36 discussion on June 18
th
of 2012 at K.10. K.10 is one of the classrooms in ELESP. The researcher chose the class as the place to conduct group discussion because it
has facilities of tables, chairs, wide space and air conditioner. All of the participants have implemented five basic teaching skills including reinforcement.
The researcher recorded the process of discussion in a video. It was to enable the researcher to make the transcription. Then, the transcription was presented and
analyzed in the next chapter.
E. Data Analysis Technique
In the next chapter, the researcher would report and analyze the data. Here, there is a brief explanation of the steps to proceed the analysis. The close-ended
part would be reported in the form of percentage and presented in a table. The researcher described the percentage into words as the interpretation. Firstly, the
researcher selected the questionnaires that would be analyzed. It was because the researcher avoided the data that were invalid. It means that there were double
answers or misunderstandings with the questions so it did not answer the research problems. This was one of the threats found in collecting the data. The close-
ended part provided Likert scale of agreement and disagreement to help Microteaching students respond to the written statement. Likert scale is a form of
ordinal scale to measure how perceptive a participant is toward a statement Ary, Lucy Christine, 2002. There are a lot of types of Likert scale. The researcher
chose four levels from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The scales were strongly disagree, disagree, agree and strongly agree.

___ x 100 n
The researcher reported the close-ended part of the questionnaire in form of numbers. The result of each statement needed to be calculated into percentage.
The researcher used a formula to know the score of each scale in a percentage form.
The formula is = the number of participants that choose same scale in each statement
n = total participants Each statement had four scales to be measured. Each scale used that formula to
show the students’ perception of the statement. The explanation of the percentage for each statement was in words. The last part in the questionnaire was open-
ended questions. The researcher transcribed it into a table of data for the need of analysis. The transcription was to enable the researcher to classify into some
points. The points were used to support the percentage number score of the close-ended part. Then, the complete data of raw open-ended data was put in the
appendix see Appendix C. For the FGD result, the researcher needed to transcribe the statement from
the participants to have a thorough understanding of Microteaching students’ perception about the implementation of the use of reinforcement skill. Then, it
would be used in the next chapter to strengthen the result of the questionnaire and perceive the students’ suggestions on the implementation of reinforcement skill to
find out what should be improved for the further development. The result of the score calculation of both questionnaire and transcription of FGD would help the
38 researcher in the discussion and data analysis to answer the research problems on
the use of reinforcement skill in Microteaching class.
