4.1.4 Students’ Perception on the Implication of the Implementation of Reflection

Figure 4.9 The Implication of the Implementation of Reflection Figure 4.9 illustrated the implication of the implementation of reflection. It showed that 57.75 of students chose agree and 14.08 of students chose strongly agree on the statement “Reflection helps raise my learning awareness”. The rest of the students chose disagree 26.76 and strongly disagree 1.40. Moreover, 56.34 of the students chose agree and 8.45 of the students chose strongly agree on the statement “Reflection gives influence in my learning”. There were 4.23 of the students who chose strongly disagree and 30.99 of students chose disagree. Thus, the result showed that most of the students agreed that reflection influenced their learning and helped them to raise learning awareness. However, Figure 4.9 also showed that most of the students disagreed that reflection should be applied in every subject. There were 38.03 of students who chose disagree and 12.68 of students who chose strongly disagree on the 1.40 4.23 12.68 26.76 30.99 38.03 57.75 56.34 35.21 14.08 8.45 14.08 0.00 10.00 20.00 30.00 40.00 50.00 60.00 70.00 Reflection helps raise my learning awareness Reflection gives influence in my learning Reflection should be applied in every subject strongly disagree disagree agree strongly agree 38 statement “Reflection should be applied in every subject”. The other 35.21 of students chose agree and 14.08 of students chose strongly agree. Meanwhile, there were two questions listed in the open-ended questions which asked students perception on the implication of the implementation of reflection. The result of it was presented in Table 4.2 and 4.3. Table 4.2 Students’ Opinion on the Benefits of Reflection What is your opinion toward reflection? Does it give benefits for your learning? Why why not? Classification Example of Responses Give benefits 80.28 • Yes, of course, I can know my strengths and weaknesses in teaching • Yes, because it helps us to reflect what we have done previously, what to do next to improve our learning No benefits 11.27 • Reflection in my opinion is not really needed. Not really I don’t get any improvement I think. • Not really beneficial. Because I don’t do that sincerely Give benefits if ... 8.45 • It will give benefit if we write the reflection and share it not only writing and submitting so we can sahre directly, orally for the whole class will it be beneficiary menguntungkan • Sometime, when I got feedback I got the benefits but if there is no feedback there is no benefits Table 4.2 showed that 80.28 of students agreed that reflection gave them benefits and 11.27 of them responded that reflection did not give any beneficial for them. Besides, 8.45 of students responded that reflection sometimes gave them benefits only if reflection was made based on the reality in the learning, 39 reflection was conducted in appropriate timing, reflection was not only written but also being shared in the class, and reflection was not a must. Table 4.3 Students’ Suggestions on the Implementation of Reflection What are your suggestions of conducting reflection in the class? Classification Example of Responses Kinds of reflection 21.13 • J ust make it like diary, so students will be more comfort • Sharing after making reflection Implementation of reflection 71.83 • Lecturer can give any feedback so that the students can feel sure that hisher reflection is read • Don’t be too often. Because sometimes it is boring No response 7.04 • No response • Nothing. Table 4.3 showed some suggestions of conducting reflection in class stated by the students. The students’ responses on the suggestions were classified into three points namely kinds of reflection 21.13, implementation of the reflection 71.83 and no response 7.04. The students revealed that the kind of reflection was crucial in conducting reflection in class. Various kinds of reflection as an instance oral-reflection or written-reflection could be used to avoid the students’ boredom. Besides, the students suggested some points to improve the use of reflection in class which are teacher should give feedback and clear reflection instruction, students should make reflection based on the reality in the class, reflection should be conducted directly after class, and reflection should not be graded. 40
