ABSTRACT

Puruhita, Verena Vega. 2010. The Influence of Practice Teaching Program on the Career Selection Changes of Student Teachers: A Case Study on PBI Students. Yogyakarta: English Language Education Study Program, Sanata Dharma University.

This study is aimed to identify the changing of career selection of Microteaching students of English Language Education Study Program in Sanata Dharma University. Since English Language Education Study Program is designed to train the students to be teachers, the researcher considers that this issue is very important. This study also concerns with the effect of Teaching Practice Program which is one of the crucial subjects in English Language Education Study Program. In this research, there were two research questions. The first one was “Is there any career selection changing before and after Teaching Practice Program?” and the second one was “What is the reason of the changes of the career selection?” To answer these questions, the researcher used survey method and the instruments were questionnaire and interview.

There were two steps in the data gathering. The first step was conducted before Teaching Practice Program and the second step was conducted after Teaching Practice Program. It was aimed to find the differences and changing of career selection before and after Practice Teaching Program. The questionnaire is divided into two parts. The first questionnaire consisted of ten (10) closed-response questions and two (2) opened-closed-response questions. Meanwhile, the second questionnaire consisted of ten (10) closed-response questions and four (4) opened-response questions. Similar to the questionnaire, the interview is also divided in two parts. There were seven (7) questions for each part.

manifestations of what Herzberg meant on his Motivation-Hygiene Theory. The difficulties were included in the hygiene which is factors that prevent dissatisfaction. The difficulties were the factors that push the respondents not to be a teacher. The reason that appeared a lot for why they wanted to be a teacher was because teaching is challenging. By teaching, they could meet many people and share the knowledge with them.

The respondents from Microteaching class gave some suggestions and opinions towards Teaching Practice Program to Sanata Dharma, English Language Education Study Program and to the school where the Practice Teaching Program took place.

Uang merupakan salah satu hal yang paling berpengaruh dalam kelangsungan hidup manusia sejak dulu. Menurut Abraham Maslow, manusia akan menggunakan uangnya untuk memenuhi kebutuhan mereka yang paling mendasar. Kesulitan yang mereka temui di sekolah adalah salah satu perwujudan dari apa yang dimaksudkan oleh Herzberg dalam teori Motivation-Hygiene. Kesulitan-kesulitan tersebut termasuk dalam hygiene yang merupakan pencegah ketidakpuasan. Kesulitan-kesulitan tersebut adalah faktor yang mendorong responden untuk tidak menjadi guru. Alasan yang paling banyak muncul mengapa responden ingin menjadi guru adalah dikarenakan guru adalah tugas mulia. Dengan mengajar responden bisa bertemu dengan banyak orang baru dan berbagi pengetahuan dengan mereka.

Responden dari kelas Pengajaran Mikro memberikan beberapa saran dan pendapat tentang Program Pengalaman Lapangan untuk Universitas Sanata Dharma, Program Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris dan sekolah - sekolah tempat Program Pengalaman Lapangan diadakan.

Kata Kunci: Motivasi, Pengajaran Mikro, Pemilihan Karir, Program Pengalaman Lapangan.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Research Background

Teachers play an extremely important role in the development of any civilization. Civilization of a nation is not an easy thing to achieve. Civilization is also not something that can be achieved in a one or two day course but through a long process. One of them is through the education process. Teachers hold a very important role in sustaining a nations’ existence, an example of this is the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings in 1945, when the Emperor Hirohita received a report from the generals when Nagasaki and Hiroshima was drop by two atomic bombs that killed hundreds and thousands of Japanese citizens. When Emperor Hirohito heard these reports and statements he firstly asked about the number of teachers who were still alive; he was not considering the number of soldiers or medics who survived. (Peran Strategis Guru, 2009)

(21)

Dornyei (2000) ‘Teaching’ as a vocational goal has always been associated with the internal desire to educate people, to impart knowledge and values and to advance a community or a whole nation.

We know that teaching is an amazing career with a heavy work demand, because everything is done to be a good role model for the students. However this is not balanced with the reward received by teachers in Indonesia. There is a lack of appreciation of the teachers in Indonesia along with the associated problems that go along with the teaching profession. One of the affected sides is the teachers’ motivation.

