CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background
Learning English as a foreign language has an important role in
education, as is the case in many non-English speaking countries. Indonesia is
one of the countries that do not speak English and English is a compulsory
subject at the University of Indonesia. Not only English majors, but non-
English majors must also take English courses as one of the prerequisites for
obtaining a degree. Students also face several obstacles in learning English,
namely the limited teaching and learning of the language in the classroom
(DíAz-Vera, 2012). English is a time-consuming course, so may not have
enough time to accommodate classroom activities. In addition, non-English
students are also generally not interested in learning English.
The English learning system needs media that can improve English
education and provide fun language learning. In this case, smartphones can
provide services that support language learners in an easy, flexible, and fun
atmosphere. (Byrne & Diem, 2014) One of the popular positive attributes of
smartphones is their ability to facilitate language learning through mobile
application and websites. (Mindog, 2016) Many researchers agree that
different types of applications and different teaching and learning techniques
can be used to achieve better quality education.
In addition to "transmitting" knowledge from the teacher to the
student, the role of the EFL teacher in the classroom is also to manage the
conditions under which the student can learn effectively in some way. Keep in
mind that the role of EFL teachers in teaching a foreign language is important
not only for normal reasons but also for the changing world of culture and
science. We know that the demand for English is the urge to think about
people. It is growing rapidly as an interactive communication that has
revolutionized humans daily, such as radios, video players, and stand-alone
software packages, and as an important aspect of adaptation to the global
world. As Munandar points out, "People with bilingual languages have the
educational advantage of recognizing two language methods, habits, and
thinking patterns."(Utami Munandar, 2009) Also, The reason English
becomes the first foreign language taught in Indonesia is that science and
technology have become a world culture, which is suitable for both
developments in Indonesia. Looking back on other cultures also has a positive
effect on the sensitivity to keep up with the times. (S Dardjowidjojo, n.d.) For
the above reasons, we can see that English is necessary for various fields such
as education. And this condition shows that learning English as an
international language is a necessity for today's convention.
To participate in digital-based learning, adapting to the development
of Information and Technology, thereby encouraging the creation of
innovative, effective, and efficient use of learning media. A digital-based
learning media is needed so that it can be used to improve student learning
outcomes. (Irwan, Luthfi, & Waldi, 2019). This learning media is a context
that causes interaction with each other between players by following existing
and predetermined rules in achieving a goal. (Arief S Sadiman, 2010) Many
learning media have been presented, which can be applied by teachers, one of
which is game-based learning media in online quiz applications.
The online quiz application is an educational game application that is
narrative and flexible, besides being used as a means of adding material, the
online quiz application can also be used as an interesting and fun learning
evaluation medium. Indonesia has a golden generation that is being swayed by
the swift current of the pandemic transition. The younger generation who are
currently in high school need a flexible learning process and of course, equip
them with a concrete understanding of the material presented by the teacher.
The birth of technology, which is one part of learning media, is to provide
convenience, then produce learning media in the form of online quiz
applications whose existence is increasingly being predicted as a learning
medium right in the middle of a pandemic.
Various studies related to the use of online quiz applications, showing
the benefits obtained, illustrate that this can improve the competence and
skills of each student. The use of online application learning media is one of
the efforts to accommodate the problems of learning media in Indonesia
which cannot be applied conventionally with other Information Technology
and Computer-based learning. In fact, technology-based educational learning
models can be strategically positioned from a narrative perspective. (Aainii,
2019) To produce a formulation of problem-solving efforts through the
application of an online quiz application in the EFL classroom, especially for
students of SMA Negeri 14 Bone. High school students who are growing
emotionally, can sometimes slow down the process of brain performance
when teaching and learning activities are taking place. To create a more lively
learning atmosphere, the application of the online quiz application in the EFL
classroom can be done in such a way, without losing the essence of the
material that has been delivered by the teacher. Quiz games can help
encourage student motivation and improve learning outcomes.
The researcher found problems experienced by students. The problem
is, especially since the pandemic, students' motivation and interest in learning
have decreased because learning assignments are only given by the teacher so
the learning process becomes monotonous. So the researcher wants to do a
learning method by applying an online quiz application in EFL classroom. So
that students' interest in learning increases and the learning process is more
varied and students are not too bored. In addition, the researcher wants to
know what are the problems in the online quiz application and how students
respond to online quiz application. Because currently technology has
developed, the researcher hopes that this online quiz application can increase
students' learning motivation in learning and can be a special attraction for
students. This online quiz application, it is also expected to make it easier for
students to understand a learning material.
Based on the above statement and with technological advances in the
field of education, researcher are interested in researching the application of
online quiz applications in EFL classroom at eleventh grade of SMA Negeri
14 Bone.

RESEARCH METHOD
D. Research Instrument
The researcher uses two Instruments, they are as follows:
1. Observation
Cartwright has defined observation as a systematic process of
monitoring, observing, recording, and paying attention to an activity
with a specific objective. Observation is the activity of finding data
that can be used to conclude or diagnose something (Cartwright, Carol
A, 1984).
