CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

This chapter present about background, problem statement, objective of

the study, research significance and research scope.

A. Background

There were some supported components that can lead to successful education.

There are teachers, students, curriculum, facilities and infrastructure. One of the

components is teacher. Pullias, Young, and Weinstein (as cited in Daud, 2006)

argued that a teacher have some roles, there are as a teacher, as an educator, as

adviser and supervisor, and also as a student model. Teacher’s responsibilities are

not only come and teach the students, but also educate, supervise, facilitate, and

become a good model for their student. Furthermore it is explained by Syaodih (as

cited in Mudri, 2010) that teacher has important roles in planning and implementing

of teaching and learning process.

The good quality in teaching is needed in order to get a good quality of

students at the end of the teaching process. To achieve good quality in teaching, a

prospective teacher needs to have special knowledge and competencies to complete

their work in teaching. Before starting their profession, they must be taught with

special training. There are many ways that can be done to create professional

1

Page 22: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

2

teacher for instance Practicum, Microteaching, and Teaching Practice program. In

this research the researcher will focus on microteaching as a new subject in

Makassar Muhammadiyah University.

According to Sudjoko (2001), Microteaching is chance to be a teacher in

environmental class. Student teacher will try to be a teacher from the preparation,

learning process and evaluation. The goal of this chance is to prepare, develop and

improve the quality of graduate student teachers who meet the standards of

professional competence. Knight (as cited in Hasibuan et.al, 2010) argued that

trough Microteaching students will be trained in some basic skills, which are: Skill

in the opening and closing lessons, asking skills, delivering material, skills in using

a variety of learning, giving feedback, managing class, discuss development and

skills in using the media.

To make good quality teacher candidates, one way is to take microteaching

class. Microteaching is an opportunity to become a teacher in an environmental

class. Microteaching is the imitation of the real class, it helps the teacher candidates

simulate teaching learning activities like in a real class. The students will try to be

a teacher from preparation, learning process, and evaluation. The purpose of this

opportunity is to prepare, develop, and improve the quality of postgraduate teachers

who meet professional competency standards.

The purpose of the present research is to find out the students perception

toward the microteaching subject in supporting the students' teaching skill.

Students' perceptions need to know on the basis that students are objects of the

learning process. Based on the explanation above, the researcher was interested in

Page 25: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter present about previous related research finding, theoretical and

conceptual framework.

A. Previous Related Research Findings

There are several studies related to this research; it is done by Manis (1973).

Manis found that microteaching was useful for preparing prospective teachers in

leading their true teaching. Lau (2014) in her journal investigated the relationship

between perception of microteaching and their teaching skill in learning. He found

that students perception related to students teaching skills because the students

tought that if prospective students want to practice teaching they must practice

teaching first. The findings indicated that most of the students perception of

microteaching were correlated significantly with students teaching skill because in

microteaching the microteaching instructur taught all methods in the microteaching

courses.

Wambugu (2014) in her journal, investigated the students’ perceptions toward

teaching practice assessment. The result showed that the students’ perception

towards teaching practice assessment were favorable, because they argued that

students’ attitudes toward teaching practice and microteaching instructur important

in determining the extent to which the trainees get involved in the teaching process.

Darwis (2016) investigated the microteaching impact on students’ performance.

5

Page 26: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

6

The result of this study show that some students’ and teachers’ opinion stated the

microteaching lead the students to be more conscious to develop their classroom

behavior. Through the microteaching sessions, they hope the students are able to

organize their classroom.

Setiawan (2014) do research about students perception toward the effectiveness

of microteaching class support the teaching skill. He found that microteaching is an

effective way to increase students ability in teaching. It is proven that in this study,

students who are doing microteaching, will given a some basic skills, they are : skill

in opening and closing lessons, asking skill, delivering material, skill in using a

variety of learning, giving feedback, managing class, and practicing interact with

teachers in the school. So in this study showed that microteaching is very effective

to help prospective teachers.

Zarina (2010) revealed that the findings is related to a research done by Haziah

(2003) whereby most of the respondents agreed that their attitude towards teaching

changed after taking microteaching course. The respondents agreed that after taking

microteaching course, they are more interested in teaching and became more

confident. Her research clearly indicated that microteaching prepared the students

for their teaching practice especially in building self-confidence when teaching.

