CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
This  chapter  consists  of  research  methodology  started  from  the  type  of  the study,  the  population  and  sample,  setting,  instruments  of  the  study,  data
collection, data analysis techniques and research procedures.
A. Type of the Study
The purpose of this study is to develop a product for students of International Mathematics Education that can be used as an English reading course book.  Borg
and Gall 1983 state that the term ‘product’ is not always about materials such as text books, videos but also the learning method and learning organization. Hence,
this study is categorized as Research and Development.  The purpose of research and development study is to develop effective products to be used in educational
programs.
B. Population and Sample of the Study
In  this  research,  the  population  is  the  students  of  International  Mathematics Education  study  program.  These  students  are  in  the  4
th
and  6
th
semesters  which consist of 37 students.
C. Setting of the Study
This  study  was  conducted  at  Yogyakarta  State  University,  Faculty  of Mathematics and  Science  from  April  up to  May  2015.  The  campus  is located in
