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
24 The observation was chosen because it helped the researcher to see the real
picture about the use of reflection to facilitate learner autonomy in the Micro Teaching class. The researcher investigated the use of reflection as a way to
facilitate learner autonomy in their learning process, their performances and their teaching simulations in the Micro Teaching course. The researcher also
distributed the questionnaires to the participants. The researcher employed the questionnaire and made it in the form of Likert scale. It helped the researcher to
gather the information by having the participants ‟ responses to a list of questions.
The researcher employed interview to confirm what the participants stated in the questionnaires. The respondents were three students. The multiple sources and
data collections were employed by the researcher to make sure the reliability of the research.
1. Observation
The observation was chosen as an observational protocol to collect and gather the data related to in the use of reflection to facilitate autonomy in the
Micro Teaching class E. It helped the researcher to see the real picture about the use of reflection which facilitates autonomy in the Micro Teaching class E. The
researcher investigated the use of reflection to facilitate autonomy in students‟
learning processes, their performances and their teaching simulations in the Micro Teaching course. According to Creswell 2003, there were reflective
notes which were about researcher‟s personal thoughts such as speculation, feeling, problems, ideas, impression and prejudices in the observation. The
observations were done on March 3

2. Questionnaire
The researcher chose the questionnaire as one of the instruments used in the research. According to Ary et al. 2002, a questionnaire is an instrument to
gather information by having the participants respond to a list of questions. The questionnaires were distributed to students in the Micro Teaching class E. The
questionnaires were made by some criteria to be the first step in to collect the respondents to go to the next step. The questionnaire contained the closed-ended
questions. The questionnaires used Likert scale which had the rank of one up to five.
It was used because the responses of the participants were valued as strongly disagree, disagree, uncertain, agree and strongly agree. There were twenty nine
closed-ended questions. Lodico et al. 2006, p.107 explain that Likert scale is the most widely used scale in survey research and certainly the one that has found its
way into popular culture. The questions were formulated based on the theories that had been found by the researcher. The questionnaires were distributed on
June 20
th
, 2016. The questionnaires helped the researcher to investigate the research questions in this research. There were five main points which guided the
researcher to make questionnaires.
