1 CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents such topics as: background of study, statements of problem,

purposes of study, significance of study, scope and limitation, and definition of key

terms. Each section is presented as follows:

1.1 Background of Study

In the recent time, English has become a universal language that is used in the

world of technology, education, politics, commerce, and many more. English is also

dominating all aspects of communication. We can see almost all electronic devices

use English. Most countries in Asia are also using English as a medium of instruction

or making the English as a second language after their national language. Philippines,

Singapore, Brunei, and Malaysia are as the examples. According to English First

(2012), English is the communication tool most often used by the world after

Mandarin.

Accordingly, English is the global language, so for those who want to step

forward have to be mastering English. Because of this importance of English,

government of Indonesia made English as a compulsory subject from primary to

university levels. In early 2000, government of Indonesia (GOI) tried to discuss about

the innovation of education in Indonesia by establishing Pioneering International

Standardized School (RSBI). It is stated in the Education Act of the Regulation of

Indonesia chapter 3, article 50, that “government and local governments organize at

(15)

2

having international standards of education”. Some schools in Indonesia usually have

cooperation with English speaking countries and bring in foreign teachers. At the end

of the school year, students will be given additional tests from the Directorate

General of Education.

By the time, people can feel some lacks of Pioneering International Standardized

School (RSBI) program. One of the examples is that RSBI makes discrimination

because of the most students who join in RSBI are from rich family. The next is that

one of the RSBI rules is students have to use English almost in all subjects, it is

deliberately ignores the rules of the Indonesian language and contrary to Article 36

UUD 1945 that mentions the language of education is Indonesia. In addition, it is also

supported by the chairman of Supreme Court of the constitution, Mahfud MD, who

said that Education Act, Article 50, Chapter 3 is contrary to the 1945 constitution. So

that, on Sunday, 13thJanuary 2013, according to the Article 50, point 3 about the role of Pioneering International Standardized School (RSBI) status, the Chairman of

Supreme Court of the Constitution, Mahfud MD, and the Minister of Education and

Culture, Muhammad Nuh, agreed to abolish Pioneering International School (RSBI)

in Indonesia starting from 2013–2014 academic years.

However, the RSBI abolition by the Constitutional Court will not affect the

activity of some schools and students learning activity. After RSBI was abolished,

education in Indonesia had a golden chance to dig up its excellent innovation without

being influenced by RSBI title. Then, many schools in Indonesia try to create some

qualified programs in order to attract people interest to the school. Some schools also

(16)

students. In summary, the quality of education in Indonesia is growing well without

being influenced by RSBI title. Many schools

are always encouraged to compete each other by creating excellent programs.

One of the examples is SD Muhammadiyah 4 Batu which is up to now still keeps

the existence of English competency although RSBI has been abolished by

government. The first reason is because the school is aware that English is the global

language and very importance for thestudents’ future. The second reason is because

this school wants to create a special school character by using English as a medium of

instruction. Related to this effort to keep English competency, luckily teachers in this

school had got some training by lecturers from University of Muhammadiyah Malang

supported by Directorate of Research and Community Services. The researcher was

engaged in this program in several times. The program was started by a workshop

about the use of English as a medium of instruction especially in math and science to

the teachers and then continued with trainings with ten topics which were delivered in

five meetings. The topic at the first meeting was introducing self and introducing

other. The second training was about things around and how to describe things

around. The third training was discussed about understanding reading and

question-answer. The next training continued with topic “how” question and procedure. The

last meeting topic of training was science experiment and math experiment.

As we know, teaching in Elementary school is not easy. Teachers must have a

special skill to handle teaching learning process to make it successful. The researcher

was interested in following the teaching–learning process in Elementary school and

(17)

teacher to attract students’attention was by questioning. In general, to determine the

teaching-learning process is successful or not, the teacher usually uses questions as an

evaluation to know the students’ understanding and responses toward the material

that had been taught. As stated by Hasting (2003) that one-third of all teaching time is

spent asking questions. According to Coper ( 2011, p. 192), the questioning process is

an essential part of instruction in that it allows teachers to monitor student

competence and understanding as well as increase thought - provoking discussion.

