because the researcher is an English teacher who teaches one public elementary school in that area. Based on that situation, it would be easier to conduct the
research since the researcher was facing almost the same situation with other teachers in that area such as the condition of the student and the environment, and
also the same curriculum standard and the government policy. There are fifteen public elementary schools. Since the researcher also teaches in one of the school
in Kotagede sub district, the researcher does not involve herself and her school on this research. So, the research is conducted only in fourteen schools.
The participants were twelve teachers came from fourteen schools. It was based on the situation that there were two English teachers who taught in two
schools. For those schools have more than one English teacher, the researcher chose one teacher randomly. It was done because English teacher who teach in the
same school usually have almost the same experience.
C. Research Instruments
In gathering the data, the researcher used two instruments. Those are questionnaire and interview sheet.
1. Questionnaire
To answer the first and the second problem, the researcher used questionnaire. According to Ary, Jacobs, and Razavieh 1990: 418, a
questionnaire was an instrument of the study to gather information through the respondents’ written responses to a list of questions.
In order to know the process of SBC development, the researcher conducted closed-ended questionnaires. Close-ended questions allow individual to
pick the response that best represented hisher belief or opinion Ary et. al, 418. In this questionnaire, the researcher provided 28 questions. Those questions
investigated the process of SBC development in elementary school English field. The curriculum development and syllabus development were investigated in order
to know how the process of SBC development is. To answer the second question about the elementary school English
teacher’s perception on the use of SBC, the researcher also employed closed- ended questionnaires. This questionnaire consisted of 19 questions. For the
response, the student might choose a number between 1 until 4 in the Likert-scale like questionnaire to indicate their level of agreement. Number 1 is for strongly
agree, 2 is for agree, 3 is for disagree, and 4 is for strongly disagree. The researcher also employed open-ended question on the questionnaire to
investigate about the characteristic of good curriculum and also to get some suggestion from the teacher to improve the implementation of SBC. Ary et. al
ibid 418 stated that open ended questions let a free response from the participants rather than limit the response to a choice from among stated
alternatives.
2. Interview
The second instrument used in this study was interview. Fetterman in Fraenkel and Wallen 1993:385 stated that interview is the most important data
collection technique a qualitative researcher possesses. Fetterman 1993 added PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
that the purpose of interviewing people is to find out what is on their mind, what they think or how they feel about something. The researcher conducted the
interview for the teachers. This interview was aimed to know the elementary school English teachers’ perceptions and the cause of the perception on the
implementation of SBC development.
D. Data Gathering Technique
This research was conducted on the second semester of 2008-2009 study years. On March 2 2009, the researcher distributed the questionnaires to SD
Gedongkuning, SD Karangsari, SD Rejowinangun 1, SD Rejowinangun 2, SD Kotagede I, SD Kotagede IV, and SD Kotagede VI. On March 3 2009, the
researcher distributed the questionnaires to SD Kotagede V, SD Kotagede VII, SD Pilahan, SD Baluwarti, and SD Karangmulyo and also conducted the interview
with four English teachers came from four elementary schools.. The questionnaires were submitted on March 5 and 6. From the total twelve
questionnaires distributed, nine questionnaires were returned.
E. Data Analysis Technique
In analyzing the data gathered, the first step done by the researcher was analyzing the questionnaires used to investigate the process of SBC development.
The questionnaire results were recorded in form of tables. The table see appendix 1 summarized the respondents’ answers on the questionnaire. There were two
options of answers, yes and no. Then, the researcher counted the percentage of PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
each answer. The researcher put the raw data in the form of table and drew the percentage of each statement in bar graphs before analyzing it. Next, the total
score of the answer from each questionnaire were counted. The total score were used by the researcher to know whether the teacher had developed SBC based on
the government rule. In order to answer the second question, the researcher transcribed the
interview result. The transcript was see appendix 2 then analyzed and summarized by the researcher. The summary would help the researcher to
classify the teachers’ perception toward the use of SBC. The next step was analyzing the second questionnaire. Like the first one, the second questionnaire
results were recorded in form of tables. This table performed the respondents’ response that showed their perceptions toward SBC. There were four choices of
response to the statement on the questionnaire, strongly agree, agree, disagree, and strongly disagree. Then, the researcher counted the percentage of each response.
The next step was the same as the analyzing process of the first questionnaire. The total score were used to classify the teachers’ perceptions toward SBC.
The last step was classifying the result of open-ended questions in the questionnaire. This analysis would help the researcher to know what are the
English teachers’ perceptions toward the use of SBC improve the implementation of SBC development.
