Type of the Research

Those techniques are explained as follows: a. Observation Observation enabled the researcher to describe subjects’ activities in the classroom at a particular time. The researcher observed the teaching and learning process before, during, and after the actions in the classroom. The purpose of the observation was to gain some data about the effect of PWIM implementation to the students. b. Interview Interview was used to get information from the students and the teacher about the teaching and learning process. It was also conducted to discover problems during the teaching and learning of English. The researcher interviewed both the teacher and the students to collect the most complete data about how they see problems that happened in the class and the effects of using PWIM in the classrooms. c. Conducting Writing Tests Writing tests were conducted to measure the students’ improvement in writing. There were a pre-test to know the students’ writing ability before the implementation of the actions and a post test to find their writing development after the actions. The assessment was based on the writing rubric that consisted of content, organization, grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics. 3. Instruments The researcher used some research instruments in conducting the research. The instruments for collecting data are presented as the following. a. Interview guidelines The interviews guidelines contained some questions related to the data that the researcher wanted to get. This instrument was used when the researcher conducted the interview with both the teacher and the students. The answers of the question were stated in the interview transcript. They covered any information related to English teaching and learning process at SMP N 3 Mlati. At the end, any information in the interview transcripts was used to get some conclusions whether the use of Picture Word Inductive Model PWIM could improve the students’ writing ability or not. b. Observation checklists Observation checklists were used to make sure whether the researcher conducted research as what it had planned or not by giving tick mark on the aspects that being observed. c. Writing tests Writing tests included pretest and posttest. Both the pretest and posttest showed the students’ mean scores. The researcher compared the scores taken within the pretest and those taken within the posttest to make the conclusion.
