CHAPTER III METHODS OF INVESTIGATION
This chapter, I will explain the research design, procedure of developing material, procedure of validation, and technique in reporting the result of validation.
3.1 Research Design
In this sub chapter, I would present the research design I used in conducting my study. This researcher is a qualitative research in this case I used not only qualitative
research but also RD research design.
3.1.1 Qualitative Research
The result of Qualitative research is determined by the description analysis and interpretation. According to Merriam 2009:13 Qualitative researchers are interested
in understanding the meaning people have constructed, that is, how people make sense of their world and the experiences they have in the world.
Based on Parkinson Drislane, 2011:121 Qualitative research is research using methods such as participant observation or case studies which result in a
narrative, descriptive account of a setting or practice. Sociologists using these methods typically reject positivism and adopt a form of interpretive sociology.
Rossman and Rallis 2003:250 define Qualitative research as being empirical, natural, and focusing on people:
“Qualitative researchers seek answers to
their questions in the real world. They gather what they see, hear, and read from people and places and from events and activities
”. Based on Denzin Lincoln 1998:2:
“Qualitative research is many things to many people. Its essence is twofold: a commitment to some version of the naturalistic, interpretive approach to its
subject matter, and an ongoing critique of the politics and methods of positivism. Qualitative researchers stress the socially constructed nature of
reality, the intimate relationship between the researcher and what is studied, and
value laden nature inquiry”. In this final project I will seek the answer whether there is good the teaching
material for writing descriptive text by using teaching material or not. Then I also use it in the validation of teaching material.
The aim of the writer is to understand the students capacity in writing skill. In this reserach, the writer want to implemented and investigate when the students
learning about the descriptive text material. The writer choose this method because the writer argues that qualitative research is a good method for this research.
I used research and development design to describe how to develop teaching material. In this research, I would be able to investigate the students problems and
design the solution after learning material of descriptive text. Based on the research above Qualitative research will be presents data and the result in a descriptive form.
