Research Design Data Collection

39 ∑y : Total score of students outcome ∑xy : Total number of x multiple by y x² : Guarded from x y² : guarded from y To examine the reliability of the instrument this study use the formula AlphaCronbach: nS²- ∑Si² α = ___________ n-1 S² Note : α : alpha coefficient n : amount of respondent S² : variants total of score Sі² : variants of item. 2. Technique in Data analysis This study used Pearson analysis in analyzing the data, then for the purpose of testing hypothesis, this study also analyzed: a. Normality test Normality test is to find out whether the data distributed normally or not. To measure normality test following procedures are done: 1. observation Xı, X 2 , … Xn be zı, z 2 ,… z n. 2. each this raw numbers using the standard normal distribution list, then calculated the odd F zi = P z zi 3. then calculated the proportion of z1, z2…zn smaller or equal to zi by S zi then S zi = number of z1, z2…zn smaller zi equal to the amount of data shared. 4. compute the difference F zi – S zi and then specify the absolute price. 5. Take the price of the greater of the absolute difference in prices them. In the study, coefficient used is 0.05, while visual learning style got 0.074 and parents attention gained 0.533, also students achievement 40 had 0.214. The theree numbers 0.074,0.533, 0.214 are more than coefficients, that means the variables used has normal distribution b. Homogenity test Homogenity test is performed to determine the homogenity of population data, when the data is homogeneous then the regression technique is used for the research, the test is performed by classifying the research data based on data analyzed, they are X 1, X 2, and Y. then it use to test the homogeneity of variance formula Barlett. This study used the formula one way analysis of variances one-way ANOVA. c. Hypotesis: Hypothesis is a statement that function as a prediction about the result, the hypothesis guided the researcher to gather the data are: Ho : data get from homogene population Ha : data is not from homogene population 1. Test criterion: P- value sig. α 0.05, Ho acceptable P-value sig. α 0.05, Ho rejected 2. Significance If F statistic F table then it is not significant There is no difference between sample group. If F statistic F table then it is significant There is difference between sample group. c. Analysis correlation coefficient r Analysis of the correlation coefficient r is an analysis method that aimed to determine strong or not that relationship between the variables X and variable Y. The formula is: ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ The formula of R² determination coefficient 41 KP = R² x 100 2 Note : r : score of coefficient correlation n : total of respondent X : independent variable Y : dependent variable With assumption if: r : -1 or close to -1, then the relationship between two variables expressed negative or very weak. r: 0 or close to 0, then the relationship between these two variables is very weak or no relationship at all. r: +1 or close to 1,then the relationship between the two variables tested is positive and very strong. Table 3.1 Guidance to Interpret Correlation Coefficient Interval Coefficient Correlation Level 0,00 —0,199 Lowest 0,20 —0,399 Low 0,40 —0,599 Middle 0,60 —0,799 Strong 0,80 —1,000 Strongest D. Hypothesis This study is intended to prove the correlation among learning style, parents attention, and students achievement in English. Independent variable one is Visual learning style and independent variable two is parents’ attention, while the dependent 2 Ibid, p. 182. 42 variable is student achievement in English. in non directional hypothesis, it is predicted there is relationship for variables. The hypotheses in this thesis are: 1. There is correlation between visual learning style to student achievement in English. 2. There is correlation between parent s’ attention to student achievement in English 3. There is correlation between visual learning style and parents’ attention to student achievement in English. E. Population Sample As the population, there are 6 schools in branch 3. The schools are 4 public schools and 2 private schools. The writer took public school. The reason why the writer takes public school are that:  Students are middle low family, they mostly spend their time with their grandparents at home.  Parents are mostly worker, they become less attention to their children.  The third branches located nearest to Capital city, it used to belong to South Jakarta. The people life style is more to urban areas.  Since it is urban area, the needs of good mark is highly wanted, whether for school or parents.  Since parents work, students study alone at home, they potentially use their ability by themselves. The population is 184 students from four schools, while this study uses ramdom sampling that means every school is taken 22 students for sample, that will collect 88 students for the sample.

F. Place And Time of Reseach  Place

The research was located in Branch 3 Ciputat Timur, Tangerang Selatan, Banten. The schools are: SDN Cempaka Putih 1, SDN 43 Cempaka Putih II, SDN Cempaka Putih III, and SDN Cempaka Putih IV.  Time The research was conducted from May to June 2012. 38

CHAPTER IV FINDING AND DISCUSSION

This chapter focuses on the findings and the discussions of the study. The findings discus some findings in the study that gathers from questionnaire while discussion talks about discussion about that finding and some assumptions according that finding. A. Finding On this part will talk about the interpretation of X 1 , X 2 and Y. Total statistical description can be seen in the table below: Table 4.1 Descriptive Statistics Mean Std. Deviation N Student’s achievement 74.4545 9.21507 88 Visual’s learning style 59.0114 10.59114 88 Parent’s attention 97.8750 19.41016 88 The Table 4.1 above, it is known that Mean is the middle line between the numbers. The Mean for visual learning style is 59.01, that mean visual learning style has middle path 59.01, this number has middle in Likert Scale, while Mean for parents attention is 97.87. this mean that parents attention has good in the Likert Scale, The Mean for student’s achievement is 74.45 that mean student achievement has middle in Scale Likert. While standard deviation for visual learning style is 10.59, while for parents attention is 19.41, in student’s achievement is 9.21. 1. Pre-requisite Analysis a Normality Test for X 1 and X 2 and Y To measure the normality, the writer use formula of Pearson Product Moment:
