CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents introductions that consist of research context,
research focus, research objectives, the significance of study, and the
definition of key term.
A. Research Context
There are many students difficult to read a book. There are
some factors that influence the students are not reading a book, such as they
are busy with their hand phone, busy with their job, lazy and they have not
much time for study. The same problem is like in Institute of Islamic State Pamekasan,
the students do not have spirit to study and also to increase their ability in
English, especially to read a book. Actually the keys from a success is reading
a book, but in the reality reading a book is not easy, may be because the text
is difficult to understand, or the language used is too difficult to understand.
The difficulties whose experienced by
students, the lecturers also feel the impact, such as the lecturers feel that
the student difficult to understand related about materials that the lecturers
explains in the class. So there are some lecturers have strategy to make the
students have desire to more diligent
and excited to study. In this case, several lecturers which teach by using
stimulation question strategy to make a students reads a book, the lecturer considers
that using the strategy to
create active learning in the class. Because the strategy makes the students
enthusistic to read a book so that the students can be easy to understood about
materials if they join lesson in the class.
There are many cases that can meet about
students difficult to read a book and also many students can study with forcing
or reinforcement from the teacher or the lecturer. This case happens especially in TBI C
class at first semester in quantitative course. Many students that can study
about material of linguistics because the lecturer forces and reinforces the
students to make a resume by stimulation question strategy. And the result make
the students afraid of not making the material
resume,
so that the strategy called success in the class because in the reality the
students more active than before and also than another lesson maybe because the
students have read about materials based on stimulation question
that the lecturers give.
I was also one of the
students TBI C class at first semester at the past time, the researcher also
had experience about difficulties to read a book, the researcher is very lazy
to read a book because the researcher feels difficult to understand about materials,
and also the researcher has not time to read a book so that the researcher just
join and enjoy the lesson in the class without nothing that the researcher reads.
The researcher does not care about all of the materials in her department but
there is strategy that makes a lecture becomes exciting every meeting, the
strategy is stimulation question strategy that gives by the lecturer. The
strategy makes her more diligent to read a book and also makes her become
active in the class based the materials that the researcher reads before, if
there is something that the researcher does not understand and it makes the
researcher has opportunity to ask to the lecturer,
and also makes
her easy to understand about the materials taught if the lecturer explains during the class.
The reasearch has the same purpose that
said about pre-questioning can make a students are also more active in the class. It means that pre-questioning
is kind of question to helps the students‘ motivation in the
process of reading the material easily.
Pre-questioning involves presenting students with a set of written questions or
having students generate their own questions on the topic of the reading
passage. The purpose is to make the students aware of the language is used to
convey meaning and recover meaning from a text. Pre-questioning functions to
gets students to predict within a context area what the text will be about
before studying the text.
Any previous researches which have similarity
with this research by Siti Megawati on 2017 entitle The Use of Question and
Answer Strategy on The Student Speaking Skill at The Seventh Grade of SMP
Ma’arif 2 Pamekasan. The previous researched on question and answer strategy,
where the teacher or the student asks
and answer together orally during teaching learning process, whereas this
research analyzes the
students answer the question in the initiate of teaching learning process. In
the other hand, the previous research is
to
measure how fluency and understand the students talk about the certain topic.
While, this research to measure how know the students about the topic which
is going to be learnt, it also to decide
whether the students already read or study the
materials before joining the class.
From the explanation above,
the researcher interests to conduct a research entitle “The Implementation of Stimulation Question Strategy in The Introduction
to Linguistic Class at TBI First Semester of IAIN Madura”.
B.
Research Focuses
Research problems are the
educational issues, controversies, or concerns that guide the need for
conducting a study.1 In the brief differents the follow, consider differences
among these parts of research :
1.
A
research topic is the broad subject matter adressed by the study. Maria, for
example, seeks to study weapon possession by students in the schools.
2.
A
research problem is a general educational issue, concern, controversy addressed
in research the narrows the topic. The problem Maria addresses is the
escalating violence in schools due, in part, to students possessing weapons.
