3.4.2 Interview
According to Babbie 1990: 20, interview is an instrument which is commonly done in face-to-face encounter. It enables the interviewer to ask the
questions verbally and record the respondents’ answers. In this research, the researcher used interview as one of the instruments because the researcher could
obtain the further information by having face-to-face interaction with the respondents.
Interview has two forms of questions, namely unstructured questions and structured questions. According to Backstrom and Cesar 1981: 128, unstructured
questions invite the respondents to answer freely and at length. It gives respondents to have free-response in answering the questions. While structured
questions gives fixed-response alternatives to the respondents. In this form, the respondents should choose one of the alternative answers. In this research, the
researcher used unstructured questions to the students of class VIII C and VIII D who mostly answer ‘disagree’ or ‘strongly disagree’ on the questionnaire of the
classes. The interview questions consisted of six questions. The blueprint of the interview is presented in the following table.
