VIII grade class at SMP Ash-Sholihin, Kebon Jeruk. The lesson planning also described teaching procedures, media, and resources in every cycle.
2. Acting Phase
The second phase, the writer carried out the planned action. It starts the process of learning the issue being researched. In this phase, the writer
conducted learning teaching process. Related with the allocation time, the writer took the action phase for a month within two cycles. Every cycle
contains two meetings, which is listed in schedule of research in appendices.
3. Observing Phase
In observing phase, the writer observed the process of classroom action research of learning reading narrative text by using jigsaw
technique. When observing, the writer noticed and noted all of the activities in the classroom. It wa
s regarded on class situation, students’ response, and also the teacher’s performance. In this phase, the writer also
collected the data from post- test and the result of students’ activity.
4. Reflecting Phase
This phase is aimed to reflect the completely done action based upon the data that have been collected, and then it is necessary to hold
evaluation for completing the next cycle. This phase is carried out after the writer has finished the action, then they realize and find about the problem
appeared when the plan has been implemented. In this case, if there still might have found problems and the criteria that decided have not reached
yet, the writer has to prepare and arrange for the next cycle.
G. The Technique of Collecting the Data
There are two types of collecting data: qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative, field note the description of students’ activity, teacher’s
performance in the classroom and interview to be given for the teacher. In collecting the quantitative data, the writer uses pre-test and post-test. The
explanation is follows: a.
Observation In this case, the writer used the unstructured or opened observation
directly in the classroom and got the description about students’
activity in learning process and the teacher’s performance. The
result of observation can be seen in appendixes. b.
Interview The writer did the interview twice: pre interview, and post
interview. The writer interviewed the teacher before applying classroom action research. It is to know the general description
about process of learning reading, to know the students’ difficulties in reading, and to know the method or any strategies usually
implemented by the teacher in teaching reading pre interview. The writer also interviewed the teacher to know his reaction toward
the suggestion of jigsaw technique after classroom action research post interview. The result of interview can be seen in appendixes.
c. Test
The writer used test to get the data result about process of learning reading comprehension. The tests were pre-test, post-test 1, post-
test 2. The form of the test was an essay test. The pre-test was given before implementing jigsaw technique. It was to evaluate
their skill on reading comprehension at first. On the other hand, the post-test was implemented after using jigsaw technique. The test
was held on the end meeting in each cycle.
H. The Technique of Data Analysis
The analysis qualitative data that used in this study was the observation of the students’ activities during teaching learning process,
and the interview before and after Classroom Action Research CAR. In this case, the writer collected all data that have gained. To analyze the
statistical data, the writer put on the average of students’ reading score per
action in one cycle; it used the formula as follows:
M : Mean ∑ X : the amount of students’ score
N : number of students
The next, the writer got the class percentages that pass the KKM considering English subject score 55 fifty five in each cycle. In addition,
the writer identified whether or not there might have students’
improvement on reading comprehension from pre-test, post-test 1, and post-test 2. The formula used to know the class percentage, as follows:
P: the class percentage f: frequency are being found
N: number of students
M = ∑ X
N
P =
� �
x 100