This is especially true since a teacher needs to appear confident and comfortable to

attract the students to learn and participate in classroom. Given a suitable time and

chances, these skills can successfully be learned in microteaching

class.Microteaching provides the students with the elements of “preparation,

application, feedback, evaluation, modification and reapplication”. All these are

Page 27: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

7

important parts of microteaching which enable the students to improve their

teaching skills.

From some of the related studies above, the researchers conclude that

microteaching is a program that really helps students to practice teaching before

they do the real teaching. Microteaching has important aspects for prospective

teachers before they have experiences in teaching. There are many ways that can be

done to create professional teacher. In this research the researcher will focus on

investigating microteaching as a course in supporting the students’ teaching skill at

FKIP Unismuh Makassar.

B. Some Pertinent Ideas

1. The Concept of Teaching Skills.

a. The Definition of Teaching Skill.

A professional teacher should have teaching skills and responsibility to transfer

the knowledge, develop the knowledge itself, and develop the technology. It relates

to the act of Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia number 14 year 2005 Chapter IV

Verse 10 on teacher and lecturer, a professional teacher should have basic

competences as requirements to be a teacher.

Teaching skill is required to the teacher in order to be able to teach students

appropriately. Wragg (2005) sees teaching skills as strategies that teacher’s use

which facilitate pupils’ learning. He also argued that the skill should be capable of

being repeated. It means that teaching skill is not a skill that is used for one time

but it is used repeatedly. Studies of teaching skills have typically focused on how

Page 28: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

8

such skills are developed and displayed by beginning teachers and how student

teachers differ from experienced teachers.

b. Kinds of Teaching Skill

Kyriacou (2007) argued that there are three factors in teaching skills. The first

is knowledge which consists of the teacher’s knowledge on a subject, students,

curriculum, teaching method, and also the knowledge of teaching skills itself. The

second is decision-making which consists of thinking and decision-making before

the class, during the class, the end of the class, and how the best way to achieve the

educational goal. The third is actions which consist of teacher’s effort to support

students learning process.

According to Widyawati (2010) a teacher should have the teaching skill such

as delivering the material to the student appropriately. Furthermore teacher should

have pedagogical competence such as teaching method, classroom management,

technology using, evaluating technique then reflecting in teaching learning process.

There are some kinds of teaching skill according to British Council (2011).

First, Learning technologies which is defined as an ability to integrate technology

in teaching learning process to improve the learning quality. According to

Kurniawan (2011), learning technologies is needed to deliver the material, to

improve students’ understanding, and to motivate the students. Pearson (2012) said

that Learning technologies refers to the instrument that can be used to support

teaching learning process and also assessing such as: computer, laptop, internet,

audio, screen, and projector. This skill is veryuseful for the teacher to make teaching

learning process funnier.

Page 29: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

9

Second, is classroom management. According to Scrivener (as sited by

Rahman, 2011) classroom management is defined as a method and strategies that

is used to manage the teaching learning process so that the teaching learning process

will be conducive.

Majid (2006) argued that a conducive learning process is supporting factors to

make students interested in learning process, otherwise if learning process does not

conducive the students will be bored. Specifically, classroom management will

involve what the teacher do in order to manage students, time, and subject so that

the content instruction and learning process will be run well (Wong & Rosemary,

2001).

Third, is lesson planning. Lesson planing is an ability to prepare the material

and what method that will be used in teaching learning process. Lesson planning is

very needed by the teacher and also the student. For the teacher, lesson planning is

needed to anticipate the problem that may be happened in teaching learning process

(Council, 2011).

Fourth, is Subject knowledge, according to French (2005) subject knowledge

is an ability teacher that should have in accordance with the students need.

Sometimes, students expect that the teacher become an expert and implement their

knowledge in teaching learning process. Knowledge on content can make teacher

to analyze student’s problem.

Meanwhile Jones, et.al (2006) argued that there are seven skills that need to be

prepared by the student teachers. First, is Preparation and planning, for example,

choosing purpose of learning related to guidelines of school curriculum and use the

Page 30: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

10

appropriate of resources. Second, is classroom management, for example, using

time settings and space to ensure the smooth running of the learning activities.

