CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents the introduction of the thesis. It contains of background of
the study, identification of the problem, limitation of the problem, problem
formulation, objectives of the study, and significance of the study.
A. Background of the Study
The globalization era, political, economical, social and culture relationship
has been increasing in recent years, it causes the human life entire the world is
more-opened. In this case the quality of human resource is very important, when a
country is more opened; the country will get some benefits in many sectors such
as education, social, politic and economy. It also makes the need of English has
been increasing in recent years. As an international language, English is a tool to
have the communication among the countries, written or spoken. Communication
is very important in informing the information, improving the technology,
science, and the culture. Huebener (1969 : 9) in Dewi (2008) states that the
communication ability is the ability to understand or producing the texts, spoken
or written.
Based on the problem above the need to improve the English skill is very
important recently, especially for developing countries such as Indonesia. It
causes the need of English teacher also has been increasing. Based on the data
from LITBANG community magazine the requirement of teacher has been
increasing since 2011 with the average 400 teacher of each year, it shows that
English teachers are more needed. Another implication is many universities which
have English Education Program Study (PBI) sustain the increasing of registrants
each year.
The need of English teacher in the the world, also has the important role in
increasing of the number the registrants. The government policy to increase the
welfare of teacher profession makes people begin to pay more attention toward
teacher profession. The research conducted by BALITBANG (Balai Penelitian
dan Pengembangan ) found that there was influence between the government
policy about teacher welfare and the student‟s interest to be English teacher. The
population of the research was the universities entire of Indonesia which had
English Education study program. It can be seen from the number of students who
chose English Education Study Program. In 2007 the government policy started to
be implemented, the influence toward the university was about 31,5 %. In 2008-
2009 the government had been implemented the policy, the influence was about
51,3%.
English teacher profession also has the additional value based on the
competency. English is perceived as a good choice, because it has a high prospect
in the future. One of the reasons is English becomes an international language,
therefore the developing country need the English human resource. Besides
English has the broad scope which can be implemented in the most of profession
such as banker, translator, ambassador and other professions. The development of
International school also makes English teacher is much needed.
Language teaching has its own characteristic and it is different from
another lesson. Language teacher teaches the students how to communicate and
expressing the idea, both spoken and written, therefore language teaching has
different method with other lesson. The need of English nowadays, causes English
as one of the important lessons in every school in Indonesia. It makes English
language teaching has its own different method and technique, as the result
English teachers are required to master the method and technique, besides English
teacher also should master the four skill of language, namely listening, speaking,
reading and writing.
English teacher has some criterion. Patel and Jain (2008 : 145) explains
the criterion of English teacher:
He must be lover of English, He must have sound knowledge of
English language as well as literature, He must know different
methods of teaching English, He must have and ability and skill
to teach methodically and systematically.
Based on the requirements competency, English teacher should master four
English skills namely, listening, speaking, reading, and writing. An English
teacher should have influent speaking, a good technique in writing English, and
can identify the English mistakes from the student.
Ahmad Dahlan University (UAD) as one of 50 promising universities in
the world tries to answer the global challenge and the need of society by
organizing the English Education Program Study (PBI), therefore UAD has the
purpose to produce the professional English teachers. The efforts to produce the
good and professional English teacher is influenced by some factors; one of the
factors is learning process during the lecturing. Learning process is influenced by
two factors, external and internal factors. Abror (1993 :72) explains that the
external factors are social condition, classroom environment, the teacher itself and
learning facilities. The internal factors are motivation and interest in learning
process.
The students‟ interest and motivation to be English teacher is very
important in learning process. According to Winkel (1996 : 30) interest can be
defined as a human tendency toward something, it causes the human to know
more and having the attitude to achieve the interest.. In educational psychology,
interest can influence learning attitude and learning behavior. Ainley and Hidi in
Woolfolk (2009 : 205) asserts high interest causes positive respond toward the
learning material, higher persistency, and higher achievement,. Abror (1992 : 112)
explains that interest has two base elements, namely cognition and conation.
Cognition can be an individual perception toward something and conation is
implemented into the will and motivation to understand it deeply. The interest to
be English teacher can be defined as a tendency to understand deeply about
English teacher profession and a will to be English teacher.
Interest is one of the intrinsic motivations; it comes from the individual
itself. When an individual has the interest, it raises the motivation of the
individual. According to Woolfolk (2009 :193) motivation is an internal condition
which arises, leads, and maintain the attitude the individual to reach the goal,
while Deci and Ryan (2002) in Woolfolk (2009 : 188) defines intrinsic motivation
as a natural tendency to find the challenge to fill the personal interest or
implement the self competency.
One of the efforts to answer the global challenge is producing the good
and professional English teacher, thus the topic is very important to be examined.
The success of learning process not only depends on the institute, but also
depends on the student. A good learning condition without the high interest and
motivation from the student will not make the effective learning process. Based on
the short observation by the researcher, in reality some of PBI students do not
have interest and motivation to be English teacher, yet because of the impression
from the parents, friends and the other condition they choose PBI as their program
study. Surely, this case will influence their learning process.
Interest and motivation as an internal factor, which comes from the
individual itself play an important role in the success of producing good English
teacher. High interest and motivation from the students can make the students
having the effort to improve their quality by themselves. It will make the best
synergies between students and university to produce good English teacher. In
summary, the research is important to be examined as one of the efforts to make
the best synergies between the students and the university.
Based on the explanation above, the researcher will try to explore the
research by the title: “The Students‟ Interest and Motivation to be English Teacher
of PBI Student of Ahmad Dahlan University in The Academic Year 2011/2012 ”
B. Identification of the Problem
Nowadays the globalization era, political, economical and social
relationship among the countries entire the world require the country to be more
opened. It makes the countries need to improve the quality of human resource;
one of the ways to improve the quality of human resource is improving the quality
of English skill to communicate. People are required to communicate in English
both spoken and written. The need of English nowadays, makes the people start to
pay attention toward English. English is perceived as a good prospect, because
English as an international language has a bright future. English competency can
not only be used as a teacher but also for other profession, therefore many people
think that English has high prospect in the future
The expansion of English also influences the need of English teacher in
Indonesia, recently the need of English teacher in Indonesia has been increasing,
as the results the registrant of PBI students in university had been increasing.
Besides, the government policy also plays the important role in in increasing the
registrant of PBI students, the teachers are guaranteed in their welfare, it makes
the society believes that English teacher is a promising job. English teacher has its
own criterion to fill the requirement; English teacher should master the four skills
of English language, listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Ahmad Dahlan University tries to answer the global challenge and the
need of the society by operating English Education program study in order to
produce the good and professional English teacher. One of the efforts in
producing the good and professional English teacher can be started from the
learning process. Learning process is influenced by two factors, external factor
such as classroom environmental, learning facilities and the quality of teacher.
Internal factors such as students‟ interest and motivation to learn something.
Interest can be defined as a human tendency toward something; it
continues to know it more. Interest can make a human to be more motivated and
have a high will to do a profession. Interest has two base elements, namely
cognition element and conation element. Cognation can be the perception about
English teacher profession, while conation is implemented into a will and
motivation to be English teacher. Motivation is an internal condition which makes
an individual having a high will to reach the goal. It can influences individual
attitudes to reach the goal. Motivation is very important in learning process
because motivation can maintain the individual attitude to persistent in his way to
reach the goal.
The success of learning process not only depends on the institution but
also depends on the students itself. Based on the short observation, some of the
PBI students of Ahmad Dahlan University, do not have interest and motivation,
the choose PBI because of the certain condition such as the impression from the
parents and friends. The PBI students should have a high interest and motivation,
it is because PBI students is required to have a good behavior in learning process
in order to be a good English teacher, therefore the topic is important to be
examined.

that can be discussed in this research; they are the need of improving English skill,
the need of English teacher in Indonesia, the prospect of English teacher, and the

need of society. Because of limited knowledge and time, the research is focused

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter presents the researcher analysis of the students‟ interest and
motivation to be English teacher, therefore it presents reviews of related theories
on English teacher profession, interest, motivation and social backgrounds
influence motivation
A. Review of Relevant Studies
A research from Dwi Kuncahayani (2007) entitled “A Descriptive Study
On The Interest Of The Sub Urban Students In Learning English Of The
Second Grade Of Smp Muhammadiyah 1 Samigaluh Kulon Progo In The
Academic Year Of 2011/2012” also used the theory of interest and the social
factor affecting the interest. The research used descriptive statistic to examine the
interest and the social factor by calculating mean and standard deviation. To know
the dominant social factors affecting the interest, the researcher used percentage.
The result showed that the students‟ interest to learn English were in the fair
category and the dominant social factor affecting the students‟ interest is family
support (10.2%).
B. Theoritical Framework
There are four theories which construct this research, they are the theory of
english teacher profession, interest, motivation, and social factors leading to
students‟ interest and motivation. The theory is gathered from the literature study
of educational psychology and the theory of English teaching.
1. English Teacher Profession
Hornby (2011 :351) defines that profession is a type of job that needs
special knowledge. The word profession refers to someone who has a special
competency and knowledge so that he can be said as a professional. Ur (2010 :
388) states :
A „professional‟ is, broadly speaking, someone whose work
involves performing a certain function with some degree of
expertise. But a narrower definition limits the term to apply to
people such as doctors, teachers and lawyers, whose expertise
involves not only skill and knowledge but also the exercise of
highly sophisticated judgement, and whose accreditation
necessitates extensive study, often university-based, as well as
practical experience
Professional is a special term which refers to someone who has the specific
requirements, the special competency and exceeds some of the degree to be an expert.
Generally, people see a professional in certain occupations such as doctor, lawyer,
teacher and etc.
Millerson (1964) in Whitty (2006 : 2) “The main approach at this point focused
on establishing the features that an occupation should have in order to be termed a
profession”. He continues that a professional should have some of the criterion such as
the use of skills based on theoretical knowledge, education and training in those skills
certified by examination, a code of professional conduct oriented towards the „public
good‟, and a powerful professional organisation
Teacher is one of the professions that starts to be interested in, therefore a
teacher should have a professionalism. Ali Imron (1995: 199) defines a teacher as
someone who has a task and duty in formal education. Teacher profession is a
work in formal education which needs a special competency based on the
education norm. A professional teacher should have some criterion such as
academic qualification, pedagogic competency, personality competency,
professional competency and social competency. According to Susilo (2010 : 22)
teacher professionalism emphasizes to the knowledge mastery, management
ability and strategy application. One of the professionalism requirements is
knowledge mastery, based on the explanation above English teacher can be
defined as a person who teaches English.
Recent years, English language teaching has been improved in most of the
countries, thus English teacher profession has become popular profession. In order
to have a better English language teaching, English teacher is required to increase
his professionalism. Teaching foreign language is certainly different from
teaching another lesson. It is because English teacher has its own criteria; English
teacher should master four English skills. According to Patel dan Jain (2008: 145)
an English teacher should have some criterion as follows:
a. He must be lover of English
b. He must have sound knowledge of English language as well as
literature
c. He must know different methods of teaching English
d. He must have and ability and skill to teach methodically and
systematically
They continue that an English teacher is as facilitator not a conventional teacher,
as an instructor not a preacher, as a content and material developer, and as a
classroom manager. Another brief explanation about English teacher skills and
competency is explained bellow:
a. He must know how to use different audio visual aids
b. He must be able to pronounce English responsible correctly
c. He must have ability to speak English correctly
d. He must know the techniques of writing
e. He must know and speak observing correct intonation and stress
pattern
f. He must be able to speak with correct phrases
g. He must have and ability to understand his students
h. He should always take interest in his students and become soft toward
his students
i. He must have an ability to identify the mistakes of his students
j. He must have an ability of thinking power
k. He must have an ability to adopt necessary remedial measurements
l. He should have good hand writing
m. He must have the knowledge of different types of activities and how
to organize all activities.
English teacher professionalism has an important role in English language
teaching, because it can influence toward the student ability in learning English.
An explanation from Arthur E. Vallicelli in his essay “The Role of Teacher
Professionalism in Education”
Teacher professionalism has relevant significance in education in
that it affects the role of the teacher and his or her pedagogy,
which in return affects the student‟s ability to learn effectively. It
can be defined as the ability to reach students in a meaningful
way, developing innovative approaches to mandated content
while motivating, engaging, and inspiring young adult minds to
prepare for ever-advancing technology.
