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.

3. Interview

The instrument used to investigate the research was an interview. It was chosen by the researcher because an interview is one of the major gathering data of the study and also to validate observations Lodico et al. 2006. It could be done by a person or group of persons. According to Seliger and Shohamy 1989, an interview is conducted to get information from the subject by talking to them. The respondents were selected based on their answers in the questionnaires that had been distributed before on June 20 th , 2016. An interview was used to get the deeper information from the respondents‟ experiences. It was used to answer, support and confirm the results of questionnaires about the extent to which the students display their autonomy and how the reflection facilitates learner autonomy in the Micro Teaching class of the English Language Education Study Program in Sanata Dharma University. The interview was done on July 4 th and 14 th , 2016. The interview was done one by one to make the respondent comfortable to tell about their opinions and experiences to the interviewer. It could be done after the researcher analyzed the questionnaire. The interviewer formulated some questions to guide the interviewer to get opinions from the respondents. Creswell 2003 says that interview involves open-ended questions which are intended to elicit views and opinions from the participant of the study. The data of interviewed would be more specific and also personal. There were four main points which guided the researcher to do an interview. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
