Observation Instruments and Data Gathering Techniques

26 this instrument. Ary et al 2010 say, “Field note is the most common method of recording the data collection during observation.” Marshall and Rossman 2006 as cited in Ary et al. 2010 state that field notes contained what the observer has seen and heard. In this study, the focus was on the students’ misbehaviors, the situations, and the teacher’s strategies in handling the misbehaviors. The researcher would observe the classroom four times or in other word four meetings. Two meetings were conducted in 2 PL 4 and two other meetings were conducted in 2 PL 2. The researcher recorded the process of learning and teaching process, while the researcher took note. The researcher wrote the students’ misbehavior that they did, the situation, and the teacher’s strategy to manage it in the format of taking notes.

2. Interview

Fatterman in Fraenkel and Wallen 1993 say, “Interview is the most important data gathering technique a qualitative research possesses.” In addition, Ary et al. 2010 say, “Interview is used to gather data from people about opinions, beliefs, and feelings about situations in their own word”. The researcher used interview to get the teacher’s opinions and feelings about classroom misbehaviors, the situations, and the teacher’s strategies in handling the misbehaviors. In this study, the researcher used an interview guide. According to Patton 2002 an interview guide is a list of the questions explored in the course of an interview. In this study, the interviewee was the English teacher who teaches in the second grade of Pangudi Luhur Yogyakarta Elementary School. The interview 27 was conducted after every process of learning and teaching was done. There were eight items of the interview list. The questionings covered the areas of the misbehaviors which found in English class, the classroom situations in which misbehaviors happen, and the teacher’s strategies in handling students’ misbehaviors. During the interview, the researcher recorded the interviews in order to avoid missing data, and the researcher also took notes to make sure that the researcher had collected and saved the data.

E. Data Analysis Technique

In this study, the researcher analyzed the data based on the theories of the types of misbehaviors Scientific World Journal, 2012. The researcher also refers to the theories of common classroom management areas by Harmer 1998, p.4, Scrivener 2005, p. 87 p. 93, Mekenzie 2006, Gower, Philips, and Walters 2008, p. 40, and Thornbury 2010. Qualitatively, according to Miles and Huberman 1994, the analysis of qualitative data includes data reduction, data display, and verification. The first step in analyzing the data is data reduction for example, writing summarize, coding, and teasing out themes Miles Huberman, 1994, p. 10. In this step, the researcher analyzed all the transcribed data. Firstly, the researcher transcribed the recording of the learning process, an then checked the data collected. Secondly, the researcher omitted the irrelevant data to result in relevant data to answer the research problems. All transcribed data collected from observations of the
