Research Procedure RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
31 the interviewee in Movie Interpretation class who described the situation in Movie
Interpretation class as follows. I think it’s not complicated, Movie Interpretation class is fun anyway,
but we still have to pay attention in the class, because sometimes there will be a lot of info that helps us a lot when doing some works, like
works about editing and movie analysis. Interviewee2
The students thought that Movie Interpretation class was not complicated, but the students would still need to pay attention to every material, because the material
was actually difficult sometimes. This following statement from another student also supported as follows.
Maybe because of the atmosphere inside the class is fun, but it doesn’t
mean that the materials are easy, the point is we still have to study for this subject. But, the class is already fun. Interviewee5
From the first statement above, the researcher related the data with the theory of perception. Altman, Valenzi and Hodgetts 1985 state that
“perception is the way stimuli are selected and grouped by a person so that they can be meaningfully
interpreted. It is a person’s view of reality. The process of perception enables us to
understand and cope with the environment in which we live ” p. 85. Referring to this
theory, the researcher defined the “environment” here as a Movie Interpretation class.
The data also showed that 100 of the students gave positive responses in the first statement. It meant that Movie Interpretation class is fun.
The second statement that stated “the materials in Movie Interpretation class
are difficult” took one 1 student 1.52 chose strongly disagree, twenty-eight 28 students 42.42 disagree, twenty-nine 29 students 43.93 agree and eight 8
32 students 12.12 strongly agree. According to the findings, more than 50 of the
students agreed that materials in Movie Interpretation class were difficult. This statement was also supported by the interview session with the students of Movie
Interpretation and provided some answers as follows. In between I think, sometime it is difficult but sometimes it is easy,
basically we still have to study in this subject. Interviewee5 The materials are not always easy, sometimes it is difficult.
Interviewee4 I think the materials are little bit complicated, but because it was well-
explained so I can take it well. Interviewee2
The data above in line with the close-ended data that the researcher had already obtained, the three statements from the interviewee showed the difficulties of
the material on Movie Interpretation. Thirty-seven 37 respondents stated that it was actually difficult and twenty-nine 29 respondents stated that the materials were
easy. Using the same theory from the statement number one, which comes from Altman, Valenzi and Hodgetts 1985 stated that
“perception is the way stimuli are selected and grouped by a person so that they can be meaningfully interpreted. It is a
person’s view of reality. The process of perception enables us to understand and cope with the environment in which we live
” p. 85. It can be seen that the students’ view of reality according to the difficulty of the material in Movie Interpretation class was
difficult. It meant that the students still had to study in Movie Interpretation class. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
