CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents the results and the discussion based on the data collection. There are three sections presented to answer the research question. The
first is data presentation of the questionnaire, the second is data presentation of the interview, and the third is discussion. In detail, the data presentation of
questionnaire and interview sections discuss what the researcher found and obtained. Then, the last section which is discussion presents the analysis of the
questionnaire and interview results in order to answer the research question stated in the research problem. The researcher aims to know
what the students’ perception on the effect of learning process in Play Performance Course on the development
o f students’ leadership skill is.
A. Data Presentation of the Questionnaire
In this part, the researcher pays attention to all results of students’ perception
on the statements in the questionnaire. Firstly, the researcher tries to find out the students’ perception on the learning process applied in Play Performance Course
using some statements in the questionnaire. The statements are related to the learning process in Play Performance Course that the students had experienced.
Those results are summarized in Table 4.1 as follows. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

95 Gallagher 1981 talks about one of the development factors which is social
experience that could be gained through interaction with people. This interaction can be acquired through a direct experience. From the first point in Table 4.1, all
respondents 100 agree that they learned through direct experience in Play Performance Course. In detail, 63 respondents strongly agree and 37
respondents agree with the statement. This shows the fact that the learning process in Play Performance Course is implemented through direct experience. This direct
experience is strengthened with the next statement Appendix B related to the Natural Method pointed out by Richards and Rodgers 2001. No respondent
disagrees with the statement while 96 respondents agree that they learned English language through an action in the Play Performance Course.
Since the direct experience process is one of the development factors, it shows that Play Performance Course certainly develops students which can be seen
in the second point of Table 4.1. The statement related to this point is added to find out
the students’ perception on their development during the whole learning process of Play Performance Course both outside and inside the class. Out of seventy six
students, seventy two students 94 state that they experience development. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
After the discussion of the development through direct experience, the principles Ignatian Pedagogy as the approach applied in Play Performance Course
are also included in the questionnaire. According to Ignatian Pedagogy, competence, compassion, and conscience are three human characters which are
expected to be developed by the students during the application of Ignatian Pedagogy. The results show that the respondents developed their competence,
conscience, and compassion during the learning process of Play Performance Course. Although result does not represent the actual development since the
development cannot be seen regularly by the researcher from the beginning until the end of the course, 91 to 96
students’ responses can present their perception. In short, all results and discussion above explain how the learning process
of Play Performance Course is perceived by the students. They conclude that they learned through direct experience and they were developed through the learning
process. Moreover, the students also confirm that Ignatian Pedagogy was applied in Play Performance Course.
Then, the next results are related to students’ perception on the development of their leadership skill.

In leadership skill aspect related to Salancik and Pfeffer’s 1977 Strategic
Contingencies Model of Leadership, the finding shows that the students learn to solve a critical problems through the learning process in Play Performance Course
with statistically 97 respondents agree or strongly agree with that. The next results are
the students’ responses on their leadership skill development through the learning process in Play Performance Course based on Hugh
es’ criteria of basic leadership skill 2002. Table 4.2 shows that the respondents have positive
perception on nine out of twelve of basic leadership skill criteria. The first criteria is learning from experience. Here, a person can create
opportunities to get feedback especially from those who work with him, learn from others, and develop a systematic plan to prioritize the importance of different goal.
There are four statements in the questionnaire which are related to that criteria and the detail can be seen in the questionnaire blueprint Appendix A. From the first
statement, 39 respondents agree and 55 others strongly agree that the learning process of Play Performance Course enable them to learn from experience.
To understand the information deeper about learning from experience, the respondents give response to three elements which are related to it. First, 96
respondents can learn to learn from others during the learning process of Play Performance Course. Second, 94 respondents learn to create opportunities to get
feedback in the learning process of Play Performance Course. Third, 93 respondents can learn to develop a systematic plan because of the learning process
inside and outside the class of Play Performance. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
The second criteria of Hugh es’ basic leadership skill is the effective
communication. In result, 93 respondents agree that the learning process of Play Performance Course makes them learn to make an effective communication. In
detail, leaders and followers tend to actively engage in two-way communication. It is strengthened in the next statement. Here, 96 respondents agree that the learning
process of Play Performance Course makes them learn how to engage in two-way communication. The next criteria is about listening. In here, a leader demonstrates
to be a good listener who is an active listener. He will also avoid becoming defensive. The questionnaire result shows that 90 respondents learn to be active
listeners through the learning process of Play Performance Course. Related to defensiveness, 93 respondents learn to be more open-minded through the learning
process of Play Performance Course. From the assertiveness point, there are two statements in the questionnaire.
The first statement shows result that 90 respondents agree that they learn to know where and when not to stand up for their own rights during the learning process of
Play Performance Course. T he other statement’s result shows that 20 respondents
choose neutral as their responses. The next points are two statements of providing constructive feedback, two statements of building technical competence, a
statement of building effective relationships with superiors, a statement of building effective relationships with peers, and a statement of setting goals Appendix A.
The response result of those seven statements of five leadership skill criteria are all above 90 positive.
Besides, there are three criteria which still have positive response but the percentages are below 90. The result of one statement related to assertiveness
shows that 20 respondents choose neutral as their responses and the positive response is 79. Next, the other statements with positive responses below 90 are
from the effective stress management criteria. There are three statements for this criteria and all of them had more than 15 neutral response. In one of those
statements, 21 respondents chose neutral and 7 respondents disagree that they learn to monitor their grou
p members’ stress levels and what the causes are. The criteria about punishment also has various responses with 82 positive response.
Then, the other criteria related to conducting a meeting is material preparation for the group’s meeting. There is 71 positive response and 28 neutral response.
Besides the basic leadership skill criteria which have been discussed before, there are also some criteria of advanced leadership skill. The criteria of advanced
leadership skill used in the questionnaire statements are still possibly be experienced by informal leaders. As a result, 90 respondents give positive
response in all of the statements related to criteria of advanced leadership skill. In statements related to delegating and managing conflict, 92 respondents agree that
they learn to trust their friend and delegate some works to them and 91 respondents agree that they learn to manage conflict during the learning process of
Play Performance Course. More than 50 respondents strongly agree with the statements related to
criteria about negotiation, problem solving, and creativity improvement. Finally, the last number is about
diagnosing performance problems in individuals, groups, PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
and organizations. Although only 36 respondents strongly agree with the statement, but the 54 others agree with that. The summary of the results are shown
in Table 4.2. It shows that almost all respondents give positive response in all of the statements related to the criteria of advanced leadership skill. The response in each
criteria is similar. The next result in table 4.3 that is discussed is the response of the students
related to four aspects of Leader Behavior according to Daft 2015.
