and Javanese culture specifically. However, there is not any integrated assignment as the followed up of the activity. Therefore, I planed to conduct a set of learning
activity by having fieldtrip in the museum ended by a writing assessment.
4.1.2 Second Pre Observation
The second pre observation was conducted in Ronggowarsito Museum on April 12
th
2011. The main purpose of the second pre observation was to find out the usual activity of fieldtrip there. I conducted an investigation to collect the data about
Ronggowarsito Museum and observing the way of students and other visitors in appreciating the collections. It was useful to obtain data about the students‟ behavior
towards Museum which related to the cultural awareness of them. In this stage, I interviewed some visitors about Ronggowarstito Museum and its effects towards the
students‟ awareness of culture. From this observation stage, I found that most of the visitors of
Ronggowarsito Museum were students followed by their teachers. They visited the museum as one of the agenda of their school to have an excursion or fieldtrip to see
the remains of Indonesian ancient history. From the interview toward a student who visited the museum, I noticed that there was no integrated assignment as the followed
up of the activity given to them. Therefore, they tended to ignore the information given by the museum guide and spent most of their time to take pictures and
sometimes made jokes from the object displayed. That condition reflected that the students‟ curiosity of culture and history were
still lack. Therefore, I planned to conduct fieldtrip integrated with some basic
information to stimulate students‟ curiosity of cultural awareness. As the followed up activity, I planned to give the students an assignment of writing recount text based on
their fieldtrip experience in Ronggowarsito Museum. However, after observing the museum and the English written information of
the objects displayed, I found there were some errors in the use of past tense there. I considered this as the problem in teaching the students about writing recount since its
purpose is to retell event, which of course, using past tense as the time dimension.
