everything that related to the research were observed. As the data collector, all the data which had been found from observation, pre-cycle 1 test, final cycle 2 test, and questionaire
were collected. The last, as the data analyzer, the writer analyzed all of obtained data, and made the data became more readable and understandable by using some formula and
methods.
3.4 Type of Data
In this research, there were two kinds of data. The first one was quantitative data and the second was qualitative data. Pre-cycle 1 test, cycle 1 test, and final cycle 2 test were used as
the quantitative data, and for the qualitative data, the writer used motivation rubric as the main qualitative data. Field notes and questionnaire were also used to support the main data
and the result from the quantitative data.
3.5 Instrument for Collecting Data
The writer used four kinds of instruments to gather the data. Those four instruments were:
3.5.1 Motivation Rubric
In this research, the writer provided a simple motivation rubric to observe students’ behavior during the research. This data was also used to understand students’ motivation before and
after the treatment. The data for this instrument were collected from pre-cycle 1 to final cycle 2. In order to understand more about students’ motivation during the treatment, the
writer also provided other instruments as the supportive data for this research. The table for motivation rubric would be discussed in chapter IV.

3.5.2 Field Notes
Anderson and Arsenault 1998:136 described “field notes are the the writer’s detailed and descriptive record of the the writer’s experience, including observations, a reconstruction of
dialogue, personal reflections; a physical description of the setting, and decision made that alter or direct the research process.” It means that by using field notes, the writer can
enhance the quantitative record with some data from the qualitative record because field notes contain the record from the writer’s experience in teaching and learning process.
In this research, field notes were used to understand and record students’ behaviour during the lesson. The field notes were also used as the personal reflection to maintain and
improve the research for the better result. The content of the field notes was divided into six behaviour checklists which were
done in class VIII A SMPN 22 Semarang. Each checklist represented the students’ behaviour to be recorded as the supportive data for this research.
3.5.3 Tests
Tests were used as the supportive data in this research to measure students’ achievement before and after the treatment. However, three tests were used to measure students
understanding about what they had learned. The tests were pre-cycle 1 test, cycle 1 test, and final cycle 2 test. Pre-cycle 1 test was given before the writer did the treatment to the
students. Cycle 1 test was given at the end of cycle 1 to know the measurement between pre- cycle 1 test achievementbefore the treatment and cycle 1 test achievement after the first
treatment. It was also used as a reflective test to plan the next cycle. Final cycle 2 test was given after the students finished cycle 2 of the research. It was the last test to measure

teaching and learning result from the beginning until the end. To know the improvement before and after treatment, these three tests result were compared.
