The Techniques of Analyzing the Data

F. The Techniques of Analyzing the Data

Data was analyzed in the research are qualitative data and quantitative data. After the data have been collected, the researcher analyzed it. The data is sourced from observation sheet, field noted and evaluation sheet. The researcher analyzed it to obtain the valid result of the research. So, to analyze the data, it could be done in two steps, as follows.

1. Analyzing the Qualitative Data The qualitative data is obtained from the observation sheet and filed noted. The

data is analyzed by the researcher base on some phases, as follows. a) Reduction of the data The researcher evaluated and classified the data based on the information from the observation and must be organized according to the statement of the research. In this step, the researcher categorized and reduced the unuseful data taken from the observation sheet and field noted.

b) Explanation of the data All of the data that had been organized must be classified to get the meaning in the table, graphic or narration forms.

c) Conclusion The researcher made the explanation of the data and concluded about the data in the statement of formula form. Especially for observation sheet the researcher needed to analyze and evaluate the data through a formula as Tuckman in Nurgiyantoro (2001: 287) writes:

PD (%) =

x 100

in which: PD

: refers to percentage degree. F : refers to frequency of the researcher’s and the students’ activities have been already done.

TA : refers to the whole activities of the researcher and the students. 100

: refers to the constant and maximal number of percentage. The researcher calculated the percentage for each of the data to guarantee whether the teaching-learning process is successful as designed by the researcher in the lesson plan. Furthermore, Nurgiyantoro (2001:399) asserts that the researcher’s activities are classified in the following scale (%).

0%-39 : the degree of teaching level is fail. 40%-59%

: the degree of teaching level is less. 60%-74%

: the degree of teaching level is enough. 75%-84%

: the degree of teaching level is good. 85%-100% : the degree of teaching level is very good.

While the students’ activities are classified to the following scale (%). 0% - 39%

: the degree of the students’ activities level is fail.

40% - 59% : the degree of the students’ activities level is less. 60% - 74% : the degree of the students’ activities level is enough. 75% - 84% : the degree of the students’ activities level is good. 85% - 100% : the degree of the students’ activities level is very good.

2. Analyzing the Quantitative Data Quantitative data is necessary to analyze for knowing whether the students’

ability in mastering vocabulary through reading skill has been increased or not. The quantitative data is obtained from the evaluation sheet. The evaluation sheet will be analyzed and evaluated by scoring the right answer 1 (one), and the wrong

0 (zero) as suggested by depdiknas in Kurikulum SMP 2004 Pedoman Khusus Pengembangan Sillabus (2004:15) as follows:

Which: the amount of students’ right answer B :

N : the total numbers of question (the total number of questions of the research are 10)

The data was analyzed based on the formula As Nurgiyantoro (2001:399) states that percentage degree of ability as follows.

After getting the value, the researcher classified the value according to the degree of ability such as presented below:

0 - 39 is classified as fail.

40 - 59 is classified as less.

60 - 74 is classified as enough.
