CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the discussion about the method employed in this research. The detailed discussion includes the research method, research setting,
research participants, instrument and data gathering technique, and data analysis technique.
A. Research Method
In conducting this study, the researcher implemented qualitative research. Creswell 2014 states that qualitative research is an approach for exploring and
understanding the meaning individuals or groups ascribe to social or human problem. In addition, qualitative research focuses on reports of experience or on
data which cannot be adequately expressed numerically Hancock, Ockleford, and Windridge, 2009, p.6. The purpose of qualitative research is to give total picture
of the study in a detailed description so that readers have better understanding on the phenomenon Ary, Jacobs, Sorensen, and Razavieh, 2010. The researcher
employed qualitative research to understand and describe a phenomenon on students of micro teaching questioning in their teaching practice.
This study specifically belonged to content analysis. “Content analysis is
defined as a tool to determine the presence of certain words or concepts within texts or sets of texts” WritingCSU, 2004. Similarly, Rose, Spinks, and Canhoto
2015 mention that content analysis can be applied to all kinds of written text such as speeches, letters, or articles as well as texts in form of videos, pictures, or films.
The data were collected from the video recording of s tudents’ performance in Micro
Teaching course. The content that was analyzed is questioning part and its questions. It was transcribed into the written form to assist the researcher in
identifying levels of questioning and types of questions.
B. Research Setting
This research was conducted in PBI Micro Teaching class D Batch 2013 at Sanata Dharma University. There were 14 participants and each participant was
given one section and 25 minutes allocated time to have teaching practice.
C. Research Participants
The participants who were involved in this research were 14 students of Micro Teaching class D batch 2013. They were in sixth semester of English
Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University.
D. Research Instruments and Data Gathering Techniques.
1. Research Instruments
In order to gather the data and answer the research problems, the researcher used two instruments, namely video recording and observation table.
a. Video Recording of Micro Teaching 6

semester 2016
According to Smith as cited in Bowman, 1994, the use of mechanical recording devices usually gives greater flexibility than observation done by hand.
By using video, the researcher might have observation and research anywhere and anytime. In 2012, Jewitt says that a video can be used in a number of ways for
research including participatory video, videography, the use of existing video data, and video based on fieldwork. In this study, the data which were used were in form
