Chapter One

Introduction

This chapter presents the background of this study which divided into six parts that are background of the study, identification and limitation of the

problem, formulation of the problem, objectives of the study, significance of the study, and outline of the study.

Background of the Study

Teaching and learning process is an important activity in education. It is an activity which involves teachers and students in an educational environment. The aims of teaching and learning process is to achieve some goals that have been created prior to the teaching and learning process. It is in line with the statement of Farhadi (2014) who stated that the teaching and learning is a contact between a teacher and student in an educational situation that aimed to reach a goal, using four key elements which are the sequence or steps of teacher and student

activities, teacher’s role, student’s role, and the route of communication between teacher and students. During the teaching and learning process, students will be able to get some new knowledge from many subjects in the school.

(15)

create a dynamic teaching and learning process. Also, media and technology can give a lot of advantages for teachers in their teaching and learning. “It is

indispensable to take advantage of the modern technological facilities in aiding the task of English language education. Media and technology is needed by the lecturers to help them during teaching and learning”, (Nomass, 2013, p. 111).

During the teaching and learning process lecturers need to help students to reach their potential. In doing so, lecturers can use instructional media to help them deliver the material. Farhadi (2014) argued that educational media is an instrument of teaching and learning and also a part of learning process and technology. Using instructional media in learning process is a good idea because students can actively involve in the process of learning. Pun (2013) stated that “the use of multimedia technology makes the language class lively and

interesting, motivating the students to participate in the classroom activities” (p. 33). Instructional media is also able to help students to understand material given by lecturers easily. Heinich, Molenda, Russel and Smaldino (2002) stated that “properly designed instructional media can enhance and promote learning and support teacher-based learning” (p. 12).

(16)

responsibility to facilitate and improve students’ knowledge and skills, a lecturer is also responsible to give some feedback to students. Beside lecturers’

responsibility to facilitate and improve students’ knowledge, a lecturer is also the one responsible to decide types of instructional media they are going to use in their teaching. Since there are many types of instructional media available to be used in teaching and learning, a lecturer has the responsibility to choose the best media to be used based on their teaching objectives. A lecturer needs to make sure that the media can work properly during teaching and learning process or they may prepare a backup media if the media they have fail to be put on use. Then, the important part is that the lecturer should be able to maximize instructional media to support them in teaching and learning.

The teaching and learning process in English Education Department has already using instructional media. Instructional media in teaching and learning process at English Education Department is usually employed as a medium to deliver materials to students. Instructional media is also used during teaching and learning process because it can provide interactivity between lecturer, students and the environment. Ruis, Muhyidin and Waluyo (2009) stated that “instructional media are created the possible direct interaction between the learners and their environment” (p. 3). There are some types of instructional media used in teaching

(17)

used to support some listening activities. The use of instructional media in teaching and learning at EED of UMY is very important because it always motivates students to be more active and engaged into the activity in the classroom. Ruis, Muhyidin and Waluyo (2009) argued that “the learners’ motivation are aroused by using media in learning” (p.3).

Instructional media is something usually used in teaching and learning process. Instructional media in teaching and learning has some impacts in teaching and learning especially for students. The lecturers should be aware on choosing the instructional media for teaching and learning process because students are the one that get the impact of the use of instructional media. Alobo (2010) stated that "learning English can be so cumbersome to learners, unless it is taught in an interesting way utilizing appropriate learning resources” (p. 106). The use of appropriate instructional media will provide great benefits for students as students can learn easily and enjoy the learning process as Alobo (2010) argued that “adequate and appropriate selection and use of instructional media by both teacher and learner to facilitate better learning of the English language are most desirable” (p. 106). In the other hand, the use of inappropriate instructional media will only give students disadvantage. Inappropriate media in teaching and learning sometime can affect students’ motivation in learning.

(18)

influence the process of teaching and learning. Also, the researcher feels that it is important to conduct a research about students’ perception on instructional media as students are the one that get the impact from instructional media. Also, there is no research about instructional media in teaching and learning yet to be conducted at English Education Department, the researcher chose to carry research about students’ perception on the instructional media used by lecturers in teaching and learning process at English Education Department of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta.

Identification and Limitation of the Problem

As the importance of instructional media in teaching and learning process is inevitable, the use of instructional media becomes an issue for some

researchers. Media provides so many options for the lecturers to help them giving instruction in teaching and learning process. The various kinds of instructional media that can be used in teaching and learning process is a great advantage for the lecturer because the use of media will provide better environment in teaching. Pun (2013) stated that “the use of multimedia technology in the classrooms creates a favorable environment for language teaching” (p.33). Beside the advantages, the variety of instructional media can provide a problem if lecturers are fail to choose suitable media for their teaching and learning. It is also

(19)

become a focus for the researcher to do a research. Those problems are selection of instructional media for teaching and learning process, utilization of

instructional media in teaching and learning, and effectiveness of instructional media.

