CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the methodology of this research. There are six major things that are discussed in this part. Those are research method, research
setting, research participant, instrument and data gathering technique, data analysis technique, and research procedure.
A. Research Method
The researcher used a qualitative method. According to Ary, Jacobs, and Razavieh 2002, the goal of the qualitative method is a holistic picture and depth
understanding, rather than a numeric data analysis. It is also supported by Fraenkel and Wallen 2009, p.380 saying that qualitative research is research
where the researcher investigates the quality of the relationship, activities, situations or materials. The researcher used the qualitative research to get deep
information about the use of reflection to facilitate learner autonomy in the Micro Teaching class. Holiday 2000, p.5 adds that qualitative a study fosters the
researchers to achieve deep investigation of human behavior within a specific natural social setting.
The data were in the form of qualitative data. Qualitative can be used to produce data that will be rich in the description of the issue in the research
Lodico, Spaulding Voegtle, 2006. The researcher chose the qualitative method to get rich information through the respondents. The researcher believed
22 that it may provide deeper information about the use of reflection to facilitate
learner autonomy in the Micro Teaching class. A qualitative method is used to help the researcher to get variant problems which relate to the education field and
human behavior Sukardi, 2003, p.157. According to Lodico et al. 2006, p.116, qualitative data are collected in the form of words andor pictures. A qualitative
approach is a way of collecting the experience of the respondents.
B. Research Setting
The researcher conducted the study in the English Language Education Study Program which is part of Faculty of Teachers Training and Education in
Sanata Dharma University Yogyakarta. It was done during the even semester in the 20152016 academic year. The research was conducted in the Micro Teaching
class E. The researcher chose class E because the students wrote several reflections in the Micro Teaching class.
C. Research Participant
The participants were the English Language Education Study Program in Sanata Dharma University who taking the Micro Teaching course. The
population was the students in the sixth semester of the even semester in the 20152016 academic year. There were some classes of the Micro Teaching
courses in the English Language Education Study Program. The researcher took one class which implemented reflection to be the sample of the research. The
researcher chose the Micro Teaching class E as the research participants because PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
23 the class experienced the use of reflection which can facilitate learner autonomy
in their learning processes. The class consisted of sixteen students. The participants were able to provide meaningful data in this study.
The researcher implemented purposive sampling. According to Wahyuni 2011, purposive sampling is one of the most common sampling strategies in
selecting groups participant according to pre-selected criteria relevant to a particular research question. In addition, Fraenkel and Wallen 2009 state that
purposive sampling is a simple selection in which the researchers use judgment that they believe will provide the data needed. Patton 2002 says that the power
of purposive sampling is deriving from the emphasis on in-depth understanding. It also led to select information-rich cases for an in-depth study. The researcher
took three respondents based on their answers. It was used to get the further information from the respondents as representative respondents to complete the
data.
D. Instrument and Data Gathering Technique
The researcher employed three sources in order to allow the data triangulation. Data triangulation allowed the researcher to obtain complete
information. According to Bogdan and Biklen 2003, many sources of data are beneficial compared to a single source because multiple sources lead
comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon which is studied by the researcher. The researcher obtained the data by conducting the observation,
distributing the questionnaire and conducting the interview. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
