Reflecting Classroom Action Research Cycle 2
between the time management and the output of the task. In other words, by possessing good time management, the task might be managed and performed
well that brought into the better output. On the other hand, a principle of priority also worked here. Ms. Red
admitted that she planned to do it in the evening after the assignment was given. But she failed to perform it because in fact there was another homework that
should be collected in the following day. So, based on her explanation, she delayed doing the assignment on guessing from context because she thought that
she had to prioritize the homework that should be collected first. Examining her answer, it was found that students made use of the principle of priority in
managing their time. They managed their time to accomplish a task based on the deadline of the task.
Meanwhile, other participants of the interview declared that they would do the assignment on Sunday for they would have longer time. Since this type of
homework was relatively new for them, they thought that they would need more time to accomplish it. Three interviewees, Mr. Brown, Mr. Blue, and Mr. Black,
argued that they would do the assignment on Sunday. Based on their elaboration, Sunday is a holiday, so they had long time to finish the assignment. Mr. Black
added that learning vocabulary by guessing from context was new for him, so he thought that he would need much time for it.
Second, it was also discovered that in accomplishing the task, especially the second task, they carried out a kind of planning related to the source of learning.
According to the data gathered from the interview, there were two kinds of source
of learning employed by the students. Those were internet and English course- books. They planned to make use internet and English course-books in finding the
suitable reading passages. The reading passages were to be administered as the sources for them in learning new vocabulary.
Four out of five participants made use internet as their source of learning. Their reason was basically the same. They thought that it was easier to find a
suitable reading passage in the internet because there were many choices of it. It was as what Mr. Brown, Ms. White, Ms. Red, and Mr. Black pronounced in the
interview session that they would make use internet as their source of learning. The only participant who did not make use internet as the source of learning
was Mr. Blue. Rather than occupied internet, he administered English course- books he owned as his sources of learning. In the interview session, he uttered that
he would better search a text of report from the English course-books he had. There was no clear elaboration why Mr. Blue preferred to occupy English course-
books as the source of his learning. However, from what he has uttered in the interview session, it could be concluded that he would like to take advantage from
what he has owned, the English course-books he possessed.