This study focused to investigate types of instructional media used by lecturers in English Education Department of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. In addition, the researcher also focused to find out advantages of instructional media in teaching and learning, and disadvantages of instructional media in teaching and learning at English Education Department of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta based on the perception of the students of English Education Department of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta.

Formulation of the Problem

The goal of this research is to explore students’ perception on the use of media in teaching and learning process. The formulation of the problems are as follows:

a. What are the types of instructional media used by lecturers of EED of UMY as experienced by students of EED of UMY?

b. How is students’ perception on the advantages of instructional media used by the EED lecturers in teaching and learning?

(20)

Objective of the Study

This research contains three research objectives, which is set as follow:

a. To investigate the types of instructional media used by lecturers of EED of UMY as experienced by students of EED of UMY.

b. To identify students’ perceptions on the advantages of instructional media used by the EED lecturers in teaching and learning.

c. To identify students’ perceptions on the disadvantages of instructional media used by the EED lecturers in teaching and learning.

(23)

Chapter Two

Literature Review

This study aims to investigate student’s perceptions about instructional media used in the process of teaching and learning. To get the framework of the issue, this literature review discusses some important aspects related to the study. First, this chapter presents some definitions of the terminology used in this paper that are definition of instructional media, types of instructional media, advantages of instructional media in teaching and learning and disadvantages of instructional media in teaching and learning. Second, this chapter presents the review of related studies and followed by the conceptual framework of the study.

Instructional Media in Teaching and Learning

This part of literature review provides the view of some expert related to instructional media in teaching and learning. There are four topics discussed in this part of literature review. The first topic discussed is definition of instructional media, followed by types of instructional media, advantages of instructional media in teaching and learning and the last is disadvantages of instructional media in teaching and learning.

Definition of instructional media. Instructional media is something that

(24)

that instructional media is “the collection of materials and equipment that can be used effectively for communication. These materials are used in the planning process of giving instruction” (p.13). Further, Wamalwa & Wamalwa (2014) refers the instructional media as “the kind of media used in teaching to aid in learners’ easier understanding according to the set objectives” (p.141). Instructional media is something that deliver information from a source to a receiver and they transfer an information in an instructional purpose such as video, television, diagrams, printed materials, computers and instructor, (Heinich, Molenda, Russel, & Smaldino, 2002). Reiser (2001) defines instructional media as “every physical means of instructional delivery, from the live instructor to the text book to the computer and so on” (p. 54).

From the statements above, the researcher can conclude that instructional media is tools that can help lecturer to deliver instructional information through media such as audio, video, printed materials, Television, diagrams, whiteboard and LCD projector.

Types of instructional media. Instructional media has few different

(25)

Heinich, Molenda, Russel, & Smaldino (2002). Heinich, Molenda, Russel, & Smaldino (2002) highlighted that types of instructional media include visual, audio, video, computer, and multimedia. Those types of instructional media discussed below.

Visual. The first instructional media as mentioned by Heinich, Molenda,

Russel, & Smaldino (2002) is visuals. Visuals are traditional media associated into classroom. Types of visual media can be divided into non-projected visuals, projected visuals, document cameras, overhead projection, slides, digital images, and digital images projection. The first type of visual media is non-projected visuals which are easy to use in many ways at all levels of instruction and there are six types of visuals commonly used in classroom includes still pictures, drawings, charts, graphs, posters, and cartoons. Then the second visual is projected visuals that are media format in which still images are enlarged and projected on a screen which also suitable for all levels of instruction in all curriculum areas. The third visual media is document cameras which is a video camera pointed on document, pictures, or graphics to project them into a bigger screen. The following visual is overhead projection which become the most widely used audiovisual device in North American classrooms as it is easy to use and can project some materials. The fifth visual aid is slides which is a small

(26)

television monitor. And the last visual media is digital image projection that can be used to project individuals digital image format using computer monitor, an LCD panel, overhead projector, or a data projector.

