External Factors The Implications of the Problems faced by the Respondents

57 Hence, the problem can also appear because the respondents were over confident and thought that they have mastered the concept well, so that they did not read the related concepts.

2. External Factors

The respondents have passed both LPD and Micro Teaching course, but they did not practice how to teach the students using 2013 Curriculum. “Di LPD, sudah belajar, kayanya. Cuma untuk penerapan dan mengaplikasiannya waktu itu kan ada kelas Micro Teaching, tetapi waktu di Micro Teaching masih pakai KTSP. ” Ant In LPD class, I have learnt it, but we did the implementation in another class, Micro Teaching. Unfortunately, in the Micro Teaching class, I learnt KTSP instead of 2013 Curriculum. Ant It implies that the respondents maybe have some difficulties or obstacles when absorbing the knowledge form the courses. It is because the lecturers did not give chances for the students to have teaching practice in implementing 2013 Curriculum. It caused the respondents not to do their best for their Practice Teaching Program because they found some problems. The lack of practice made them found some difficulties. On the other hand, the problems also came from the teachers who have been the advisors for Practice Teaching Program. They did not give enough input, feedback or comments fot the students who join Practice Teaching Program. “… gurupun juga sudah memberi tahu kami kalau memang siswa disini susah untuk diajak bekerjasama. Jadi mau nggak mau, kita harus ngikutin mereka dengan cara mereka tapi, dengan tidak meninggalkan materi yang harus disampein.” Fo “… the teachers also told us that the students cannot be cooperative in the class. So, we as the teachers should do the teaching learning PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 58 process based on their characters, but we also should consider the matertials in that day. ” Fo The teachers from the school did not give good advice for the respondents when they found some problems in implementing Scientific Approach. Fo said that the teacher allowed himher not to implement Scinetific Approach in the class since the students in the class were not cooperative. Even the teacher asked himher to conduct two activities in the class; the first activity was explaining the material and the second activity was watching English movies or videos. It means that the teacher did not support him to implement Scientific Approach and even let him to do other activities which were not relevant with the teaching-learning process. The problems faced by the respondents also came from the situation of the class. The number of the students in the class made the respondents had problems on making students active or listen to the respondents as their teacher. “…Tapi karena susah banget ya karena saya mengendalikan 44 orang dan harus keliling dan mengikuti instruksi saya di sekolah itu tu susah gitu. ” Aw “… but it was difficult because I handled 44 students in the class and I should also check whether they understand me or not. And asking them to listen to and do my instructions was also difficult.” Aw The problem about facilities occurred from the school where the respondents joined the Practice Teaching Program. The schools had lack of facilities for supporting Scientific Approach process. The lack of facilities could be because the schools have not had enough funds for buying supporting facilities. 59 Furthermore, the lack of facilities from the schools could be also because the teachers and the students in the schools could not maintain the facilities they had, so the facilities were not able to be used anymore. In the reflection, Fo said that in the school where he did the Practice Teaching Program, it had lack of facility in order to support the teaching and learning process. 60

CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter contains two parts, namely conclusions and recommendation. The first part is conclusions. In this part the researcher summarizes the major findings of the research. The second part is recommendation and implication, which spells out the recommendations for future research and current practice.

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
