The table above shows us the DRs showed by the students. First when the teacher asked the students to form a group, some of the students were standing and
looking for their group quickly and there were also some students who were yelling and said in Bahasa Indonesia,
“Wey, tadi aku di group mana? “Hi guys, which one is my group?” while walking and looking for which groups they belonged to.
Second when the teacher was delivering the material; some of the students were looking at the teacher and the others were opening and closing their books frequently.
Those actions such as looking at the teacher and opening books indicated that the

These actions showed that even the students were making noise but in this situation, the teacher ‘wanted’ these responses to be done by the students.
The fourth DR shown was when the teacher was asking the students to think together, some of the students were discussing with their friends or speaking up with
the members of the group related to the topic. Whereas some students were busily opening their dictionary or reading handouts and writing notes, while the others were
chatting with friends and laughing by looking at the handouts. The fifth DR was when the teacher was mentioning a certain number to answer the questions; the
students were standing up quickly; some of them were quickly answering the question or just looking at herhis notes. All of those responses were desired by the
teacher. All these desired responses could be further classified into some sub-
headings. The idea was also based on what Borich as cited in Muhammad’s journal
2014 said that both DRs and UDRs could be divided into verbal or non-verbal responses. A verbal response shown as DR is called as Verbal Desired Response
VDR, whereas Nonverbal DR is named NVDR. Further explanation about the differences of those two type of responses are as follows:
