evaluate themselves by watching the video of their performance. Therefore, the researcher hopes that this study can inspire the lecturers to use recorded
performance as the way for the students to do self-reflection.
2. Microteaching Students
This research discusses some related information on the use of recorded performance in Microteaching class. This research also inspires the students to
improve their teaching practice. By watching their recorded performance they can evaluate themselves and reflect their teaching practice. They can reflect how they
dress, how they speak, their eye contact, their movement, how they set induction and closure, how they develop the reinforcement, class management, and so on.
3. Future researcher
Finally, this research is hoped to provide inspiration for the future research to conduct research related to the use of recorded performance to do self-
reflection. The researcher also hopes that this research can enrich the existing researcher with the same topic.

1. Perceptions
According to Altman et al. 1985, perception is defined as how people select and group the stimuli so they can interpret the stimuli meaningfully. Robins
2001 also defines that perception is a process by which individuals organize and interpret their sensory impressions in order to give meaning to their environment.
There are three factors that can influence perception. They are in the perceiver, in the target and in the context of situation in which the perception is made. Based
on the explanation, in this research, perception is the way students of microteaching perceive, understand and interpret the use of recorded performance
to do self-evaluation on their teaching practice.
2. Microteaching
Gilarso and Suseno 1986, in their book Program Pengalaman Lapangan Microteaching, consider Microteaching as method of teacher-skill practice or
teaching practice, conducted in a small scope or limited area. Therefore, the practice is much easier to control. In this situation, it is more effective to develop
professional teaching competences of the student teachers. In this research, microteaching is a course offered in sixth semester of 20102011 Academic Year
in which the researcher explores students’ perceptions on the use of recorded performance to do self-reflection.

3. Recorded Performance
Commonwealth Considerate Acts 2010 states that recorded performance is a performance embodied in to constitute an audiovisual recording. Therefore,
recorded performance is in audiovisual form. Recorded performance used in this research is the recorded of students’ teaching practices in microteaching class.
Students’ teaching practices are recorded using 3 video camera provided in each corner of Microteaching classes.
4. Self-Reflection
Self-reflection is defined as students judging the quality of their work, based on evidence and explicit criteria, for the purpose of doing better work in the
future. Rolheise and Ross 2010 states that self-reflection is a potentially powerful technique because of its impact on student performance through
enhanced self-efficacy and increased intrinsic motivation. In this research, self- reflection is defined as an activity in which the students evaluate their teaching
practice by watching the recorded performance.
