3. Observing Phase
During the teaching learning process, all activities occurred in the class such as:
the students’ activity, the students’ participation, the students’ attention, the students’ response and the class situation will be observed by
using the form that has been prepared before. Meanwhile, the real teacher will also observe the class activities by filling up the field note and the structured
observation sheet. Besides, it will also be collected the data which is gotten from the posttest given to the students.
4. Reflecting Phase
After finishing the action phase, it will be accomplished a reflection about the activity in the action phase by analyzing all data including: pretest,
posttest, and observation. It was all done in order to know whether songs are effective to be used as the medium of retaining the eighth grade Tirmidzi
students’ memory on irregular verb. If the first cycle is unsuccessful yet, it will be designed a new planning to be used in the next cycle. The planning is
also made to solve the unfinished problem in the first cycle.
H. Technique of Data Collecting
In this Classroom Action Research CAR, it will be used both qualitative and quantitative technique to collect data. The qualitative data consists of observation and
interview. Meanwhile the quantitative data is by using pretest and posttest. The following is the explanation:
1. Observation
The whole teaching learning process will be observed during this phase. The activities that are observed including: the way the teacher explains
the material and the students’ response to the teacher’s explanation. In addition, the observation was done to know the general image of the condition
of the class, so appropriate lesson plan for this Classroom Action Research CAR could be designed appropriately.
2. Interview
There are two kinds of interview which is done in this research: Pre interview and post interview. Pre interview will be done before implementing
CAR. In this pre interview, some questions about students’ difficulties in
learning grammar especially memorizing irregular verb will be asked to the real teacher. Besides that, it will also be questioned about the method and
technique which usually used by the teacher in teaching irregular verb to her students. The interview will also be given to the students in order to know
their general condition in learning English in the classroom. Besides, the interview will also be done to know their difficulties in Learning Grammar,
especially irregular verb. The Post interview will be done after implementing CAR to know the teacher
and the students’ response toward the idea of using song as the medium of retaining students
’ memory on irregular verb.
3. Test
There are two kinds of test which support this CAR; pretest and posttest. Pretest is done before implementing CAR. It is to measure how well
students’ memory on irregular verb is. Posttest, on the other hand, is done after
using songs as the medium of retaining students’ memory on irregular verb. In this research, both pretest and posttest are presented in the form of
multiple choices.
I. Technique of Data Analysis
In this research, there are two kinds of data which had been collected. Those are qualitative and quantitative data:
1. Qualitative data are data about the information which give a detailed
description of the whole research including the students’ activity,
attention, motivation, their enthusiasm during the teaching learning process, and their responses toward the idea of using songs as the medium
of retaining their memory on irregular verb. Those are gotten by doing some observation and interview. In this research, it will be used
descriptive analysis to analyze this qualitative data. In other words, the observation of students’ activities during teaching learning process and
the interview before and after Classroom Action Research CAR will be analyzed by using technique of descriptive analysis.
2. Quantitative data are data which are presented in the form of numerical
data. This research is considered as a successful research when students are able to memorize the common-used irregular verb without looking at
the list of irregular verb. The increasing of their achievement can be shown with increasing score which is gotten by students from pretest to
post test in the second cycle. There are three techniques to be used in analyzing the numerical data, and those will be explained as follow:
a. To find out the average of students’ irregular verb score within pre-
test and post-test of every cycle, it will be used the following formula:
_ X : mean
x : individual score n : number of students
_ ∑x
X = ── N
b. The formula that is used to seek the class percentage which could
pass the KKM score 70 is:
P : the class percentage F : total percentage score
N : number of students c.
The improvement of students’ score will be analyzed through their score from pre-test up to post-test score in cycle 1 and cycle 2 by
using the formula:
P : percentage of students’ improvement y : pre-test result
y1 : post-test 1
F P = ── X 100
N
y1 - y P = ─── X 100
y
y2 - y P = ─── X 100
y
P : percentage of students’ improvement y : pre-test result
y2 : post-test 2
