Validity and Reliability of the Data

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS

A Research Findings The researcher followed the procedure of the study which is adapted from the steps of Research and Development cycle in conducting the study. According to Borg and Gall 1983:775; there are ten major steps used in the Research and Development cycling including research and information collecting, planning, development of preliminary form of product, preliminary field testing, main product revision, main field testing, operational product revision, operational field testing, final product revision, dissemination and implementation. In order to simplify the steps of the Research and Development cycle proposed by Borg and Gall, the researcher adopted the ten major steps into eight steps. There are collecting research and information or need survey and need analysis, planning, writing the course grid, developing the materials, evaluating the first draft, trying out the materials, evaluating the second draft, and revising and writing the final draft of the materials developed. The findings of the study are organized into five sections. They are 1 presenting the results of the needs analysis, 2 writing the course grid 3 designing the materials, 4 evaluating and revising the first draft of the tasks and, 5 implementing, evaluating, and revising the second drafts of the materials.
