Stimulated Recall Method in Uncovering Teacher Interactive Decision Making

Risna Saswati

Sari

SR is conducted immediately right after the tasks take place. If it is more delayed, there is a greater chance that the participants fail to retrieve the information. However, it can be avoided by using the strong stimulus. As Gass and Mackay state that the use of video recorder when collecting the data and the use of video and video transcription as aids to recall yield the useful data. SR in this case can gain the information needed for the research. This study reveals that the use of video, video transcription and lesson planning can be beneficial to recall what teachers decide in interactive teaching. The recall is conducted a week after the tasks are completed. Teachers ask for replaying the episode to assist them retrieving the information. SR is applicable to recall the information of teacher interactive decision making. It reveals, as well, that decisions made by teachers are influenced by their cognition. They do what they know and believe. SR is able to retrieve that information. As Nunan (1992) notes that SR is a technique that the researcher records and transcribes the task teachers do and then teachers can give comment or opinion about the teaching and learning process. He adds that it is difficult to use other means. SR is useful technique to uncover teacher thoughts. The structure of the SR is well prepared and it is consistent with the research questions.  Therefore, it is beneficial to recall teachers’ thought processes of teacher interactive decision making. It fulfills the research needs.
