RESULT AND DISCUSSION OF RESEARCH




CHAPTER 1V
RESULT AND DISCUSSION OF RESEARCH
This chapter presents the result and discussion of research, the data collected from observation and interview which are discussed on previous chapter. This chapter is presented based on the research focus stated on the first chapter.

A.    Result of Research
In this part, the rearcher wiil explain the result of  the implementation of stimulation question strategy in introduction to linguistics class at TBI first semester of IAIN Madura and the student’s response.
To obtain the data related of the implementation of stimulation question strategy in introduction to linguistics, the researcher observed the lecturer and teaching and learning  process at TBI the first semester namely of C class as well as the researcher conducted this research of two meetings those are on 11st March 2019 and 18th  March  2018.
1.       The Result of Observation
a.      The First Observation
In this part the researcher would like to describe from the result of research that has gotten through observasion, interview and documentation. The researcher took the data from the lecturer and students activities when the teaching  learning  process is conducted.

1)      Pre-Teaching
Based on observation that the reasearcher got at the first meeting,
a)      The lecturer prapared the material taught before entering to the classroom
b)      The lecturer prepared handbook / hand out
c)      The lecturer entered to the class at 08: 00
d)     The lecturer begun the subject by saying Salam
e)      Firstly, the lectures asked one student to lead praying together
f)        And then, the lecturer said
Lecturer : good morning class?
Students : Good morning mam
Lecturer : how are you today?
Students : I am fine, thank you
g)      After that, the lecturer was cecking the attendence list of  students.
h)      Then, the lecturer asked to the students about readiness of the students to follow the introduction to linguistics class
i)        The next step, the lecturer reviewed the past material about linguistics by asking some stimulation questions to the students, as:
Teacher : “Do you still remember, what is phonetics”?
Student :  (Rise her hand) “is the study of the production of speech sound”.
Teacher  : “ Ok, Good! And what do you differ between place of articulation and manner of articulation?”
Students : (Rise her hand), “Based on what I read place of articulation is where the vocal tract is made while manner of articulation is how the airstream is modified by the vocal tract to produce the sound”.
Lecturer : Well done!
By this, the researcher was as observer who observed the activity in the classroom teaching and learning process. In this step, the lecturer started implementing the stimulation question strategy through the pre-teaching in order to warm the students up as well as get their enthusiastic in learning. In addition, the researcher also explained the result of the activities which occured through the clasroom teaching and learning process. In this case the lecture did the activities well-expected since she involved some questions to the students to stimulate their understanding and also to review their previous learning result. In this case, the reseracher gives explanation about the criteria that the lecturer has done in the pre-teaching. The lecture did the pre-teaching well. In which the students focused on and  try to dig up their undertanding toward the questions given, then they are quiet excited to answer the questions.


2)      Whilst-Teaching
In this section is the main activity in teaching learning process namely the researcher described the situation of  introduction to linguistics teaching learning process that the researcher got from the first observation. In this case, the classroom activity had been started by presenting group discussion at the first.
a)      The lecturer asked the next group to present their turn topic of lingusitics subject, the topic was Phonology.






b)       The group of students started to present their topic discussion
c)      Then, the lecturer asked other students to listen to and pay attention to the presentation while making question from both what they got from the presentation and what they read from the hand out given, this step is called by stimulation question strategy by which the lecture stimulate and engage the students to be active and participative through the classroom activity. The questions such as:
-          What is the difference between distinctive and non-distinctive sounds?
-          What is phoneme? And,
-          When do contrastive and non-contrastive sounds happen?
d)     After the presentation, the lecturer collected some questions from the students then asked the presented students to answer the questions from the audiences. In this case, the lecturer collected five question from five different students. This activity can be a stimulation for them to be brave and confident in sharing ideas and opinions.
e)      The presented students tried to answer the questions asked by their friends, when the presented students find difficult or cannot answer the questions given, then the lecturer take turn helping them to answer the questions asked.
f)       The last step was that the lecturer re-explained the material presented, it was done in order that all students had more understanding toward the linguistics material presented and questioned.
 








