Kata Kunci : Pertanyaan guru, pengajaran Bahasa Inggris SMA N 2 Pati, tipe dan
fungsi pertanyaan
Interaksi merupakan suatu yang penting dalam komunikasi guru. Salah satu jenis interaksi adalah memberikan pertanyaan. Hal ini termasuk hal yang penting dalam komunikasi. Jika seorang guru tidak mempunyai interaksi yang bagus khususnya dalam bertanya, siswa akan merasa bosan di dalam kelas. Di dalam pengajaran, guru akan mengimplementasikan pertanyaan yang berbeda. Hal ini dapat berpengaruh terhadap keaktifan siswa di dalam kelas. Sebagai guru bahasa Inggris dari Sekolah Menengah Atas, sangatlah penting untuk memberikan pertanyaan dengan baik.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah (i) untuk mengetahui tipe pertanyaan yang digunakan oleh seorang guru bahasa Inggris tahun ajaran 2013/2014 (ii) untuk mendeskripsikan fungsi pertanyaan yang digunakan oleh guru bahasa Inggris tahun ajaran 2013/2014.
Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah dikriptif kualitatif. Data dari penelitian ini berupa pertanyaan yang digunakan oleh guru bahasa Inggris dan sumber data berupa trasnsript hasil rekaman pembelajaran di kelas. Penulis merekam proses pembelajaran sebanyak dua kali dan kemudian membuat transkripnya. Untuk menganalisa data, penulis mengidentifikasi ungkapan yang termasuk pertanyaan, mengklasifikasikannya, menganalisa, dan membuat kesimpulan.
Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa guru cenderung menggunakan pertanyaan tertutup daripada pertanyaan terbuka. Itu berarti bahwa guru lebih sering mengkonfirmasi dan bertanya tentang hal yang spesifik daripada meminta siswa untuk berfikir. Yang ke dua adalah fungsi pertanyaan. Hasil dari analisis menunjukkan bahwa pertanyaan sebagai alat pembelajaran lebih dominan diikuti dengan pertanyaan sebagai alat pendiagnosa. Frekuensi guru dalam memberikan pertanyaan yang memotifasi cenderung rendah.
Penulis menyarankan bahwa guru bahasa Inggris SMA N 2 Pati harus membuat pertanyaan yang lebih baik termasuk lebih sering memberikan pertanyaan terbuka daripada tertutup. Guru seharusnya memberikan pertanyaan yang memotifasi untuk menghindari kejenuhan siswa di kelas. Bagi siswa, penulis menyarankan untuk tidak menunggu pertanyaan dari guru. Sebagai tambahannya, analisis lain terkait pertanyaan guru akan lebih inovatif dari penelitian ini.