In summary professionalism can be defined as the teacher ability to bring his
student into the learning enthusiasm, thus they can be more motivated to learn
English.
2. Interest
According to Winkel (1996 :30) interest is a human tendency to be
interested toward something and being happy to include inside it. Another
definition comes from Sanjaya (2005 :7) interest is a tendency to do an action for
example, the interest to be a certain profession. Whitterington (1983 : 135) also
explains that interest is an individual awareness that the object, person, or
situation have the relation with him, therefore the individual should have the
information before his interest raises. Another definition comes from Sanjaya
(2005 :7) interest is a tendency to do an action for example, the interest to be a
certain profession. Based on the definition above interest can be defined as a
human tendency toward something and it can make human interested to include
inside it.
Interest has some functions in human life, it can lead human to know the
purpose of the life and to know the effort to reach the aim of life, so that human
can know the advantage and disadvantage things in the life. A brief explanation
about the functions of interest from Whitherington (1999:136), he explains that
interest is very beneficial for human life, it leads human to reach the goal of life
and to do the useful things for his life, because he realize that he should fill his
need. On the other hand interest also can give a complete view of life. In
conclusion interest is very beneficial for human life because it leads human to
reach his goal of life. Without a goal of life, human will not have a good life.
Woolfolk (2009 :204) states that there are two kinds of interest, situational
interest and personal interest. Personal interest is the enduring aspect of human, it
grows from human itself. Ormord (2006 : 401) explains that situational interest is
influenced by the environment. Personal interest is more beneficial than
situational interest because personal interest is relatively stable, yet situational
interest depends on the environment, so that situational interest can change by the
time.
Interest is very important in learning process, it can make students pay
more attention to the subject and cognitively engaged (M.A Mc Daniel, Wadill,
Finstad, and Bourg (2000) in Wolkfoolk, 2009 : 205). Wolkfoolk continues that
high interest can make more positive emotional respond, higher persistency in
learning, deeper process in learning, memorizing the learning material well and
high learning achievement. Students and learning process cannot be separated
from interest because it can influence the student in learning process.
There are two base elements in interest. Abror (1992 :112) explains that
interest has two base elements, namely cognition element and conation elements.
Cognition can be an information and perception about an object which is
interested in, and conation can be implemented toward attitude. Information can
rise up the human interest toward an object, if human have negative information
they will have less interest toward an object, in contrast if human have positive
information they will have much interest toward an object.
The interest to be English teacher is mind, feeling, and attention
concentration toward English teacher profession. The interest to be English
teacher can arise from perception, positive respond, and tendency toward an
object. Based on the explanation above the interest to be English teacher is a
tendency toward English teacher profession which is showed by the mind
concentration, pleasant feeling, and much attention toward English teacher. The
indicators of the interest to be English teacher are information about English
teacher profession, the pleasant feeling and a tendency toward English teacher
profession, and a will to be English teacher.
The functions of student‟s interest to be English teacher are the student
will pay more attention to understand the English profession; furthermore the
student will have some efforts to grow up his competency and ability to be a
professional teacher.
3. Motivation
Motivation can be defined as an arousal for human to do something.
According to Woolfolk (2009 :186) motivation is an internal factor which rises,
leads, and maintain the human attitude. Another explanation comes from Ormrod
(2006 : 365) “motivation is something that energizes, directs, and sustains
behavior. It gets student moving points them in a particular direction, and keeps
them going”. Based on the explanation, motivation is something that comes from
internal individual which can energize, direct, and sustain behavior in order to
reach a goal.
Generally, motivation can be divided into two, intrinsic and extrinsic
motivations. Deci (1975) in Brown (2008 : 188) explains that the activities, which
are motivated by intrinsic motivation, do not have the incentive because it satisfies
the individual itself. In other word, intrinsic motivation is a natural tendency to
find a challenge to fill the personal interest and implement self competency. In
contrast, Brown (2008 : 188) explains that extrinsic motivation is stimulated by
external factor.
There are four perspective of motivation, Woolfolk (2009 : 192)
summarizes the perspective. The first is behavioral perspective; the motivation
source is extrinsic motivation. It emphasizes the reward, punishment and the
incentive of learning process. The second is humanistic perspective, the
motivation source is intrinsic motivation. The focus is the need of self-esteem,
self-fulfillment, and self-determination. Third, cognitive perspective, the
motivation source is intrinsic motivation. It focuses on belief, expectation, and
failure. The last perspective is socio-cultural perspective; the source motivation is
intrinsic motivation. It emphasizes toward the participation in society.
There are several theories of motivation, the famous theory of motivation
comes from Maslow with the need hirearchy. The Maslow‟s theory is based on
the students need, there are five basic needs in Maslow‟s theory. The first need is
Physiological needs such as hunger, and sleep. The second is safety needs, these
needs represent the importance of security, protection, stability freedom from
anxiety and the need from structure and limits. Third, love and belongingness
needs. This category refers to our need for family and friends. Fourth, esteem
needs. These needs direct us to the reactions of other to us as individual and our
opinion of ourselves, and the last need is need for self actualization. Here Maslow
refers to the tendency to feel competence.
Another theory of motivation is expectency X values theory, in this theory
motivation is seen as two main factors: the individual expectancy of the goal and
the meaning of goal itself for the individual. If one of the factors does not exist,
there is no motivation to reach it. Motivation also can be seen from the socio
cultural which is explained from socio-cultural theory. The theory emphasizes to
the participation of the community practice. The students will have high
motivation if they have the environment which gives the high value to the
learning. The theory of motivation also comes from Weiner with the theory of
attribution. Attribution theory relates to the need for achievement, it also relates
to the student‟s determination of their self. For example the students have some
perceptions about the examination, such as “the examination is absolutely
difficult”, “the teacher dislikes me”, “I‟m not good in this subject”. There are four
elements in attribution theory: Ability, Effort, Luck and Task Difficulty.
