B. Research Problems

The researcher is going to answer three questions related to the research. The questions are as follows. 1. How is questioning skill implemented in Microteaching class by the students who act as a teacher? 2. What is the students’ perception of their questioning skill performance in Microteaching class? 3.

C. Problem Limitation

This research is included in collaborative research where the basic teaching skill is the umbrella topic of the research. This umbrella topic is broken down into five sub topics, they are set induction, stimulus variation and delivery, the questioning skill, reinforcement skill, and set closure. The subjects of this research are the ELESP students who were taking Microteaching class in the academic year 20112012 in Sanata Dharma University. This research focuses on the students’ perception of their questioning skill performance in Microteaching class. Therefore, this research is limited to the students’ performances when they practiced questioning skill in Microteaching class. Moreover, this research tries to find the students’ perception, both as students and as teacher. It is because in Microteaching class, the students have two different roles when they are doing a teaching practice, the roles are the student-role and the teacher-role. 5