Motivation is very important in determining someone’s action including decision to select a career. Since English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) is designed particularly for preparing students to be a teacher, the students’ motivation to be a teacher is very important. This study is dealing with the students’ motivation to be a teacher before and after following Teaching Practice or Program Pengalaman Lapangan (PPL). Teaching Practice is one of the subjects that aims to make the students understand the concepts and procedures of English Language teaching and aims to apply them in a real classroom situation in local high schools. (Panduan Akademik Program Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, 2004). Teaching Practice is designed to make the

(22)

and understand high school education in reality by also doing school administrative jobs.

The writer noticed that many students of English Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University tend to choose another work field. They might work in mass media, tourism, business, or companies rather than choosing a career as a teacher. Students’ tendency to choose other professions rather than teaching is based on their needs. Behaviour like this is common and natural. Behaviour is both directed to and results from unsatisfied needs. The unsatisfied need leads people to do something different. This is what is called motivation. There are various considerations taken by people to choose certain decision in their lives, including choosing a job. Standard of living could become one of the motivations for choosing certain occupations because by having a good occupation, it will determine a person’s social class.

“Do I want to be a teacher?” is a phenomenal question (Anglin, 1982). This question is considered phenomenal because the action of deciding to become a teacher is a big matter. Becoming a teacher is not easy. The decision should involve enough consideration and consciousness.

(23)

should become our consideration when we are studying in English Language Education Study Program.

According to Camilia (2000), the teacher’s knowledge along with the teacher’s feeling, become integrated within the student’s schemata. If the teacher does not like teaching, the students emerge from the classroom with a dislike for education. When a teacher loves his profession, the students learn to love education. What makes a person love his profession? There are many dynamic factors involved into why a person who loves his profession. The major dynamic factor is motivation. When a person understands the components involved in the construct of motivation, one can better become and remain motivated. When a teacher remains motivated, loving the teacher profession, the students not only learn the content taught by the teacher, but the students are also motivated toward learning.

(24)

Those are courses that are particularly designed for teacher candidates. Beside the courses to support their skills for their future profession as a teacher, there are also some courses designed to accommodate students’ other interests which are still related to teaching. They are Cross Cultural Understanding, Public Speaking, Seminar on Language Teaching and so on. In this study, we will find out the changes of motivation by knowing the motivation differences between before and after the field experience program, we will know the effect and influence of the Teaching Practice Program for students’ readiness to become a teacher. It will also show us the percentage of students’ career selection changes and its causes.

(25)

B. Problem Formulation

1. Do the students experience changes in career selection after following Teaching Practice Program (Program Pengalaman Lapangan)?

2. What are the causes of the changes in career selection of the students enrolled in Teaching Practice Program Program(Program Pengalaman Lapangan)?

3. What are research participants’ opinions about Teaching Practice Program Program (Program Pengalaman Lapangan)?

C. Problem Limitation

(26)

before and after Teaching Practice Program? (2) What are the causes? And (3) What are the students’ opinions towards Teaching Practice (Program Pengalaman Lapangan)?

D. Research Objectives

This study is aimed to find out the career selection changes of ELESP students before and after joining the Teaching Practice (Program Pengalaman Lapangan). This research is also intended to find the causes behind the career

selection changes of the students after joining the Teaching Practice (Program Pengalaman Lapangan). The students’ opinions concerning Teaching Practice

Program also will be revealed through this research. The answers from this research are expected to be useful for further study and policy making.

E. Research Benefits

The research findings can be and benefit for the policy maker, and for the study program and for further researcher.

