CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter covers background, problem statements, objectives of the research, and
A. Background
During the COVID-19 pandemic, things began to subside, many things have started to
return to normal, Likewise with the education system in lectures. However, some universities
still carry out integrated learning by implementing online learning and face-to-face learning.
Its flexibility allows teachers and students to have choices about how and where they can
spend their time to study (Greenhow, 2009). In some ways, it is important to note that
blended learning such as distance learning also produces uncertain outcomes for students.
This is done to prevent the spread of the virus and ensure whether this learning system is
effective for students, especially students of English education where they have to develop
their English. As we know, students majoring in English need a highly integrated or effective
However, although the current learning system is carried out in a combined manner, the
problem is that there are still some students who complain about online learning and some
complain about face-to-face learning. Online learning or web base learning is part of E-
learning (Simanihuruk, 2019). The main characteristic is the use of digital media such as
computers and other devices in learning. From this, it can be seen that online or distance
learning requires media so that the online learning process can run. After the pandemic
subsides, students return to face-to-face learning and it can be a turmoil in their learning,
where they used to take online learning and then switch to face-to-face learning systems.
Students who have good learning independence can get good learning outcomes as well
(Brandt, 1996). The problem is that not all students are the same, we know the balance of
perceptions between different students, what learning system they like. This is because there
are students who prefer online learning and vice versa. Students assume that one of these
learning systems, if implemented, will develop the effectiveness of developing their English
skills. One solution is with student perceptions, with student perceptions it is very necessary
because it can provide an overview of the learning system they like. By conducting this
attract students to develop special skills in their majors, English education students. With this,
universities, especially in the faculty environment, can find out what students want in
learning and therefore the learning process can be achieved, students can absorb learning
In this study, the effectiveness of English language education students’ language skills
will be explained in writing regarding two learning processes, namely online learning and
face-to-face learning from the opinions of English education students. The shift from face-to-
face teaching to virtual classrooms creates new challenges and effects. In addition, online
learning environments can offer learners opportunities for flexibility, interaction, and
Advances in information technology in the twenty-first century have greatly changed our
education system. Internet use in teaching and learning has become more common in higher
education (Hogg, 2012), (Halawi, 2012), (Bhagat, 2016), (Meng-Jung, 2009), (Steel, 2011).
The reality is that online learning is a new mode of instructional delivery that is now
available to students. About online learning, online learning has actually been used for a long
time. In Learning The growth of online education has been driven primarily by state-led
online programs (such as the Florida Virtual School, Michigan Virtual School, Idaho Digital
Learning Academy, and Virtual Virginia) and full-time online schools (such as charter and
contract schools affiliated with K12 Inc., Connections Academy, and Insight Schools) which
was started specifically to provide online learning opportunities remotely (John Watson).
With this, in general, the two learning processes can be compared to online learning and face-
to-face learning. There are reasons why learning systems are the best. In addition, Bhat also
classifies five reasons why online learning is better than face-to-face learning; demand for
digital content, less time commitment, tracking of learning patterns, high retention rates and
social learning collaboration (Bhat, 2020). Students’ learning experiences and responses to
distance learning are very much needed to be known and investigated. But face-to-face
learning is also very important for English education students where they are majoring in
foreign languages and their education. A foreign language or English will be more easily
mastered if the learning is practiced, one of which is the ability to speak English. According
suggestions and people need to practice them. And education where students are taught about
the rules of educating or teaching which also requires direct explanation from the lecturer
(Chastain, 1998).
