the combination of closed- and open-type items.
3. Interview
Interview is used to gain data as the continuation of questioning process by questionnaire. The researcher used semi structured interview to grasp more
information which was possibly not written or stated on the questionnaire. The researcher asked a series of structured questions and then ask for deeper answer
with open-form questions to obtain additional information Gall, et., all. 2007: 246. In this continuation process, the researcher interviewed both groups of
participants but in smaller amount of participants.
a. Interview with Students

worksheets among students. The features of interview were the same as the questionnaire, but for the first group, the questions focuses on personal feeling,
responses to the use of worksheets and their understanding on the importance of independent learning. There would be 23 guideline questions to answer by the
students.
b. Interview with Lecturers
From the second group of participants, three lecturers from the previous data gathering process were interviewed as the representatives. The interview
features were mostly the same as for the students’, but there is one additional part

designing and using worksheet. The blueprint can bee seen in Appendix 8.
For the second group, the questions were focused on lecturers’ expectation, worksheets implementation in class, the importance of independent

researcher may stimulate the subject or participant to greater insight into his own experiences, and thereby explore significant areas is not anticipated in the original
plan of investigation.” The researcher added some additional questions to dig deeper to
participants’ perception. According to Young 1966 which is quoted by Best 1970: 186, the interview is, in a sense, an oral questionnaire. Instead of writing
the response, the participants or the interviewees give the needed information verbally in a face-to-face relationship. In conducted the interview, the researcher
used voice recorder to help him keeping the information from the interviewee.
