F. Definition of Terms
The researcher provides the definitions of terms which related to this study as follows:
1. Perception
According to Richard Daft 2015, perception is a process of selecting, organizing and interpretation information of the environment. So there will be
stimuli which are selected before it can be interpreted. In other words, perception is a person’s view of reality Altman, Valenzi, Hodgetts, 1985. In this study,
perception is defined as a process of students’ view, feeling, and thought about the
learning process of Play Performance Course that influences their development of leadership skill.
2. Learning Process
According to Garry, modifications can happen through learning and the process of behavior change is resulted from experience especially through training
and practice Garry, 1965. Therefore, learning is a process of changing and developing. Bloom in his learning theory argued that brain has three domains of
learning which are cognitive, affective, and psychomotor Anderson et al., 2001. From, this perspective, the orientation of learning process in Play Performance
Course includes three of them. The cognitive is the knowledge that students got in class, affective is the process of working in group with different characters of
people, while psychomotor includes the process of physical exercises and play performance practices. In this study, the learning process is the process of changing
and developing both inside the class with the lecturer and outside the class like the physical exercises and play performance practices.
3. Play Performance Course
Based on Panduan Akademik Academic Guide 2010 of English Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University Yogyakarta, KPE 345 Play
Performance Course is one of compulsory subjects taught in ELESP of Sanata Dharma University which can be taken in the fifth or sixth semester. The contents
to be learned in the course are the techniques of play directing and the organizations of play production. The practices are mostly outside the class. The product of Play
Performance course is a performance which will be done outside the campus in the end of the semester.
4. Leadership
In terms of leadership, Szilagy and Wallace 1980 defined two different types of leaders. They are formal leaders and informal leader. Someone is
considered as a formal leader because of the position in office or organization. Formal Leader is responsible to perform functions such as planning, organizing,
and controlling the work. Besides, informal leader referred to informal emergent or peer leader and it is not from the position held. The informal leader exists because
of special quality of the particular individual that is desirable for the group. In this study, leadership skill which is given being developed is informal
leader. Informal leader can bring a very valuable role in organizations if their
behavior and influence fits with the goals and objectives of the total organization Syilagy
and Wallace, 2015. Moreover,
leadership involves creating change, not maintaining the status quo Daft, 2015. A situation when someone takes a role in
making change and it involves the other members or followers can be considered as leadership phenomenon.