Motivation can affect on student‟s learning and behavior. As Ormord
(2006 : 366) summarizes :
a. It directs behavior toward particular goals; it also affects the
student‟s choice.
b. It leads to increase effort and energy, motivation will give the
student additional effort and energy in expending the student
competency related to their needs and goal
c. It increases initiation and persistent in activity.
d. It enhances cognitive processing. Motivation makes the student to
pay more attention toward the material.
e. It determines what consequences are reinforcing and punishing
f. It leads to improve a performance. Goal-directed behavior, energy
and effort, initiation, persistence, cognitive processing, and impact
of consequences of ten lead student to improve the performance
To sum up, the study about motivation is often focused on how the human act to
reach a goal (attitude), how often the human do the activity and how long the
duration is (time), how human has the persistency in maintaining the motivation
(persistency), and what is human feeling during the process (the pleasant feeling
of something)
4. Social Factors cause Interest and Motivation
There are some factors influence interest and motivation, according to
Sukardi in Krisnadi (2006 :17) two factors influence the interest are individual
factor and social factor. Individual factor is the factors come from the individual
itself, such as intelligent; talent, maturity and personality. Social factor is the
factors which are caused by social condition, such as the environment, social and
economic background and family background. According to Crow&Crow (1973 :
22) the factors that influence interest are :
a. The Factor of Inner Urges
A stimulus from the outside, which is suitable with the needs of an
individual, can raise the individual interest. For example the need of
learning can raise a student interest toward the certain subject.
b. Emotional Factor
The factor relates to the individual feeling toward the individual
experience. If an individual experiencing the success in particular subject
it can raise the individual interest in contrast if an individual experiencing
the failure, it can reduce the interest.
c. The Factor of Social Motive
The social factors also have influences in raising the interest; the social
factors can be friends, parents, or the society. Friends have an important
role in promoting interest to the individual, if they have a particular
interest, the individual will possibly have the same interest.
Fathoni (1988 :11) also explains that there are some social factors
influence interest, they are : dream, teacher role, school facilities, family, friends
and mass media. A brief explanation about factors affecting motivation comes
from Ormrod (2006 : 424), he explains that there are three factors affecting
motivation, namely :
a. Ethnic differences
The learners have the motivation based on their society. The ethnic
background influences their emotion, anxiety, expectation, self-determination and
behavior in learning. For the example learners who come from the most ethnic
have the high motivation in learning, in contrast learners who come from the
minority ethnic may have a high motivation in learning. To sum up it may be the
result of the discriminative practices in the society.
b. Gender Differences
A gender difference has the influence in motivation, for example girls
usually are more concerned about doing well in school. They work harder on
assignment, earn higher grades, engage in less self-handicapping, and more often
graduate from school (Urdan and Migley 2001, in Ormrod, 2006 : 385). The
perspective about the job related to gender can influence the motivation of the
learners to choose their interest in learning. The students will consider wether the
job is suitable with their gender or not, as an example teacher is usually perceived
as a job which is suitable for women.
c. Socioeconomic differences
Socioeconomic differences have the roles to motivate the student, Wilson
and Corbett (2001) in Ormrood (2006 : 385) states that the students who come
from the low socioeconomic backgrounds have higher motivation from others, it
is because they want to make their family life better than before. In conclusion,
there are some factors influence interest and motivation of the students, they are :
environment, family background, gender background, and socioeconomic
background.
C. Conceptual Framework
Becoming a professional English teacher is much need nowadays; it needs
hard effort to be professional English teacher. The effort is much influenced by
internal factors which are interest and motivation. Interest and motivation to be
English teacher are the important factors for the PBI students to have the effort to
be a good and professional English teacher; therefore it needs to know the level of
interest and motivation category of PBI UAD students. After knowing the level of
interests‟ and motivation of PBI UAD students‟ it also needs to know the social
factors leading to their interests‟ and motivation.
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
This chapter presents the sequential procedure of this research. There are several
interconnected parts that build research method. This parts are research type,
population, sample, and sample technique, data collecting technique, research
instrument, and data analyzing technique
A. Research Type
Arikunto (2010 : 2) explains there are three types of research, namely
descriptive, experiment, and action research. Descriptive comes from the word
“describe” which means to draw or to explain something, such as phenomenon,
condition, situation event and etc. Experiment can be defined as a research which
examined the causality; then action research is a research in which the researcher
does a continuous action to achieve the maximal result.
Arikunto (2010 : 3) continues that there four types of descriptive research,
namely pure descriptive or survey, correlational study, comparison study, and
trace study. Pure descriptive is a descriptive research which is only examined the
data in the field research; correlational study is a research to know the causality
toward the data. The comparison study is to compare the data between two
condition, and trace study is to observe the past.The type of this research was pure
descriptive because this research was only aimed to describe the students‟ interest,
motivation to be English teacher and the social factors leading to their interest and
motivation.
Bogdan and Biklen (1982) in Sugiyono (2011 : 13) the characteristic of
qualitative research is that the data are in the forms of word or picture rather than
number; on the other hand, quantitative research the data are in numbers.
Sugiyono (2011 : 15) also explains the instruments of quantitative research are
standard test and questionnaire, yet the instruments of qualitative research are
human instrument, notes, tape recorder, camera, and etc. The methodology used
by researcher was quantitative, because in getting the data the researcher used
questionnaire and the data are in numbers. This research involved three variables
that would be described, namely students‟ interest, students‟ motivation and the
social factors leading to their interest and motivation.
B. Population, Sample and Sampling Technique
1. Population
Arikunto ( 2010 : 173) states that population is all of the research
subjects. The population of this research was the students of English
Education Department of Ahmad Dahlan University in the academic year
2011/2012. Based on the data from the office management of faculty (TU)
the numbers of PBI students in the academic year 2011/2012 are 1486
students.
