I want to tell you the results of a poll conducted by Retjobuntung FM (then called by RB). This poll was conducted during the Sapa Pemiarsa on Friday, December 12th 2008, exactly by the announcer, Noorma Kahila. Sapa Pemiarsa is one of the programs in the radio, every day from 06 a.m. until 9 a.m. If the announcer is Noorma Kahila, she always holds polls as the poll in December 12th.
The respondents of this poll are the listeners of the radio, who are between 15-30 years old. The method used in this poll is by Short Message Service (SMS). The respondents give their opinions by sending an SMS to the cellular number which has been provided by the radio. In the beginning of the broadcast, the announcer gives questions or topics will be discussed at that time. Then the respondents were given a chance to convey their opinions by sending an SMS. The time used for the respondents to submit their opinion is about 120 minutes.
The question of the poll held in December 12th is “What subjects do you like most? Why?”
The result of the poll shows us that most of the respondents do not like mathematics. There is only a few respondents who loves math. The other respondents prefer lessons on the art and language. However, in my analysis, the most important thing that we get from this poll is that most of the respondents liked certain subjects because they love the teacher first.
According to my opinion, the teacher has an important role in the learning processes in the school, especially in Math. The teachers have a much role in motivate the students to learn. Almost of the respondents said that they don’t like Math because of the math teacher. They said that the teacher is a killer teacher, not interesting and always gives much burden tasks to the students. They said that the tasks given by the teachers often need much time.
From the illustration above, we can conclude that students like or not like a lesson is affected by the teachers. Teachers have a role to the Mathematics successful learning
The weakness of this poll is it does not show the detailed quantitative data because the opinion of the respondents is only read by the announcer.
