conclusion related to research questions. The conclusion is going to be described
in chapter 5.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter provides conclusions and suggestions. Conclusions in this research are judgments made through the process of discussing and interpreting
the finding of the research. Suggestions in this research offer several things for teachers or other researchers who want to conduct the research on the same issue.
5.1 Conclusions
The questions of this study dealt with the use of scanning technique and students’ attitude toward it in improving students’ comprehension of report text.
Based on findings and discussion of the research, the students’ score improved from one meeting to another. The students’ average score in the first meeting of
cycle one was 75 and 79 in the last meeting. Furthermore, the improvement also w
as indicated in the cycle two. Students’ average score in the first and last meeting improved from 83,1 to be 83,9.
In addition, the teacher got “above average” score in cycle one and “ excellent” score in cycle two for her
performance. It indicated that the teacher improved her teaching by using scanning technique.
Moreover, the students’ questionnaire result showed that most students responded the questionnaire “agree” and “strongly agree” in using
scanning technique. The data of students’ answer reported as follows: 77 students chose the option “agree” and 23 students chose “strongly agree” for the
question “i am interested in using scanning technique to learn reading”. Based on
those findings, it can be concluded that the use of scanning technique improved students’ reading comprehension of report text. Furthermore, the students’
response toward scanning technique was very good.
