ABSTRAK
Rahmasari, Ajeng Fitria. 2016. Tipe-Tipe Pertanyaan Guru dalam Aktivitas Kelas
Bahasa Inggris di SMA N 3 Pati tahun ajaran 2015/2016 . Skripsi.
Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu
Pendidikan, Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (1) Drs. Muh
Syafei, M.Pd., (2) Agung Dwi Nurcahyo, S.S, M.Pd.
Key words: Pertanyaan Guru, Tipe Pertanyaan, Fungsi Pertanyaan
Pertanyaan berfungsi sebagai cara guru untuk mengontrol interaksi di
dalam kelas. Pertanyaan guru yang efektif diyakini dapat memusatkan perhatian
siswa untuk memahami materi pelajaran, membangun rasa ingin tahu, mendorong
imaginasi, dan mendorong mereka untuk mencari pengetahuan baru. Tetapi,
pertanyaan yang efektif tidak selalu terjadi. Jadi, sebagai seorang guru, pertanyaan
penting untuk mengelola kelas dan membuat siswa lebih aktif di dalam kelas.
Dalam mengajar, guru mungkin menerapkan pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang berbeda
dan itu tergantung pada situasi di dalam kelas dan guru itu sendiri.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah: (i) untuk menemukan tipe-tipe
pertanyaan yang digunakan oleh guru SMA N 3 Pati tahun ajaran 2015/2016
selama proses belajar mengajar (ii) untuk menemukan fungsi-fungsi pertanyaan
yang digunakan oleh guru SMA N 3 Pati tahun ajaran 2015/2016 selama proses

belajar mengajar.
Penelitian ini adalah sebuah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Data dari
penelitian ini adalah pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang digunakan oleh guru bahasa
Inggris dan sumber data berupa percakapan tiga guru. Penulis mengamati dan
merekam tiga guru ketika mereka mengajar di dalam kelas dan membuat
transkripnya. Itu dilakukan dalam dua sesi di setiap kelas yang mana durasi setiap
sesinya adalah 90 menit. Untuk menganalisis data, penulis mengidentifikasi
pertanyaan guru, mengklasifikasi, menganalisis, dan membuat kesimpulan.
Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tipe pertanyaan yang
digunakan oleh tiga guru SMA N 3 Pati tahun ajaran 2015/2016 adalah dominan
pada tipe pertanyaan procedural dengan jumlah 283 pertanyaan. Ini berarti bahwa
guru fokus pada pengelolaan kelas, sehingga mereka bisa mengontrol siswa
mereka. Hasil penelitian dari fungsi pertanyaan menunjukkan bahwa tiga guru
bahasa Inggris SMA N 3 Pati tahun ajaran 2015/2016 cenderung menggunakan
strategi yang sama dalam pertanyaan meskipun pada tingkatan, kelas, dan sesi
yang berbeda. Pertanyaan sebagai fungsi instructional menjadi yang paling
menonjol dengan jumlah 296 pertanyaan. Itu berarti bahwa guru bisa menuntun
siswa untuk memahami materi baru lebih baik dan lebih mendalam.
Pada akhir penelitian ini, penulis menyarankan bahwa guru bisa
menggunakan pertanyaan yang bervariasi yang mana tidak hanya fokus pada

pengelolaan kelas, tetapi juga fokus dalam mendorong siswa untuk berfikir,
sehingga akan menjadi seimbang.

Questions serve as the way of the teachers for controlling the classroom
interaction. Effective teachers’ questioning is believed to focus students' attention
to understand lesson content, arouse their curiosity, stimulate their imagination,
and motivate them to seek out new knowledge. But, effective questioning does not
always happen. So, as a teacher, it is important to manage the class and make
students be more active in the class. In teaching, the teachers may implement
different questions and it depends on the situation and teachers themselves.
The objective of this research: (i) to find out kinds of questioning types

used by the teachers of SMA N 3 Pati in academic year 2015/2016 during
teaching and learning process (ii) to find out the questioning functions used by the
teachers of SMA N 3 Pati in academic year 2015/2016 during teaching and
learning process.
This is a descriptive qualitative research. The data of this research is
teachers’ questions used by the English teachers. The data source is three
teachers’ talks. The writer did observation and video recording three teachers
when they taught in the classroom and transcribed it. It is conducted in 2 sessions
in each class which each session is 90 minutes. To analyze the data, she identifies

English teachers of SMA N 3 Pati in academic year 2015/2016 are dominant in
procedural question with the total of frequency is 283 questions. It means that the
teachers focus on managing the class, so they can control their students. The result
of question functions shows that three English teachers of SMA N 3 Pati in
academic year 2015/2016 use the same strategy in questioning although in
different levels, classes, and sessions. Questions as instructional function are the
dominant one with the total of frequency is 296 questions. It means that the

of questions which are not only focus on managing the class, but also focus on
motivating the students to think, so it will be balance.
