5. Questionnaire

Questionnaires was given to the students in order to get the data concerning with the research. The questionnaires given were open questionnaire since the researcher to get more data. Questionnaires was given to get the data concerning with speaking learning teaching process using Critical Debate Technique. In the research questionnaires were given four times that is in pre- observation- on Thursday, February 10 th 2011, three times after the learning teaching process using Critical Debate Technique exactly at the end of each cycle- on Monday, February 28 th 2011, on Monday, March 14 th 2011, and on Friday, April 8 th 2011.

F. Technique of Analyzing Data

After collecting the data, the next step done in this research was analyzing the data. The quantitative data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The researcher used mean as a technique to describe the description of speaking ability based on the average score of students. According to Sugiyono 2007: 49 mean is obtained by adding all the scores of the students divided by number of the students in the group. The formula is as follows: commit to user 65 ∑X M = ------- n Note: M = means ∑ X = the total score of the whole students n = the number of the students The qualitative data were analyzed by using the constant comparative method as suggested by Hopkins 1993: 149. The researcher described four stages of the constant comparative method: 1 comparing incidents applicable to each category; 2 integrating categories and their properties; 3 delimiting the theory; and 4 writing the theory. The following is brief description of each step: 1. Comparing incidents applicable to each category. This process was also similar to specify the nature and dimensions of the concepts arising from the data. The researcher expresses the result of the test. Observation, interview, document analysis, and questionnaires in the form of field note. The researcher took the appropriate information in order to answer the statement of the problem. 2. Integrating categories and their properties. In this step, the researcher made information categories based on the similar characteristics. 3. Delimiting the theory. In this step, the researcher determined sort of relationship among categories. commit to user 66 4. Writing the theory. Finally, the researcher developed her findings into sentences to be shared with others. At this stage, the researcher developed the theory based on the relationship among categories in order to express the phenomenon occurred. commit to user 67
