Abstract: Low language and communication skills on students with deaf have an impact on their lack of confidence
and lack of learning experience. The existence of peers in the learning environment is supposed to be a
means of developing self-confidence of deaf students. The objective of the research is to measure the data of
application of the use of peer teaching method in improving self-confidence of deaf students. This research
was conducted on students of class XI SMPLB-B with seven sample people. The study used a quantitative
experimental approach with the One-Group Pre-test Post-test design. The results showed an increase of
confidence by 19.04%. In the hypothesis test obtained J_count> J_table (28> 2) then the null hypothesis
(H0) rejected. This means that the method of peer teaching can increase students' confidence in the class XI
SMPLB-B. Through the peer teaching method, the self-esteem, optimistic, objective, responsible, rational,
and realistic beliefs that exist on the deaf students are increasing. Aspects of self-confidence on the deaf
students develop in learning situations involving the acceptance of peers. Peer participation that has higher
thinking ability and better communication, makes learning process more dynamic and deaf students can
understand learning materials more quickly. Giving reinforcement and reward by teachers will reconstruct
and reinforce a meaningful learning experience for deaf students. Teachers must understand and allow the
deaf students to use language they agree upon without having to fixate on one of the language systems they
do not understand. Teachers can also use all communication mediums i.e. speak, signal and write
simultaneously (total communication).
1 INTRODUCTION
School as a formal educational institution not only
serves as a place to develop cognitive abilities, but
also a place of personal development (Ormrod,
2009). Confidence is a personality that must be
owned by someone to achieve a goal in life. Failure
of students in achieving self-development is caused
because students are not aware of their potential and
cannot direct themselves. The lack of confidence in
the potential of the self often makes the student more
attractive, more suspicious, anxious, and less
appreciative of himself, and his potential is not
developed (Agustiningrum, 2013). On the other
hand, this condition is exacerbated by the treatment
of teachers who do not accommodate the diversity of
potential students. In practice the teacher assumes
that all students will gain the same learning
experience and can engage in teacher-created
learning situations. For students who have the
potential will easily access the learning situation to
be used as a learning experience capital.
Limitations of language skills and low
abstraction abilities of deaf students often hamper
the process of receiving information and causing
problems in learning. Difficulty communicating
potentially cause social emotional problems,
especially on the understanding of self-concept and
lack of confidence. Problems arising from the lack
of self-confidence owned deaf students and
environmental acceptance will complicate the
achievements of self-actualization (Cheng &
Furnham, 2002). The complexity of this problem
seems to be more evident when deaf students do not
get recognition from peers. On the other hand, the
results showed that peer attitudes toward student’s
disability have positive results. (Mukhopadhyay et
al., 2012). Peers have high sympathy with more
contact with students with disabilities (Gasser et al,
2013). This is certainly an opportunity for teachers
to condition the environment so that deaf students

can be accepted in the immediate environment and
in the wider environment (Gonçalves and Lemos,
2014).
Learning situations developed by teachers using
various approaches and learning methods that
suitable with potential students, providing
opportunities for all students to grow optimally.
Teacher's understanding of students' psychological
needs is important. The giving of motivation
becomes a force in improving the quality of learning
and creating creativity and confidence in students
(Ryan and Deci, 2000).
The study in this research is about students' self-
confidence in the learning situation in the classroom.
During this time learning activities on deaf students
is more directed to the development of intelligence
(cognitive) and language than the development of
social emotions (affection). Learning activities are
more focused on the teacher so that the students'
potentials are less excavated. Teachers are less able
to build active communication with students and
among the students themselves. While the
interaction of communication that occurs among
fellow deaf students running as usual and they feel
comfortable in the same situation and needs. Based
on these conditions it is assumed that the low self-
esteem of deaf students comes from difficulties in
communication and impacts on the limited learning
experience they should receive. There are several
methods of learning built on the principles of
collegialism and partnership among the students.
Learning method offered is Peer teaching method.
One of the advantages in learning peer teaching is
the increase of confidence in students (Colvin,
2007), so it is expected that peer teaching can be one
of the efforts to improve deaf students' confidence in
the class.
Boud et al. (2014) mentions that peer teaching is
teaching that involves students learning with each
other mutually beneficial and sharing knowledge,
ideas, and experiences among students. Peer
teaching is an approach in learning that prioritizes
the interaction between students to provide teaching
with each other so as to share knowledge, ideas, and
experiences between students and create cooperative
learning situations. Therefore, this research is
conducted to measure the data of application of the
use of peer teaching method in improving self-
confidence of deaf students.