2. Sample and Sampling Technique
Arikunto (2010 : 174) explains that sample is the representation of
the population that will be examined by the researcher, in this research the
researcher used proportional sample. The technique of this research was
proportional simple random sampling technique. Proportional simple
random sampling is a technique sampling random from each sub
population. The formulation is explained by Yamane Yamane (1973) in
Riduwan (2005 :249), by significance 95% and sampling error 5 %
𝑛 =𝑁
𝑁𝑑2+1
Explanation:
n = the number of sample
N = Population
d = decision of degree 5%
Based on the formulation above, the sample was determined as follow:
𝑛 =1486
1486 . 0.05 2+ 1 = 355,9 ( is rounded to 356 )
The sample used was proportional sample, to allocate the sample for each
grade, the formulation is:
𝑛𝑖 = 𝑁𝑖
𝑁. 𝑛
Explanation :
𝑛𝑖= The sample in the first proportion
𝑁𝑖= The first population
N = Total Population
n = The sample used in the research
The sample in this research can be determined as follow

4 2011 259 𝑛𝑖 =259
1486 .356= 62,0 62
Total = 1486 Total = 356
C. Data Collecting Technique
Data collecting technique is a way to collect the data research. The data
collecting technique used in this research was questionnaire. According to
Arikunto (2010 : 194) questionnare is number of questions or statements which is
used to get the information from the respondents. Arikunto (2010 :195) explains
that there are two method of questionnaire open-questionnaire and close
questionnaire. Open questionnaire is a questionnaire in which the respondent can
answer the question by their selves; in contrast closed-questionnaire is a
questionnaire in which the respondents choose the answer, because the answer has
been provided by the researcher. The questionnaire method in this research was
closed-questionnaire. The questionnaire method was used to get the information
about the student‟s interest, the student‟s motivation to be English teacher and the
social background leading to their interest and motivation.
D. Research Instrument
Sugiyono (2009 : 148) says that instrument is a tool which is used to
measure the observed nature and social phenomenon. The research instrument in
this research was closed- questionnaire. The questionnaire used modification of
Likert scales which were SS (Very Agree) with score 4, S (Agree) with score 3,
TS (Disagree) with score 2, and STS (Very Disagree) with score 1.
Based on the definitions of each variable the researcher determined the
indicator of each variable and made the formulation of the questionnaire as
follow:

1. Validity of the Instrument
Validity test is used to get the certainty of the item question.
Sugiyono (2009 : 121) explains that an instrument can be said as a valid
instrument if the instrument can measure what should be measured. There
are two kinds of validity, namely internal validity and external validity.
Sugiyono (2011 :123) explains that internal validity is used when the
instrument is improved from the relevance theory, in contrast external
validity is used when the instrument is improved from the empirical or
experienced facts. Based on the explanation above this research used
internal validity.
Sugiyono (2011 : 123) continues that internal validity should have
construct validity and content validity. Tjahjono (2009 :17) defines that
construct validity is used to measure based on the theory how the test is
designed then the test is consulted to the expert, on the other hand content
validity is validity that shows a concept that had been drawn. To try out
the instrument by using construct validity, the instrument of this research
is consulted to the thesis consultant then the instrument was tried out to the
object outside of the sample by using item validity. Arikunto (2009 :76)
explains that item validity measures each item of the instrument, an item
can be said as a valid item if the item score has the correlation with the
total score, therefore it used product moment correlation formula as
follows :
𝑟𝑥𝑦 = 𝑁 𝑋𝑌− 𝑋 𝑌
𝑁 𝑋2 − 𝑋2 𝑁 𝑌2− 𝑌2
Explanation :
𝑟𝑥𝑦 = Correlation index of “r” Product Moment
N = Number of cases
𝑋𝑌 = Multiplying between X score and Y score
𝑋 = Total X score
𝑌 = Total Y score
(Sudijono, 2011 : 206)
2. Reliability of The Instrument
Arikunto (2010 : 221) states that reliability points to a definition
that an instrument is reliable to be used as a tool to collect the data because
the instrument is good. To try out the reliability of the instrument the
researcher used Cronbach Alpha technique. It was because the instrument
form of this research, formed the interval data in which the evaluation
score of item questionnaire were among 1-4. The formulation of Cronbach
Alpha technique as follow :
𝑟11 = 𝑘
𝑘−1 1 −
𝜎𝑏2
𝜎𝑡2
Explanation
𝑟11 = instrument reliability
𝑘 = the number of item question
𝜎𝑏2 = the number of item variants
𝜎𝑡2 = total variants
E. Data Analyzing Technique
To describe the students‟ interest and motivation to be English teacher, the
researcher used descriptive analysis and to describe the social factor leading to
their interest and motivation to be English teacher the researcher used percentage
of each factor.
1. Mean
Mean is used to find out the average score. It is the most efficient
measurement of central tendency or most frequently used to measure the
central tendency in statistic test
𝑀𝑥 = 𝑓𝑋
𝑁
Explanation :
𝑀𝑋= Mean Score
𝑓𝑋= the multiplication between midpoint and the frequency
𝑁= number of cases
Sudjiono (2011 :81)
2. Standard Deviation
Standard deviation shows the spread of score deviated from mean.
The formulation is :
𝑆𝐷 = 𝑋2
𝑁
Explanation :
SD = Standard Deviation
𝑋2=the numbers of deviation
N = the number of cases
3. The Categorization of Students‟ Interest and Motivation
To know the level of the student‟s interest and motivation, the
researcher limited and categorized the score and the variable by referring
to the normal distribution by using ideal mean and ideal standard deviation
The ideal mean was determined by multiplying a half of the
maximum score plus the minimum score possibly while the ideal standard
deviation is multiplying one sixth-of the maximum score plus the
minimum score possibly.
Scale Scale Number Category
1.5 M+ 1.5 (SD) Very High
0.5 M+0.5 (SD) High
-0.5 M-0.5 (SD) Fair
-1.5 M-1.5 (SD) Low
-1.5 <M-1.5 (SD) Very Low
4. Percentage
To know the social factors leading to students‟ interest and
motivation to be English teacher the researcher used percentage of each
factor. There are four factors leading to students‟ interest and motivation
namely social environment, family background, gender background, and
socioeconomic background. The formula of percentage was determined as
follow :
P = 𝐹
𝑁 x 100%
Explanation:
P = Percentage
F = Mean total of each factor
N = Mean total of all factors
CHAPTER IV
RESEARCH FINDING AND DISCUSSION
Before the data was collected, the instrument was tried out to the 30 PBI Students
out of the population. The result of instrument tried out is presented in this chapter
by showing the validity and reliability of the instrument. After the data of this
research has been collected and analyzed, the presentation of the data result
analysis is in this chapter. This chapter presents the descriptive analysis of
students‟ interest and motivation to be English teacher and the analysis of social
factors leading to their interest and motivation to be English teacher. The variables
of this research are students‟ interest to be English teacher, students‟ motivation to
be English teacher, and social factors leading to their interest and motivation to be
English teacher. The ideal mean and the ideal standard deviation (SD) of students‟
score are mainly discussed in this part. The calculation is calculated by the
computer program on SPSS and it is presented in appendix.
