F. Technique of Analysing Data
To analyse the quantitative data, the researcher applied a descriptive statistics, comprising the highest and lowest, and finding the means. To measure
students’ understanding of the text, the researcher used the percentage correlation formulas as follows:
Where:
S
= the students’ mastery in
R
= the students’ right answer
N
= the maximum number of the whole answer
SM
= standard Mark 100 To determine the level of the students’ reading comprehension, the
researcher used the system of score category Arikunto, 1998: 38 as follows:
Percentage Interpretation
81 – 100 Very good
61 – 80 Good
41 – 60 Fair
21 – 40 Poor
1 – 20 Very poor

After analysing the scores of the written test, the researcher compared the mean of the pre-test and post test score result by using the formula:
the mean for pre-test the mean for post test
Where:
X
= mean the score S
X,
S
Y
= the total score
n
= number of students
To analyse the qualitative data, the researcher applied Constant Comparative Method as suggested by Glasser 1980 as quoted by Suparno 2008:
76. The method consists of four steps: 1 Comparing incidents applicable to each category; 2 Integrating categories and their properties; 3 Delimiting the theory;
and 4 Writing the theory. The following is a brief description of each step:
1. Comparing incidents applicable to each category.
In this step all incidents occurred in the data will be coded into as many as categories as possible.
2. Integrating categories and their properties.
The researcher will begin to note the relationship among the concept. For these relationships to emerge, however, it will be necessary for the researcher to
have noticed all the concepts.

3. Delimiting the theory.
It refers to the theory and category reduction from the result of two previous steps. As the patterns of relationship among concepts become clearer, the
researcher ignores some of the concept initially noted but evidently irrelevant to the inquiry. When the numbers of categories are reduced, the theory itself
becomes simpler. 4.
Writing the theory. This is the final step that the researcher is making the final judgment of his
findings and putting it into words to be shared with other people.
