Data Gathering Technique Data Analysis Procedure

D. Data Gathering Technique

The data gathering was conducted by the observation, interview and questionnaire in the progress of Extensive Reading II class. The data of the observation were gained when the researcher joined the class to see how the mind- mapping technique was implemented. The observation was done on 29 th of February, 21 st of March, and 12 th of April. The data from the questionnaire were collected when the researcher distributed the questionnaire to all participants and they completed all the answers and responses. This was held on the last meeting of ER II class, which was on 16 th May, 2008. The data of the interview were gained when the researcher had an interview with the lecturer and students. The interview was held twice. The first was conducted to gain information from the lecturer, which was on the 17 th of May 2008. The second was held on 16 th of May, 2008 with the six students who were chosen based on their response on the questionnaires.

E. Data Analysis Procedure

After all the information and the data were gathered, the researcher analyzed all of the data from the questionnaires in order to answer all the questions stated in the problem formulation in the Chapter 1. The first step in analyzing gathered data was analyzing the observation sheet See Appendix 1 in order to find out the implementation of mind-mapping technique in ER II Class. The analysis was in written paragraphs. This analysis also helped the writer find out some possible suggestions on the use of mind-mapping technique. The second step of data analysis was recording the result of questionnaire into numerical data See appendix 4. There were twenty statements and two questions of the questionnaires that are analyzed. The scoring was strongly disagree 1, disagree 2, uncertain 3, agree 4, and strongly agree 5. Each statement was counted in percentage. After that, the percentage of each response was counted for each questionnaire from each student. The writer put the raw data in the form of table. The researcher then counted the total score of responses in the questionnaire. From the total score, the researcher concluded the student’s perception on the use of mind-mapping technique. The third step in analyzing data was concluding the respondents’ perceptions from the data gathered from the observation, interview, and questionnaires. 29

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter discusses the findings and data analysis resulted from the research. This research was conducted to find out the implementation of mind- mapping technique in ER II class and students’ perception on the use of mind- mapping technique in ER II class.

A. The Implementation of Mind-mapping Technique in

Extensive Reading II The data were obtained through observation and interview with the lecturer. Observation was carried out to answer the first problem of this study, namely, how the mind-mapping technique is implemented in the ER II class of English Language Education Study Program. The observation was conducted when the student were making mind-map in class and outside class. In addition, interview with the lecturer of ER II was also needed to know the implementation of the mind-mapping technique.

1. The Implementation of Mind-mapping Technique Based on the

Observation The first observation was conducted on the fifth meeting in class A. This was the first time where the students used mind-mapping technique in their class. The students who decided to use mind-mapping were supposed to present their works in front of the class after they had prepared the topic and collected the reading passages during the first four meetings. Out of thirty-four students in