A. Validity of the Instrument
To know the validity of the instrument the researcher used item analysis
by using correlation product moment formula. From the 20 items of students‟
interest instrument it was found 4 invalid items, from the 20 items of students‟
motivation instrument it was found 7 invalid items, and from the 25 items of
social factors instrument it was found 8 invalid items. The criterion of valid item
by using correlation product moment is r table = 0,361, the item can be said as
invalid item when the item score is under 0,361.
From the students‟ interest instrument it was found that the invalid items
were item number 3 by r table 0.040, 7 by r table 0.269,14 by r table 0.324, and16
by r table 0.312, and then there were still 16 valid items to measure the students‟
interest. The students‟ motivation instrument showed that the invalid items werre
item number 23 by r table 0.118, 31 by r table 0.169, 33 by r table 0.150, 34 by r
table 0.027, 36 by r table 0.324, 38 by r table 0.118, and 39 by r table 0.175, so
that there were still 13 valid items to measure the students‟ motivation to be
English teacher. The invalid items of social factors leading to students‟ interest
and motivation were 9 invalid items, the numbers were 42 by r table 0.198, 43 by
r table 0.229, 44 by r table 0.229, 46 by r table 0.295, 47 by r table 0.142, 49 by r
table 0.142, 50 by r table 0,345, 52 by r table 0.306, and 53 by r table 0.3, there
were still 6 valid items from social factors instrument.
Based on the analysis above total the invalid items from 55 items were 19
items, 4 invalid items from students‟ interest instrument, 7 invalid items from
students‟ motivation instrument, and 8 invalid items from social factor instrument.
In summary total of the item instrument were 36 items, 16 items for students‟
interest, 13 items for students‟ motivation and 7 items for the social factors. The
invalid items in this research were eliminated; therefore the researcher only used
the valid items to collect the data.
B. Reliability of the Instrument
To measure the reliability of the instrument, the researcher used
Cronbach‟s Alpha, the criterion is the score of Crobanch‟s Alpha is more than 0.6.
In measuring the reliability only the valid items were measured. The result of the
calculation showed that all the items are reliable. The result of alpha score wass
0.931 it meant that the instrument were very reliable. The further explanation to
know the reliability of each item can be seen from the appendix.
C. Data Description
In this research, the researcher would like to reveal the level of students‟
interest and motivation to be English teacher. The level of students‟ interest and
motivation to be English teacher was interpreted based on the ideal mean and
ideal standard deviation (SD) score obtained by the PBI students. After knowing
the ideal mean and ideal SD score, the researcher calculated the categorization of
each variable then the researcher classified the mean score of each variable. The
categorizations were classified into five levels, namely very high, high, fair, poor,
and very poor. To analyze the social factors leading to their interest and
motivation, it was seen from the most dominant social factors. The data
description was classified into three parts; the description of students‟ interest, the
description of students‟ motivation, and the social factors leading to their interest
and motivation.
1. The Students‟ Interest to be English teacher
The result of the ideal mean and the ideal SD of students‟ interest were in
the table below:
Table 3 Ideal Mean and Ideal Standard Deviation
Minimum
Score
Maximum
Score
Mean Ideal
Mean
(M)
SD Ideal SD
(SD)
N
16 64 49.52 40 5.7 13.3 16
Minimum score could be determined by multiplying N and the lowest
score possibly, while the maximum score could be determined by multiplying N
and the highest score possibly. The research used modification Likert scale by the
rank 1-4, the lowest score possibly was 1 and the highest score possibly was 4,
therefore it was gained the minimum score was 16 and the maximum score was
64.
Ideal mean can be determined by multiplying a half of maximum score
plus the minimum score, the result score of ideal mean was 40, while the ideal
standard deviation could be determined by multiplying one-sixth of maximum
score plus minimum score, the result score of standard deviation was 13.3.
After knowing the ideal mean and ideal standar deviation the
categorization level of students‟ interest was calculated. The formula of
categorization could be calculated from the Ideal Mean (M) and Ideal Standard
Deviation (SD), the calculation can be shown in the table below :
Scale Scale Number Category
1.5 M+ 1.5 (SD) - Maximum score Very High
0.5 M+0.5 (SD) - < M+ 1.5 (SD) High
-0.5 M-0.5 (SD) - < M + 0.5 (SD) Fair
-1.5 M-1.5 (SD) - < M-0.5 (SD) Low
-1.5 Minimum score- < M-1.5 (SD) Very Low
After the calculation of ideal mean and ideal standard deviation, the
categorization as follow :
Table 4 Categorization Level of Students Interest
Interval Category
59,95 - 64 Very High
46.65 – < 59.95 High
33.35 – < 46.65 Fair
20.05 – < 33.35 Poor
16 – < 20.05 Very Poor
From the calculation that had been done, the result of mean score from the
students‟ interest instrument was 49.52. It means that the category of PBI UAD
students‟ interest to be English teacher is in the high category. The specification
category of each grades were the 2011 students had the mean score 52.5 it meant
that most of the 2011 students had high interest to be English teacher. The 2010
students had the mean score 49.1 so that they were also in high category. The
mean score of 2009 students was 49.3 and they were in the high category. The
lowest mean score came from 2008 students, although they were also in high
category. The mean score of 2008 students was 48.3, on the other hand the highest
mean score came from 2011 students with the score 52.5. The summary of the
specification can be seen in the table below :
Table 5 Specification Level of Students Interest
Grade Mean Score Level
2011 52.5 High
2010 49.1 High
2009 49.3 High
2008 48.3 High
Interest is constructed from some indicators namely; the information about
English teacher profession, the tendency and pleasant feeling to be English
teacher, paying more attention toward English teacher profession, and the will and
ambition to be English teacher. Each indicator has contributed to construct the
interest. The contribution of each indicator could be known from the mean score
and it was converted to the percentage. The calculation results for the information
about English teacher profession was 3.21, the tendency and pleasant feeling to be
English teacher was 3.09, paying more attention toward English teacher
profession was 3.04, and the will and ambition to be English teacher was 3.0.
