65 importance of having awareness for someone who were in need. One of the
students shared her reflection about it: “Yes, by joining this class now I understand that being good at academic
is never enough but being good at making relationship with other is also
important.” Student 33 It was along with the goal of Jesuit University in forming their students
to be “men and women for others” ICAJE, 1993. Meanwhile, learning log focused on bringing reflection so that the students could support their interpreting
skills.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter consists of two parts. The first part is the conclusion of this study. The second part contains the recommendations toward Ignatian Pedagogy
implementation in the interpreting class.
5.1 Conclusions
This study aims to answer two research problems. Those are: 1 How is Ignatian Pedagogy implemented in teaching-learning process of interpreting class and
2 how do the students perceive Ignatian Pedagogy in interpreting class. The first research problem is
answered from the lecturer’s side. There are two ways of implementing the Ignatian Pedagogy in interpreting class. The first way is by
conducting the systematical learning plan of Ignatian Pedagogy teaching-learning process. The lecturer makes the learning plan based on the Ignatian Pedagogy cycle.
The cycle contains of context, experience, reflection, action and evaluation. The second answer of the first question is that the lecturer provides some activities which
cover three main aspects of Ignatian Pedagogy. Therefore, the lecturer considers 3C competence, conscience and compassion in creating the learning activities. The
lecturer gives the explanation about theory of interpreting for improving students’
competence. There are assignments and individual works to foster students’
67 autonomy. Meanwhile, learning log is
used to help the students’ reflection especially their learning progress. In this class, the lecturer also let the students to practice and
share their interpreting skills. Lastly, the lecturer evaluates the students’ works to
know the students’ improvement in the class. On the other hand, the second research problem is answered by gaining the
students’ opinion about the Ignatian Pedagogy implementation. The students perceive the Ignatian Pedagogy from two ways. The first way is that the students perceive the
idea of ‘cura personalis’ from having a close relationship with the lecturer. The second way is from the discussion during the class. It helps the students in gaining the
importance of helping others. From the second activity, the students understand to be ‘men and women for others’. In addition, learning log becomes a successful media
which introduce reflection as one of the important thing in the Ignatian Pedagogy. The researcher finds out that reflection helps the students in deciding what action
should be done to help their surroundings. There are 83 of the students in the interpreting class who have a positive perception toward the Ignatian Pedagogy.
From this class, the researcher finds that the implementation of Ignatian Pedagogy cannot be seen easily. The implementation of Ignatian Pedagogy also needs
a long process. In order to form ‘men and women for others’, the lecturer needs to introduce the activity which let the students work with others. The most important
thing in implementing the Ignatian Pedagogy is that the lecturer can maintain a good
68 and close relationship with the students. This way can cover the idea of ‘cura
personalis’ which exist in Ignatian Pedagogy.
5.2 Recommendations
After conducting this study, the researcher would like to give the recommendations about the implementation of Ignatian Pedagogy, especially in
interpreting class. The recommendations would be given for the lecturer of the interpreting class. Moreover, the researcher of this study also would like to give
recommendations for the future researchers who want to have a similar research related to the Ignatian Pedagogy implementations.
5.2.1 Interpreting Lecturer
The lecturers are expected to prepare the good material before entering the class. This aims to help the students improve their competence to the fullest. The
researcher hopes that in the first meeting, the lecturer has a little introduction about Ignatian Pedagogy so that the students know the aims of Ignatian Pedagogy. The last
thing is that the lecturer needs to have a close relationship with the students. It is because through a good relationship, the students can understand the values of
Ignatian Pedagogy easily.
