Kurt Lewin Action Research Spiral Theory

The theory that had been chosen for this research is Kurt Lewin Action Research Spiral. This theory involves a spiral of steps, and each of which is composed of a circle of planning, action and fact-finding about the result of the action (Mertler, 2009). The Kurt Lewin Action Research Spiral can be seen in the diagram below.

The first step in this theory is to examine the idea carefully in the light of the means available. Frequently more fact-finding about the situation is required in order to get the accurate grasp regarding the result of the research. If this first period of planning is successful, two items will emerge which are namely, “an overall plan” of how to reach the objective and secondly, a decision in regard to the first step

The teacher will take time up to four weeks to teach the phoneme to the pupil by using the language games. The language games is chosen as a teaching aids because language games can be a fun and interactive ways of teaching. Pupils at the age of 8 years old tends to get bored easily if the teaching session did not manage to attract their attention. The use of language games in teaching phonic can be considered as killing two birds with one stone. Pupils needs something fun that manage to attract their attention and language games have both of this

During intervention, the teacher observe the participants reaction and make a checklist about it. This checklist will be analyse and interpret in the form of statements.

5.2.2 Audio Recording

Audio recording is a supplement of the written record of an interview. If necessary the recording can be transcribed after the interview. Transcribing the audio recording is a very long process. Audio recordings are also useful to collect large amounts of data when hand written notes are not enough.

Audio recordings are also useful in research to provide information beyond what can be conveyed through pictures and written text. Sounds can be used alongside other information and data collection methods to give more context and depth to written description or comments. For audio recording, the participants were given eight words and they need to pronounce the words correctly. After that, the teacher will transcribe the words according to what the participants had said in the audio
