Planning Phase Acting Phase

25 To make clear what happens in every phase. Here are the explanations:

1. Planning Phase

Planning involves thinking about what the researcher wants to improve, how he goes about it, and how he evaluates what he has done. In the following sections, the process of planning an action research study was organized into four steps. The first step involves formulating an initial research question by reflecting on puzzling student behaviors, pressing problems, or needs identified by his school district. The second step was „search for a new teaching strategy though his observation of students’, his dialog with other teachers, and his professional development activities. The third step requires a search of the educational literature for the purpose of further exploring new strategies and finding research evidence that supports their use in the classroom. Forth and finally he needs to consider what method of data collection he will need to evaluate the effectiveness of his teaching strategies. In this phase, the researcher also explains about what, why, when, where, by whom, and how the research was done. In the preparation stage of this research, the researcher determines the point or centre of events that need special attention to be observed, and then make an instrument analysis to help him recording the facts that occurred during these procedures.

2. Acting Phase

In this phase, both the writer and the teacher collaborate to carry out the planned action. The teacher used the determined strategy as he was teaching while the writer observes the class condition during teaching learning activity. Here, it begins the process of going more deeply into the issue being researched. Related to the condition of limited teaching learning period, that was why the writer and the teacher take the action phase during two weeks within two cycles in which each cycle consists of two meetings in action. The schedule was as follows: 26 Table 3.1 Schedule of Research No Activities Month and Week March April May 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 Interview X 2 Observation X X 3 Proposal X X X X X X 4 Instrument X 5 Cycle I X 6 Cycle II X 7 Report X