Based on the result it was known that the highest mean score was information
about English teacher by mean score 3.21.
The percentage could be calculated from the total mean score of each
indicator divided the total mean of interest which was 49. 52 and it was multiplied
with 100 %, the formula can be seen as follow :
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠 x 100 %
To know the contribution of each indicator can be seen from the picture below :
Chart 1 : The Distribution of The Indicators of Student’s Interest
Based on the picture above, the information about English teacher
profession has the highest contribution to construct the interest, then attention also
give the highest contribution after the information. After the information and
Information32.41%
Tendency and pleasant feeling
18.76%
Attention24.56%
Will and ambition24.26%
attention the ambition gave the contribution and the last tendency and pleasant
feeling also gave the contribution to construct interest.
The students build their interest from the information about English
teacher from many sources. In the instrument there were four information sources;
family, lecturer, mass media, and society. Based on the analysis of the information
sources, the society had the highest role in informing the students about the
English teacher by the mean score 3.41 converted to the percentage 26.64 % then;
mass media gave the second role in informing the students about English teacher
after the society by the mean score 3.235 converted to percentage 25.25 %. The
lecturers had the mean score 3.09, it meant lecturers contributed 24.41% and the
family had the mean score 3.07 and contributed 23.96 %.
After the students gained the information, they begin to pay more attention
toward English teacher profession. The analysis result showed that most of the
students thought that becoming an English teacher can make them give the
contribution for the country. The information from the mass media about the
development of English and English teacher in the world could be one of the
factors in contributing the perception that becoming of English teacher can make
them giving the contribution for the country; therefore they started to pay more
attention toward English teacher profession.
The information about English teacher profession and their attention
toward English teacher profession made them having will and ambition to be
English teacher. It was proved by the analysis which showed the result of the
instrument that after students gained the information and pay more attention
toward English teacher profession, they observed the advantages of becoming
English teacher. After they observed the advantages, they wanted to be English
teacher, yet the analysis result also showed that only few students that have a
dream to be English teacher. It means that most of the students want to be English
teacher only because of the condition, in this case the parents or the society.
The last indicator is tendency and pleasant feeling to be English teacher.
English teacher will make the life better was the first reason why they were
interested to be English teacher by the percentage 35%. Most of the students
thought that teaching English is the challenge for them, therefore they wanted to
be English teacher, the percentage of this reason was 32.89% and the last reason
was they thought that English teacher is more interesting than becoming teacher
another lesson by the percentage 32.07%.
To conclude, the students‟ interest to be English teacher was constructed
by four indicators. First, the information about English teacher profession which
were gained from some sources, after they have the information they started to
pay more attention toward English teacher profession and they observed the
advantages of becoming English teacher profession, so that they had a will and
ambition to be English teacher. After all of the process, the last indicator was
tendency and pleasant feeling to be English teacher, most of them believed that
English teacher profession will bring them to the better future, so that they had the
high interest to be English teacher.
2. The Students‟ Motivation to be English Teacher
The result of the ideal mean and the ideal SD of students‟ motivation was
in the table below:

Maximum
Score
Mean Ideal
Mean
(M)
SD Ideal SD

N
13 52 39.5 32.5 4.67 10.83 13
Minimum score could be determined by multiplying N and the lowest score
possibly, while the maximum score could be determined by multiplying N and the
highest score possibly. The research used modification Likert scale by the rank 1-
4, the lowest score possibly was 1 and the highest score possibly was 4, therefore
it was gained the minimum score was 13 and the maximum score was 52.
Ideal mean could be determined by multiplying a half of maximum score
plus the minimum score, the result score of ideal mean was 32.5, while the ideal
standard deviation could be determined by multiplying one-sixth of maximum
score plus minimum score, the result score of standard deviation was 10.83.
After knowing the ideal mean and ideal standar deviation the
categorization level of students‟ interest was calculated. The formula of
categorization could be calculated from the Ideal Mean (M) and Ideal Standard
Deviation (SD), the calculation was in the table below :
Scale Scale Number Category
1.5 M+ 1.5 (SD) - Maximum score Very High
0.5 M+0.5 (SD) - < M + 1.5 (SD) High
-0.5 M-0.5 (SD) - < M + 0.5 (SD) Fair
-1.5 M-1.5 (SD) - < M-0.5 (SD) Low
-1.5 Minimum score- < M-1.5 (SD) Very Low
After the calculation of ideal mean and ideal standard deviation, the
categorization as follow :
Table 7 Categorization Level of Students’ Motivation
Interval Category
48.75 – 52 Very High
37.96 – < 48.75 High
27.09 – < 37.96 Fair
16.23 – < 27.09 Poor
13 – < 16.23 Very Poor
Based on the calculation the mean score of PBI UAD students‟ motivation
to be English teacher was 39.5 which meant the category of students‟ motivation
to be English teacher was in the high category. The specification of the motivation
of each grade was 2011 students were in the high category, because the mean
score was 41.9. The 2010 students was also in the high category with the mean
score 39.1, then the 2009 students had the mean score 39.3 and they were also in
the high category. The 2008 students had the mean score 39 and they were in the
high category. The highest score came from 2011 students with the mean score
41.2 and the summary of the specification was in table below :
Table 8 Specification Level of Students Motivation
Grade Mean Score Level
2011 41.2 High
2010 39.1 High
2009 39.3 High
2008 39 High
To know the motivation of the students, the researcher used three indicators;
individual effort during the learning process, the intensity of learning process, and
the individual competency during the learning process. To know the contribution
of each indicator, the researcher used mean score of each indicator and it was
converted to the percentage. The percentage could be calculated from the total
mean score of each indicators divided the total mean of interest which was 39.5
and it is multiplied with 100 %, the formula can be seen as follow :
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠 x 100 %
Individual effort had the highest mean score which was 3.06, intensity of
learning had the mean score 3.03, and individual competency during the learning
process had the mean score 2.96. The analysis result of each indicator can be seen
from the picture below :
Chart 3 : The Distribution of The Indicators of Student‟s Motivation
Based on the picture above, students‟ effort had the highest score in
constructing students‟ motivation. There were some indicators that describe effort
and it was drawn in 9 item questions, they were effort in physically performance,
effort in competency, effort during the learning process. Based on the analysis
result it showed that effort in competency was in the first rank in constructing
effort. Most of the students agreed that improving their skill, especially in
speaking, was the best effort to be a good English teacher. The second rank was
effort during learning process, they believed that study hard during the learning
process in classroom will lead them to be a good English teacher. The analysis
result also showed that only few students agreed that physically performance such
as wear the clothes like a teacher could be the effort to be English teacher.
