CHAPTER III METHOD OF INVESTIGATION
This chapter deals with the method of investigation done by the researcher. It consists of the research design, the subjects of the study, the research instrument, the stage of
media development, and the data analysis technique.
3.1 Research Design
Since the aim of this research is to develop student’s worksheet of narrative text using
Team Game Tournament, the researcher used qualitative approach and RnD research and development research design. Those are explained as follows:
3.1.1 Qualitative Approach
The approach used in this study is qualitative approach. The way this approach presents the analysis of the study is that by describing or in descriptive way. It is
different from quantitative approach which uses number to present the analysis of the research data.
The reason why the researcher uses this approach is that because this research isn’t only connected with the research variable, but also all the social condition. It is
in line with Sugiyono 2009: 285 that states: In view of qualitative research, the holistic phenomenon thorough, cannot be
separated, so that the qualitative researchers will not be set the research based solely on the study variables, but overall social status under study covering
aspects of the place, actors and activities that interact synergistically.
In order to collect reliable and factual data, the questionnaire, interview and observation were conducted. By doing so, the researcher would be able to analyze the
problem and develop the proper design of student’s worksheet. Those were done to create a valid product of student’s worksheet to teach reading.
3.1.2 Research and Development RnD
The method used in this research is educational research and development RnD. Based on Borg and Gall 1983:772, educational research and development is a
process used to develop and validate educational products. Sugiyono 2009: 407 also stated that educational research and development is a research method which is used
to produce particular products, and examine the effectiveness of the products. The products here can be in all fields where the study is conducted and in a various types
of product; for example, in education, the product of this research and development can be in form of curriculum for a particular educational level, teaching method,
teaching media, textbook, evaluation system, worksheet, etc. This study used RnD design since the objective of the study was to develop
student’s worksheet of narrative text for reading. The product was in form of hardware and the material inside was designed to meet the solution of the problem
analyzed from the research instrument that had been done before. The competencies provided on the product were adopted from the standard competence and basic
competence in the KTSP curriculum.
