D. Research Instruments and Data Gathering Technique
There were two instruments which are used in this study. The first instrument was the documents. The documents which were used in this study
were the students’ written question sentences. There were 216 total questions made by the students. The data were gathered by the writer during a class activity.
During the activity, each student was asked to make 5 WH-questions about analytical exposition texts which were previously made by the students. After the
class activity, the questions were submitted along with the analytical exposition texts. The second instrument was human instrument. In this study, the researcher
became the human instrument by processing and analyzing the data in order to answer the research problems.
E. Data Analysis Technique
After the writer obtained the written documents of student’s work, the writer began to analyze it. The steps of analysis can be noted as follows.
First of all, the question sentence data were sorted by the writter. The writer analyzed each sentence in order to classify each question into categories
based on Bloom’s taxonomy. The grammatical errors occured on the data do not affect the classification process. It was because the classifications are determined
by the verb keywords which exist in every question. The classifications of the data were presented in a form of table. The table is as follows.
Level of Questions Examples of Questions
Total Number of Questions
Percentage Level 1
Remembering Level 2
Understanding Level 3
Applying Level 4
Analyzing Level 5
Evaluating Level 6
Creating Not interrogative
questions Total number of questions
Then the total questions of each classification was counted using a formula as follows.
The percentage of each classification = total questions in each level x 100 total number of questions
By looking at the percentage and detail analysis, the researcher found out students’ level of ability in producing question sentences.
Then how the students had responded to the questions was identified by analyzing the answer of each question. By doing this, the writer found out
whether the students had answered the questions properly or not. The classification of the data is presented in a form of table. The table is as follows:
Categories Total Number
of Questions Percentage
compatible question and answer Not compatible question and answer
The writer also counted the total of proper answer in percentage using a formula as follows.
The percentage of compatible answer = total answers in each categories x 100 total number of answers