 Actually, in the whilst-teaching, the result is different with pre-teaching. It means that the lecturer asked the students to listen to their friends presentation as well as read the hand out they had, the purpose it was to engage and encourage the students to make questions based on what they listened to and what they read. In brief, this activities is the type of stimulation question strategy in which it is not only asking the students questions but also engaging and involving them to make question based on the linguistics material presented. This strategy can stimulate the students to be eager to be active and enthusiastic through the class discussion besides to arouse their linguistics understanding.
3)      Post-Teaching
This section is the last point in teaching learning process Based  on  the  observation,  the  teacher   closed  the  teaching activities by concluding and motivating.
a)      The lecturer concluded today’s material of linguistics, by revising and making the students’ answer clearer toward the questions asked.
b)      The lecturer asked the students to read the next topic of lingusitics namely “Morphology”.
c)      The lecturer gave motivation to the students
d)     The lecturer closed the material by saying Salam  together.
The lecturer : Thank you, see you to the next meeting Wassalamu’alaikum wr.wb.
The students  : Wa’alaikumsalaam.
In the result of the activities the lecturer lead the classroom activities in the post teaching well-expected, the lecturer concluded today’s material about phonology as well as  reviewed the next material to be taught then motivated the students in learning.
From the three steps of the activities, the researcher can conclude that all of result of three steps the teacher done all the activities good and well-expected. The researcher can concluded that the implementation of stimulation question strategy was success.
Base on the first  observation, the researcher summarized that the lecturer gave stimulated questions about phonetics to the students in pre-teaching in order to arouse their understanding as well as to remind what they had learnt from the previous meeting. While in the process of teaching the lecturer asked the students to present their assignment of introduction to linguistics, during presenting other students were asked to pay attention to the presentation as well as to read the hand out given, that was done in order to the students arouse their understanding and make questions based on the material presented, this activity called by stimulation question which is made by students to stimulate the presented students in front of the class.
Through answering questions the lecturer helped the student in answering the questions asked and make the material presented clearer, at last she also concluded the linguistics material discussed. That classroom activity involved the stimulation questions strategy which was actually implemented explicitly by the lecturer in order to make the students brave in questioning, making enthusiastic and getting their understanding toward the topic discussed namely phonology.
b.      Second Observation
In the second meeting of the research was conducted on 18th March 2019. This meeting was like the first meeting where the researcher as a passive participant who only observed the teaching learning activity without following the teaching learning process. There are  also  three steps of this meeting. It will be discussed in the following:
1)      Pre-Teaching
a)      The lecturer prapared the material to be taught namely Morphology.
b)      The lecturer started the class at 08. 00
c)      The lecturer begun the subject by saying salam and firstly pray together
d)      Then, the lecturer said greetings good morning my students, how are you today? The students answered it.
e)      After this, the lecturer cecking the attendence list of  students firstly.
  Actually, in the second meeting the result of this activities were same with the first activities. The teacher conducted  the activities were very good and well-expected. It means that the lecturer gave best way in the pre-teaching before the teaching learning process was started.
2)      Whilst-Teaching
This part is main activities in teaching learning process namely in this point will be described  the situation of  introduction to linguistics classroom activity that the researcher got from the the observation of in TBI C class of the first semester.
a)      The lecturer prepared some stimulated questions about morpholgy to be asked to the students.
Example :  -    What is morphology?
-          What do you know about morpheme?
-          What do you differ between derivational and inflectional morpheme?
-          Etc.
b)      The lecturer asked each questions about today’s introduction to linguistics topic namely morphology
c)      Several students rise their hand to answer the stimulated questions, some of them answered by adding opinions or reasons toward their answer.
d)      The students were enthusiastic in answering the questions asked about the topics of morphology. Since, they prepared as well as read the topic before the class.
e)      After some students answered a question, the lecturer added an explanation about each questions she asked to.
f)       The teacher gave an apreciation to the each students who answer the questions by saying “that’s good” or “well done!”
