72 not consider such kind of self-fulfilling prophecy as one of the important
strategies, they might have other excellences. It cannot be denied that self- fulfilling prophecy has an important roles in education. However, educators need
to realize that self-fulfilling prophecy is not the one and only strategy to enhance the students’ learning capacity.
B. Suggestions
According to the conclusion above, it was shown that the lecturers gave positive perception about self-fulfilling prophecy. It is believed that it can be used
in teaching- learning process such as encouraging students’ motivation. Therefore,
in this part, the researcher would like to give some suggestions to English Language Education Study Program, ELESP lecturers, ELESP students and future
researchers.
1. For Faculty of Teachers Training and Education
Based on the findings of this research, the Faculty of Teachers Training and Education can incorporate self-fulfilling prophecy theory to one of the chapter
of Introduction to Education course. The Faculty of Teachers Training and Education can also employ self-fulfilling prophecy to Micro-teaching class since
the students as teacher candidates have already learned about self-fulfilling prophecy in the Introduction of Education. Thus, the students can practice to
implement self-fulfilling prophecy in Micro-teaching class. Teacher candidates in Sanata Dharma University need to be introduced to self-fulfilling prophecy since
73 the beginning to make well-quality teacher candidates from Sanata Dharma
University.
1. For Lecturers of English Language Education Study Program
Lecturers need to realize that either encouraging students’ motivation or
gaining students’ attention to learn is the teachers’ role as an educator. Based on findings, the researcher found that implementing self-fulfilling prophecy was
important in the teaching-learning process. Although this research were gathered the data from four ELESP lecturers with the reason that the participants can
represent all of the lecturers, some of the lecturers might not implement self- fulfilling prophecy in their way of teaching. Lecturers may implement self-
fulfilling prophecy as the consideration that implementing self-fulfilling prophecy may bring both negative and positive side. Lecturers also should know that it will
be easier to teach students when there is a good relation between lecturers and students. One way of making a good relation is by implementing self-fulfilling
prophecy, make students trust and being assumed as a real human being that should be respect of.
2. For ELESP Students as Teacher Candidates
Students at English Language Education Study Program ELESP are expected to be teachers. Knowing that all of participants give positive perception
on self-fulfilling prophecy, ELESP students could consider self-fulfilling prophecy as one of the approaches that they could use later when they become
74 teachers. Teacher candidates must remember that being a teacher is a big
responsibility. In case of gaining students’ motivation, teacher candidates later can implement self-fulfilling prophecy so that the lesson would be well achieved.
3. For Future Researchers
For future researchers who will discuss further related to this topic, there are still related topics which can be developed from this research. The further
researchers can inquire further into the topic suc h as analyzing students’
perception on the lecturers’ implementation of self-fulfilling prophecy. Also, the further researcher can do an experiment to the research to know that the
lecturers’ beliefs in the students really gives impact to the
students’ achievement in the matter of scores.
