30 Mn = Mean is the indicator of the central tendency.
Med= Median is the middle point. Md = Mode is the score that occurs most frequently in a set of scores. The
formulas of the mean formulated as follow:
= Mean
= Sum X = Score
N = Number of respondents N = Number for the statements to calculate the final result mean
The result of the table showed that SPD class was really helpful for the students in building their good character as teacher candidates. The final result of
the mean was 3.52 which mean that most of the ELESP students agree SPD class build their good character. It was almost close to option four; “Strongly agree”.
There were no students who chose disagree.
B. The Analysis of the Graphic Representation of Frequency Distribution
This part displayed the graphic representation of frequency distribution. The data has been calculated on the Table 4.1. The researcher put the final result
of the mean into the graphic representation of frequency distribution. The researcher used Bar Graph because this research also used qualitative research.
Bar graph was used to display the distribution of values of qualitative variable and called the distribution of bar graphs Cooper and Shore, 2010. P.9. The

31 researcher could see the different levels of each number from this graphic. There were thirty-five numbers on the close-ended form
which included the statements. Those statements become the basic data needed by the researcher.

32 In this simple bar graph, achievement levels of each number of the
statements in the close form in questionnaire are being compared. The left vertical axis represents the numbers of means which has been calculated in
Table 4.1, and the right horizontal axis represents the number of the statements. Bar graph above explains:
1 The red bars are the lowest bars.
2 The pink bars are the low bars.
3 The blue bars are the average or medium bars.
4 The green bars are the high bars.
The list of degree of agreement mentioned before was Strongly Disagree
1, Disagree 2, Agree 3, and Strongly Agree 4. It means that: -
The lower achievements of number 10 and 11 did not mean that the students disagreed about the contribution of ELESP students while
working in a group. All of them agreed that they always gave good contribution and be responsible on it. It was really helpful in building
their good character. -
The pink bars signified that the response was not too high. The numbers which fell in this group were 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 13.
- The blue bars were average. It was not too low or high. The numbers
falling in this group were 5, 7, 8, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, and 34.
- The green bars were the highest achievement of the statements. The
included numbers were 30 and 35. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
33 Thus, all of the research participants in this research agreed that Service
Program Design Service Program Design SPD class improve their good character. The achievement level of the statements in this graphic representation
of frequency distribution showed that the students agreed that Service Program Design was really helpful to build their good character.
