D. Data Gathering Techniques
Triangulation data was used here to support the trustworthiness of this study. The triangulation data is done by combining and cross checking the data
from the in-depth interviews, observation, and questionnaire Patton 2002. For that there were three data gathering techniques in this study.
The first data were taken from observing the teachers‟actions and activities on
conducting the lesson study; on planning the lesson study, implementing the lesson study plan and reflecting the lesson. Patton 2002 argues that by having
direct observation, the researcher have chance to learn things that people would be unwilling to talk about in the interview. It also gives us opportunity to
understand and capture the context with in which people interact. Field notes were used to record the activities of what and how the teachers do, behave and
saycomment during the planning the lesson, implementing the lesson plan and reflecting activity.
The second data was taken by interviewing two participants of the lesson study group. Both of them had more than 20 years teaching experiences. One of
them was a junior high school English teacher supervisor, Mrs. Yunda. She had more than a year experience as a junior high school supervisor. The second
interviewee had different experience compared with others, Mrs. Dinda. She was the model teacher who implemented a lesson plan in a school where she did not
teach. Both of the interviewees experienced as the observers during the implementation of the lesson study in live classrooms. The interview with Mrs.
Yunda was done after one cycle lesson study. The interview with Mrs. Dinda was done after the second cycle of the lesson study. Each interview was done in
different place and time. Notes were taken during the interview. The interview was also tape
– recorded with a device, tape-recorder, to maintain the effectiveness and efficiency.
The third data were taken from two classes of grade 7 junior high school students in Sleman by giving them questionnaire. The questionnaires were
distributed to all students in each class of grade 7 in a junior high school in Sleman regency after they had a lesson which was taught by a model teacher of
the Lesson Study group. The students were asked to give their answer by giving a cycle or cross to the answer of each variable. Each questionnaire consisted of 30
statements or questions related to components which ideally should be in teaching and learning process based on the indicators in table 2.1. The answers were in five
points of rating scale fr om “poor” to “excellent”. The students in the first cycle of
the lesson study had questionnaire twice. The first questionnaire was given after the lesson conducted by Mrs. Nanda with 37 respondents. It was on Wednesday
on April 2012. The second questionnaire was given after the lesson conducted by Mrs. Dinda with 35 respondents in the following day. It took 25 minutes for the
