The Technique of Analyzing Data

commit to user b. Interview Interview was done twice, before and after the research. The researcher interviewed three students to get information about the students’ writing competence before doing the research. She also interviewed the English teacher to get her opinions about after doing the research. c. Questioner The questionnaires are several questions expected to be answered by the participants in order to collect the data. The participants are quite free to answer the question. In this research, they were used to know the students’ felling, perception and opinions to the English teaching activities after implementation of using Edublog in writing class.

G. The Technique of Analyzing Data

After collecting the data, the next step of the research was analyzing the data. The data were analyzed by qualitative and quantitative data analysis. 1. Qualitative The data of pre-research observation, interviews, and questioners were analyzed by qualitative method. Analyzing qualitative data usually involves coding the data to get some quantifiable means to test some hypotheses. Glaser and Strauss combine coding with analysis to help locate and build grounded theory. In qualitative method, the data are coded to generate categories and hypotheses. Glaser and Strauss in Lincoln Guba 1895: 339 describe the constant comparative method as follows: a. Comparing incidents applicable to each category Comparing all the incidents which can be applied to each category begins by coding the data into as many categories as possible. The researcher will generate some categories, some from the language and data of the research situation. The researcher will refine their ideas about that category as they find more incidents of the same category code. commit to user b. Integrating categories and their properties Integrating categories and their properties means that the constant comparative method will begin to evolve from comparing incidents to focusing on essential properties of the category. Diverse properties will start to become integrated. The resulting theory will begin to emerge by itself. Eventually, the theory is strengthened and there are fewer changes to the theory as the researcher compares more incidents. Later modifications include taking out irrelevant properties of the categories, integrating details of properties into an outline of interrelated categories. c. Delimiting the theory More importantly, the researcher will begin to find ways to delimit the theory with a set of higher level concepts. New categories are often created halfway through coding, and it usually isnt necessary to go back and code for them. The researcher only needs to fulfill the properties of the category. Later the researcher can evaluate categories and emergent theory by moving on to new comparison groups. According to Glaser Strauss 1967: 113, when the researcher is convinced that his analytic framework forms a systematic substantive theory, that it is reasonably accurate statement of the matters studied, and that it is couched in a form that others going into the same field could use -- then he can publish his results with confidence. d. Writing the theory. The researchers write hisher theory based on all the analysis. This methodology tends to result in a developmental theory, which lends itself to further evolution. It is an inductive rather than deductive approach. 2. Quantitative Data In analyzing the test result of the written test, a simple statistical technique was used to find the students’ mean score. The data from the test were analyzed in order to prove whether or not teaching writing using video can improve students’ writing skill. In this research, the students’ mean score of the post test 1 was compared to the students’ mean score of the post test 2 to know commit to user whether there was an improvement of the students’ writing skill. The formulas used to compute the mean scores are: ∑ ∑ In which: X = mean of post test 1 scores Y = mean of post test 2 scores N = the number of sample commit to user
