CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
In this chapter, the researcher presents and discusses the data. First, to answer the first research problem, the researcher focuses on finding
the student’s perception on their problems in mastering speaking skill based on KTSP. Second,
the researcher focuses on answering the second research problem about the effects of implementing Scientific Approach in KTSP on
the students’ ability in mastering speaking skill.
A. Students’ Perception on Their Problem in Mastering Speaking Skill
The first problem in this research focuses on the students’ perception on their problems in mastering speaking skill. In order to answer the first research
problem, the researcher used close-ended questionnaire and FGD to gather the data. The questionnaires were distributed to 29 students from the total 33 students
of Arjuna Vocational High School of 11
th
grade. Through the data that was gained from the questionnaire and FGD, the students built up their perception that
speaking is difficult. It was concluded from the students ’ answers that they did not
have much time to practice their speaking. For further explanation, the data is presented into three parts, namely: 1 the nature of perception, 2 factors that
influence perception, and 3 students’ attitude to solve their problem in mastering
speaking skill.

1. The Nature of Perception

speaking skill, especially on the nature of perception. It is stated by Ferianda 2013 that perception can also be determined by looking at these points, such as
environment, interaction, and also behavior, that in this case, happen to the students as the nature of perception. Numbers 1 up to 7 investigate
the students’ eagerness in learning, interaction, and the environment in which shows the nature

38 The first statement was about their interest in the English subject. From
the respondents’ answers, the researcher found that 27 students 93.10 agreed, 1 student 3.44 strongly agreed, 1 student 3.44 disagreed, and none of the
students 0 who chose strongly disagreed. The data showed that more than 90 of the students were interested in English subject. This result was proven by the
data of FGD that was conducted by inviting 6 students as the classroom representatives to strengthen the data. Most of the students said that they were
interested in learning English subject. All of the students have already learnt English since elementary school from the first grade until now, which means that
the students have learnt for 11 years. However, when the researcher asked about what they have learnt for 11 years, the students just mentioned very limited
materials that they remembered. The second statement
was about the students’ interest in learning and mastering English subject
. From the respondents’ answers, the researcher found that 25 students 86.20 agreed, 3 students 10.34 strongly agreed, 1 student
3.44 disagreed and none of the student 0 who chose strongly disagreed. The data showed that the students were interested in learning and mastering
English subject actively. This data was proven by the result of FGD, that the students were interested in learning and mastering English language. Most of
them live in Kaliurang, so there are many possibilities for them to meet foreigners and communicate with them. Besides, the students also love to listen to western
songs and watch movies. It actually forms the habit of learning and motivates them to learn English language. It will be explained more on the third statement.
