CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter discusses the research design and method, the place and time of the research, the population and sample of the research, the data collection
technique, the content of the intervention, the data analysis technique, and the statistical hypotheses.
A. The Place and Time of The Research
The research was held in SMA Mathla‟ul Huda which is located on Jl. Raya Mohammad Toha No.10, Parung Panjang Bogor 16360. This research was carried
out for three weeks, start from January 13
th
, 2015 to February 3
th
, 2015 in the even semester 20142015.
B. Method and Design of Research
The researcher used experimental method in this study and its design used A Quasi Experiment Design specifically. It is because the interactions of selection
with other factors are possibilities.
1
The purpose of quasi experimental is quite same with true experimental, but this design is usually used in educational
research where the setting is in school or classroom.
2
Moreover, the subjects in quasi experimental design also not assigned randomly like in true experimental
design, but there are experiment class and controlled class that given the different treatment.
3
Therefore, in this research, the researcher did not assign the subject randomly, but she gave the same assignment with different treatment for two
classes; experiment class and controlled class.
Moreover, the researcher implemented Collaborative Strategic Reading CSR
technique in the first class and Grammar Translation Method GTM is implemented in the second class. This study focuses on giving treatment to

experimental class by applying Collaborative Strategic Reading CSR in teaching reading, and then the research observed the result through classroom observation
and test pre-test and post-test in order to know whether or not Collaborative Strategic Reading CSR is effective on
students‟ reading comprehension achievement on narrative text.
C. The Population and Sample of The Research
The population of this research was the first grade students of SMA Mathla‟ul
Huda Parung Panjang-Bogor. There are only two classes of the first grade, therefore the technique of sampling that used by the writer is quota sampling.
Quota sampling is a non probability sampling technique that is used when the researcher was unable to take a probability sample but is still able to select
subjects oon the basis of characteristics of the population.
4
In this research, the population were 70 first grade students in two classes. The writer took X.I as the experimental class that has 35 students and X.II as the
controlled class that has 35 students. X.I was chosen as the experimental class
because it had lower mean score in pre-test than X.II; X.I was 54.67 and X.II was 57.16 The experimental class was taught reading comprehension through
Collaborative Strategic Reading CSR technique, while the other was taught through Grammar Translation Method GTM. The teaching and learning process
was carried out for four meetings. In the last, the writer only got 30
students‟ data as sample in each class. This condition happened because there were some students who did not come in each
meeting, either in pre-test, treatment, or post-test. Hence, the writer decided to take only 30 students as sample in each class based on their attendance.
D.
Instrument
The instrument of this study was a test of English which consists of 30 multiple choice questions about narrative texts taken from some books of English