Third, is communication skill, for example, using questions and explain effectively.

Fourth, is learning setting for student, such as working in accordance with the age

and ability.

Fifth, assessment of student learning, such as providing a feedback for students

to help them improve their work in the future. Sixth, knowledge of the relevant

materials, for example, using knowledge of the topic to guide and develop students

understanding appropriate with their ability. Seventh, relation with students, for

example, indicates a genuine concern to providing motivation the development of

students.

Based on some definition of teaching skills proposed, this study will focus on

two kind of teaching skills which student teachers must have for the future.

1. The skill in classroom management, which includes the skill in opening the

class, delivering the material, using method and media, evaluating students

until end the teaching.

2. The skill in making lesson plan, it is the way the teacher prepare the lesson

plan before started the teaching process.

Teaching skill is one of the important aspect to support the teacher in teaching

learning process. There are

some ways to develop the teaching skills. Perrott( as cited in Kyriacou 2007:15

) explains his analysis on how the teacher get and develop the teaching skills. It will

focus on three steps.

Page 31: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

11

The first step is cognitive focus on developing and identifying element and the

step in achieving the skill, knowing the aim in using the skills, and knowing how

the skills prospers in order the teaching method which is used in environmental

class.

The second step is practice. It is usually used in class but sometimes it is used

in the course outside class to develop teaching skills.

The third step is feedback, which allows teachers to improve performance skills

with evaluate the relative success of the performance.

Perrott sees the third steps as a circle, where the third steps feedback is back in

the first step as a part in developing skills continuously. Beside that Kyriacou (2007)

explain that to develop teaching skills is depend on the teacher’s motivation itself.

Teacher should be ready to spend of time, energy, and effort to evaluate their

teaching skills.

2. The Concept of Microteaching

The act of Undang-UndangRepublik Indonesia number 14 year 2005 Chapter

IV Verse 10 on teacher and lecturer, explain that a teacher has to have a competence

which is reliable. It refers to the teaching context and teacher in society context.

That competence includes pedagogical competence, personal competence,

professional competence, and social competence. It indicates that to be a

professional teacher, student teacher should have enough preparation. In order to

create a professional teacher, it can be developed by Practicum, Microteaching then

will be continue with Teaching Practice Program (Yusuf, 2010).

Page 32: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

12

Microteaching is usually applied before student teachers do the teaching

practice program to examine theory readiness of student teachers so that it reduces

the student teachers nervous in real teaching. According to Remesh and Memorial

(2013), Microteaching is a teachers exercise to learn a teaching skills. It employs

real teaching situation for developing skills and help to get knowledge in teaching

process. Besides that, Kilic (2010) argued that microteaching can develop the

ability of making a lesson plan, decide a teaching’s purposes, teach in front of the

students, and try to evaluate teaching learning process. It can be done in a small

group of students.

a. Definition of Microteaching

Allen & Eve (2000) define microteaching as “A system of controlled practice

that makes it possible to concentrate on specific teaching behavior and to practice

teaching under controlled conditions”. Microteaching method offers new and

different opportunities to pre-service teachers about the planning and

implementation of new teaching strategies. Microteaching has an important place

in preparation for the teaching profession because of its potential to emphasize the

relationship between theory and practice (Ajayi-Dopemuet,al, 2001).

Microteaching is a technique in teacher education which provides a transition

from theory to real teaching situations (Çelik, 2001)In microteaching, pre-service

teachers find opportunities to develop skills to prepare lesson plans, choose

teaching goals, take students’ attention, speak in front of group, ask questions,

managing time effectively, and assessment techniques (Kılıç, 2010).