 By this, the lecturer thaught in the whilst-teaching well-prepared in involving stimulation question strategy. In this case, the students had prepared the topic of introduction to linguistics to be taught at the day. Therefore, from the classroom activity that the students participated well in answering the questions asked by the lecturer. Basically, the teacher used stimulation question strategy through the learning process especially in pre-teaching and in whilst-teaching as well, the aim was so that all students had motivation, had prior knowledge to the learning topic, and had preparation in facing each class meetings of introduction to linguistics. As a result some students were ready to answer the questions given through stimulation question strategy.
3)      Post-Teaching
This section is the last point in teaching learning process
e)      The lecturer gave top-up questions to the students about the topics had taught or discussed
f)       The students wrote down their answers on a paper. Then,
g)      The teacher gave reflection about the material taught. Then, asked the students to prepare their next presentation, she also asked the students to dig up information and read the next topic to be taught.
h)      The teacher closed the material by praying together then saying Salam.
In the last steps of this activity was different with the first meeting, the result of this activity the teacher conducted the activity was good and appropriate with the purpose of what the researcher expected. In the post-teaching the lecturer also provided stimulated questions through top-up questions, it was done to reemphasize and strengthen the students understanding toward the learning topics of introduction to linguistics taught. Besides, to encourage and arouse the students’ interest as well as their ability as long they learnt the material of linguistics. In addition, in order that they were used to learn and make preparation before joining the class such as deepen the material, read and comprehend the linguistics topics to be taught as well.
Basically the implementation of stimulation question strategy was conducted by the lecturer in the process of introduction to linguistics class either in the first meeting or in the second meeting of observation. In the process of teaching of the first meeting, the lecturer implemented the stimulation questions strategy during the pre-teaching as well as on whilst-teaching, she gave some stimulated questions about phonetics which had learnt and discussed on the previous meeting, automatically, the students who still remember and prepared themselves tried to answer the questions bravely.
    On the other hand, in whilst-teaching the lecturer asked the students to read the hand out and listen to their friends’ presentation, then requested them to make questions to be asked to the presented students and the lecturer helped the presented students in answering the questions asked to them about the topic presented. That was stimulation questions strategy which was implemented by the lecturer through the teaching and learning process. This activity made the students active, talkative and enthusiastic in following the class activities, this strategy also made them diligent in reading the subject, arousing their ability, and well-prepared in following the classroom teaching and learning process especially when the lecturer involved the stimulation question strategy.
Based on the result of second meeting, that the researcher also observed the lecturer of introduction to linguistics subject at the C class of TBI, the researcher had observed the teaching learning process related with the implementation of stimulation question strategy in teaching introduction to linguistic. In this meeting, the lecturer provided some questions related to the topics will be taught at the day namely Morphology, when the lecturer gave each questions it looked that some students rose their hand they were ready and enthusiastic answering the questions given, it seemed that the students had prepared and studied about what become the topic questions for that day lesson. Most of students wanted to be the best and participated actively through the classroom activity.
In brief, the implementation of stimulation question strategy was success and complete enough, by which the students were motivated and influenced positively with the strategy used. Since, they were able to develop and prepared the lesson of linguistics well that they were mostly able to answer the stimulated questions and asked what they did not understand through the classroom teaching and learning.
After conducting observation in the classroom activity about the implamentation of stimulation question steategy at C class of TBI,  researcher also conducted interview with the lecturer and the students to convince that the data more valid.
2.      The Result of Interview
Talking about the result of interview, the researcher obtained this data when the lecturer and students were free or out of the class.
Based on the result of interview with the lecturer of Introduction to Linguistics at C class of TBI, She stated that
I use stimulation question strategy in teaching introduction to linguistics actually to warm up the students and to make them enthusiastic in following the teaching and learning process, this strategy requires them to answer the stimulated questions given, this strategy also good to know the students’ understanding toward the material teaching to be taught or have been taught, it also tells me which one of them who really study or ready to follow the classroom activity. Furthermore, this strategy is very effective to engage the students’ readiness in learning, they really prepare to answer the questions to be asked”.[1]

