3.3.1.3 Formative test
Formative test is a test which is evaluating students in the process of forming their competencies and skills with the goal of helping them to continue that growth
process Brown, 2004: 6. In this study, the writer conducted the formative tests in the end of cycle 1 and cycle 2. The test sheet could be seen in appendix 10 and
11
3.3.1.4 Post-test
Post-t est was conducted to measure the students‘ achievement after the
treatments. The test was the same as the pre-test and formative tests. Result of the post-test was analyzed to see to what extent single slot substitution drills develop
the students‘ mastery in simple present tense. The test sheet could be seen in
appendix 12
3.3.2 Questionnaire
The next instrument was questionnaire. Questionnaires deal with the number of questions that should be answered by the students. According to Tuckman 1978:
197, ―questionnaires are a way of getting data about persons by asking them rather than watching them behave or by sampling a bit of their behavior.
―Questionnaire is a number of written questions to get information from respondent Arikunto, 2006: 151. Questionnaire was used to find information
about the students‘ reflection toward the learning process by using single slot substitution drills
. The questionnaire that was used was based on students‘ need,
interest, like, and dislike about teaching and learning process by using single slot substitution drills. Da
ta from questionnaire was used to indicate the students‘ problem and to know the effect of the action research activities to the students.
The questionnaire sheet could be seen in appendix 13
3.4 Procedures of Collecting Data
In this action research, I held some multiple choice item tests to know the progress of
the students‘ mastery in simple present tense. The tests included pre-test, cycle 1 test, cycle 2 test, and post-test. At the first time, I gave pre-test to the students.
Pre-test was a test which is held before the students were given treatment by using single slot substitution drills. The purpose of the pre-test was to know how well
the students‘ mastery in simple present tense. I also give students a pre- questionnaire. In this case, pre-questionnaire was used to get the information
about the previous students‘ interest and motivation in simple present tense before they had been given the treatment.
In cycle 1, I concerned on gaining students interest in simple present tense by using single slot substitution drills. Moreover, I also used this technique
to help students understanding the form of simple present tense. Then, the test of cycle 1 was given, I asked the students to do an exercise consists of 30 multiple
choice items. In cycle 2, I also use single slot substitution drills in teaching simple
present tense. Then, I gave a cycle 2 test consists of 30 multiple choice items to check the students‘ progress. In the last meeting, post-test was given. Post-test
