This thesis discusses about the students perception towards blended learning
method on reading at the eleventh grade of SMAN 2 Bone academic year 2021/2022.
The study aimed to find out the students’ perception towards blended learning
method on reading at the eleventh grade in SMAN 2 Bone. This research includes
qualitative research with descriptive qualitative. Sampling in this study using the
purposive sampling technique, where the sampling technique were take one teacher
and 5 students. The data was collected by interview and observation. The result of
this research showed that most of students’ perception towards blended learning
method was hard to be applied on reading to apply on reading especially in that
school. Because, the bad network connection, the students did not feel comfortable
with that method and the material became more difficult to be understood. But, some
of the students felt that this method was actually good. Because, it make the students
have flexible time in studying.
A. Conclusion
Based on the result of the analysis and discussion in the previous chapter,
the researcher concludes, as follows:
1. The students preferred offline to online or blended learning. Actually, they
enjoyed the learning process with the blended learning. Because, they could
gain more information and knowledge easily. But, they still felt more
comfortable in offline learning. In offline, they could interact directly with the
teacher without being obstructed by bad network connection.
2. The blended learning method was not effective to apply in the school. Because,
the one of the factors that make this method less effective to apply to the school
was an unstable network connection. In fact that, there were some areas where
students live were very difficult to access the good network. Although, some
students felt that this method actually was good to apply. Because, it was easier
to obtain information and knowledge, as long as they had an access to the
internet. Also, they could study from home, whenever and wherever they were.
So they had flexible time to study.
3. In learning process, students still kept trying to understand the material being
taught even though it was a little difficult for them to understand. There were
ways that they did things like asking their teacher directly what they did not
know, searched on Google or opened YouTube for more information, repeating
and reviewing the voice note and the videos sent by the teacher.
B. Suggestion
Based on the conclusions above, the researcher would like to give
suggestions to readers and especially for teachers, students, and researcher:
1. For teacher, it is possible to add teacher perceptions on the use of blended
learning method for the student. In this method, it is better just giving a little
material on reading for students. Because the important thing is as long as they
can understand it well. Also, the teacher should prepare a simple learning
material in order the students can understand it easily.
2. For the students, in learning English especially on reading, the students must
more pay attention in learning process whereas it takes online, offline or even
blended learning. And also use the online application appropriately.
3. For the next researcher, the researcher hopes that the next researcher can
prepare everything as good as possible in conducting the research and can do
the follow up of this research. However, it is hoped that the next researcher can
take advantage of the blended learning in the teaching and learning process
well.
The researcher expects that the network connection in some areas in that
school will be getting better. Then, the researcher also expects that this
research can give advantages and source of knowledge as information
especially for English education. Besides that, this thesis is far from being
perfect, because of that; constructive critics and advice are really expected to
support this thesis in the future.