Audio. The second instructional media as stated by Heinich, Molenda,

Russel, & Smaldino (2002) is audio media that can make several unique

contributions to both teaching and learning. Audio media format usually used in giving instruction are audiotapes, compact disc (CD), and MP3. Audiotapes can be used to record your own audio easily and cheaply and are not easily damaged and the content of audiotapes can be edited easily. Compact disc is an attractive educational program as the user can quickly choose the desired program or contents to be played. The disadvantage of compact disc is that a scratch can damage the quality of the content in the disc. The last audio media type is MP3 or MPEG audio layer 3, it is an audio format which can easily take on the internet and can be played using computer programs.

Video. Then, the third instructional media type highlighted by Heinich,

(27)

do not have. The last video format is internet video that can be viewed through internet using video streaming as the user do not need to download the file as the contents starts playing shortly as the user clicks on the link.

Computer. The fourth type of instructional media according to Heinich,

Molenda, Russel, & Smaldino (2002) is computer that can provide virtually instantaneous response to student input, has extensive capacity to store and manipulate information, and is unmatched in its ability to serve many students simultaneously. The roles of computers in learning are as an object of instruction, as a tool, as an instructional device, and as a means of teaching logical thinking.

Multimedia. Then, the last instructional media based on the statement of

Heinich, Molenda, Russel, & Smaldino (2002) is multimedia which refers to the sequential or simultaneous use of a variety of media formats in a given

presentation or self-study program. The goal of multimedia in education is to immerse the learner in a multisensory experience to promote learning.

(28)

third type is drawing that should be simple but consist of rich information. Then, chart, poster, and cartoon are visual media that can be used in four language skills. The fifth is blackboard or whiteboard which can be used to present drawing, diagram and written language. Audio media can be a very valuable media for listening activities since teachers can provide authentic materials from radio or create a listening material using a recorder. The next one is Over Head Projector which is very useful to be used in large classes because OHP allows teachers to face students all the time while presenting the material. And the last, LCD

projector which is often used to show presentation because it is more practice and efficient.

Advantages of instructional media in teaching and learning. There are

many advantages of using instructional media in teaching and learning. There are two experts discussed advantages of instructional media. Those experts are Pun (2013) and Liu (2010).

Pun (2013). The first expert, Pun (2013), stated that there are seven advantages of using media. The first is to motivates students to learn English as implementation of new multimedia technology in teaching that includes audio, visual and animation effects encourages students to learn English efficiently. The second one is developing students' communicative competence through

(29)

language that can make them motivated to learn. Then, improves teaching efficiency as media in language classroom provide real-life environment for students, could give students more information and improves teaching efficiency. Enhances interaction among students and between teachers and students since the use of media can attract students to be more active in classroom and it improves communication between teacher and students. Then, creates a conducive teaching environment in the classrooms since using media while teaching will develop dynamic involvement of teacher and students and it can produce positive language classroom. And the last is to provides opportunities for English teaching outside the classrooms so that teacher able to conduct teaching outside classroom since the students can contact the teacher using the internet.

Liu (2010). Liu (2010), the second expert, argued that the advantages of using multimedia are English teaching and learning become more efficient, provide a lot of useful information and saving a lot of time.

Disadvantages of instructional media in teaching and learning. Apart

from the advantages of the use of instructional media in teaching and learning, there is also disadvantages. Statements of three experts who discussed

disadvantages of instructional media presented in this study. Those experts are Pun (2013), Liu (2010), and Reddi and Mishra (2003).

(30)

facilitator because the teacher perhaps become very dependent to multimedia in classroom. The second one is lack of communication between teachers and students as the use of multimedia technology in language classroom may create an exciting classroom by the help of audio, visual and text but it may limit the communication between teachers and students. Then, lack of real-time teaching because the use of multimedia in classroom by teacher, there will be lack of real-time teaching by teacher and it could give students difficulties since there will be no feedback. Loss of students' logical thinking may occur because the use of multimedia may help students to understand the material easily but it can reduce students’ logical thinking. The last is expensive way of conducting language classes as the use of multimedia in language classroom can be very expensive because the school need to buy hardware, software etc. to support the use of multimedia in classroom.

Liu (2010). Liu (2010), the second expert, stated that the disadvantages of using multimedia is that students can feel lost and they do not know what to choose because there is so many information provided by multimedia.

