DATA ANALYSIS RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

49 by being diligent in coming to the class at least represents their good will to study. I also chose the students based on the study progress in class. They had finished with the mid-semester test at that time, so the lecturer could show me the students progress by the middle of the semester. From the students’ progress, it can be seen that the class had two ranges. They are good with steady progress and sufficient with unsteady progress. I noted d own four students’ names and their telephone numbers to contact. Before going on with the next step of data gathering, I still had the last criteria of choosing the participants. It is willingness. I needed the students’ willingness to actively involve in this study so that I could get rich data. Therefore, I contacted them one by one to ask about their willingness of being my research participants in this study. At last, it came up with only two students who were willing to be research participants. Fortunately, the two students already represented the two ranges showed in the classroom. These two students were Dipta and Martha. Dipta represented the range of students with sufficient and unsteady progress. Martha represented the ones with good and steady progress. By the time this research was conducted, they were enrolling vocabulary class as an elective course in the second semester. However, the in-depth interviews were conducted after they had finished with the vocabulary course in that semester so that the whole experiences, ideas, perceptions and beliefs could be gained. Further description about the participant’s profile and their lived experience in vocabulary web-based learning is as follows. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 50

1. Dipta’s Description

In this part, I present Dipta’s personal profile to have a closer look to his personality. It is important because someone’s background can influence the way one reacts and acts to certain phenomena. Dipta’s story about his lived experience in joining web-based vocabulary class is also presented in this part.

a. Dipta’s Profile

Dipta was twenty years old when he took part in this research. Dipta was originally from Yogyakarta. He lived in Bantul with his parents. He was the first child in the family and he had a younger sister. His father was from Bedono, Ambarawa and his mother was from Bantul. His father was the head of librarian in Sanata Dharma University. His mother was the vice headmaster in SMK Putra Tama. He described his parents as hardworking persons and he said that his parents were good real model for him. Dipta graduated from De Britto Senior High School before he decided to continue his study in Sanata Dharma University. He chose PBI in Sanata Dharma because he wanted to be a teacher. He realized that the occupation of being a teacher had more working opportunities than other occupations. Another reason of choosing PBI Sanata Dharma was because he thought that English was fun. His special interest about learning English is in speaking and listening. Dipta was such a sociable person. He was quite active in campus activities and often took part as a committee when campus held some events. When this study was being held, he was very busy preparing a play entitled Jaga Daru and he was one of the actors in the play. He also became one of the committee of English Action Day at that time.