According to Ally , online learning uses the internet to access material, interact with
content, teachers, and other students, get support while learning, gain knowledge, and build
meaning and personal progress through learning experiences (Ally, 2008). Online learning as
a learning system mediated by the internet network without face-to-face meetings between
teachers and students (Mirawati, 2020). Then, online learning utilizes an internet connection
and a learning platform during the teaching and learning process (Fitriani, 2020). In other
words, the two learning systems have their respective advantages and disadvantages,
which system makes them more comfortable and of course increases the expertise of their
passive learning, ignoring individual differences and learner needs, and not paying attention
to problem solving, critical thinking, or other higher-order issues, sequential thinking skills
(Banathy, 1994). New advances in internet-based technology have brought challenges and
instruction is a form of distance education delivered over the Internet. For many, this type of
exchange of information and expertise while providing opportunities for all types of learners
in remote or disadvantaged locations (Hill, 1997), (Webster, 1997). While online instruction
is gaining popularity, it is not free from criticism. Many educators and trainers do not support
online teaching because they do not believe it really solves difficult teaching and learning
problems while others are concerned about the many barriers that stand in the way of
effective online teaching and learning (Conlon, 1997). These concerns include the changing
environments, and limited understanding of how much students and instructors need to know
In addition, there are several previous studies which state that learning readiness affects
learning outcomes (Jayadiningrat, 2017)). Another study states that learning readiness can
increase students’ optimism in facing exams (Rizki, 2013). In terms of online learning
readiness, there is one study which states that not all students are ready to take online
learning (Mardhiyana, 2018). Subsequent research was carried out by Kusmawan which
stated that students’ readiness for independent learning in the distance learning model was
included in the medium category (Kusmawan, 2016). Similar studies have also been carried
out by (Tereseviciene, 2020). The study explains that many universities experience problems
in implementing online learning. In terms of changing learning methods, of course, there are
students who experience perceptions about their feelings when this happens. Students who
are accustomed to face-to-face learning and who subsequently enroll in online platforms have
developed high levels of negative emotions, such as fear, anger, or helplessness (Butz,
Stupnisky, & Pekrun, 2015). Research by Muqtadiroh, Nisafani, & Silviana states that one of
the secondary schools in Jember district is ready to carry out online learning. However,
further research explains that students’ readiness for online learning needs to be improved. So
in this case research on the perception of a scope of education needs to be know (Muqtadiroh,
If we look at the responses from other countries, such as India regarding online learning,
there are some perceived difficulties in implementing process changes in the education
system that have emerged after the COVID-19 crisis; These difficulties are related to the new
perspectives of online education and its technological complexity. Prior to this pandemic,
However in the time of the impact of COVID-19, online teaching of learning is becoming a
major challenge to be faced, and stakeholders are not potentially fit to adapt to sudden
educational changes as they are not technologically competent to embrace the current
situation (Lokanath Mishra a, 2020). Meanwhile, in the country that was first affected by
Covid-19, namely China, Chinese schools nationwide moved their operations online (Huang,
2020) and therefore provided a rare opportunity to analyze and evaluate the phenomenon of
online learning in the primary school environment. And medium empirically on a large scale.
First, they seek to explore student learning patterns in online contexts as they tend to differ
from lessons from Chinese 3 that exist in traditional classrooms, and thus may lead to
interesting findings regarding sudden transitions from learning modalities. Second, they are
interested in understanding how students perceive their online learning experiences, because
such subjective perceptions directly affect students’ acceptance and participation in online
learning. Third, they are very interested in student engagement because lack of engagement is
a persistent challenge for online learners, leading to poor online learning outcomes and
retention (Buelow, 2018). In Malaysia, like many countries in the world, the Movement
Control Order (MCO) was enacted to flatten the curve of the spread of Covid. The Ministry
of Higher Education announced that all public and private universities in Malaysia are
carrying out online teaching and learning activities. The academic community is very tough,
adaptable and proactive in overcoming the challenges presented by MCO. Lessons, projects,
group work, presentations and assessments are all ready within two weeks and done with the
help of technology. Although it is undeniable that online learning is considered as the best
solution to ensure the continuity of learning in an era that has created a “new norm”, there
may be some setbacks such as the lack of human touch such as sensing students’
incomprehension through facial expressions. Expressions, making small jokes to brighten the
mood, engagement and interaction of students which can be done more effectively in
traditional face-to-face learning. The absence of social interaction and the inability to form
study groups that students used to enjoy are also some of the challenges they now have to
In practice, the online learning process and face-to-face learning are certainly two very
different learning processes, both in their implementation and the way students receive or
absorb learning. Difference between e-learning and face-to-face learning has also been
of learning (Nycz & Cohen, 2007). This is certainly a benchmark for the effectiveness of
students learning. Various responses and perceptions can be found through students regarding
the two learning processes, especially to students of English education where their
perceptions about the effectiveness of language skills on online learning systems and face-to-
face learning. Students, especially students of English education, have various responses to
the two learning systems, each student has complaints about the system and also has a
preference for the opposite learning system. This study will focus on students’ perceptions of
English education regarding the system or process of online learning and face-to-face
learning.
