III. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

3.1 Research Design

It is a qualitative descriptive research. It means that the writer tried to describe the process of implementation of peer editing in the writing class and the students’ perception toward peer editing. Therefore, the writer used descriptive method in order that the data would be readable than countable. The use of the design was in line with Best 1981: 25 who says that descriptive research involves the description, recording, analysis, and interpretation of conditions that exist. Besides, descriptive research studies are non-experimental and only concerns with the events or conditions that have already occurred or existed Best, 1981: 106. To make the data more valid, the writer used three methods in the research, they are observation, interview, and questionnaire. The writer intended to make notes of situation in the teaching learning process and tried to figure out how the teacher implemented peer editing and the students’ response toward peer editing. Furthermore, the writer distributed questionnaire to the students to find out their perception toward peer editing. Next, the students were interviewed by using informal conversational interview. ✁

3.2 Subjects

The subjects of this study were the teacher and the second year students of SMPN 3 Pekalongan in odd semester of 20112012 academic years. The class chosen was VIII.1 which consisted of 30 students. There were several reasons why they were chosen as the subjects. The first reason was because the English teacher of second year students of SMPN 3 Pekalongan has already implemented peer editing in correcting the students work. But usually, the teacher only instructed the students to correct the students work in a sentences form. He had not tried to make the students worked in a text form. Therefore, the writer was interested to get the students’ perception in doing peer editing while editing a text of their friends. The second reason was because this school curriculum is based on KTSP which the students have to learn the four skills. Writing is one of the skills that to be mastered by the students. In learning writing, the students are taught by using text. A text to be mastered by the students is descriptive text. Based on the syllabus, the second grade students would learn descriptive text by the end of the first semester. Based on these reasons, the writer used class VIII.1 as the subject of this research.