Based on the result of interview with the lecturer and strengthened by observation  that is conducted by the researcher at TBI C class of the first semester, when the researcher joined the teaching learning process above can conclude that the lecturer used and implemented stimulation question strategy  in teaching of introduction to linguistics namelly in the topics of phenetics, phonolgy and morphology as well.
The statement above  also support by Anisa as a students at TBI C class.
“The strategy used by the lecturer was stimulation question, where the lecturer prepared some questions to us, those were about the previous topic or the topic to be taught at the day, it makes us compete each other who can answer the questions, and I think my friends were ready to answer the questions given because they have learnt or they read the topics, it can motivate us to comprehend the material, and when we can answer the question the lecturer gave point for us. ”.[2]

Based on statement above the students states that the lecturer use stimulation question strategy where by using this strategy makes the students motivated and enthusiastic to follow the class, it also shows their readiness toward the topics will be taught. It was supported by Kamila statement
“My lecturer of introduction to linguistics was stimulated questions in teaching linguistics, it is showed by she always ask some questons to us either before teaching or in the process of tecahing, this activities done in order to know who have studied or involved the students to be active in the classroom activity. Moreover, when our friends do presentation they also asked us to read and pay attention to the presentation then ask us to make question about the topic presented if we did not understand about what my friends presented, she also helped them to answer the questions to make clearer”.[3]

From both statements above, which were statesd by students at TBI C class of the first semester,  the researcher can conclude that using stimulated questions in the process of teaching introduction to linguistics is very effective, because the strategy can increase the students’ understanding as well as make them really ready to follow the classroom activity. In addition, it can know the students’ prior knowledge about the topics to be taught. It was also strengthened by the lecturer statements
“Almost all of students more active, excited, and eager to the topics taught in teaching and learning activities when I used stimulation question strategy. In this case, the students prepared before the class by reading and comprehending the topics taught such as phonetics, phonology and etc. By this strategy I can know the students who really study and prepare the topics will be given. Also, this strategy does not only force the students to answer the questions, but it also needed their participation toward their friends’ presentation, in this case they ask about the part of topics they did not understand, this strategy really help them in the process on teaching and learning process”.[4]

The statements above can be concluded that the students more active, excited, and eager to follow the teaching learning process when the lecturer gave questions about the topic. They are get ready since they have prepared the material taught.
As the researcher known from observation that stimulation questions strategy does not only require the students ready to answer the questions asked, but they also requested to be active participated through the classroom discussion by asking them to make question about the topic presented, this strategy involved the students to be more well-prepared in every sessions of classroom activities.
According to Ms. Fitrih as the lecturer of introduction to linguistics class in TBI C class, She stated that:
“My students is glad, enthusiastic and enjoy every sessions of learning, this strategy involved advantages for them such as make them to be active, excited, and brave to share their knowledge as well as their understanding to the field of linguistics taught. In addition they sometimes doubt or even afraid to answer the questions or to ask, but above all activities run well and all students were satisfied with their answer. With this I can acknowledge the active and the passive students”.[5]

Based on explanation above the students response very happy and enthusiastic through the strategy in the  classroom teaching and learning process, they can share their idea, their understanding of the questions given, the lecturer can also know the active and talkative students through the activity.
“I am very interested in because every activities my lecturer namely mam Fitri used question as stimulation, because it invited students to be more in learning of the sub-topic, so the students who have really prepared to the sub-topics were ready to rise their hand and answer the lecturer’s question, I think it was about a fantastic strategy by involving students to answer the question, it also makes them to be seriously studied.[6]

      Based on students  statement  above the students very interesting when the lecturer implemented the stimulated question. Since it can make the students to be diligent in learning the sub-topics to be taught, this strategy also make the students are serious in deepening the linguistics subject. By questioning the students will be prepared in following the class.