B. Problem Statements
After describing the description of the problem, and looking at the current state of the
learning system, namely the combined learning system which includes online classes and
face-to-face classes, especially English education study programs, it can be concluded that
of:
2. Between online learning and face-to-face learning. What learning system is effective for
By conducting this research, the researcher will summarize students’ perceptions into a
data conclusion that is in accordance with Alex’s opinion which states that perception is the
sensory data (Alex, 2003). From these conclusions, it can be seen which learning process
supports the effectiveness of English language skills of English education students during
combined learning, namely online learning and face-to-face learning. The perceptions that
will be obtained are based on their experiences during the two learning processes.
The researcher hopes that this research can provide more integrated information to
educators or lecturers regarding students response to the two learning processes that have
been carried out at the Makassar State University, especially in the Faculty of Language and
Literature, majoring in English Education. Regarding this significant research, there are two
1. Theoretical Significance
This study will provide additional knowledge regarding the perception of online
learning systems and face-to-face learning and their effectiveness on language skills
2. Practicals of Significance
a. For students
The results of this study can be used by students as a reference for their additional
research in the future and can also help students understand both the online learning process
b. For lecturers
With this research, it will help teachers or lecturers to more easily understand what
learning process students prefer from student perceptions to online learning systems and face-
to-face learning. And this can enable learning objectives to be easily achieved.
Provide additional further references for other researchers who will conduct research in
LITERATURE REVIEW
A. Pertinant Ideas
In this section, the researcher will explain the theory of perception, English language
1. Perception
a. Definition of Perception
Perception is the process used by individuals in managing and interpreting their sensory
opinion from Sugihartono suggests that perception is the ability of the brain to translate a
stimulus or process to translate a stimulus that enters the human senses. There are different
compare two objects and this can lead to the advantages and disadvantages of each object, the
case can be a comparison. From the two definitions above, it can be concluded that
perception is the process of presenting a discussion or object that relates to the human senses.
(Sugihartono, 2007)
In his book Organizational Behavior states that perception is influenced by three factors
1) Perceiver
An individual looks at a target and tries to interpret what he sees, then that interpretation
The characteristics in the object to be observed can affect what perceived by someone.
Novelty, sound, size, background proximity, and similarity of an object can be shape the way
we see things.
3) Situation
Changes or differences in time, place (work setting), and circumstances Social settings
c. Types of perception
Perception is divided into two, namely: perception of the object (physical environment)
and perception of human or social. These three types of perception have differences, namely:
1) Perception of objects through physical symbols, while to humans through verbal and
nonverbal symbols. Humans are more effective than most objects and more difficult to
predict.
3) Objects do not react, while humans react. In other words, objects are static, while humans
are dynamic. Therefore, the perception of humans can change from time to time, faster
and their reaction to those things based on their past experience and learning related to
2) Perception is selective. Every human being often gets sensory stimulation. Our attention
to a stimulus is the main factor that determines our selectivity for that stimulus.
3) Perception is conjectural. Occurs because the data we obtain about objects are never
4) Perception is evaluative. This means that most of us say that what we perceive is
something real, however, sometimes our senses and perceptions deceive us so that we
5) Perception is contextual. It means that of all the influences in our perception, context is
one of the most powerful influences. When we see a person, an object or an event, the
context of the stimulus greatly influences the cognitive structure, expectations and
1) Modality: the stimuli received must be in accordance with the modality of each sense,
namely the basic sensory properties of each sense (light for sight; smell for smell;
temperature for taste; sound for hearing; surface properties for touch and so on).
2) Dimensions of space: perception has the nature of space (dimensional space); we can say
top down, low height, narrow area, foreground background, and so on.
3) Time dimension: perception has a time dimension, such as fast and slow, young and old,
and so on.
4) Context structure, a unified whole: objects or phenomena in the world of observation have a
structure that is unified with their context. This structure and context form a unified whole
perceptions of the phenomena that have meaning for us, which have something to do with
us. (Saleh)
e. Perception aspects
1) Cognitive Component
Components that are composed on the basis of knowledge or information that a person
has about the object of his attitude. From this knowledge, a certain belief will be formed

because language is a bridge to socialize with various kinds of great people. To master
English, one must master several skills, especially for non-native speakers. This is because
English is unique, namely the letters and how to read them are different, especially for
Indonesians. So many differences both in terms of reading letters and word order. Therefore,
a. Skills in English
These four abilities to maximize English to get significant results (English, 2013).
