A. Conclusions

The research question from this study is what the ELESP students’ problem are in implementing Scientific Approach. Hence, the objective of this study is to investigate what ELESP students’ problems are when implementing Scientific Approach in Practice Teaching Program. After conducting the interview, the researcher found that there were four problems faced by the respondents when implementing Scientific Approach. All of the respondents had experienced the same problems when implementing Scientific Approach in Practice Teaching Program. The first problem is that the respondents had lack of knowledge about the concept of Scientific Approach and 2013 Curriculum and the lack of knowledge caused some problems faced by the respondents. The second problem faced by the respondents was facilities from the school. The respondents had difficulties on conducting some activities related to 61 Scientific Approach. The difficulties came because the facilities from the school did not support the process of Scientific Approach. The next problem is miss conception of Scientific Approach. The respondents miss understood the concept of some steps in Scientific Approach. Most of them gave some exercises for the students. In contrast, the activities that should be conducted in this stage is collecting the further information related to the topic. The students can get the information from books, media, newspaper, internet or even experiment. The data or the information collected by students is to answer the list of questions that have been made in the previous process. The last problem is about teachers’ capacity on making the students active. The respondents found the students in their class tended to be passive and did not ask some questions related to the topic in questioning step. In this step, the teachers’ role is to motivate the students and encourage the students to be active. In this step, the teachers have the role as the motivator for the students to develop their attitude, skill, and knowledge. Therefore, it could be implied that the respondents were lack of practice because in order to have better capacity on making students active, the respondents should practice directly.
