CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents and discusses the results of the research which are obtained from the reflection and the interview guided by the researcher. The
researcher elaborated the use of reflection to enhance the students’ self-awareness
into four main parts. First, the researcher discussed the students’ awareness of
many problems they faced in learning structure. Second, the researcher discussed the students’ awareness of the importance of problem solving strategies in
learning. Third, the researcher elaborated the intrinsic motivation that appeared in the reflection. The last, the researcher deliberated the importance of reflecting
student’s feelings in learning. There were five phases conducted in this study, namely compiling,
disassembling, reassembling, interpreting and concluding. After conducting the first and the second phase, the researcher moved to the third phase, namely
reassembling. In this phase, the researcher clustered the data into four substantive themes. The themes are all about the use of reflection to enhance students’ self-
awareness in learning structure II.
A. Reflections Raise Students’ Awareness of the Problems They Faced in
Learning Structure
This part discusses the problems faced by the students in learning Structure II. In this part, there are five problems namely poor time management,
29 no willingness, grumble, lack of memorization, and difficulty in understanding of
the material. The first student, AL, said that she had poor time management. In the
statement, she had a lot of tasks. However, she also joined some organizations in her campus. AL also said that she got tired easily after attending organization, so
she was not interested in studying. She could not handle her time well in order to balance her study time and organization time.
“Di minggu kedua ini aku ngerasa pengaturan waktuku kacau. Aku mulai ikut organisasi di kampus dan itu bener-bener buat capek. Aku
jadi males buat belajar karena udah capek duluan. Nah, waktu kumpul organisasi itu sehari sebelum kelas Structure, jadi kadang
aku ngerjain tugasnya di kelas.” AL, day 2 In the second week, I felt that I had poor time management. I started
to join organization in the university and it made me very tired. I was lazy to study because I had already tired. In addition, the time for
organization was a day before structure class, so sometimes I did the tasks in the class. AL, day 2
Then, the second student, DE, also experienced poor time management. However,
DE’s experience was different from AL. In the statement, DE explained that she had poor time management in learning structure, because she spent most
of her time to hang out with her friends and did not pay much attention about her tasks and her study time. It was difficult for her to understand the material
because she did not have enough time to study the material. Her bad time management caused her not focus on studying.
“Masalah terbesarku yaitu pengurusan waktu yang jelek banget. Karena aku sukanya pergi jalan-jalan sama temen-temenku jadi aku
enggak peduli sama tugas-tugas. Dan itu membuatku keteteran dengan tugas-tugas yang seabrek dan enggak ngerti cara