1) Listening
something and increase our accuracy when speaking. The way to learn to listen effectively
is to listen actively, that is, to pay attention not only to the content of speech, but also how
it is clear.
2) Talking
Most people find it difficult to start a conversation in English because they are not used to
it. Therefore, it is important to frequently practice English in your daily life. Don’t be afraid
3) Reading
Although Indonesian people’s interest in reading is low, reading is an activity that can
support your language learning process faster because it makes your mind accustomed to
interpreting sentences, phrases, or other idioms. Also, by reading you will learn more about
4) Writing
Writing is a challenge for most Indonesian people. But with a little will and discipline,
anyone can get used to it. By writing, you will memorize the vocabulary that you have read
before. When writing, especially for formal writing, your grammar skills will be put to the
full test.
3. Online Learning
Online learning is a distance learning system that has been implemented for a long time.
Online learning is one form of distance learning or distance education that has long been a
part of the American education system, and has become the largest distance learning sector in
recent years (Bartley, 2004). Online learning relies on the internet so that teaching and the
participants being taught can be connected to each other and that is where the learning and

between teachers and students in learning. Google classroom supports teachers to see
which students have progressed and have not completed assignments and can
immediately provide real-time grades and feedback. Students can also easily access and

learning materials. This application can make it easier for teachers to spread even
complex material without having to face to face. Animated videos that have been made
3) Edmodo
the most popular learning applications in the world because of its easy use and supported
by the solution features offered for technological developments, especially in the world of
education.
4) Zoom
One of the most popular apps these days is Zoom. Zoom supports boldly supporting
distance learning by delivering subject matter that can be conveyed to students, so that
learning can be carried out in two directions and students can immediately provide
feedback on the material presented. One of the most useful features of Zoom is the screen
record feature, which can be used to record material presented on the screen. With this
feature, we don’t have to worry about missing material that can be accessed via saved
recorded videos.
5) Edpuzzle
Edpuzzle is a platform that can help you choose learning videos, help teachers, help
choose, vote, and can add a question to be used as a basis for quizzes. With edpuzzle,
learning activities by watching learning videos can encourage students to be more active.
By using edpuzzle to distribute learning materials, teachers can find out how long
students watch learning videos and statistics for watching videos given by the teacher.
(Nurcahyani, 2021).
Online learning is learning that can be done at home without even going to a learning
place and of course this is a benefit for the students or the teaching team. The advantages of
1) allows everyone to learn anything without being restricted space and time, because access
2) The operational costs of each student to participate in learning activities become more
affordable;
E-learning can make student learning activities more flexible, students can access
learning at any time and repeatedly. Smaldino said that the online learning model is able to
realize an effective learning function (S. E. Smaldino, 2008). Even according to Machmes
and Asher as quoted by Roblyer two-way interactive learning online is more effective than
traditional learning (A. H. Roblyer, 2013). In addition, students can also interact with the
teacher at any time, so when there are questions or feel unclear, students can directly ask the
teacher. This is very different from conventional learning, where the process of teaching and
learning activities must be carried out at the right time and place.
compared to conventional learning if the supporting infrastructure facilities are met to reach
a) Small rural schools can access or learn subjects not taught in their schools
b) For students who take home schoolers (family education programs) can take lessons that
c) E-learning can be accessed by students who have a phobia (phobia) of school, students
who are treated in hospital or at home, who drop out of school but are interested in
continuing their education, students who are outside the region or abroad.
d) Students who are not accommodated in conventional schools can take advantage of e-
From the point of view of an educator according to Wena the benefits of e-learning
knowledge.
c) Controlling student study habits, teachers can know when their students study.
e) Checking student answers and informing students of the results of the assessment.
a) There will be teaching materials that have been validated by experts according to their
fields so that every teacher can use them easily, effectively, and efficiently.
c) Can be a practical guideline for implementing learning according to the conditions and
characteristics of learning.
d) Cultivate an attitude of cooperation both between fellow teachers and between teachers
1) Lack of interaction between teachers and students as well as between students with one
another. This happens because in web-based learning, classes are conducted virtually so
2) Sometimes more focused on the technological aspect than the educational aspect. E-
learning products are the result of technological advances so that there are still many
users who have not paid attention to the educational aspects used in them. The learning
today’s technological advances, so that the learning carried out remains up to date.
