a. make Jazz Chants of middle body;
b. preparing lesson plan; and
c. preparing hand-outs and media for teaching.
2. Acting
In this acting phase, I do teaching again. The activities are: a.
get young learners‟ practising the previous Jazz Chant; b.
introduce another Jazz Chant; c.
get young learners practicing Jazz Chants; d.
get young learners practicing Jazz Chants in pair and front of the class; and e.
get young learners simple game and questions. 3.
Observing In the observing phase, I observe all of activities, young learners‟ participation
and attention towards the learning process. I also observe the effects of the actions I do. The observation is also helped by Mrs Ani, the English teacher.
4. Reflecting
In this phase, I give cycle-two test as the evaluation of the learning process. In this phase, I also do evaluation on the activities that ran before.
3.1.3 Post-test
Post-test is the last activity in this research. The instruction in this post-test is to fill the boxes with appropriate answers. The aim of giving post-test is to see the
final improvement of young learners‟ mastery of body parts vocabulary.
3.2 Subject of the Study
The subjects of this study were the students of fifth graders of SDN Sekaran 02 in the academic year of 20142015. There are 22 students in this class, 11 males and
11 females. They were qualified for the study because of the considerations below:
1 the material I take for this research is matched with the materials given in
fifth grade; 2
fifth grade is already taught English, in most of elementary school, English is taught starts from third to sixth grade;
3 the location of this class is separated with the others class, so when the
students singing Jazz Chants they are not bothering the other class; and 4
the characteristic of fifth grade is enjoy with fun learning, especially singing.
3.3 Role of the Researcher
In this research, I had three roles. Those were as a student-teacher-researcher, a data collector, and a data analyst.
“ɑ student-teacher-researcher is a guest in a school and classroom,” Phillips and Carr, 2010: 35. It is an undergraduate student of education program
who is engaged in a professional teacher‟s class in order to conduct a research in a classroom. In this case I am an undergraduate student of English Department. In
doing this research, I was assisted by observers; they are Mrs Sulastri and Mrs Ani as teacher of fifth graders and English teacher.
I also had role as a data collector who collected all the data needed for this research from the beginning until the end. The data are young learners‟ test
results, questionnaire, and observation sheet. Besides that, I also acted as a data analyst in this research. After doing this research, I analyze the data collected to
meet the objective of the research.
3.4 Data of the Research
The data I will need in this research are students‟ mastery of body parts vocabulary and their attitude toward the learning. Hence, the data of this research
comprised of two types. They were qualitative and quantitative data. According to Philips and Carr 2010:32, “action research is often categorized as a qualitative
methodology, even though qualitative data may be included. In this case, action research often mixes method.”
3.4.1 Qualitative Data
ɑccording to ɒurns 2010:106, “qualitative data are those that are analysed without numbers.” Qualitative data comprised of the students‟ attitude during the
teaching and learning process, classroom situation, and students‟ responsesfeedback. “Qualitative data were needed to help support and better
understand results first broug ht to light through quantitative analyses,” Phillips
and Carr, 2010:31. The students‟ attitude during the teaching and learning process was obtained by using observation sheets. The students feeling and
opinion toward the use of Jazz Chants to improve their mastery of body parts vocabularies were analyzed through questionnaire.
3.4.2 Quantitative Data
“ɑny numerical data collected in the research was accounted as quantitative data,” Phillips and Carr, 2010:26. The quantitative data in this research was obtained
from pre-test, cycle-one test, cycle-two test, and post-test score to measure young learners‟ ability before and after the treatments. The results of pre-test and post-
test would be compared to find out any improvement in the young learners‟ mastery of body parts vocabulary.
3.5 Instruments for Collecting Data
3.5.1 Method of Collecting the Qualitative Data
There are two ways in collecting the qualitative data. They are; 3.5.1.1
Observation Sheets Observation sheet is a document used in making recordings for the purpose of
analysis. The students behavioural in this research were recorded through the Observation sheets.
3.5.1.2 Questionnaire
Questionnaire is a set of printed or written questions with a choice of answers, used as a means of collecting data. Questionnaire is used to obtain young learners‟
ideas, opinions, or personal experience due to this research.
3.5.2 Method of Collecting the Quantitative Data
The quantitative data in this research was the results of tests which measure young learners‟ knowledge. There are four kinds of tests, which are pre-test, cycle one
test, cycle two test, and post-test. All of them are in the form of matching test. The descriptions of the tests were elaborated as follows:
