D. Steps of Conducting Action Research
1. Data Collection
The data of the research were collected using some techniques of quantitative and qualitative data collection which include: the scores of the written
tests, interview, observation, diary, and document analysis. Audio visual recording and photographs were also taken during the implementation of the research to
provide more accurate data. The data which were collected in this study consisted of the information gained in pre-research, the process, and the result of Action Research
implementation.
To know the level of the students’ learning motivation, the writer uses questionnaires. The results of questionnaires are changed into quantitative data by
using Likert Scale. To know the students’ listening proficiency, he takes from the tests that are carried out before and after the cycles are implemented.
2. Data analysis
There are two kinds of data, quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative data in numbers form are taken from the tests that are carried out before
and after the implementation of cycles. Meanwhile, qualitative data, in the form of words are taken from the result of observation done by the teacher while the actions
are being carried out.
liii During the process of Action Research, he collected the following group of
data: research diary, pre-research observation reports, field notes, record of research implementation, photographs of teaching learning process and research documents
which consist of: lesson plan, lesson tasks, questionnaires result, and list of students’ pre-test and post-test results.
The qualitative data are analyzed by using Constant Comparative Method as suggested by Strauss and Glasser in Moleong 2005: 288-289. They said that in
general, the data analysis process includes data reduction, data classified, data synthesis, and ended by action hypothesis. They are as follows:
1. Data Reduction a Unit identification. First of all, it is identified the smallest unit which is found
in the data. It must have closed relationship with the research problems. b Having got the unit, the next step is making codification. It means that we
have to code every unit in order to be known where the data come from. 2. Categorization
a Categorization Arrangement. It is aimed at choosing every unit which has the same characteristics.
b Every category must be labeled. 3. Synthesis
a To synthesize means that to look for relationship between one category to another.
liv b The related one category to another must be given a label again.
4. Stating ‘Action Hypothesis’ . The quantitative data are analyzed by comparing the means of the pre-test
and post-test to know the difference before and after the cycle.
CHAPTER IV THE RESULT OF THE STUDY
The aims of the research are to find out whether the use of Power Point improve students’ learning motivation. If it does, to what extent; and to identify
whether the use of Power Point improve students’ listening proficiency. If it does
to what extent. The findings are described in this chapter which is divided into two
sections. The first is the process of the research and the second is the findings. Each section will be described in section A and section B, respectively.
A. The Process of the Research
The research was conducted in SMAN I Girimarto. In conducting the research, the writer was assisted by an observer, who is also an English teacher
in SMAN I Girimarto. We are familiar with Action Research, and we have been working together in conducting Action Research for solving problems related to
students’ learning motivation and listening proficiency. After discussing about his study she was interested in the study since she also wanted to improve her