4) Very much needed motivation and high independent learning ability from the learner
learn independently, so that the motivation of the learners is also very important in this
regard.
5) Not all students can take advantage of all internet facilities. This is because not all schools
have complete facilities that students can use to access the internet.
6) There are still limited availability of software. Not all software used to develop e-learning
7) There is still a lack of knowledge and ability to operate computers and the internet
properly. This is because there are differences in the ability and understanding of students
There are two types or methods of delivering online learning (Khan, 2006):
carried out or carried out at the same time. This allows direct interaction between teachers
and students via the internet. In short, This type of online learning is almost the same as
direct learning in the classroom, but the class is virtual and uses internet-connected media or
technology. Tool learning is used in real time, such as instant messaging applications or video
conferencing applications (Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, etc.) that allow students and teachers
to ask and answer questions immediately and synchronously (at the same time).
Asynchronous is the opposite of synchronous. That is “not at the same time”. So, between
lecturers and students do not have to access the online learning system at the same time.
Students can start studying, submit assignments, discuss, and complete class/lecture
administration at any time, although not at the same time as the creation or writing of
materials and assignments carried out by lecturers. An example of this asynchronous learning
method is the use of Learning Management Systems such as Google Classroom, Schoology,
4. Face-to-Face Learning
Face-to-face learning is a learning process that is carried out directly between teachers
and students. Face-to-face learning allows for direct or face-to-face interaction between
educators and students so that it can be said that students can more easily digest the material
given because teachers and students are directly involved in giving and receiving learning
knowledge.
1) LCD
Percentages run sequentially as a straight line so that can be called linear media and is
usually used when the number of audience is more than one person, for example it can be
2) Whiteboard
The blackboard is also a learning tool that can be categorized as a learning medium
because the blackboard is used to convey information and is used to convey subject matter.
The blackboard is probably the most common and frequently used medium in learning.
Teachers will feel that something is missing in the classroom if there is no whiteboard.
3) Laptop
Laptop as advanced technology have many benefits and uses, especially in the field of
education. Laptops have several inputs that can be used, including the use of a laptop as a
Hard skills and soft skills are two very important abilities for everyone, especially for
students. Hard skills are abilities that can be obtained from the process of training, repetition
and education. With face-to-face learning, students’ hard skills will of course be very well
honed. While soft skills are the ability of communication, personal characteristics and natural
intelligence that a person has. By attending classes directly, the soft skills of students can be
further developed because social interactions are increasing all the time.
Face-to-face learning of course makes learning more interactive because students interact
directly, thus making it easier for students to understand the material provided.
Interacting with people can be easier now even online. But it is not effective because after
all meetings are better face to face. With face-to-face learning, we can meet directly with
Making yourself more productive is one of the steps that can make yourself grow. Face-
to-face learning makes this possible, because you have to get up every morning to go to
where the learning process takes place, receive lessons directly, do assignments together,
1. The weakness of face-to-face learning is the learning process what happens is limited by
space and time so that learning is felt to be less than optimal by educators according to
(Sari, 2014).
3. The presence of students in face-to-face classroom learning is not the main concern of
higher education institutions, but the main concern is more on the relationship between
the presence of these students and the satisfaction of the students themselves in
2020) include:
1) The teacher conveys the objectives, background information of the lesson and prepare
4) The teacher checks on the success of students doing assignments well, providing
feedback.
B. Conceptual Framework
make their research more accurate. The research framework is very important in every field
of research (Lester, 2005). This study uses a conceptual framework where the conceptual
framework associated with research theory. The framework is a conceptual model of how
theory relates to what has been described and identified as an important issue (Hayati, 2019).
With the above statement, the researcher presents the conceptual framework as follows:
Perception
English Skills
With the conceptual framework above, it provides an overview of the flow of the
research, arranged based on the theory and problems in the research. In accordance with the
title of the study, the perception of students, especially students of English education study
programs, regarding their English skills during online learning and face-to-face learning. The
conceptual framework also indirectly describes the problems in the research, regarding the
comparison of the two research subjects of online learning and face-to-face learning which
contains its advantages and disadvantages both of them. This can be a reference for students’
RESEARCH METHOD
This chapter will present research design, data resources, population and subjects,
techniques of collecting data, data analysis, instrument of the research, and data validity.