Page 33: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

13

In summary, microteaching is an instrument for teacher training. If offers the

student the opportunity to practice teaching activities under controlled and simulate

circumstances such that the complexity of the real teaching situation is simplified

in terms of the number of students, the amount of teaching time and the amount of

teaching activities to which particular attention can be given.

b. The Cycle of Microteaching

The Microteaching cycle starts with planning. In order to reduce the

complexities involved in teaching, the student teacher is asked to plan a "micro-

lesson" i.e a short lesson for 5-10 minutes which he will teach in front of a "micro-

class” i.e a group consisting 3-4 students, a supervisor and peers if necessary. There

is scope for projection of model teaching skills if required to help the teacher

prepare for his session. The student teacher is asked to teach concentrating one or

few of the teaching skills enumerated earlier. His teaching is evaluated by the

students, peers and the supervisor using checklists to help them. Video recording

can be done if facilities permit. At the- end of the 5 or 10 minutes session as planned,

the teacher is given a feedback on the deficiencies noticed in his teaching

methodology. Feedback can be aided by playing back the video recording. Using

the feedback to help himself, the teacher is asked to re-plan his lesson keeping the

comments in view and reteach immediately the same lesson to another group. Such

repeated cycles of teaching, feedback and re-teaching help the teacher to improve

his teaching skills one at a time. Several such sequences can be planned at the

departmental level.

3. The Concept of Perception

Page 34: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

14

a. Definition of Perception

There are some definitions that are given by several expert as follows :

According to Robbin in Thahir (2018) perception is the process taken by

individuals to govern and to interpret perception of sensory to give significance

in their environment. Perception can be defined as poeple recognition and

interpretation of sensory information. Perception also includes how poeple

respond the information. Poeple can think of perception as a process where they

take in sensory information from environment and used the information in order

to interact with environment. Perception allows people to take the sensory

information in make into something meaningful.

Leavit (2002) found that definition of perception in the narrow sense is right,

how to see something. While generallt perception is opinion, how to define

something. Barry (1998;48) state that perception is the set of process by which

recognize, organize, and make stimuli in our environment. The key distinction

between the two main theories of perception is emphasizing each gives to the

role of sensation and higher cognitive process perception.

Slameto in Sulastiani (2013) found that perception is process to input

message or information to human brain by the human perception that continously

make relation with envorinment. This relation is done by the five senses those

were senses of sight, sense of feeling, sense of smell, and sense of touch.

From the definitions above, the writer can conclude perception is the

process when poeple express their sense and experience or when poeple organize

their interpretation to prodece a menaningfull experience.

b. Indicators of Perception

Page 35: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

15

According to Robbins (2003) there are two indicators of perception:

1) Acceptance/Reabsorption

The process of acceptance or reabsorption is indicator of perception in

phsyology stage, it is about the function of the five sense in grasping

external stimulus.

2) Understanding/Evaluation

The external stimulus that have been grasped evaluate. It is a subjective

evaluation. It be different perception of each person in environment.

c. The Types of Perception

Zanden in Udrus (2015) devides perceptioon in three types as follows :

1) Person Perception

Person perception refers two those process by which we come to know and

think about other. Their characteristic, qualities, and inner state. We

construct image of those others in ways that serve to satbilize, make

predictible, and render our manageble view of the social world extend to

which we attribute stable straits and enduring disposition to the other

poeple.

We feel that we are better able to understand their behavior and

predict their future actions and we used these nations to guide our

interaction which them.

2) Social Perception

Social perception means that trying to understand poeple whether they were

professional athletes, political, leaders, criminal defendants, entertainer, or

loved one closer to home is not easy task.

Page 36: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

16

Perception does not occur in vacuum instead we bring to bear prior

knowladge that we have structure and stored in our heads for the processing

of new information about individuals. Social life dictates that we do

something more than creatures of the moment. Sustained patterns of

interaction or social relationship require us to retain information, as the

situation require. Without memory we should react to every events as if it

we unique, and if we did not remember the facts, we should be in capale of

thinking or reasoning.

3) Perception of Situation

Social psycholinguistic views a situation as all the social factors that

influence a person’s experience or behavior at a given time, and given a

place. It is an interaction of time and space within which we act in specific

ways.

The situational contest in which stimuli occur has consequences for

their interpretation. Any one of multiple words may emerge. Depending on

which stimuli we register. The linkage we make among these stimuli and

our interpretation of the stimuli.

The conceptual framework also show that teaching learning process in

microteaching subject which is conducted by the lecturer it measure the students’

perception as the object of learning process, whether it is an effective subject to

support the students’ teaching skill in the teaching practice program or not.

The students’ perception can be used as a turning point to reflect on the process

and the strategic of implementation the microteaching subject by the lecturer.

