D. Research Instruments and Data Gathering Technique

The study used two kinds of instruments, namely, the questionnaire and interview.

1. Questionnaire

Questionnaire was the main instrument in the study because it gathered clients’ perceptions on the SPD students’ teaching skills. Ary, Jacobs, Azghar, 1979, p. 178 stated that questionnaire has two forms; the first one is open form or unstructured and closed form or structured. The research used two types of questionnaire, those were closed form questionnaires consists of 30 simple closed- ended statements where the students just need to give check marks in the provided spaces. In each statement, the researcher provided four columns to be filled. First column indicated strongly disagree SD, the second column indicated disagree D the third column indicated agree A and the fourth column indicated strongly agree SA. The closed-type questionnaires were also divided into six categories. The first one contained seven statements related to the English course, the second one contained four statements related to the teachers’ set induction and closure 28 skills, the third one contained three statements related to teachers’ delivery and stimulus variation skills, the fourth one contained five statements related to teachers’ questioning skills and reinforcement skill, the fifth one contained seven statements related to the teachers’ ability of conducting integrated teaching skills in the class, and the last one contained three statements related to teachers’ characteristics. The complete description of the questionnaire is available in following table 3.2 of questionnaire blueprint. The second type was the open form questionnaires which consisted of five open-ended questions related to the SPD student teachers’ teaching skills. The clients had to answer the questions in the provided space with their own words. This type of questionnaire gave the complete and clear overview of how the clients perceived on the SPD student teachers’ teaching skills. Table 3.2.