The benefit for the policy maker or the study program is that by knowing the students’ opinions towards Teaching Practice Program, the study program can make some new policies and changes concerning Teaching Practice Program. All the policies and changes made by the study program of course still stick to ELESP vision and missions.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

A. Theoretical Description

On this chapter we will discuss about the theories used in this study. There are some views from the experts that show various cases why someone does not want to become a teacher, or even changes his career direction from a teacher to other occupation. The curriculum and educational system, which are then, victimized the teachers. As a result they will seriously consider giving up teaching as a career (Harris, 1988). An expert from Sanata Dharma University, the late Drs. Agustinus Samana, M.Pd. also said that in our society recently, we can see there are some negative tendencies and symptoms dealing with the effort to produce new teachers. Potential youth (healthy, tough and highly intelligent), are seldom spontaneously interested to enter teachers training and education. (Samana, 1994). There were two theories related to the teacher career selection. They are Human Motivation theory and Teacher Stress and Burnout. There were also explanation about Microteaching and Teaching Practice Program (PPL) as the foundation of this study. The theories dealing with this issue are mentioned as follows:

1. Human Motivation

Gellerman (1963) emphasizes that internal tensions are at the base of motivation. Motivation, as we commonly use the term, is our speculation about someone else's purpose, in which we usually expect to find the purpose in some

(30)

immediate and obvious goal such as money or security or prestige. … Thus wealth, safety, status, and all the other kinds of goal that supposedly "Cause" behavior are only paraphernalia for attaining the ultimate purpose of any individual, which is to be himself. (p. 190). The following are several theories about human motivation.

a. Maslow and Basic Needs

One model of motivation that has gained a lot of attention, but no complete acceptance, has been put forward by Abraham Maslow. Maslow’s theory argues that individuals are motivated to satisfy a number of different kinds of needs, some of which are more powerful than others (or to use the psychological jargon, are more prepotent than others). The term prepotency refers to the idea that some needs are felt as being more pressing than the others. Maslow argues that until these most pressing needs are satisfied, other needs have little effect on an individual’s behavior. In other words, we satisfy the most prepotent needs first and the progress to the less important to us. Other needs loom up and become motivators of our behavior.

Maslow represents this prepotency of needs as a hierarchy. The most prepotent needs are shown at the bottom of the ladder, with prepotency decreasing

(31)
[image:31.612.224.447.104.199.2]

Figure 2.1 Hierarchy of Prepotency by Abraham Maslow

1) self actualization – reaching your maximum potential, doing your own best thing

2) esteem – respect from others, self respect, recognition 3) belonging – affiliation, acceptance, being part of something 4) safety - physical safety, psychological security

5) Physiological – hunger, thirst, sex, rest.

The first needs that anyone must satisfy are physiological. b. Motivation – Hygiene Theory (M-H)

Frederick Herzberg and his associates began their research into motivation during the 50’s, examining the models and assumptions of Maslow and others. The result of this work was the formulation of what Herzberg termed the Motivation-Hygiene Theory (M-H). The basic hypotheses of this theory are that:

(32)

2) The factors that lead to job satisfaction (the motivators) are: a) achievement

b) recognition c) work itself d) responsibility

e) advancement

3) The factors which may prevent dissatisfaction (the hygiene) are: a) company policy and administration

b) working conditions c) supervision

d) interpersonal relations e) money

f) status g) security

(33)

2. Teacher Stress and Burnout

The other cause that may lead people giving up being a teacher is the impact of burn out and stress. The impact of teacher stress and burnout on our educational system is easily imagined and clearly serious. On their article Coping With Teacher Stress: A Research Synthesis for Pacific Educators,Zoe Ann Brown and Denise L. Uehara cited:

Teaching can be a stressful occupation. The daily interactions with students and coworkers and the incessant and fragmented demands of teaching often lead to overwhelming pressures and challenges, which may lead to stress. Where work stress is unrelenting, some negative physiological, psychological, and behavioral consequences may result. (DeRobbio & Iwanicki, 1996, p. 1)

Teacher stress is defined by Kyriacou (1987) as “the experience by a

teacher of unpleasant emotions, such as tension, frustration, anxiety, anger, and depression, resulting from aspects of work as a teacher” (p. 146).

Teacher burnout is defined by Kyriacou (1987) as “the syndrome resulting

from prolonged teacher stress, primarily characterized by physical, emotional and attitudinal exhaustion” (p. 146).