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHOD

This chapter present about research design, variable, population and

sample, research instrument, data collection technique, and data analysis

technique.

A. Reserch Design

The method used in this research was quantitative descriptive method.

Descriptive research can be either quantitative or qualitative. Creswell (1994) has

given a very concise definition of quantitative descriptive method as a type of

research that is `explaining phenomena by collecting numrical data that are

analyzed using mathematically based methods (in particular statistics). Quantitative

descriptive studies are aimed at finding out "what is," so observational and survey

methods are frequently used to collect descriptive data (Borg & Gall, 1989).

B. Variable

The variables of the research were the students’ perception toward the

Microteaching subject in supporting their teaching skill in microteaching program.

C. Population and Sample

2. Sample

The researcher used Truly Random Sampling as the technique for selecting

sample. Truly Random sampling is, one of the most sampling that included in

random sampling. A truly random sampling is a type of sample that all members

who may be involved must have the same opportunity to use, come from an equal

Page 41: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

21

background, be assigned individually through a random process, and all complete

the study. Based on the criterion of truly random sampling the researcher decided

to take samples in each class of sixth semester english students Muhammadiyah

University of Makassar and take 5 people based on the order of absence. So, the

number of sampling of this research are 50 students.

D. Research Instrument

A questionnaire is simply tool for collecting and recording information

about a particular issue of interest. The researcher mainly makes up of a list of

questions. There are two types of questionnaire there are open-ended question and

closed-ended question, in this research the researcher used close-ended question.

Close ended questions were defined as a type of question that asked

respondents to choose from a series of different pre-definition responses, such as

"yes / no" or provide a checklist or among a set of multiple choice questions. In a

typical scenario, closed questions are used to collect quantitative data from

respondents.Questions are ideal for calculating statistical data and percentages, as

the answers set is known. Closed ended questions can also be asked to different

groups at different intervals to efficiently track their opinion about a

product/service/company over time.

The questionnaire is a technique of data collection will be done by giving a

set questions or a written statement to the respondent to answer (Sugiyono, 2016).

In this study using an instrument with a Likert scale. Likert scale is used to measure

Page 42: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

22

attitudes, opinion, someone or some people perceptions about social phenomena

(Sugiyono, 2016).

The answer for every item of instrument that use Likert scale have gradation

from Strongly Agree (SA), Agree (A), Disagree (D), And Strongly Disagree (SD)

(Sugiyono, 2012). In this study the instrument, respondents are ask to choose their

report to signify one of the numbers from 1 to 4 based explanation for the numbers,

that are:

1. Strongly Agree, respondents get score (4)

2. Agree, respondents get score (3)

3. Disagree, respondents get score (2)

4. Srongly disagree, respondents get score (1)

E. Data Collection Technique

The research relied heavily on the questionnaires. The researcher applied

questionnaire in this research by doing these following procedures:

1. The researcher used questionnaires and the statements are directed to the

English students who had learn the microteaching subject.

2. The researcher gave the explanation to the students’ about the purpose of

the questionnaire and how to answer the questionnaire.

3. The researcher informs the objectives of the questionnaire after distributing

to the participants.

Page 43: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

23

4. The participants of the research answer the questionnaire in the answer

sheet and they have 30 minutes to answer the statements.

F. Data Analysis Technique.

To analysis the data, quantitative data analysis techniques is employ

carefully and sistematically. The data is collected from students through question.

The study used a modify likert scale in giving score on respondents to obtain

quantitative data in this research, in a likert scale modification the answer are given

by students

Table 3.2. A Likert Scale

Strongly Disagree 1

Disagree 2

Agree 3

Strongly Agree 4

(Sugiyono, 2012)

The data in the application aims to determine students 'perception of

Microteaching subject while the tools of data analysis used in this study to

determine the students' perception of Microteaching subject is mean.