The analysis results showed that most of the students thought that the
learning process in the classroom with the lecturer gave much contribution in
transforming the knowledge to be a good English teacher. Most of the students
also satisfied with their competency during the learning process. Based on the
explanation above, it can be concluded that students‟ motivation emphasized the
Effort69.7%
Intensity of Learning15.33%
Competency15.03%
students‟ effort, intensity of the learning process, and the individual feeling during
the competency.
The students‟ interest and motivation had been analyzed, based on the
result there are relationship between interest and motivation, the students who
have high score in interest they also have high score in motivation. Generally PBI
UAD students were in the high category of interest, it balanced with their
motivation which was also in the high category. The detail result can be seen from
the table as follow :
Table 9 The Comparison Between Interest and Motivation
Grade Interest Motivation
2011 52.5 41.2
2010 49.1 39.1
2009 49.3 39.3
2008 48.3 39
The 2011 students had the highest score in interest and they also had the
highest score in motivation. Based on the theory that comes from Brown (2008 :
188) intrinsic motivation can fill the personal interest, when the students have the
high interest toward an object it can arouse and lead them to know more and to
implement the object, the arousal is motivation. After they have high interest they
will have high motivation in order to fill their interest.
3. Social Factors Leading to Students Interest and Motivation
There are four social factors leading to their interest and motivation which
are social environment, family, gender, and socio-economic backgrounds. To
know the contribution of each factor leading to the students interest and
motivation, the researcher used percentage formula which are the total mean score
of each indicator divided total mean score of all indicators multiplied 100%. The
mean score of social factors leading to students‟ interest and motivation was 17.4.
The mean score of social environment was 2.40 it meant the percentage of
social environment was 27.49%, the mean score of family was 2.36 with the
percentage 27.07%, gender had the mean score 3.03 with the percentage 17.34%,
and the last socio-economic had the mean score 2.45 with the percentage 28.08%.
From the calculation, it showed that the highest mean score was gender, yet
gender had the lowest contribution 17.34%, it was because gender indicator only
has one item, on the other hand family, social environment and socioeconomic
have two item questions therefore the mean score of gender higher than other.
To calculate the contribution the researcher used total mean score the
calculation showed that total mean score of social environment was 4.803, total
mean score of family was 4.73, total mean score of gender was 3.03 and total
mean of socioeconomic was 4.9. The summary of analysis result can be seen in
the picture below :
Chart 3 : The Distribution of Social Factors
Based on the picture, it was found that social environment contributed
27.49%, family backgrounds contributed 27.07%, gender backgrounds
contributed 17.34%, and socio-economic 28.08%. Socio-economic background
gave much influence toward the students‟ interest and motivation to be English
teacher. There were two elements in constructing the question, first the perception
about socio-economic from the students itself and the perception from the society.
Most of the students believed that English teacher profession will make them
having enough salary by the percentage 49.3% ; yet the society perception
contributed more than students perception by the percentages 50.66%. The society
perceives that English teacher profession will make people have a change in
economic conditions.
The second position in influencing students‟ interest and motivation to be
English teacher was social environment. There were two elements in social
environment, namely society and friends. The analysis result showed that most of
the students were more influenced by the society than friends in building the
Social environment
27.49%
Family27.07%
Gender17,34%
Socio-economic
28,08%
interest and motivation; it was proved by the mean score of society influence was
54.2% and the percentage of friends influence was 45.8%.
Most of the students come from the society in which teacher becoming one
of the popular professions; therefore they had the good perception toward teacher
profession. The society perception will be the information for the students about
English teacher profession. Based on the theory of interest, the interest starts from
the information and perception, the good perception and information will make
the students have much tendency toward English teacher profession. Another
social environment is friends of the students; based on the analysis result friend‟s
influence did not give much influence toward the students in arising students‟
interest and motivation.
Family backgrounds influenced 27.07% toward the arising of students‟
interest and motivation. Most of the students had the high interest and motivation
to be English teacher, because most of their families are teachers. It was proved
by the percentage from the question about the family background had the
percentage 52.1%, yet another family background which are not teacher-
background contributed 47.8%. The family can be their parents, uncle, aunty, or
another family member. The last indicator was gender background, almost all of
the students agreed that English teacher profession is suitable for male and female.
Based on the explanation above it was conclude that society and family
have the high contribution in constructing students‟ interest and motivation. The
society had a good perception toward English teacher profession both in the
prospect and economic, therefore it constructed students‟ interest and motivation.
Family backgrounds also contributes students‟ interest and motivation, family
with majorities profession is teacher, will give the paradigm about English teacher
profession in which will influence the students in constructing students interest
and motivation to be English teacher.

students.
1. For the Students
The result of this research can be the reflection for the students to know
the important of interest and motivation during their learning process. By having
very high motivation the students will have the best effort to achieve the best
achievement during the learning process, therefore the students will have success
in becoming professional and qualified English teacher. The students should have
the effort to increase their interest and motivation from the high category into very
high category.
The students also should increase their intensity of learning not only in the
classroom but also outside the class in order to have many experiences in teaching
English. By having many experience the students will get more information about
English teacher profession and it is expected can arise the students‟ interest to be
English teacher, besides having many experiences will be an effort for the

efforts to increase the students‟ interest and motivation. The efforts can be the
information of English teacher profession and the class activity which increases
the students‟ interest and motivation, therefore the students will have very high
interest and motivation to be English teacher.
3. For Other Researcher
The analysis result can be one of the references for the suitable research. It
also can be the first step to do the further analysis about PBI students, in order to
improving students‟ competency to be English teacher. The other researcher can
analyze more about the internal and external factor influencing students interest‟
and motivation. It can be conducted not only from the questionnaire but also from
the observation, interviewing, experiment, and also class action research for the
PBI students.
