Interview Questionnaire Classroom Observation

3.5 Procedures of Data Analysis

Since there were four instruments of collecting the data, there were also four steps of data analysis. The analysis of each instrument is described as follows:

3.5.1 Interview

The data from interviewing the English teacher and the students was converted into written form. This data was paraphrased to make it easier to be understood. At the first interview, before running dictation technique was applied in teaching writing descriptive text, the teacher said that in the odd term descriptive text had not been taught yet; the students still learned simple present tense and past tense. It was all about introduction materials. The students‟ ability in writing was actually good enough, but sometimes when the teacher tried to dictate them some sentences, they did few mistakes while they rewrite it. Their mistakes are such as error in grammatical, punctuation, auxiliary, pronunciation, and vocabulary. The students were also easy to get bored when the teacher gave them assignments. That is why there should be another technique to motivate the students in writing. Then, at the second interview, after running dictation technique had been applied in teaching writing descriptive text, the teacher said that although it was the first time for the students to apply running dictation in teaching writing descriptive text, they were enthusiast because this technique was done in group work before they did individual assignments. Therefore, the teacher would try to use running dictation technique to teach her students in some subjects.

3.5.2 Questionnaire

The data was collected from the students‟ opinion about running dictation technique in teaching writing descriptive text. They had to answer “yes or no” to the given questions.

3.5.3 Classroom Observation

The main purpose of the classroom observation was to see whether or not the problem existed and monitor students‟ improvement in responding the material given in the learning activities. As stated in the explanation above, the first classroom observation was held before conducting the treatment. The data from this observation was in form of notes that would be analyzed to decide whether or not the class was proper enough to conduct teaching and learning writing descriptive text by using running dictation technique. The second classroom observation data in the previous cycle which was in the form of checklist data and some notes would also be analyzed to see if the action phase of the cycle conducted lack of something then later to decide better treatment in the next cycle.