A. Research Design
Good research is a researcher who presents the research process including the type of
research used, where the research results must be rational or reasonable or can be easily
reached by the human mind, empirical is a research method that can be understood by human
senses and systematic which is the research uses certain steps that are logical or
understandable.
In accordance with the title of the research, this research uses a type of research with
qualitative methods, where qualitative methods are methods that describe results
usually quoted in the literature: “Qualitative researchers study things in their natural setting,
trying to understand, or interpret, phenomena in terms of the meanings that people bring to
them”. While the type of research that will be used is case study research where the
researcher observes a group and presents it descriptively, from these observations it will be
B. Data Resources
This research will be conducted at Makassar State University, Faculty of Language and
Literature Jl. Mallengkeri Raya, Parang Tambung, Kec. Tamalate, Makassar City, South
Sulawesi 90224. In accordance with the title of the study, this research focuses on students
majoring in English education class 2020. The reason for choosing the place and research
participants is because Makassar State University students, namely the language and
literature faculty majoring in English education class 2020 in the corona virus outbreak began
to subside and campuses began to slowly implement offline learning methods. As we know,
the 2020 batch of students who have felt the impact of the corona virus outbreak since they
started enrolling as students of English education at the Makassar State University and
underwent online learning then returned to study with the offline learning system in 2022 at
this time, this of course can be a comparison of the effectiveness of their abilities. Their
English during their online learning and now has returned to offline.
This study will present the opinions of students majoring in English education class 2020
Makassar University. Therefore the researcher will collect data from each class consisting of
4 classes (A, B, C and D) at least 5 students from each class express their opinions.
To determine the subject in this study, the researchers decided to use a Purposive
Sampling Technique. Which is where the purposive sampling technique, also called
assessment sampling, is the intentional choice of a participant because of the qualities that the
theory or a number of participants. Simply put, the researcher decides what needs to be
known and sets out to find people who can and are willing to provide information based on
information-rich cases for the most appropriate utilization of available resources. By using
this technique, the researcher will determine the participants who will be examined according
to the research criteria so that the informants for this research can provide accurate research
results.
Data collection techniques in a study play a very important role because knowing
research techniques and of course collecting data and research will be able to be well directed
and provide good research results. Below are data collection techniques that will be carried
1. Interview
Interview is an interaction activity carried out by someone who wants information and
someone who provides information with the aim of getting information from a phenomenon
or research. In this study, researchers will conduct interviews with research subjects, which
can be two options according to the situation, namely face-to-face or online by telephone or
audio.
2. Documentation
electronic images or printed images. During the research, the researcher will collect evidence
of the research process by taking pictures during the offline learning process and online
learning.
E. Data Analysis
Miles suggests three stages that must be done in analyzing qualitative research data,
namely (1) data reduction, (2) data display, and (3) conclusion drawing/verifying (Miles,
1997).
1. Data Reduction
Sugiyono says that reducing data means summarizing, choosing the main things, focusing
on the important things, looking for themes and patterns (Sugiyono, 2014). The data that has
been reduced will make it easier for researchers to obtain clearer data information, and collect
it.
2. Data Display
Prastowo says that the presentation of the data here is a set of structured information that
provides the possibility of drawing conclusions and taking action (Prastowo, 2012). Analysis
of qualitative research data is carried out by organizing the data, breaking it down into units,
synthesizing it, compiling it into a pattern, choosing which ones are important and which
ones will be studied so that conclusions can be drawn to be conveyed to others (Patilima,
2005). In this study, the researcher analyzes the data interactively or continuously until the
data is saturated, data saturation can be indicated by the information obtained or there is no
study.
3. Conclusion Drawing/Verifying
Gunawan explains that the conclusions are presented in the form of descriptive research
objects based on research studies (Gunawan, 2013). The initial conclusions put forward are
still temporary, and will change if no strong evidence is found to support the next data
collection stage. So in this study the analyzer will collect data repeatedly to ensure there is no
change in the perception of the research subject (about online learning and face-to-face
learning). If the information obtained does not develop or their perceptions are still the same
since the beginning of data collection, that is the conclusion of the study.
