2. Preparing the research instrument
There were two research instruments used by the researcher, namely reflection and interview. The reflection was designed to get the data needed. Then,
the interview was conducted as the evidence of the reflection.
3. Using the instrument
The researcher asked the participants to make reflection. The reflection was to share the participants‟ experiences in Structure II, understand their
weaknesses and strengths, and explore the information in depth. It was held on 19
th
February until 3
rd
April, five times for each participant. Furthermore, the interview was to support the reflection. It was held on the last meeting of this
research. The reflection and interview were done in Bahasa Indonesia in order to
prevent the misunderstanding of the participants about the questions and answer. It made the participants feel more comfortable to answer and share their
experiences honestly.
4. Analyzing the data
The data obtained from two phases, namely analyzing document results of students
‟ reflections and interviewing three students, were analyzed by comparing
them to the theories. Then, the researcher reported the results of data analysis in research results and discussion after completing all procedures.
5. Making Conclusions
The researcher made conclusions from the results after analyzing the data. That was used to see whether the research problems were answered.

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents and discusses the results of the research which are obtained from the reflection and the interview guided by the researcher. The
researcher elaborated the use of reflection to enhance the students‟ self-awareness
into four main parts. First, the researcher discussed the students‟ awareness of
many problems they faced in learning structure. Second, the researcher discussed the students‟ awareness of the importance of problem solving strategies in
learning. Third, the researcher elaborated the intrinsic motivation that appeared in the reflection. The last, the researcher deliberated the importance of reflecting
student‟s feelings in learning. There were five phases conducted in this study, namely compiling,
disassembling, reassembling, interpreting and concluding. After conducting the first and the second phase, the researcher moved to the third phase, namely
reassembling. In this phase, the researcher clustered the data into four substantive themes. The themes are all about the use of reflection to enhance students‟ self-
awareness in learning structure II.
A. Reflections Raise Students’ Awareness of the Problems They Faced in
Learning Structure
This part discusses the problems faced by the students in learning Structure II. In this part, there are five problems namely poor time management,
