A. Research Type
The type of this research is Classroom Action Research CAR. This classroom action research is done collaboratively and participatory. Teacher
and researcher make a planning together, then the teacher acts as the party who did the action, while the researcher as an observer and take a note, then
analyzed the data that was obtained Suharsimi Arikunto, 2009: 17. There are some experts who proposed a classroom action research
model with a different chart, but generally there are four stages that have been through, namely: 1 Planning, 2 ActionImplementation, 3 Observation,
and 4 Reflection. This CAR used the design developed by Kemmis and Taggart that will be conducted in two cycles. Each cycles consists of four
stages, that are planning, action, observation, and reflection on the first cycle and will take the same phases at the second cycle. The design of Classroom
action research used in this research can be seen in Figure 1.
B. Research Place and Time
This research was conducted in SMK Negeri 1 Klaten which is located at Jl. Dr. Wahidin Sudiro Husodo No. 22 Klaten in March-April 2014.
