D. Data Gathering Technique
The first data was obtained from the questionnaire distributed to sixth semester students in Microteaching class academic year of 20102011. The
researcher distributed the questionnaire to four classes in four different times. Class A was on Thursday 26 May 2011. Class E was on Monday 30 May
2011. Class B was on Tuesday 31 May 2011. Class D was on Monday 6 June 2011. Before distributing the questionnaire, the researcher asked those who had
performed teaching lower semester students, so only they were able to fill the questionnaire. There are 48 Microteaching students from four different
Microteaching classes being the participants in the research. Because of the tight schedule for teaching practices, the researcher decided to take the questionnaires
back from the Microteaching students in the following meeting after the questionnaires were given. Then the researcher took the questionnaire from class
A on Tuesday 31 May 2011, class E on Wednesday 1 June 2011, Class B on Tuesday 7 June 2011, and class D on Wednesday 8 June 2011. Not all the
students submitted the questionnaires because some of them had not taught lower semester class yet.
After having data from questionnaire, the researcher conducted interview to recheck and follow up their answers in the questionnaires. The researcher only
chose 8 respondents who represented 4 students with the most positive perception and 4 students with the most negative perception toward the implementation of
teaching lower semester students which was described in data closed-ended questionnaire. The interviews were held on Wednesday, June 15; 2011, Friday,

30 June 17, 2011; and Monday, June 21, 2011.
Furthermore, the research tried to find out the answer to the first research question by conducting interview. Two Microteaching lecturers were interviewed
on Wednesday, July 13, 2011 and on Friday, July 15, 2011.
E. Data Analysis Technique
The researcher emphasized the research on students’ perception on implementation of teaching lower semester class. The researcher counted the
number of circles on each degree of agreement of each item, “strongly agree”, “agree”, “strongly disagree”, and “disagree” by setting them on a table. Then, the
researcher calculated the raw data into percentage and interpreted them by elaborating them with the data from the interview. The next step was counting the
average of each degree of agreement. The calculation pursued one goal that is to inform the researcher about their tendency on each item. The formula was,
Σx X
100 Σn
Σx: The number of students based on the degree of agreement Σn: The number of all students
The result of closed-ended questionnaire can be seen in Appendix 4a. The result was elaborated into three main parts because microteaching had three
teaching stages namely planning, performance and perception Gilarso, 1986. In performance stage specifically, the researcher categorized them into four sub
points which refer to teaching skills namely set induction and set closure skills,

31 explaining and stimulus variation skills, and questioning and reinforcement skills,
and classroom management. Every category in the result of the closed-ended questionnaire was completed with the tables.
For creating the validity of the data acquired from both questionnaire and interview, the researcher conducted data triangulation. Patton 2002 stated that
data triangulation was “the use of variety of data source in a study” p. 247. He added that data triangulation was intended to produce the consistency of
findings. Denzin 1978 as cited in Moleong 1989 claimed that there were four kinds of triangulation techniques, namely the use of source, method, investigating
officer, and theory. In this research, the data triangulation used source since “the researcher cross check the data acquired from the questionnaire with the result of
the interview” Patton, 2002, p.195. The result interview with Microteaching students was attached in Appendix 6.
To answer the first research question, the researcher gathered and combined the data from interviews done with Microteaching lecturers who were
in charge of teaching Microteaching classes.
