C. Research ParticipantsSubjects

The research participants were the students of the eighth grade, especially E class in SMP N 1 Yogyakarta. In this study, the researcher was not only as an observer but also the teacher of the class, so it helped the researcher to know the improvement of the students after experiencing the action better and deeper. The total number of the students were 34 students. In fact, 29 out of 34 students were counted as research subjects of the pre-test and the post-test. The other students could not become the subjects of this research because 2 out of 5 did not come at the pre-test so they were disqualified. Then 3 out of 5 did not do their post-test even though the researcher had always reminded them to do it. However, since 34 students experienced the action, they were asked to fill the questionnaires. None of them were left. All students were asked to share their experiences using the action. Furthermore, the participants of the interviewees were 6 students. In fact, one of the interviewees was doing his praying, so he did not join the interview session from the beginning but the researcher had made sure that the interviewee gave the detailed information about the action. The researcher chose them because the researcher felt that they were able to give their best information about the action. The summary of the interview can be seen in appendix 4.
