×The purpose of this study is to describe the perceptions of English teachers
in Blora about their paticipation in classroom action research, their thinking about
instructional teaching practices and the impact of this thinking on teaching
practice. There are two areas to describe: (a) the English teachers’ perception
about their participation in classroom action research, and (b) the English
teachers’ perception about their teaching after conducting classroom action
research.
The data were collected from the interview with some English teacherparticipants
in Blora, classroom observation, the collection of teacher and studentwork
and related artifacts. The data that the researcher had included were all about
how the English teachers-participants in Blora participated in the action research,
reflected and perceived change in their instruction.The research showed that there
were not many English teachers in Blora engaged to join the action research.
When offered to thirty teachers, there were only five who wanted to participate.
But three were considered enough by the researcher as the samples of this study
case to represent every district in Blora regency.
The result of the research showed that all of the three teacher-partcipants
first, had similar opinions that participating in the action research had some
advantages and positive impact to their development not only on their career but
also their teaching practices. Second, when they did their classroom action
research and followed the steps suggested, all participants perceived changes and
realized that their instruction that they maintained so far needed to improve
because when they reflected from their students - work data from the previous
teaching and learning process was unsatisfactory. First, Teacher A noted that his
class got the mean 61on the previous teaching and learning process. Then, it
increased from 67 on Cycle One to 74 on Cycle Two. Second, Teacher B noted
that his class got the mean 54.08 on the previous teaching and learning process.
Then, it increased from 60.31 on Cycle One to 65.33 on Cycle Two. Finally,
Teacher C noted that her class got the mean 50.83 on the previous teaching and
learning process. Then, it increased from 56.95 on Cycle One to 65.37 on Cycle
Two.
Based on the facts that action research could make the English teacherparticipants
in Blora improve their reflective teaching practice, there should be
more teachers doing the same thing.