Review of Related Studies

There are three research which carried out a topic related to instructional media will be discussed in this research. The first research was conducted by Aini in (2013) with the title Instructional Media in Teaching English to Young

Learners: A Case Study in Elementary Schools in Kuningan. The research was

conducted in Kuningan, Indonesia and the researcher was investigating three things which are the use of instructional media in teaching English to young learners, problem encountered in using instructional media, and problem solving toward the challenge of media utilization. The research was conducted in three elementary school. The researcher use observation and interview as the technique of data collection. This research mentioned some instructional media which can be used by teacher such as the students themselves, realia, pictures, course book, boards, overhead projector, flipcharts and computer-based presentation

(32)

Then, the second research was done by Erastus Juma Walmawa and Eric W. Wamalwa in (2014) entitled Toward the utilization of Instructional Media for Effective Teaching and Learning of English in Kenya. This research discusses the

use of instructional media in teaching and learning of English in Kenya. The research aims to assess the place and the role of instructional media in enhancing teaching and learning of English in Kenya. The researcher discovers that the lack of instructional media in teaching and learning gives big learning challenge to learner. Thus, this research urges the use of instructional media in teaching and learning. The researcher classifies instructional media into three types that are unprocessed materials, projected media, and non-projected media. This research discusses the role of instructional media in teaching and learning as it can enhance and facilitate the learning process. Then this research discusses about the criteria for selection and the use of instructional media should be based on lesson objectives according to learners’ ability. This research also discusses theories to the use of instructional media in teaching includes the component display theory and cognitive load theory. Then, this research discusses instructional media in teaching and learning, teaching language skills with selected instructional media, using instructional media to teach English in schools, and classroom language learning. At the end of the research, the researcher concludes that instructional media is an integral part to teaching and learning process as it can enhance

(33)

The third research was conducted by Adegbija and Fakomogbon in (2012) entitled Instructional Media in teaching and learning: A Nigerian perspective. The research discussed the use of instructional media in teaching and learning in Nigeria as a developing country. The researcher found that the inconsistency of government policies in education, corruption, mismanagement of oil resources, and also the lack of vision of the Nigerian leaders leads to the lack of attention toward instructional media and education in general. Then, the researcher mentioned some media which used in other developed countries such as real equipment, simulator, training device, computer, interactive multimedia, virtual reality, radio or TV broadcast, motion picture, programmed text, slide tape or filmstrip, audio poster or chart whiteboard, and overhead transparencies. The researcher also discussed about choosing appropriate media for a lesson, sources of instructional media for tertiary institutions, print resources, and resources centers and the virtual library. At the end of the research, the researcher concluded that lecturers have the responsibility to determine appropriate teaching methods and provide suitable instructional media which will fit in the implementation of the method. The researcher suggested that lecturers and students should be more exposed to the use of every form of instructional media through training and retraining whether at the local or international setting, and the government should encourage the use of instructional media for teaching and learning by

(34)

This research is different from three related studies mentioned above in terms of the setting of the research. This research focuses to investigate the types of instructional media used by lecturers, advantages and disadvantages of

instructional media in teaching and learning process. Qualitative research method employed in this research and the researcher use interview to collect the data. The participants of this research are students of a private university in Yogyakarta.

Conceptual Framework

(35)

using multimedia in English Language Teaching able to make students elaborate easily in the process of teaching and learning. Pun (2013) stated that technology offers a lot of selection which create a dynamic teaching and learning process. Wamalwa & Wamalwa (2014) classifies materials or media for instruction into three types such as unprocessed materials, projected media, and non-projected media.

Then, the use of media in teaching and learning process can provide advantages and disadvantages. There are many advantages of using media in teaching and learning process as Pun (2013) highlighted some advantages such as motivate students to learn English, develop students’ communicative competence, widens students’ knowledge about the culture of English, improves teaching efficiency, enhance interaction among students and between teacher and students, creates a conducive teaching environment, and provide opportunities for English teaching outside the classroom. Pun (2013) argued that there are some

In this part, the researcher presents the reason and the way the researcher chose the setting and participants. Continued by data collection method as the third part which discuss what data collection method applied in this study and how long the data gathering takes time. Finally, analysis of data is elaborated at the end of this chapter. This part presents the method used by the researcher to analyze the data.

Design of the Study

(38)

phenomenon related to the use of instructional media at EED of UMY. Cresswell (2009) argued that “qualitative research is a means for exploring and

understanding the meaning individuals or groups ascribe to a social or human problem” (p.4). Creswell (2012) again stated that “qualitative research is best suited to address a research problem in which you do not know the variables and need to explore” (p. 16). Based on those statements, the researcher employed qualitative research method in this study.

Then, descriptive qualitative research design was employed in this study. Descriptive approach chosen as the researcher explore detailed information for this research from participants. Creswell (2012) stated that “a descriptive approach incorporates a detailed description of people and places to carry the narrative. A study in this mode might convey “a typical day in the life” of an individual” (p. 274).

