CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
A. ICT Atmospheres in Al-Azhar BSD
To discuss about the ICT atmosphere in Senior High School Al-Azhar BSD, the writer tries to describe firstly with the
classroom‟s situations. The classroom‟s situation is almost the same like another school in Indonesia in which each class consist
of 25 up to 30 students. Each classroom is equipped with a white board, soft board, air conditioners, cupboard, tables, chairs, in
focus projector and so forth.
This School has 30 classrooms and offices that are air- conditioned. Learning space consists of 17 rooms, 1 room
Laboratory of Physics, Biology 1 space laboratory, 1 space Chemistry Laboratory, Computer Laboratory 1 room with a
capacity of 35 units of computers, Language Laboratory 1 room, 1 living Multimedia, 1 staff room, 1 living Teacher Research
Centre TRC, 1 living room and control room UKS. Overall classrooms and offices equipped with CCTV cameras.
And with regard to the ICT atmosphere in this school, the school is equipped with the language laboratory, hot spot area,
and e-learning portal that seem to be potential to create such a good learning community.
Known as one of the prominent private school, its learning environment has recently been supported by the ICT facilities.
Students are accustomed to using internet to access social media like twitter, facebook, and blog. Students tend to get bored when
teacher deliver the material conventionally. Regardless to the benefits of using power point, its use seemed to be usual. More
particularly, in the writing activity students tend to use their gadgets such as smart phone, tablet computer to write their
writing draft. Thing things occur since as a digital native, students need to learn something which is related with the technological
advance. That is why in this present study the writer tries to bring a new writing activity which is hoped could
meet the student‟s need.
The facilities provided in this school seem to be promising to be implemented a learning-based information and communication
technology, but the problem was probably the human resources were not ready enough to implement it. That is why, school
authorities still struggling to give such an ongoing training to the teachers and school staffs to get used to on the ICT utilization.
And this is goes in line with the statement saying that
“writing is still the major activity of the English classroom and the one with
which ICT is most involved .”
