3.3 Procedures of the Research
In this classroom action research, the researcher used the procedure of classroom action research designed by Arikunto. In Arikunto 2006: 16, the research
procedures in
a classroom
action research
consist of
planning, actingimplementing, observing, analyzing, and reflecting. So, the research was
designed as follows:
1. Planning
Based on the problem of the research, the researcher prepared the lesson plan and selected the appropriate material based on the school syllabus as the basis of
lesson plan. The researcher also prepared classroom observation note, interview
and also the reading test for the students. 2.
ActionImplementing
The teacher implemented the material by using Question Answer Relationship strategy while she taught reading. The teacher taught the material about how to
identify the questions types in order to find the main idea, specific information, inference and reference of the text. The teacher let the students practiced it. As an
observer, she observed the situation in the class while the teaching learning
process was running. 3.
Observing
The researcher observed the activities happened in the classroom in every cycle then wrote the result of the observation in the observation sheets. This step started
when teaching learning process was occurring.
4. Analysis and Reflecting
In this step, she analyzed the result of the reading test of the students as the learning product. She also analyzed everything that occured in the teaching
learning process based on the observation notes. It was done in order to find out the improvement after the teacher implemented QAR strategy in the classroom. In
analyzing, she did reflection to discover the weakness and strength of the implementation of Question Answer Relationship strategy, and also knew the
students’ problems in the implementation of Question Answer Relationship strategy during teaching and learning process. So, she knew what should be
improved for the next cycle. The process of the research is represented through the picture below:

The activity began by planning, and then the actionimplementing. During the action, the researcher observed the teaching learning process. At the end, the
researcher analyzed the result of activity.