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Self-Confidence of Deaf Students
Gufron and Risnawita (2010), "self-confidence is the
belief to do something in the subject as a personal
characteristic in which there is a belief in self-
abilities, optimistic, objective, rational, and
realistic". Meanwhile, according to Goel and
Aggarwal (2012) confidence is one of the
personality traits that is a composite of one's
thoughts and feelings, struggles and hopes, fears and
fantasies. From these opinions can be concluded that
self-confidence is a whole aspect of personality
between mind and feeling to struggle to do
something objectively realistic and responsible.
Self-confidence becomes very important and has
the potential to influence the success of student
achievement including the ability to communicate.
Al-Hebaish (2012) by using a general Self
Confidence Questionnaire (GSCQ) shows there is a
relationship between self-confidence and speaking
ability. High self-confidence encourages one to dare
to speak, otherwise low self confidence is shown by
lack of speaking in front of audience (Abdalah and
Ahmed, 2015). The result of this study indicate that
students’ success in doing oration in front of the
class is inseparable from the way and the ability to
think in the student in understanding the message or
idea to be conveyed and how to convey the idea or
message to be accepted by others (audience). If the
idea or message can be conveyed by the student will
get a positive response and the situation will have an
impact on their trust improvement.
Hearing impairment that faced by deaf students
affects the limited acquisition of language and their
communication. Ormrod (2009) describe that to
communicate required high thinking and high
abstraction ability. Moores (2000) illustrates the
difficulties of the deaf student in accessing
information are more broadly and the conditions
affected on their cognitive development. Rodda and
Grove (1987) notes that in marginalized conditions,
the deaf student tend to have low learning
achievement and increased behavior problems. They
have difficulties to socialize and have a
misconception of self-concept against themselves.
Self-concept refers to an evaluation that concerns
certain areas of the self (Santrock, 2007).
Furthermore, the self-concept of the whole view of
the individual to his physical dimensions of personal
characteristics includes his motivations for
weakness, or skill, failure and so on (Harsojo, 2013).
Understanding of the self-concept delivers students

231
to establish their trust. Actually, high self-esteem
refers to the existence of several aspects of the
individual’s life in which he feels he has the
competence of being convinced, capable and
believing that he can be supported by actual
experience, potential, achievement and realistic
expectations (Angelis, 2005).
On the other hand, deaf student has permanent
suits to be able to perform their roles as individuals
who must learn about rules, attitudes, and values of
value (Marschark and Hauser, 2012). When they can
perform their roles properly they will be awakening
from their confidence. As well as the family
environment, school, peers as social support in
developing trust in deaf student become important.
Social support can be regarded as something useful
for the acquired individual circumstances will know
that others pay attention to respect and loving it
(Rayle et al., 2007; Shahzad et al., 2012; Kusrini and
Prihartanti, 2014). Social support is the best thought
as a multidimensional construct made up of
functional and structural components referring to the
actions that other people do when they giving help
(Wentzel, 1994).
Effort to increase self confidence in a deaf
student begins from social interaction built by the
family environment. Family, schools, and
community member’s role in learning and introduce
rules, values and attitudes according to the norms in
which they live. Social interaction which wide
spreading and develop required social support and
close person proportionately and appropriately to
help the deaf student to understand and carry out its
social role. When the deaf students can fulfill those
his social demands, so it will give him a satisfaction
for himself and his self confidence is increasing.
2.2 Peer Teaching Methods
Peer teaching is a series of activities in which peers
teach each other in meaningful interactions. Peer
teaching enables students to be responsible for
reviewing, organizing, and consolidating existing
knowledge and materials, understanding basic
structure, implicating and re-formulating knowledge
into new conceptual framework (Dueck, 1993;
Ramaswamy et al., 2001). Most in peer-tutoring
activities involve older and more experienced peers,
or those with greater mastery in the subject area to
teach younger, inexperienced or unskilled peers and
subject matter content (Bradford-Watts, 2011). Peer
teaching involves students teaching in small group
settings, where students are guided one by one by
peers (Cherif, 1993).
If viewed from the description of meaning, the
process and the functioning of peer teaching, then
there are two major theories. There are Vigotsky’s
theory and Piaget theory. The theoretical base for
peer teaching encourages the synthesis of both
Piagetian and Vygotskian theories.