3.
A
purpose is the major intent or objective of the study used to address the
problem. Maria might state the purpose of the study as follows: “The purpose of
my study will be identify factors that influence the extent to which students
carry weapons in high schools”.
4.
Research questions narrow the purpose into
specific questions that the researcher would like answered or addressed in the
study. Maria might ask, “Do peers influence students to carry weapons?”[1]
Once
a research problem is selected, the researcher has consequently selected the
opic of the research, the area of the research, sourcesto collect data from, technique of
data collection, instrument to collect data, and the technique to analyze data.[2]
So, based on the resarch focus, as follow:
a. How does the lecturer of Introduction to
Linguistic class implement the stimulating questions strategy at TBI First
Semester of IAIN Madura?
b. How is the student’s response on the
implementation of stimulating question strategy in the class of Introduction to
Linguistic class at TBI First Semester of IAIN Madura?
C.
Research Objectives
Creswell
states that research objective is a statement of intend for study
that declares specific goals that investigator plans to achieve in a study.
Research objective is used to find out the solving problem of research.[3] Based on the research
problems above, the researcher formulates the purposes the study below :
1.
To know the implemention of stimulation questions strategy in The
Introduction to Linguistic Class at TBI First Semester of IAIN Madura.
2.
To investigate the students’ response to the implementation of
stimulation question strategy in the introduction to linguistic class at TBI
First Semester of IAIN Madura?
D.
Significances of Study
Significance
of the study is a probability level that reflects the maximum risk you are
willing to take that any observeed differences are due to chance.[4]
This is the next important thing after research objective that can be reached,
and the research focuses can be answered accurately. Commonly, there are two
kinds of the significance of the research, those are: a) Theoretically, and b) practically.[5] In this part, the researcher described about the
implementation and the influence from a stimulation questions strategy. Theoretically
is a significance of study as knowledge, and practically is significance of
study to people or the researcher.
1.
Theoretically
Theoritically, it hopes to increase knowledge of teaching learning
process of reading particularly reading comprehension could be succes and
effective. The result of the study could be reference to the readers and
everyone who wants to conduct a study. Appropriate with definition of research
as john W. Creswell told on his book Educational research that, “Research is a
process of a steps used to collect and analize information to increase our understanding
of issues or topics”.[6]
2.
Practically
a.
For lecturer
Generally,
the result of the study hopes could be valuable knowledge to improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of reading strategy are used by the lecturer at IAIN Madura. The researcher hopes
the study in teaching quantitative course can more understanding about the
materials by using stimulation questions strategy. Especially the students can
have a strategy to reading so can achieve about reading comprehension.
b. For Students
The students can more understand about
material and also make the student more diligent because there is forced from
the lecturer. And the stimulation in the class as a assignment for students.
c. For Researcher
The result of the study can be good
experience and also add the researcher understood about the influences of
stimulations question strategy for reading and also to know about the
implementation of stimulation question strategy in teaching learning
activities.
E.
Scope and Limitation
Scope is the range of thing that a subject organization. In the
study, scope refers to parameters, which the researcher focuses seek to be
resolved would be fit within certain parameters. Scope is needed to make it as
clear as possible what would be studied and what factors are within the
accepted range of the study. And limitation is a fact or contion that limits
something. In the study, the scope in this study
is the implementation of stimulation question strategy on introduction to linguistics
learning and the limitation is limited to the C TBI class at the first
semester.
F.
Definition of the Key Terms
Creswell
suggest us to begin our research by narrowing our topic to a few key terms using one or two word or short phrase.[7] Therefore,
in order to avoid misunderstanding in terms used in the study, the researcher
considers that it helps the readers .
The definition of key terms considered as follow:
1. Stimulation is the way to help students do
something.
2. Stimulation question strategy is one of the
strategy which used by lecturer in teaching learning activity by spreading
comprehension question.
3. Introduction to linguistic class is one of
compulsory subject for TBI students at the first semester of IAIN Madura.