Mean is used to determine or calculate the average value using arithmetic

calculations. The calculation of the mean is determined by combining the values

of each respondent's answer value SA = 4, A = 3, D = 2, SD = 1. If the majority of

respondents are strongly agree (SA), then the amount Mean will be close to 4 and

vice versa. If the majority of respondents Strongly disagree (SD), then the

magnitude of the mean will be close to 1 on the scale (1-4) based on the maximum

Page 44: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

CHAPTER IV

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS

In this chapter, the results of the study are presented. The chapter is divided

into two main sections. The first section presents the data description, followed by

findings on each statement aspects to answer research questions about students’

perceptions toward the microteaching subject in supporting the students’ teaching

skill, and lastly the discussion on findings from the questionnaire.

A. Findings

Students’ Perception Toward Microteaching in Supporting Students’

Teaching Skill

The definition of perception is the process when people express their sense and

experience or when poeple organize their interpretation to prodece a menaningfull

experience.

This research is descriptive research which describe about the students’

perception toward the effectiveness of microteaching subject to support their

teaching ability in teaching practice program, in order to maximize the learning

process microteaching subject in classroom, knowing the students’ perception

toward the effectiveness of microteaching subject is important.

25

Page 46: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

26

The students’ perception can be used as a turning point to reflect on the

process and the strategic of implementation the microteaching subject by the

lecturer, whether it is an effective subject to support the students’ teaching skill in

the teaching practice program or not.

The data gained through quantitative questionnaire. The participants of this

study were 50 English Education’s students from year 2019 who were chosen by

using truly random sampling. This involved identifying and selecting individuals

or groups of individuals that are especially knowledgeable about or experienced

with aphenomenon of interest (Cresswell and Plano Clark 2011). In addition, those

students claimed that they have already taken the microteaching subject. They also

had experiences in teaching practice program.

B. Finding on Research Questions.

The data of students’ perceptions toward the microteaching subject in

supporting the students' teaching skill in teaching practice program covered by

questionnaire distributed to 50 participant then analyzed by using likert scale.

The result of this aspect analysed statement by statement which is consisted of

twelve statements and followed by the explanation and its category.

C. Discussions

As has been presented on findings, results in questionnaire show that students

had positive perception towards the microteaching subject in supporting the

students' teaching skill in teaching practice program. It can be seen from the mean

score of the data. This research question is meant to collect the students’ perception

toward their microteaching class. In the questionnaire that had been distributed, the

respondents were asked to respond to 12 items related to interest towards

microteaching and the effectiveness of microteaching to support their teaching skill

in teaching practice program. The students’ have positive perception toward

microteaching subject. The researcher assumed that these students regarded

microteaching as important. It is along with what Ismail (2007) revealed that

general students have a positive attitude towards microteaching.

The findings showed that most of the students agreed that their teaching skill

changed after taking microteaching subject. The findings is related to a research

done by Haziah (2003) whereby most of respondents agreed that their attitude

towards teaching changed after taking microteaching course. The students agreed

that after taking microteaching subject, their teaching skill especially classroom

management and lesson plan preparation were developed.

Page 58: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

38

The findings clearly indicated that microteaching prepared the students for

their teaching practice program especially in managing the class and preparing the

lesson plan. All these are important parts of microteaching which enable the

students to improve their teaching skills.

Page 59: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

This chapter consists of two sections, the first section dealt with the

conclusion of findings of the research and the other one deal with suggestion.

A. Conclusion

Based on the findings and discussion, it can be concluded that the students’

perception toward microteaching subject in supporting the students’ teaching skill

was positive perception. It was proved by the grand mean was 3,25 and that was

categorized agree based on the interval scale. The findings of the research showed

that the students perceived microteaching as important and they possesed positive

perception towards their microteaching class. The students agreed that

microteaching is an effective subject in preparing them for teaching practice

program, microteaching support their teaching skill especially classroom

management and lesson plan preparation.

Therefore, microteaching can be considered as an important subject to

prepare these students for their teaching practice. By going through a certain period

of microteaching session, students will be able to learn how to plan a lesson

properly and able to manage the class.

39

Page 60: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD MICROTEACHING SUBJECT IN

40

B. Suggestion

Based on the result of the data analysis and conclusion, the researcher

suggested that microteaching should be employed more as students have the chance

to improve their teaching skills in managing the class and preparing the lesson plan.

Assessment and feedback of microteaching should be given by the lecturer and the

classmates. This will also help the students get a more serious stand and role in their

own profession. For the next researcher this can be a reference about microteaching.