(34)

3. Microteaching

Microteaching provides an opportunity for faculty and teaching assistants to improve their teaching practices through a “teach, critique, re-teach” model. Microteaching is valuable for both new and experienced faculty to hone their teaching practices. It is often used in student teacher training programs to provide additional experience before or during the clinical experiences. (Richter, 2009). According to Academic Guidance Book of English Language Education Study Program, the goal of Microteaching is that the students understand the concepts

and procedure of English language teaching and are able to apply them in a real classroom teaching situation and to evaluate their teaching performance.

4. Teaching Practice Program

According to Pedoman Pelaksanaan Program Pengalaman Lapangan Universitas Sanata Dharma, Teaching Practice can be explained as below.

a. Nature of Teaching Practice

Teaching Practice (PPL) is designed to train teacher candidates to have teaching skill completely and integrated. This Program includes not only teaching, but also learning practice and learning how to do other educational assignments.

(35)

trained periodically and integrated. All teaching skills above need to be based with values and positive teaching attitudes.

b. Objectives of Teaching Practice Program

Teaching Practice (PPL) is aimed for student teachers to have competencies as mentioned below:

1) Identify school social environment carefully and comprehensively, including physical aspect, administrative system, curricular system, and educational activities.

2) Apply various teaching skills comprehensively and integrated in real situation supervised by the teacher and Teaching Practice lecturer.

3) Take the benefits of Teaching Practice Program in order to have teaching skill professionally.

c. Status

Teaching Practice is an obligatory pass subject valued 2-6 credits, and minimum grade C.

d. Place and Time 1) Place

Teaching Practice is carried out in high school (junior high school senior high school, and vocational school)

2) Time

(36)

system (the students come to school three or four times a week for about six months). In special case, if needed mix system can be applied.

e. Prerequisites

Students who are allowed to do Teaching Practice Program are those one who have completed the prerequisites below:

1) Already complete skill and competence subjects in faculty level below with minimum grade C.

a) Pengantar Pendidikan

b) Psikologi Belajar dan Pembelajaran

c) Dasar-dasar Bimbingan dan Konseling

d) Psikologi Remaja

e) Manajemen Sekolah

2) Already complete PBM subjects below with minimum grade C. a) Perencanaan Pengajaran

b) Metodologi Pengajaran

c) Evaluasi Pengajaran

d) Pengajaran Mikro (microteaching)

3) Already complete certain subjects determined by the study program. f. Activities

1) Making activity plan 2) Doing school observation

(37)

5) Making models and media for teaching importance 6) Doing administrative job

7) Participating in school teaching facilities maintenance

8) Participating in school curricular and extracurricular activities 9) Holding other activities

10) Attending meetings with guidance lecturer and build good relationship with school

11) Making reports

12) Doing final oral test as a responsibility to guidance lecturer

B. Theoretical Framework

There are some theories that strongly support the thesis and help the writer to solve the research problems. The first one is the statement from Harris that there are various cases why someone does not want to be a teacher, or even change his career direction from teacher to other occupations. Samana also supports the statement by saying that recently the enthusiasm from our youth to be a teacher has decreased significantly.

(38)

The next theory is called Motivation - Hygiene theory. In this theory, there are two types of motivators, one type which results in satisfaction with the job, and the other which merely prevents dissatisfaction.

(39)

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The research was studying about the influence of Teaching Practice Program on the career selection changes of student teachers of English Language Education Study Program Students of Sanata Dharma University. The study also include the causes of the changes and the students’ opinion toward Teaching Practice Program.

In this chapter, the writer would discuss about the research methodology used to conduct this research.

A. Research Method

This research was included into primary research, because it was based on primary or original data sources such as classroom observations of real students, their scores, or their responses to a questionnaire. (Brown, 2001)

This research would be conducted using survey method. There were four (4) important characteristics of survey research based on Brown (2001): (1) It is primary research and therefore data-based; (2) It is based on interviews and questionnaires; (3) It is distinct from qualitative research and statistical research; and (4) it is somehow sandwiched between qualitative and statistical research in that survey research can draw on both qualitative and statistical techniques, and

(40)

conversely in that qualitative and statistical techniques, and conversely in that qualitative and statistical research studies sometimes include survey techniques.