The type of observation that will be used in this search is a list
of observations. This was used to answer the first research question,
namely “what are the problems with implementing online quiz
application in EFL classroom?”
2. Interview
Based on Esterberg’s definition in Sugiyono’s book. “an
interview is an encounter between two people to exchange data and
ideas through question and answer, leading to communication and the
construction of shared meaning on a particular topic. If the researcher
will make the first observation, the interview is used as the data
collection technique. An interview is a self-assessment and is based on
personal beliefs (Sugiyono, 2014)
According to Esterberg, there are three types of Interviews as
follows: (Esterberg, 2002)
a.) Unstructured Interview: In this type of interview, the interviewer
conducts the interview without a systematic plan of questions.
b.) Structured Interview: The interviewer conducts the interview using
a series of prepared questions.
c.) Semi-Structured Interview: The interviewer uses a set of questions,
designed to gather specific information.

B. DISCUSSION
1. The problem in implementing of online quiz application in EFL classroom.
After analyzing all the research data, it is necessary to revisit the
research results. The aim is to find out the answers from the research. The
first research question is "what are the problems when implementing an
online quiz application?". This can be explained from the results of the
application of an online quiz application which is done by giving quiz
questions to students to be answered using an online quiz application. In the
application of this online quiz application, researchers analyzed student
activities when answering questions in the application. This is done by
following the list of observations that have been made by the researcher.
At the first meeting in the application of the online quiz application,
the researcher will do the introduction process first which takes 5 minutes.
After that, the researcher explained the material to be studied first. Then the
researcher gave sample questions to students and was asked to make
questions according to the examples that had been given with a time of 40
minutes and still not done well because there were still some students who
had not finished their assignments while the time was up, so students were
asked to stop writing but there also those who are still writing after the
teacher counts to three, some students are asked to answer their assignments
on the blackboard.
At the next meeting, students were again asked to answer questions
and write them on the blackboard like in the previous meeting. Four students
could not answer the task, then the researcher answered the question until the
student understood. After there were no more questions, the researcher
wanted to try to apply the use of an online quiz application then students
were asked to prepare their smartphones to open the online quiz application
and enter the code. Some students are having network problems so it is a
little difficult to login into this online quiz application. After that, the
students answered the quiz questions as many as five questions, with each
question having a time limit of 30 seconds to answer. Some students are also
still confused by the answer and are also in a hurry to answer the question.
At the last meeting, the researcher asked students to prepare their
smartphones to answer online quizzes again to find out the progress of
students when implementing this online quiz application. after that students
enter the code so they can enter the application to answer the quiz the
application. At this meeting, the researchers made 10 questions to be used as
quiz questions with 30 seconds in each question. At this meeting, the
students answered the quiz seriously and thoroughly, unlike in the previous
meeting some students answered in a hurry so some of the answers were not
quite right.
Based on the analysis above, it can be said that there are several
problems when implementing the online quiz application. At the first
meeting, some students still had difficulty answering the assignments that
had been given. Then at the next meeting, students were constrained by the
network and had difficulty logging in to the online quiz application, not
being thorough and also in a hurry to answer questions. but some of them
don't have any problems. Then, at the last meeting, the problems experienced
by students were reduced, students also answered quizzes carefully, and
were not in a hurry. Students' answers have also increased compared to the
previous meeting.
In this chapter, the researcher has made conclusions and suggestions, which
are related to the previous four chapters. Researcher makes conclusions and
suggestions to make more understanding of the researcher.
A. CONCLUSION
Based on the discussion, the researcher concludes the results of student
observations and interviews that have been carried out in the application of
the online quiz application in the EFL class based on student activities and
student responses to this application.
1. Based on data from students’ observations. The researcher can conclude
that in the application of online quiz application, initially students still had
difficulties with the material and questions given, some students still did
not understand the answers, but the problem could be resolved after the
material was explained again. Then at the next meeting, students had
problems when they wanted to log in to the application because they were
constrained by the internet network on their smartphone. However, this
problem can be solved when students look for a place that can be reached
by the internet. then at the end of the meeting, the problems experienced
by students can be resolved little by little, and students also prefer to take
quizzes using applications.
2. Based on interview data. Researchers can conclude student responses
about the application of online quiz applications in the EFL class. Students
said that the application of this online quiz application was very good. All
students liked it because some students said that using this online quiz
application could add insight such as understanding vocabulary that they
did not understand before. Students also said that online quiz application
was easier than doing quizzes using paper and pen.
B. SUGGESTION
Based on the conclusions above, the researcher would like to give
suggestions to the readers and especially to teachers, students, and researcher:
1. For teachers
The need for English teachers is advised to apply online quiz
applications in the teaching process, especially in teaching when giving
assignments because it can make it easier for students to do quizzes
quickly.
2. For students
Students need to be active in the classroom and not consider the
teacher as their only source of learning. Students must also make
smartphones a tool for learning.
3. For researchers
Researchers suggest further research to conduct research in examining
what are the problems encountered in the application of online quiz
application in EFL classroom.
