CHAPTER IV THE RESEARCH PROCESSES AND FINDINGS
This chapter presents the process of the research and its findings. There will be three sections in this chapter. The first section presents the reconnaissance stage.
The second one reports the implementation of the actions and discussion. The third section presents the scores of the students’ writing skills during the teaching and
learning process.
A. Reconnaissance
In this step, some activities to find the field problems were conducted. First, an observation in order to know the teaching and learning process of class
VIIID of SMPN 1 Rembang was conducted. And then, the English teacher and the students were interviewed to get some information about the current
condition of the teaching and learning process including the weaknesses and suggestions made to make the teaching and learning process better. Finally, the
researcher also distributed questionnaires to the students about the students’
learning style preference to give extra information and strengthen the findings of the problem, so the actions that were about to be implemented would be
suitable for the students.
1. Identification of the Field Problems
The findings of the problem were based on the observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The actions were done on December 24
th
2013. The result of the observation can be seen in the vignette on Page 5 in Chapter 1.
Before doing the observation, the researcher interviewed the teacher first to know the general condition of the teaching and learning process,
including the problems faced in the meantime. The day after, the researcher conducted the observation. After doing the observation, the researcher
distributed questionnaires to the students related to their learning style preferences. It was to support the identification of the problems found. After
the data were collected, the researcher discussed the actions that would be implemented with the English teacher. Based on the observation, interview,
discussion and questionnaires, there were several problems identified during the teaching and learning process. The field problems can be seen
the following table.