B. Research Participants

The participants of this research were from Microteaching class of English Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University. Random sampling occurred in this research. Each individual in the population have the equal chance of being selected. In this research the writer needed to monitor the research participants from Microteaching class up to the end of Teaching Practice Program. Since this study was aimed to find the changes on students’ motivation, therefore the writer had to compare students’ motivation before and after Teaching Practice Program. The monitoring process would continue starting from Microteaching class up to Teaching Practice Program. Microteaching class consisted of 18 students from various academic years.

C. Research Instruments

In this research, the writer used survey in collecting the data. Surveys were any procedures used to gather and describe the characteristic, attitudes, views, opinions, and so forth of students, teachers, administrators, or any other people who are important to a study. Surveys typically took the form of interviews, questionnaire or both.

Relatively rich data (written and spoken) Can be relatively complex

In questionnaires, the questions were set in organized way. In this study, the writer used Likert questionnaire item. Likert scales (named after their inventor) consist of a series of statements all of which are related to a particular target, and research participants are asked to indicate the extent to which they agree or disagree with the items by marking one of the responses ranging from ‘strongly agree’ to ‘strongly disagree’. (Dörnyei, 2001)

In this research, the writer used questionnaire and interview. The purpose of using both instruments was to get more specific, accurate and reliable data. There were two kinds of questionnaires that would be used in this research.

(42)

section consisted of ten (10) closed-response questions. The second section consisted of two (2) opened-response questions. In the first section, the research participants were required to rate how strongly they agree with each statement written in the questionnaire. The research participants chose their answers by putting a check mark (D) in the box provided according to their opinion. In the second section, the research participants were required to answer the questions briefly by writing their answers in the space provided.

The second questionnaire was for the research participants after they enrolled in Teaching Practice Program. Similar with the first questionnaire, the second questionnaire consisted of two sections. The first section consisted of ten (10) closed-response questions, and the second section consisted of four (4) opened-response questions.

(43)

interview, in the second interview the writer would interview the same research participants. There were five (5) participants from Microteaching class.

D. Data Gathering Technique

The data would be gathered using questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaire would be distributed two times. The first questionnaire will be distributed before the students joining Teaching Practice Program. The writer would distribute the first questionnaire during the campus hour. The second questionnaire would be distributed after the research participants joining Teaching Practice Program.

In distributing the questionnaires, the writer came directly to the participant one by one and waited for them to fill the questionnaires. The writer did that in order to make sure all of the questionnaire would be back to the writer. Beside verbal gratitude, the writer would give them a token of appreciation which means to show gratitude to the research participants for their willingness to answer the questionnaires.

(44)

In doing the interview, the writer selected break time when the research participants already finished their Microteaching class. The interviewees answered the questions asked by the writer, and the writer records all the answers. If it was necessary, the writer would ask follow-up questions to obtain clarification and details.

After the questionnaires were administered and the interviews were conducted, the next step was to compile all the data that had been collected. The purpose of compiling the data was to put it into a form that would later be useful for storing, accessing, sorting and analyzing it (Brown, 2000). The answers written in the questionnaires can be considered as written record. The answer in the interview was recorded. The writer would transcribe them into written form and compile the notes, so that it could be accessed easily.

E. Data Analysis Technique

(45)

questionnaire, the range of possible answer is broader than closed-response questionnaire.

The first instrument is questionnaire. After the questionnaire was completed, each response option was assigned a number of scoring [e.g. ‘strongly agree = 4, ‘strongly disagree’ = 1]. In the questionnaire, the writer would find the central tendency of the data. Central tendency could be defined as the typical answer of a particular group of people. In survey research, the commonly reported central tendency statistics are the mean, mode, and the median. (Brown, 2000:118)

The most widely used measure of central tendency was the mean. According to Brown (2000:119) the mean of any set of numbers is similar to what you probably know as the arithmetic average. To calculate the mean, you add up whatever numbers are involved and divide them by the total number of numbers. The mean used to show the average answer given by the participant toward the questions. The mean measurement was done by computer using Excel program.

After the central tendencies were found, the data analysis process would be continued with data interpretation. The mean would show the reader the average answer from the research participants. The writer would present the percentage of the answer using tables. The tables were used to make the data easier to understand.

