permits the researcher to summarize the characteristics of different groups or to find out
students’ perception on the effect of learning process in Play Performance Course on
the development of students’ leadership skill.
B. Research Participants
The respondents of this research were seventy six students of Play Performance Course batch 2013. The students were in the sixth semester when the
researcher gathered the data and they had experienced Play Performance Course in the previous semester. They have taken Play Performance Course in the odd
semester academic year 20152016. Since the researcher did a survey research, they were provided with questionnaire to be filled and some of them were interviewed.
Four students from the respondents who had filled the questionnaire were chosen to be interviewed by the researcher. Those interviewees were in different
division or job in their Play Performance project to find out the different perspectives on each division. The first respondent was one of six directors, one is
taken from the production division, and the others were from artistic division while one of them was the master of ceremony of the event. There is only one student
taken from each division because most respondents have similar responses in the questionnaire.
C. Research Setting
The research was conducted in the beginning of even semester academic year 20152016 in February 2016. The research took some setting places in English
Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University because the students of Play Performance Course are from four different classes. On Monday,
February 1
st
, respondents from class C and D filled in the questionnaire given by the researcher in class S2 302 and S2 303 while they were in KRS Semester Plan
Consultation process. Then, the respondents from class A and B filled in the questionnaire on Wednesday, February 3
rd
in language laboratory 1. The last data gathering was interview on the 12
th
of February 2016 in Student Hall Sanata Dharma University, Mrican.
D. Research Instruments
Interview and questionnaire are the major means of data collection for a survey Ary et al., 2010. Therefore, the researcher developed two kinds of research
instruments which are questionnaire and interview protocol to gather the data. The descriptions of those two instruments are explained as follows.
1. Questionnaire
In the questionnaire of this study, likert-type items are used. These scales range from a group of categories
—least to most—asking people to indicate how much they agree or disagree, approve or disapprove, or believe to be true or false.
Respondents rank quality from high to low or best to worst using five or seven levels Allen Seaman, 2007. It is used because this type of item can be assigned
to the various responses, and thus measures of central tendency, variability, correlation, and the like can be calculated Ary et al., 2010.
Those items let subjects indicate their responses to selected statements on a continuum from strongly agree to strongly disagree. There is really no wrong way
to build a likert scale. The most important consideration is to include at least five response categories Allen Seaman, 2007. The data collection of this research
used survey with some specific statements to know the influence of learning process in play performance course on the development of their leadership skill. Then each
statement is provided with some responses. The response is measured from strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, and strongly agree. The respondents are asked to
thick between the choices provided. The choices are SD Strongly Disagree, D Disagree, N Neutral, A Agree, SA Strongly Agree.
The researcher provides forty five statements in the questionnaire related to students’ leadership skill development through the learning process done in Play
Performance Course. Eight statements in the first research question talk about learning process. Those statements are connected to the learning theory explained
in the theoretical description. After the theory about learning process, the next thirty seven statements are provided to answer the research problem. Those statements
are related to the theories of leadership described in the theoretical description. The whole form of questionnaire can be seen in Appendix B.
2. Interview Protocol
The aims of this method is to know deeper about students’ perception on the
effect of learning process in play performance course on the development of students’ leadership skill. The researcher will dig out the information about
students’ perception in this phase. In doing the interview the research should pay PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
attention on some aspects. According to Quinn and Cochran, the interview should be reproducible so that someone else could use the same topic guide to generate
similar information, systematic, credible with reasonable questions and transparent so that the readers can see the collection and analysis of the data Quinn Cochran,
2002. Then, since survey data consist of peoples’ responses to individual questions, it is essential to start with good questions Ary et al., 2010. Therefore,
some guides to conduct the reproducible, systematic, and credible interview has been arranged in form of seven interview questions as seen in interview protocol
Appendix D. In the interview protocol, the questions related to theory of perception were asked to
find out students’ perception.