Vygotsky developed the Sociocultural Theory of
Learning based on the active involvement of peers,
adults, and teachers in the learning process.
Specifically, Vygotsky believed advanced or more
knowledgeable peers, teachers, or other adults
greatly aided the learner in the construction of
knowledge (Velez et al., 2011; Oloo et al., 2016).
Meanwhile, Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive
Development was largely based on the active
involvement of peers. As peers interact with each
other, they challenge the established norms,
effectively creating a state of learner disequilibrium
(Velez et al., 2011). Piaget believed that interaction
between individuals occurred on a continuum from
constraint to cooperation. When learners engage in
an activity with a person in whom they were
obligated to obey, the learner feels a sense of
constraint which can alter or discourage the learning
process (Burk, 1996). Both Vigotsky’s and Piaget’s
theory were emphasizing that student’s energetically
concept information and understanding somewhat
than being reflexive receptacles of information
(Alwi et al., 2016).
The peer teaching allows the deaf student to
develop their potential and appropriate
communication, language, and social emotions
appropriately. For the occurrence of effective
communication, need an agreement language,
thoughts, even ideas between rights. The
communication process requires good
comprehension (receptive and expressive ability).
The constraints faced by deaf students are related to
their receptive and expressive ability, can be reduced
or helped by peers those listened to become peer
teachers through the group activities (Marjanti,
2015). Emotionally, deaf students will feel
comfortable in a situation where others can
understand their needs. When learners communicate
with a truly equal peer, a feeling of cooperation
emerges, forming a foundation for significant,
retained learning. Peer-teaching provides an
atmosphere that promotes the improvement of
communication skills, encourages independent
learning, and helps to develop self-confidence,
because peer-teaching actively engages students in
the learning process, students gain a sense of
purpose with regard to the course (Lim, 2014).
Therefore, peer teaching activities not only help
ICES 2017 - 1st International Conference on Educational Sciences
232
students benefit the peers who become tutors
develop their own potentials. Thus teachers have the
opportunity to create situations learning becomes
more meaningful and makes all students actively
learn.
Miller et al. (1996) describe that a successful
implementation of peer teaching method involves
three major steps: getting ready, running the
program, and enrichment and extension activities.
The first step, getting ready to tutor, include
identifying the tutoring format to be used, selecting
tutor pairs, training partner, and arranging the
environment. Step 2, running the program. The
second step in effective implementation of tutoring
programs contains a sequence that can be used to
implement, maintain, and evaluate peer tutoring
across any of the format described earlier. Finally,
step 3 is enrichment and extension. Supplemental
practice provides enrichment and extension activities
related to tutoring content.
3 METODS
This research used experiment quantitative
approach. The experimental design used is One-
Group Pre-test Post-test. The target population is the
confidence of deaf students in class IX SMPLB
SLB-B X in learning activities. The sample studied
were deaf students IX SMPLB-B which amounted to
7 students. This research process uses three stages.
The first stage is the implementation of pre-test,
conducted through the provision of questionnaires
about confidence (self-belief, optimistic, objective,
responsible, rational, and realistic) and test subject’s
social science and civic education (cognitive,
affective, and psychomotor). The second stage, the
implementation of treatment in the form of
application of peer teaching method. Instrument
used is an observation sheet to reveal the self-
confidence of deaf student. The third stage, the
implementation of post test to determine effectivity
of peer teaching method. Student fill out a
questionnaire and given the achievement test. Data
analysis uses Wilxocon test. To test the hypothesis
used the level of significance (real) α = 0.05 or α =
0.01. Hypothesis testing is done by comparing the
absolute value of J selected with the price J at a
certain real level, then H_0 accepted or rejected. The
hypothesis proposed is the use of peer teaching
method can increase self-confidence of deaf students
in SLB X.
4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
4.1 Results
Based on charging confidence questionnaires as
many as 32 items of statements, observation sheets
of 16 items, and supporting evidence in the form of
10 items about the test results of learning. The
results of the study are described as follows:

score 28 (58.4%), DZ 27 (56.25%), CS 26 (54.17%),
HI 25 (52.08%), and AZ 21 (43.75%). Figure 1
depicts the confidence level of HA and SS at high
levels, while the achievement of the five deaf
students i.e. AA, DZ, CS, HI, and AZ are at a
moderate level. The data illustrates that the students'
self-confidence before being treated, is mostly at a
moderate level. From table 1 also illustrated that

there is a difference of score far enough that is 6
points from the highest score of 34 (high level) to
score 28 (medium level), while the score is in the
middle level, the difference is not too far.