(46)

The second instrument is interview. After the interview was completed, the writer would transcribe the recording into written form. The transcript would show the overall answer given by the interviewee. Categorization also occurred here. After the transcription, the writer would compare the answer with the answer from opened-response questions. The data from opened-response question and interview would support the answer from closed-response question.

F. Research Procedure

1. Selecting a problem

The research was studying about the influence of Teaching Practice Program on the career selection changes of student teachers of English Language Education Study Program Students of Sanata Dharma University. The study would also include the causes of the changes and the students’ opinion toward Teaching Practice Program.

The writer considered that Teaching Practice was one of the most influential subjects for a teacher training students, whether they would be a teacher or not later. The concern to this matter supported the writer to select this topic as problem in this research.

2. Reviewing the literature on the problem

(47)

Barry A. Farber and some information about Teaching Practice Program from English Language Education Study Program guidance book.

3. Pre-Survey

In the beginning of the research, the writer would make some observation to the participant. In this phase, the writer would observe the research participants before making the instrument. It was the effort to make some considerations in making the instrument.

4. Instrument development

In this research the writer uses questionnaire as the research instrument. The instrument development can be done based on the observation before the instrument development. In this study, the writer would need 2 steps. The first step was done before Teaching Practice Program, and the second step would be carried out after Teaching Practice Program. The instrument would be using questionnaire and interview.

5. Instruments Distribution

(48)

6. Data collection

In this study, data gathering would include questionnaire and interview. The questionnaires would be distributed either during the campus hour or out of campus hour and would take place inside or outside the campus. The writer would directly collect the questionnaire to avoid any missing questionnaires. The interview would be done during the campus hour, and recorded directly by the writer.

7. Data analysis

This research would use descriptive statistic to characterize or describe a set of numbers in terms of central tendency and to show how the numbers disperse, or vary, around the center.

8. Data interpretation

The data interpretation would be involving description, graph and chart to make the reader easier to understand the finding and answer the research questions.

9. Result report

CHAPTER IV

RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

In this chapter, the writer would discuss the answers of the research questions in chapter I. The research questions were: (1) Do the students experience changes of career selection after following Teaching Practice Program (PPL)? (2) What are the motivations of the career selection changes of the students of Teaching Practice Program? And (3) What are Teaching Practice Program students’ opinion about Teaching Practice Program? To answer that questions the writer would provide the answer and discussion based on the data collected.

The research participants of this research consisted of eighteen (18) students from Microteaching class. This research was divided into two stages. The first stage of this research was carried out before Teaching Practice Program or during the microteaching class, and the second stage of this research was carried out after Teaching Practice Program in high school.

A. DATA PRESENTATION

1. Research Findings before Teaching Practice Program

In the first research, the research participants consisted of eighteen (18) people for filling out the questionnaire and five (5) people for interview. The research participants consisted of eleven (11) male and seven (7) female.

The writer will then discuss each statement from the questionnaire together with answers from interview session.

[image:51.612.131.510.224.570.2]

The table 4.2 shows the percentage of response of closed-response questionnaire before Teaching Practice Program.

From table 4.2 we could see that most of the research participants like teaching. The answer also strengthens by the result of interview session. The writer interviewed five (5) research participants out of eighteen (18) total research participants about their enthusiasm in teaching. Do they like teaching? From five (5) interviewees, all of them answered that they basically like teaching.

(52)
[image:52.612.132.506.241.501.2]

There were several reasons why they like teaching. The first one was because they could meet many new people in their teaching environment. It could be at school, language courses, at home, or their teaching institution. The second one was because they could share their knowledge to other people, to their students. From the interview, the writer knew that it was a valuable experience when they could make other people understand about what they know. They said that was the essence of being a teacher. The last reason why the research participants like teaching was because teaching was interesting. In their opinion teaching was a challenging job.

Table 4.3 Percentage of Response of Closed-Response Questionnaire before Teaching Practice Program

Statement: I want to be a teacher.

Table 4.3 shows that 44.4% of the research participants agree that they want to be a teacher, 33.3% strongly agree, and 22.2% disagree to the statement.

