1. Questionnaire

The questionnaire consisted of two types of question; they were close and open-ended questions. The questionnaire was divided into two parts. The first part Part I was close-ended questions consisted of 22 statements related to how the students perceived the use of observation sheets. The first 16 statements were used to find out the students’ perception while the other statements number 17 up to 22 were used to find out the feedback the students obtained from the use of observation sheets. In giving responses to each statement in the questionnaires, the students were asked to put a tick in the provided column. There were four columns for each questionnaire statements. In this research, the researcher did not use neutral choice in questionnaire column because of avoiding uncertain answer. The respondents tend to choose neutral answer. In order to obtain definite answer, the researcher decided to provide only four columns. They were totally agree, disagree, agree, and totally agree. The researcher used Likert scale where the value of each column is from 1 to 4. The low value represents negative answer and high value represents positive answer. The value of each column concerned the following agreement, • 1 was for totally disagree • 2 was for disagree • 3 was for agree • 4 was for totally agree 26 The second part of questionnaire Part II was three open-ended questions. The open-ended questions were used to find both the students’ perceptions and the feedback gathered and feedback contribution toward students’ teaching skills development as well as to find any students’ recommendations to improve and to maximize the use of observation sheets in microteaching classes. The questionnaire sheet can be seen in Appendix 2 see page 64.

2. Interview

The interview was conducted to verify the result of the main instrument. It was meant to ensure and to recheck the students’ answer in the questionnaire. The researcher prepared six open-ended questions, which were designed to dig out students’ perception on the use of observation sheets, the feedback students obtained, feedback contributions toward students’ teaching skills development, and students’ critics and suggestions on the use of observation sheets. The open- ended questions form was used as there would not be any predetermined answer, which limits the students responses. The interview guide was attached in Appendix 3 see page 66.