From that opinions, researcher aware that questions can encourage reasoning and that

allow students to brainstorm their prior knowledge rather than accepting “yes or no”

responses. Through encouraging students to formulate responses and express their

opinions, teachers are able to assess how familiar or interested they are in the

material. After students give their responses, giving feedback by teacher is a

necessity. The importance of providing feedback is to encourage student to give

responses while correcting or elaborating on their effort.

The researcher was interested in teacher’s questions in Elementary school,

especially in teaching-learning science because the appropriate types of questions

play an important role in helping students to construct knowledge. Moreover in

Elementary school, the implementation of English as a medium of instruction can be

a good stimulus for students to learn English better than before. By asking questions,

teacher creates an art in the way to lead students for learning science by using English

and it is really amazing when the researcher aware that this questionand the students’

response can be vary. That was why researcher choose the questioning technique as

QUESTIONS USING ENGLISH AS A MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION AT SD

MUHAMMADIYAH 4 BATU”

1.2 Statements of the problem

From the background of study above, the researcher formulates the questions

were as follows:

1. What questions were used by the teachers in the science classes using English

as a medium of instruction at SD Muhammadiyah 4 Batu?

2. Which question was dominantly used by the teachers in the science classes

using English as a medium of instruction at SD Muhammadiyah 4 Batu?

3. How did the students’ responses to the teachers’ questions in the science

classes using English as a medium of instruction at SD Muhammadiyah 4

Batu?

1.3 Purpose of Study

The purposes of the study were formulated to answer the research questions

and the purposes were as follows:

1. To know what questions used by the teachers in the science classes using

English as a medium of instruction at SD Muhammadiyah 4 Batu.

2. To know which question dominantly used by the teachers in the science

classes using English as a medium of instruction at SD Muhammadiyah 4

Batu.

3. To describe the students’responses to the teachers’questions in the science

classes using English as a medium of instruction at SD Muhammadiyah 4

(19)

1.4 Significance of Study

The researcher hopes that the result of study is going to be useful for students,

teachers, institution, and following researcher. The first is for students, researcher

hopes the study can be used as an encouragement of students’ motivation in using

English in the classroom interaction. Second, for teachers, researcher hopes the study

can give a motivation to have a skill of creating effective questions that can attract

students’ attention in the classroom interaction especially in science class. Teachers

can understand the students’ responses on the teacher questions when a certain

question is addressed. The result of this study is also significant to be a self-reflection

of teachers as the subject of the study. The third is for Institution, the researcher

hopes the result of the study can be used as input for SD Muhammadiyah 4 Batu in

developing English perspective and competency especially in efforts to improve the

use of English as a medium of instruction. And the last is for the next researcher, it is

hoped that this research can be used as one of the references to conduct the same

research. It is also to give contribution for teaching and learning process, especially

teaching using English as a medium of instruction. And, it is hoped that this study can

encourage to create an enjoyable and exciting teaching atmosphere and activity using

(20)

1.5 Scope and Limitation

The scope of this study is the question used by science teacher using English as a

medium of instruction at SD Muhammadiyah 4 Batu. And this study is limited on the

teachers’ question, type of lower–higher question, and students’ responses through

the question.

1.6 Definition of Key Terms

The researcher gives the definition of the key terms in order to avoid

misunderstanding and ambiguity in the study, they are as follows:

1. Teacher’s questionsare a fundamental strategy through which teachers helps

students’ process ideas or concept. Walshaw and Anthony (2008) note that

questions enable teachers to “engage students in thoughtful and sustained

discourse that can make a difference to learning when the discourse is

centered on powerful ideas” (p. 516).

2. Science is "knowledge attained through study or practice," or "knowledge

covering general truths of the operation of general laws, esp. as obtained and

tested through scientific method and concerned with the physical world."

(Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary).

3. English as a medium of instruction is effort to learn everything includes

science through English. English is as a guidelines and clue to deliver the

knowledge and English is as hint or direction for communicating in teaching