The instrument of this research is in the form of interviews. The interview aims to obtain
information about the perceptions of English education students towards online learning
systems and face-to-face learning. Documentation is carried out as a form of evidence that
G. Data Validity
Examination of the validity of the data is basically, in addition to being used to refute the
element of the body of knowledge of qualitative research (Moleong, 2014). The validity of
the data in qualitative research includes tests credibility, transferability, and confirmability
(Sugiyono, 2006).
1. Credibility
The credibility test is carried out so that the research carried out is not doubtful. In
a. Increase accuracy, in research where this is done to check or control the processing of
data from various sources at various times (Wiersma, 1986). Thus there is triangulation of
c. Analysis of negative cases, namely by analyzing or checking if there are different data or
sources of information. If there are no more data that are different or conflicting with the
findings, meaning that they still get data that contradicts the data found, the researcher
d. Using reference materials, in research reports, it is better if the data presented needs to be
(Sugiyono, 2006).
e. Conduct Membercheck, The purpose of membercheck is to find out how far the data
obtained is in accordance with what is provided by the data provider. So the purpose of
membercheck is that the information obtained and will be used in writing reports is in
accordance with what is meant by the data source or informant (Sugiyono, 2006).
2. Transferability
degree of accuracy or applicability of the research results to the population where the
related to the purpose and function of the research. The validity of the data can be seen
from the results of the study which do not differ between the data obtained from the
research and the phenomena that actually occur in the object of research.
CHAPTER IV
This chapter will present Findings, which consist of the research process, subject
learning, students’ perception of face-to-face learning and better learning system for
English skills.
A. Findings
1. Research Process
Writing the results of this study is a description of each opinion of the subject
regarding online and face-to-face learning systems. The opinion is presented based on the
characteristics, the background that causes the subjects to choose a learning system that
In the research process, there are several obstacles, including: researchers have to wait
quite a long time to conduct research because to meet informants with the aim of direct
interviews, researchers wait for a face-to-face lecture schedule from July to 29 August to
be able to meet with informants, Then to meet informants from each class, you have to
arrange a rather complicated time, because the informant’s learning system mixes
between online classes and face-to-face classes so that researchers have to ask for
schedules from each class to find class schedules offline, and other obstacles, namely
Researchers cannot expect to be able to meet informants from each class who have made
an appointment with the researcher, because it is not uncommon for informants not to
come to campus because offline classes are canceled so researchers have to find another
day to meet.
The first interview was conducted with the subject of class C English Education class
2020 on Tuesday, August 30, 2022 at 11.40 noon in the DH 203 building. According to
the population of the subjects to be interviewed, there were 5 people from each class. I
had made an appointment with the head of class C in advance that I would go to their
class after their class ended. Persuading class C students to become informants in my
research was not that difficult, they were very happy to volunteer themselves for
interviews. Researchers also conducted interviews one by one to informants who were
willing and at the same time captured images during the interview process as research
documentation material.
The next interview, the researcher went to two classes at once to get informants,
because both classes A and B will carry out offline classes on Wednesday, August 31,
2022 in the same building, namely DH on the second floor. The researcher met class B
first at 12.30 in room 203, to get 5 informants in class B. The researcher had contacted
one of the class B students to tell their classmates about the research and the researcher’s
goals. There are obstacles, namely that many class B students are in a hurry to return
home, so the researcher has to find some students who are still in the campus environment
and are willing to conduct interviews. With the effort that was not in vain, the researcher
there was an error because the researcher went to the class that had been agreed upon, but
the researcher saw that there were no students in the room. Not long after, at 2:50 p.m. the
head of class A contacted the researcher to come to class DH 202 because the class had
changed places. To get 5 informants in class A can be said to be very easy because the
head of class A has already found participants so that when the researcher comes the
The research lasted for one week and after feeling all the data collected and
done to persuade students to be excited to participate and a form of gratitude for wanting
2. Subject Overviews

train students directly, and with face-to-face learning students have the opportunity to
B. Suggestion
1. For lecturers/teachers

2. For students
The researcher hopes that students can be more enthusiastic in learning, especially in
the fields pursued by English Language Education, which we know that the learning
students are expected to be able to prepare themselves to adapt to the type of education
system implemented.
Therefore, the researcher hopes that the next researcher can conduct more in-depth
