Review Journal

Hello everyone ..

On this occasion I am still discussing international journals that I discussed earlier. What is the title? The title is Picture Word Induuctive Model: Its Effectiveness to Teach Writing Viewed from Students' interests by Rahayu Meliasari, Ngadiso and Sri Marmanto.

Before we discussed the Literature Rivew section. So this opportunity will continue. The next part is Method of Research. Let's see... ^_^

3. Method of Research

The main view of quantitative studies is that researchers advance the relationship between variables and propose this in terms of questions or hypotheses (Philips and Burbules, 2000). Regarding the focus of this study, researchers used experimental studies. In this study, researchers used a 2x2 factorial design for efficiency, with a multifactor analysis of variance (ANOVA) technique. This is the simplest form of factorial design. Gall, Gall, & Borg (2007) suggest that the expression 2 x 2 means that two variations of one factor (A1 and A2) and two variations of other factors (B1 and B2) are manipulated at the same time. Cohen, Manion, and Marrison (2007) suggested a similar idea that factorial design is useful for testing the effects of interactions.

In this study using a post-test only design, the two groups of subjects were first assigned to different treatments or control conditions. The experimental group will be taught using Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM), while the control group will be taught using Controlled Writing Strategy (CWS). At the end of treatment, the experimental and control groups will be given a post-test in the form of a written test. With the ultimate goal will find out how the influence of PWIM in the task given.

And the subject of this study was handled using cluster random sampling. There were two classes officially registered in this study, which consisted of 26 students from each class. Data were obtained from writing tests and questionnaires. The form of the test is an essay. To test writing skills, there are five main components that need to be considered, namely content, organization, vocabulary, grammar, and communication. Regarding the data from the questionnaire, it was categorized into four categories adapted from the Likert Scale: strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree to express the level of interest of students. By using a questionnaire, researchers will classify students into only two: high levels of interest and low levels of interest.

About data analysis, carried out using descriptive and inferential analysis. First and foremost, the data were analyzed using descriptive analysis to find out the mean, mean, mode, standard deviation, histogram, and polygon of the students' written values. Meanwhile, the use of inferential statistics is to test the research hypothesis. Before carrying out further analysis of 2x2 ANOVA, the authors used a prerequisite test, in which tests for normality and homogeneity were assigned previously. As a result of ANOVA revealed that there was interaction; Therefore, the analysis was continued by using the Tukey HSD Test.

That is the method of research in this journal research.

Next opportunity I will discuss the part after this.

See you soon ... ^ _ ^