the occurrence of a wide spread of levels (very high-
high-moderate). The data illustrate that confidence
achieved by deaf students after being treated, most
are at very high levels. From table 2 also illustrated
that there is a difference of score far enough that is 6
points from the highest score of 45 to score 39 even
though both are at the same level that is very high
level. Similarly, there is a margin difference that is a
bit away i.e. 5 points from a score of 36 (high level)
to score 31 (medium level).

Table 3 shows there is significant deaf self-
confidence before and after treatment, it is seen from
the score of each student at the time of pre-test and
post-test has increased. The increase can be
described that AA, DZ, HI, HA experienced the
same increase of 11 (22.917%), AZ increased by 10
(20.84%), while CS and SS increased by 5
(10,417%) meaning each sample in the study has
improved quite well. From Figure 3 it can be
illustrated that HA is consistently getting high scores
both at pre test and post test with an increase of 11
points, while CS gets the smallest score on pre test
and post test, with 5 points increase.

4.1.4 Average Pre-test Results and Post-test
The result of calculation about the average of
achievement value of pre test is 58,03%. Based on
predetermined criteria, then the average pre test is at
a moderate level. While the average post-test value
after being given treatment in the form of peer
teaching method reached 77.08% (high level), there
was an increase of 19.04%. From these data shows
that students' self-confidence is increasing even
though the increase is not too big. However, the
results achieved during pre-test at moderate level
and increased to high levels at the test post, this
showed that hearing students already have
confidence and there is a significant improvement
through the method of peer teaching, although not
yet optimal. The above description can be seen
through the graph below:
Figure 4: Graph of Average Percentage of Self-
Confidence of Deaf Students, Pre-test and Post-test.
4.1.5 Hypothesis Testing
Based on calculation result with Wilcoxon test
obtained J = 28. While the price of J in the table with
the real level α = 0.05 obtained price J_tabel = 2.
From the specified test criteria, then the price
J_count> J_table, then H
0
is not acceptable. Thus it
can be concluded that there is influence of the use of
peer teaching methods to increase deaf students' self-
confidence in the SLB-B X.
4.2 Discussion
At the time of treatment all students showed interest
in the learning activities using peer-teaching method,
this can be seen from the improvement of overall
score results both from the disclosure of confidence
internally with a description of the results of the
questionnaire score, or externally from the increased
score of observation sheets made when treatment,
while there is also an increase in learning results that
affect the students' self-confidence score.
The results showed that the use of peer teaching
method effectively increased the confidence that can
be observed from several aspects, namely the belief
in self-ability, optimistic, objective, responsible, and
rational realistic (Lauster, 1997). By using the
method of peer teaching, students become aware of
themselves and confident to complete the task well.
This is evident from the results of student learning is
increased and there is liveliness in the classroom.
Students can think positively in the face of
something and not easily give up. Using this method
student who have high confidence will be a model
for friends in this way other students will be
motivated. Students have self-disclosure with others,
the application of peer teaching methods by making
students work with groups makes students more
open and trying to solve common problems. In
addition, students also become more independent
and can complete the task well, can think mature and
logical and act in accordance with the actual
situation.
Implementation of peer teaching method
provides opportunities for teachers and students to
establish a positive and balanced partnership. In
such situations and learning environments, there will
be freedom and spontaneity think (Pesci, A., 2009).
Creation of contextual and functional learning
environments in deaf students will provide a
meaningful learning experience. When the learning
experience is equilibrated in their cognitive
structure, it can generate confidence. Therefore,
teachers should create a positive learning
environment and provide a variety of experiences to
students both as a tutor for their friends, working
together, discussing in a group, and learning
experiences that are different from before.
