CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter displayed the data analysis of the research result. The findings were about the significant experiences of ELESP students of Sanata Dharma University batch 2011 until 2012 who had taken Service Program Design. After analyzing the findings, the researcher discussed the significant experiences which were appropriate to help the students build their good character as a teacher candidate. The researcher tried to put the important points of the experiences in this part. The ELESP students shared their stories through their experiences about the activities in SPD class that help them change their character as a teacher candidate. This chapter presented to answer the research problem; 1. What kinds of significant learning experiences from SPD class develop students‟ good characters as teacher candidates?

A. The Presentation of Close-ended Form Result

This part showed the table and the diagram of the character building of the ELESP students from the activities in the class. There were twenty-five respondents in this research. They were expected to choose one of the options by giving the tick mark √ in the column which correspond to the degree of agreement listed Strongly Disagree 1, Disagree 2, Agree 3, and Strongly Agree 4. The detailed information about Table 4.3 was in appendix E on the analysis of the close-ended questionnaire. 28 Table 4.3 the description of participants’ opinion from their experiences Point of indicators No Respondents’ opinion on N Central tendency Mn Med Md Learning outcomes 1. SPD class is really helpful to find out the differences of my knowledge and skill with my friends. 25 3.4 3 3 2. SPD class helps me to learn how to behave to be a professional teacher. 25 3.4 4 4 3. SPD class is very meaningful because there are a lot of experiences to build good character as a teacher candidate. 25 3.3 3 4 Project-based learning 4. The lecturer in SPD class gave assignments that make the students understand the material well. 25 3.3 3 3 5. The assignments in SPD class help the students to understand the lecturer‟s expectation of the final goal of the changes of students‟ character. 25 3.5 4 4 6. SPD class was very challenging because of the assignments which were very 25 3.3 3 3 29 helpful to change students‟ character as a teacher candidate. 7. I can solve the problem of the assignment which given by the lecturer. 25 3.5 4 4 8. I learnt to make better choice to solve my problem. 25 3.6 4 4 Cooperative Language- Learning 9. The lecturer always asks the students to make a group or find a partner to find out the answer of a problem of a topic. 25 3.4 3 3 10. I can give good contribution to my friends in solving a problem of a topic. 25 3,2 3 3 11. I can be responsible for the information that I gave to my friends by giving an example. 25 3.2 3 3 12. My friends and I can work together well to solve a problem. 25 3.5 3 3 13. My friends and I can find the problem solving well. 25 3.4 3 3 Total 25 122.9 3.52 Additional note: N = Number of respondents 30 Mn = Mean is the indicator of the central tendency. Med= Median is the middle point. Md = Mode is the score that occurs most frequently in a set of scores. The formulas of the mean formulated as follow: = Mean = Sum X = Score N = Number of respondents N = Number for the statements to calculate the final result mean The result of the table showed that SPD class was really helpful for the students in building their good character as teacher candidates. The final result of the mean was 3.52 which mean that most of the ELESP students agree SPD class build their good character. It was almost close to option four; “Strongly agree”. There were no students who chose disagree.
