CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
A. Model of Product Development
This study is a Research and Development RD. The aim is to develop a video program for teaching listening skills in the elementary schools. As stated by
Borg 1983:772, the purpose of Research and Development RD is to develop
a product that can be used in an educational program.
B. Procedure of Product Development
The procedure used in this research was adapted from the RD model proposed by Dick and Carey in Gall, Gall and Borg 2003: 570. The steps were
constructing needs analysis, constructing instructional design, designing media, producing the media, assessing the media, revising the media, trying out the
media, evaluating the media, and developing the final media.
1. Conducting the Needs Analysis
The needs analysis was acquired from questionnaires, interview, and observation. Questionnaires were used to gain the data from the students.
Interview was used to gain the data from the teacher. Moreover, this observation was used to gain the data about teaching and learning process in listening class.
2. Constructing Instructional Design
In this step, the instructional design was formulated. Syllabus and lesson plan were made based on instructional design. Besides, lesson plan was also made
based on syllabus. The researcher collected the materials from many sources.

3. Designing the Media
This step was the point of designing video program for teaching of listening. There were 3 components of the video program such as song, video, and program.
There were some steps in designing media that researcher did here. Those are explained as follows.
a. Song
1 Making the lyric The lyrics were selected based on the materials. The title of the song was
chosen based on the lyrics. 2 Making the melody
The melodies were made based on the lyrics. The melody should be cheerful, ear catching, and interesting.
b. Video
1 Making the illustration of the pictures The next step was making the illustration. In this step, pictures and colors
were selected. The illustration of the pictures was designed using Corel X3 program.
c. Program
1 Planning the concept of video program The last step was planning the concept of video program. The contents of the
program were selected. There were materials, videos, listening tasks, and help in the program. The researcher tried to design the video program colorfully.

4. Producing the media
The next step was producing the media. Those are explained as follows. a. Recording
The song was recorded. Then, the music was mixed. b. Making the video
Here, the lyric, the song, and the picture were combined using movie maker. c. Making the program
Here, the program was designed using macro media flash. Furthermore, it was saved in micro SD.
5. Assessing the Media
To revise the video before being tried out, the assessment was needed. The media were assessed by English teachers of elementary schools and the thesis
consultant.
6. Revising the Media
The media were revised based on the analysis feedback given by teacher and thesis supervisor.
7. Trying Out the media
The media were used to teach listening to the third grade students of elementary schools.
8. Evaluating the Media
The evaluation of the media was based on the data from the questionnaires distributed to the students.
