31 the close-ended questionnaire were presented on tables to enable easier further
analysis and readers to understand the findings. Differently, in analyzing the data based on the open-ended question, the
researcher presented them into a list of problems and selected the problems which were experienced the most by the respondents. After analyzing the questionnaire,
the researcher combined all the problems found based on the close-ended statements and the open-ended question to identify the major problems
experienced by the respondents. Moreover, in analyzing the data based on the interview, the researcher used an audio recorder to keep the data when doing the
interview. From the audio recordings, the researcher listened to them and read a list of an interview form before noting down the information and the data. In
addition, the researcher presented the results of the interview into description forms.
F. Research Procedure
In conducting this research, the researcher followed six major steps. Those six major steps are: 1 planning, 2 defining population, 3 sampling, 4
constructing the instruments, 5 conducting the survey, and 6 processing the data. The detailed procedure of this research could be seen as follows:
1. Planning
The researcher selected issues in education, especially, issues which were related to the English Language Education Study Program. After finding some
issues, the researcher decided to choose the issue about classroom management.
32 Having selected the issue, the researcher formulated two research problems in
order to make it specific. 2.
Defining Population In defining the population, the researcher chose the eighth semester
students of the English Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University as the main population. The eighth semester students were the relevant
population as the research aims were to find the practice teaching students’
classroom management problems during the School Practice Program and the solutions to the problems.
3. Sampling
After the population had been decided, the researcher chose the sampling. The first sampling method was an online questionnaire. However, since it was
likely to receive low responses, the researcher also used a convenience sampling method because it was not doable to use either a random sampling or a systematic
nonrandom sampling method. The samples were 44 ELESP students in the batch 2011 who have taken the School Practice Program subject.
4. Constructing the Instruments
In constructing the close-ended questionnaire, the researcher used the theory about four classroom management components by Hue and Li 2008. The
researcher did some consultations with the thesis advisor in order to gain feedback for the questionnaire. Moreover, the researcher constructed the interview based on
the problems found on the questionnaire results.
