8. Conducting a focus group interview FGI with participants
After all of steps in scaffolding learning were done, the researcher conduct
ed focus group interview to dig information about the participants’ experience, feeling, opinions, and other things related to their involvement in
learning writing process using scaffolding as an instructional strategy. The FGI result was then coded to support another data finding in answering the formulated
problems. The result of the FGI transcript coding is presented in Appendix 17.
9. Analyzing obtained data
After all of the research steps were done, it was the time to analyze the data by comparing the theories of scaffolding and writing to the data finding of the
research. In this research, the researcher used two techniques in analyzing the data, namely coding and triangulation. The data obtained from the students’ writing
product were then crosschecked with the result of observation checklist and the coded FGI result. Therefore, the researcher was able to see how scaffolding could
help the respondents improve their writing skill and to find out what advantages the students found, felt, and experienced during the learning process.
10. Drawing conclusions
After analyzing the data, the researcher drew conclusion from all of the research steps and result. This conclusion was used to see whether the research was
able to answer the formulated problems.

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
The chapter deals with the presentation and the analysis of the research findings. In details, the researcher discusses the answer along with its analysis of
the two research problems. However, in this chapter, the researcher also presents the findings and the analysis of pre-research activities that became the foundation
of conducting the research. Hence, this chapter consists of three sections. In the first section, the researcher presented the result of pre-research activity along with the
analysis. Next, the second section discusses the findings on the first and the second research question, namely to extent to which scaffolding as an instructional strategy
could help students learn writing and the advantages of using scaffolding in learning writing. Last, the third section discusses the analysis of the findings on both the
research questions.
A. Data Presentation
In this part, the researcher presents the findings from pre-research activities. Before conducting the research, the researcher conducted an interview with the
coordinator of English Club course, gave the students pre-scaffolding learning writing assignment and distributed pre-research questionnaire. These activities
were not conducted to answer the research problems. The findings from those three activities were used to be the foundation of the research design.
