In the following section, the researcher described the feedback the students received based on the analysis of the interview transcript.
2. The Description of the Feedback the Students Received Based on the Analysis of the Interview
To verify the students’ response in the questionnaire, the researcher conducted an interview and found such interesting findings. Three of the
interviewees admitted that they considered video camera as an evaluation tool. Similar to the other students’ response in the questionnaire, the feedback they
obtained was mostly about their teaching strengths, their teaching weaknesses, the classroom circumstances, and the “students’ behaviour. They said:
“I transferred and copied my recorded teaching practice in the VCD format. I watched it at home. I watched my recorded teaching practice by comparing
with my friends’ and lecturer observation sheet results. I searched my mistakes by focusing my intended part I want to focus as I could forward and
rewind the action for many times until I found what I wanted to know.” “After watching my own performance, I could identify my strengths and
weaknesses in teaching, enrich my knowledge about my own teaching capability based on peers’ and lecturer’s observation sheet. I tried to improve
my teaching skill and restate the way how I should teach by considering all the skills, the students, and the class circumstance.”
“This facility helped me focus on the intended action I want to watch. The feedback I got was my strengths and weaknesses in teaching, the un-aware of
students’ behaviours when I was teaching, the class circumstance when I was teaching.”
Nevertheless, there was an interviewee who admitted that he did not watch his recorded teaching practice. He did not watch his recorded teaching practice
performance because his lecturer and peers had considered that his performance was already good. Moreover, he did not have a DVD player to watch it and if he had to

watch it, he needed to see his schedule and watched his recorded teaching practice together with his friends. He considered it as ineffective way and it was time
consuming. He said, “My friends and my lecturer told me that I was good enough in teaching. So,
I did not watch my recorded teaching practice at all. In addition, I did not have any facility to watch my recorded teaching practice in the form of DVD.
If I wanted to watch it, I had to stand in line just to watch it in lab for hours. It was wasting my time. If it was in VCD format I thought I would watch my
recorded performance as I have the facility at home.”
The discussion section that follows tries to discuss the result of the analysis in the light of the theories described in Chapter II.