Setting and Participants of the Study

Setting of the study. This research was conducted at English Education

(39)

Education Department students have already attended various classes, and the researcher believes that all students of English Education Department have experience in attending classes where the lecturers employ media in their

classroom. The third reason is that the researcher is studying at English Education Department, so that the researcher is familiar with the setting and it makes it feasible for the researcher to conduct a research at English Education Department of UMY. Based on those reasons, English Education Department was chosen as the setting of this research by the researcher. This research was conducted on November 2016. The researcher gathered the data for approximately nine days, started on November 9th and ended on November 16th 2016.

Participants of the study. Participants of this study were students of

English Education Department of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. They were four students of EED of UMY batch 2014. The participants consisted of two male and two female students. Participants of this study were taken using

convenience sampling method. Convenience sampling method is one of the most effective and easy way to select the sample as Cresswell (2012) argued that the researcher only selects participants because they are willing and available to be studied. Cohen, Manion, and Morrison (2007) stated that “convenience sampling involves choosing the nearest individuals to serve as respondents and continuing

(40)

Four students of English Education Department of Universitas

Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta batch 2014 were selected as participants in this study because of four reasons. The first reason of the researcher chose students to become the participants was because they were the one that get the impact of the instructional media used in teaching and learning. Then, the second reason of the researcher selected students of EED of UMY batch 2014 was because they have experiences in attending classes that employed instructional media in its teaching and learning for at least two years. The third reason was because students of EED of UMY batch 2014 also had the same experiences being taught using

instructional media. The last reason of the researcher chose students of EED of UMY batch 2014 as participants was because they were available and accessible to be researched.

The participants of this study were four students of English Education Department of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta batch 2014. They were consisted of two male students and two female students. The participants were chosen by the researcher as they were available and willing to be the participants at that time. The researcher used pseudonym in this study to mention these four participants. Pseudonym used to protect the secrecy of the participants. The pseudonym assigned to the participants were “Anton” for participant number one,

(41)

Data Collection Method

Interview was chosen as the instrument to collect the data in this study. The researcher used interview because the researcher was trying to explore students’ perception related to the types, advantages, and disadvantages of instructional media used by lecturers in teaching and learning at EED of UMY. Thus, interview was used to collect the data as Creswell (2012) stated that “a qualitative interview occurs when researchers ask one or more participants general, open-ended questions and record their answers” (p.217). One on one interview was used in this study as it was best suited for this study as Creswell

(2012) stated that “One-on-one interviews are useful for asking sensitive questions and enabling interviewees to ask questions or provide comments that go beyond the initial questions” (p. 384). Based on those consideration, the researcher decided to conduct one on one interview to gather the data.

(42)

Before conducting the interview, the researcher prepared something which was used during the interview, those are the copy of interview guidelines and voice recorder. The copy of interview guidelines used to provide questions list for the researcher. The voice recorder was used to record answers from the

participants. The researcher used Indonesian language in the interview to prevent any misunderstanding between both the researcher and participants. Indonesian language was also used because it is easier for the researcher and participants to give the questions and explained their answer.

The interview was conducted between November 9th and November 16th 2016. Before conducting the interview, the researcher contacted four students of EED of UMY asked about their availability and willingness to be the participants of this study. Those four students contacted by the researcher were Andi, Bela, Choki, and Dinda. After those students agreed to be the participants of this study, the researcher made appointment with those students to conduct the interview. The first interview was conducted on November 9th 2016. Anton was the first participant interviewed by the researcher. The interview lasted for 7 minutes. The second participant interviewed was Bela. She was interviewed on November 13th with the interview lasted for eight minutes. The third interview was conducted on November 15th with Choki as the participant. The interview lasted for eleven

(43)

Data Analysis

After the researcher finished the process of data collection, the researcher did the transcribing. Transcribing is a process where the researcher writes down data collected from participants into an interview transcript. Creswell (2012) argued “transcription is the process of converting audiotape recordings or

fieldnotes into text data” (p.239). The researcher did the transcribing in three days, started from November 16th to November 18th 2016. The next step after the transcribing process was member checking. Member checking is used to check the validity of the data. Creswell (2012) stated that “member checking is a process in which the researcher asks one or more participants in the study to check the accuracy of the account” (p.259). The researcher did the member checking on November 19th, 20th, and 21st 2016. In member checking, the researcher met the participants and gave the participants a copy of the interview transcript to check if there was any mistake made by the researcher in transcribing the data. In the member checking process, there were no major problem as most of the transcript were correct. There were only small number of mistake in the transcript. It was the transcript of interview number three which was revised as the participants asked to change some words that were used in the transcript. Then, after the process of transcribing and member checking was done, the researcher did the

data analysis.
