2. Questionnaire

According to Ary et al 2002:566 questionnaire is an instrument in which respondents provide written responses to questions or mark items that indicate their responses. In this study, the questionnaires were distributed in order to obtain information from the students about their perception after experiencing the role play. According to Ary, et al 1979:175, there are two types of questionnaire. They are structured, or closed type, and unstructured, or open type. The questionnaire used in this research was a combination between open and closed forms. Singarimbun 1989:178 defined this kind of questionnaire as a semi-open-ended questionnaire. The open type items were used to get more information from the students because they are permitted to answer freely and fully in their own ideas. On the other hand, the closed type items were used to enable the respondents easy in filling the questionnaires since the students only have to put a check sign √ in the provided space according to their opinions. The researcher compiled the questions based on some theories of role play. The questionnaire used for this study was consisted of 23 closed types, and 2 open types. The researcher divided the questionnaire into three parts. The first part Part A consisted of the students’ identification, the second part Part B consisted of the statements list and the third part Part C consisted of the students’ opinions. The questionnaire was in the form of Likert scale. Ary et al 2002:224 stated that a Likert scale assesses attitudes toward a topic by presenting a set of statements about the topic and asking respondents to indicate whether they strongly agree, agree, are undecided, disagree, or strongly disagree. This scale was used to measure students’ perception on the use of role play in speaking class. The perception measured whether the respondents strongly agree SA, agree A, disagree D, or strongly disagree SD with the given statement. The researcher omitted the undecided option in order to avoid misunderstanding because it did not contribute any responses. Table 3.2.
