CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A. Objective of Study
The objectives of the study are: a.
To get empirical data about formulated problem b.
To know whether there is any significant correlation between intelligence quotient and student‟s learning achievement in English.
B. Place and Time of Study
To collect data in writing this study, the writer used a field research at SMPIT Nurul Fikri, Jl. Lucky Abadi, no.61 Tugu, Cimanggis, Depok.
The writer asked permission to headmaster and English teacher in order to help the writer to fulfill data from school and students for the study.
Then the writer also talk to English teacher about students information especially in English learning achievement.
C. Method of Study
In supporting this study there are two methods, the writer conducted field research and library research through Pearson Correlation techniques.
First, the writer collects student‟s IQ and collects student‟s score latest
score from the report book. The writer takes the score from report student‟s score because the score gained from the test that combines from
whole aspects of learning English generally. The second method is library research. The writer collects data of total
students from school and also student‟s score from report book. Then, to find out the result, the writer conducted IQ score combined with student‟s
English score from report book.
D. Population and Sample
a. Population
The population of the study is the first year grade junior high school students of SMPIT Nurul Fikri.
b. Sample
This study is uses sampling technique to get the sample from the population, there are 142 students as the population of first year student of
SMPIT Nurul Fikri in academic year 2013-2014. The writer took 55 students as sample who followed IQ test that comes from 4 classes.
E. Technique of Data Collecting
To obtain this study as mentioned before the writer appllied field research. First, she was doing an observation, the location of the school of
SMPIT Nurul Fikri, she met the headmaster and met several teachers. Then the headmaster allowed her to see the English teacher, so she
collected student‟s score record from report book. The writer also met the curriculum staff to collect IQ records of the students.
F. Technique of Data Analysis
After collecting IQ records and student‟s report in English language, then she tried to analyze the student‟s IQ records and English score by
using Pearson Correlation. So, she correlates one variable to another variable on its correlation coefficient value.
Product moment correlation is one of technique that usually used to find out significant correlation between two variables. This technique was
published by Karl Pearson, it often called by Pearson‟s Product moment. The last step of this research methodology is analyzing the data. This
analysis is to see and to find out whether there is any significance correlation between students‟ IQ and their achievement in learning