There were several reasons why the research participants want or do not want to become a teacher. They were because teaching is challenging, the research participants wanted to take part in building this country, the opportunity to meet many new people, and their loves to children. Supported by interview data and answers from opened-response question, there were also because being a teacher could improve their abilities in English Language. The research participants majoring in English Language Education Study Program, therefore it

was important to practice their ability by teaching. Some of the research participants stated that become a teacher was not really time consuming as a result they still could do other activities, but the other stated that become a teacher is absolutely time consuming.

[image:53.612.161.501.626.662.2]

On the other hand, there were some research participants who did not want to be teachers. It was because some of the research participants did not have any motivation in teaching; they simply do not like teaching and the working hours for teacher is too long. The reason that frequently appeared was about salary. The interesting thing was different opinion about teacher’s salary. The participant who wanted to be a teacher said that teacher’s salary rose significantly nowadays. In contrary, those who did not want to be a teacher said that teacher’s salary was too low for that big responsibility. “It is not fair”, said several research participants. According to them, a teacher has a big responsibility to the students. The teacher is responsible to the knowledge that absorbed by the students. It was a teacher’s responsibilities whether the students understand or not. If the responsibility was very big, then teacher should be paid more. Most of the research participants agreed that low salary became one reason why they did not want to be a teacher.

job. In their opinion, it was not an easy job. The research participants found that teaching is rather difficult. The difficulties were not only concerning the teaching method, but also concerning student – teacher relationship, how to make the students truly understand. The Teaching Practice Program students found that it was difficult as well. Some of them considered teaching as a relatively easy job, most of the research participants considered teaching not as an easy job.

Table 4.13 showed the percentage of responses of closed-response questionnaire after Teaching Practice Program. In this part, the writer would discuss the answer from closed-response one by one. The writer would combine the answer from closed-response questionnaire with the answers from opened-response questionnaire and the interview session.

Table 4.13 Percentage of Response of Closed-Response Questionnaire after Teaching Practice Program

Statement: I like teaching.

Based on the data, we could see that after Teaching Practice Program, the research participants still had high passion in teaching. The percentage between those who strongly agree and those who agree to the statement that they like teaching is equal, 46, 1%. Only 7, 7% of the research participants disagree that they like teaching

After joining Teaching Practice Program in high school most of the research participants admitted that they like teaching. The degree of their teaching passion was strongly agreed. Six (6) participants strongly agree that they like teaching, the other six (6) participants agree to the statement, and the rest was one (1) participant disagree. According to the data from opened-response questions and interview conveyed that the research participants like teaching. The degree of agreement for this question in this research compared to previous research (before Teaching Practice Program) it was increased 0.21. It showed that their passion in

difficulties in teaching in high school. It was also supported by the interview data, which was conveyed that they found many difficulties dealing with many aspects in high school. For example dealing with the student – teacher relationship, making whole semester lesson plan, doing the administration job, the less cooperation from the supervisor (teacher and lecturer), and so on.

[image:63.612.136.505.254.557.2]

The next statement was about teaching difficulties that the students found in high school affect their decision to be a teacher. The result was shown in the table below:

There were eight (8) research participants or 61.5% disagree, two (2) research participants or 15.3% strongly agree, and three (3) research participants or 16.6% agree to the statement. The research participants who disagree, it means that they did not experience many difficulties in school administration job. In interview and opened-response question there were some research participants who were not burdened by any school administration job. On the other hand, according to the interview and opened-response data, those who found difficulties stated that administration in high school is very complex. Even though school administration job is part of the teacher profession, the research participants felt that the school administration job given to them were too much.

B. Discussion

1. Career Selection Changes of Microteaching Students (Student

Teachers) before and after Teaching Practice Program

In this part, the writer would discuss the answers of the research problem, the discussion and explanation on it. The first research question was: “Do the students experience career selection changes after following Teaching Practice Program (PPL)?”

From the data from the questionnaire and interview, the writer found that there were changes of career selection of Microteaching students before and after doing Teaching Practice Program. There were eighteen (18) research participants joined the research in the beginning, but in the end there were only thirteen (13) research participants remained. There were seven (7) research participants experienced career selection changes before and
