Kata Kunci: Pertanyaan guru, Strategi bertanya
Pertanyaan guru adalah salah satu bagian terpenting dalam berinteraksi di
kelas. Guru bertanya untuk mempertahankan keterlibatan siswa selama proses
belajar, untuk mengekspresikan ide-ide dan pikiran-pikiran mereka, dan
mengevaluasi materi. Dalam pembelajaran di kelas, guru menggunakan strategi

bertanya untuk mengendalikan interaksinya. Dengan menggunakan strategi, guru
dapat mengatur kelas dan lebih mudah untuk memberikan materi kepada siswa.
Berdasarkan rumusan masalah, tujuan utama dari penelitian ini adalah
sebagai berikut: (i) untuk mendeskripsikan strategi bertanya guru dalam
pembelajaran di kelas dua belas dari SMA N 1 Jekulo Kudus pada tahun ajaran

Penelitian ini adalah sebuah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Data dari
penelitian ini adalah strategi bertanya guru. Sumber data berupa transkrip dari
wawancara ketiga guru Bahasa Inggris dari kelas dua belas di SMA N 1 Jekulo
Kudus pada tahun ajaran 2015/2016. Penulis mewawancarai ketiga guru Bahasa
Inggris dan merekamnya. Untuk menganalisis data, penulis mentranskrip hasil
wawancara, mengklasifikasi, menganalisis, dan membuat kesimpulan.
Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ketiga guru Bahasa Inggris di
SMA N 1 Jekulo Kudus menggunakan teori dari strategi bertanya guru. Ada lima
kategori, yaitu memilih tipe pertanyaan dan tingkat kesulitannya, melafalkan
pertanyaan dan menyampaikannya, memberikan waktu pada siswa untuk berfikir
(waktu tunggu), memilih seorang siswa untuk menjawab pertanyaan, jawaban
siswa dan memberikan timbal balik. Itu berarti bahwa teori dari strategi bertanya
guru adalah teori yang baik. Ketiga guru Bahasa Inggris dapat mengatur kelas,
menyampaikan pengetahuan, dan mengetahui karakter siswa dengan baik.

Pada akhir penelitian ini, penulis menyarankan bahwa guru dapat
melanjutkan untuk menggunakan strategi tersebut berdasarkan kebutuhan siswa.
Guru juga dapat mengembangkan pertanyaan berdasarkan pada materi di dalam
kelas.
