According to Ary, Jacobs, and Razvieh 1990: 127-132, mean is the average point that was counted by adding all points and divided by the number of the
questions. The median is the middle point of the odd ordered data from the smallest point into the biggest one. The mode is the point that frequently appears in the data.
Here is the formulation of mean:
X =
∑X N
X = the meanaverage point
∑ X = the sum of N
= the total number of the participants In the questionnaires distributed to the English teachers of SMK Pius X and the
lecturers of English Language Education, the data about teacher’s opinions and comments about the designed materials were presented. The data for the open-ended

Table 3: The Assessment of the Mean
0-1 : The designed materials were poorly designed. 1,1-2 : The designed materials were fairly designed.
2,1-3 : The designed materials were fairly good designed. 3,1-4 : The designed materials were good but need some revisions.
4,1-5 : The designed materials were well designed and acceptable.
