What is a Design Research ?

Design research is a plan on how to collect and process data that can be implemented to achieve the research goals

Design research called research model is something that is very important, especially for analytic research study design affect the internal and external validity of a study would be stronger if the ideas are designed and prepared a very thorough and careful

Research needs caused when a study design without the design as well as sewn clothes without pictures or patrum the clothes will not be perfect to use as needed. for example, the general pattern of research like the ability to tailor combine pieces of fabric piece by piece, put his shirt buttons and trinkets, fabric cutting, sewing techniques would be perfect if at the time of cutting the tailor does not know how to measure, model and shape of the pattern to be done because the real research has 5 criteria the background so that needs to be designed as follows:

1. Relevance Data

2. objectivity

3. validity

4. reliability

5. Technical implementation of effective and efficient

Essence / functions optimization design of the study was to seek a balance between internal validity and external validity of a study. With the design of a research study that will be generated when a valid point there are similarities between the data collected with the actual data contained in the object of study as an illustration of research results is said to be valid when the object is round, while the data collected triangular.
With proper design, it can certainly be reliable results mean if there are similarities data in different time despite repeated over time. It does not say reliable when the object is round yesterday while results today or tomorrow triangular. getting the balance between internal and external validity requires proper planning to use the proper gauge also in the sense of research instrument must use valid and reliable data collection.

TOEFL

The TOEFL , formerly known as Test Of English as a Foreign Language, is a test of an individual's ability to use and understand American English in an academic setting designed and administered by Educational Testing Service (ETS) and TOEFL is a registered trademark of ETS. It was developed to address the problem of ensuring English language proficiency for non-native speakers wishing to study at U.S. universities. It has become an admission requirement for non-native English speakers at many English-speaking colleges and universities. Additionally, institutions such as government agencies, licensing bodies, businesses, or scholarship programs may require this test. A TOEFL score is valid for two years and then will no longer be officially reported.

Since 1998, the TOEFL test is conducted online using a computer (Computer-based Testing / CBT), and since 2005 called the iBT (Internet-based Test). In places that have not been able to implement CBT or iBT (because there are no computer facilities and internet network), the TOEFL exam is still conducted manually using paper and pencil (paper-based test or PBT).

The purpose TOEFL Test

TOEFL has two general objectives are Academic and General. In similar fashion, the certification on the TOEFL can be used for both.

Academic test is used for educational purposes, research or academic-related activities abroad, or in Indonesia. For post-graduate, usually a minimum value is 550. while S1 is 500

General is generally used for the purpose of employment, promotion or job assignment. Many companies that install standard English TOEFL employees to see the value - it. Generally, a minimum TOEFL score is 500 for promotion standards.

As far as I see, the range of average TOEFL score - the average Indonesian people with minimal education level S1 is very volatile. There are even some who do not know what and for what it is TOEFL (they read: "tufl"). Not so with the decision-English majors in college. At least they know what it is TOEFL. However, a TOEFL score or graduate student majoring in English does not guarantee high. In case recruiment several times, I found several applicants TOEFL scores of 300, whereas in the proposal, which is concerned alumni of the ABA (Foreign Language Academy).

While in general, fluctuations in the average TOEFL - prestudy ranged from 300 to 600.