Positive changes that occur in deaf students in
the ability of self-confidence cannot be separated
from the application of the steps of applying the
method of peer teaching i.e. (1) teachers prepare
teaching materials. The determination of learning
materials is based on the objectives and subject
targets (curriculum) as well as the student's baseline
ability obtained through developmental and
academic assessments, including hearing and
communication language assessments. (2) forming
small groups, each group is given different problems
or materials. Differences in the ability of deaf
students to understand the information (receptive)
and communicate (expressive) into consideration in
making this discussion group. In this study the
students' condition of hearing impairment was in the
The Use of Peer Teaching Method to Increase Self-Confidence of Deaf Students
235
classification of the heaviest deaf and most of them
used total communication. Consequences in
diversity are mutual respect, cooperation, and as a
means to actualize themselves in the group. (3)
teachers assign tutors from each group. Selection of
tutors is based on several considerations, among
them is to have a receptive ability, namely to
understand what will be conveyed and expressive is
the ability to express the idea more clearly and better
than his friends. And of course have high
interpersonal and empathy skills. (4) the teacher
becomes the facilitator to straighten the tutor's
understanding to his / her peers (tutee) so as not to
deviate. This can happen when there are difficult
material / new terms and is too abstract. Teachers
should also be able to monitor the activities of all
students to avoid the dominance of one of the
students, but also the teacher should be aware that
most students are trying to be genuine in front of
their peers, so the teacher should give access in the
form of the use of learning methods that require
students to be able to explore (5) giving time to
discuss and present. When teachers use conventional
methods, often deaf students have difficulties in
understanding information / learning materials or are
reluctant to ask and express their opinions. Using
agreed-upon language and easy-to-understand
communication, the process of delivering the
material is more effective, although it can be
interspersed with the use of alternative
communication media, that is total communication.
The use of various communication media can also
be the solution when the differences of perception
and opinion occur. Agustiningrum (2013) affirms
that the deaf student can learn how to respect others
so that he will also realize how important it is to
appreciate himself. (6) the tutor gives a report of the
results of the joint discussion tutee.
With the steps of applying the method of peer
teaching eaf students can feel and be part of the
learning process. This is in accordance with the
opinion of Gufron and Risnawita (2010) which
states that "success in each sample is determined by
several factors that may affect their self-confidence
in self-concept, self-esteem, experience, and
education." Furthermore, it is said by Gufron and
Risnawita (2010) that "the self-concept will be
acquired by someone when it comes to being in one
group". Success in education will increase one's
confidence. For a smaller scale of success in one's
education is the increased learning outcomes in the
classroom can also increase one's confidence. This is
in the opinion of Colvin (2007), that the benefits of
peer teaching are "the mutual support of each other
and building trust and good relationship, and
reflecting on their own experience."
Achievement of learning achievement of eaf
students especially in social sciences and civic
lesson through applying of peer teaching method is
depicted with indicator of the increase of
confidence. Achievement at a high level in deaf
students cannot be separated from the limitations in
applying the peer teaching method. Pesci (2009)
noted that there are some variables that must be
considered by the teacher so that the achievement
and confidence of students reach the optimum i.e.
(1) availability of time. Sometimes with so much
material, teachers need several meetings. For that the
teacher should be able to adjust the characteristics of
the subject, the depth of the material and apply
effective steps in the learning activities with the
number of meetings that exist and with the right
theme. For deaf students to understand social
sciences and civic lesson requires a high level of
understanding, because the material of the two
subjects is more abstract. (2) The ability and
creativity of teachers. With the ability to think, how
to communicate a variety of students, demands
teachers to really understand the workings of each
group. For that teachers should be skilled at
modifying and adapting the material to fit the
capacity and learning needs of students
proportionately. (3) students who are too dominant.
In group discussions often the teacher's attention will
be addressed to students who are actively speaking.
There is no opportunity for other students to convey
their ideas or thoughts, making the learning
interaction one-way and monotonous. Therefore,
teachers should be able to manage the classroom by
becoming a good facilitator to make the discussion
process interesting.
5 CONCLUSIONS
Based on the findings of data and discussion, it can
be concluded that the use of peer teaching method
can improve self-confidence of deaf students that is
on aspects of belief in self-ability, optimistic,
objective, responsible, and rational and realistic.
This can be seen from the theory study which is
supported by Wilcoxon test analysis J_count>
J_tabel (28> 2) then the null hypothesis (H0) is
rejected. This shows that there is influence of the use
of peer teaching method in improving self-
confidence of deaf students in SLB-B X, so that:
Using the peer teaching method, a deaf student
is able to work with other deaf students and
teach each other by using a language that is
more easily understood, and also as an answer
to deaf barriers in language development.

The use of peer teaching method makes deaf
students easier in mastering the learning, that is
by increasing the learning result of deaf
students.
By using peer teaching method, deaf students
are more active in learning and able to work
together so it can increase interaction between
deaf students with teachers, and also among
deaf students.
With high self-confidence, deaf students have
been able to recognize the potential they have.
