ABSTRACT

This research investigated the perspectives of students on the implementation of group work in English learning process associated with five basic principles that facilitate group work, a theory by Johnson and Johnson (2009). The qualitative method was used to construct this research through the interview as the main technique and documentation to support the research data. This research was conducted in SMK Negeri 1 Marisa at the second-grade students. As a result, researcher found that (1). All participants showed a positive response associated with positive interdependence, in a sense of responsibility was emphasized. (2). The second basic principle that must exist is simultaneous interaction, which is related to the interactions of students, and the quality of their interactions. Related to this, there was a negative response from students on how the students were divided into groups. (3). Students gave quite positive responses related to the third basic principle, individual accountability, which is about the contribution of each student in the group. (4). The majority of students know how to act in groups, giving skills to students must be done and trained to be applied consistently. (5). Teachers need to consistently provide instructions, monitor the learning process, and evaluate it at the end of class. Investigating student perspectives regarding a strategy or a method implemented by the teacher in the teaching and learning process is something that needs to be done. By not ignoring students' opinions or perspectives, the teaching and learning process will take place more optimally.
