2. Factors of Perception
According to Robbins 1997a, perception is influenced by three factors. They are perceiver, target that being observed, and context of situation in which
the perception is made. 1.
Perceiver The interpretation of a perceiver is influenced by personal charateristic.
The personal characteristic includes attitudes, personality, motives, interest, past experience, expectation, emotions and needs Robbins, 1997b.
Past experience is the most influencing factor of perception. It is because past experienc leads perceiver to have an expectation, which will influence their
perception. Besides, the emotion and interest also play as a crucial factor in the teaching and learning process. It is because with emotion and high interest the
teaching and learning process will be succeed. 2.
Target The characteristic of the target that are being observed can influence
what is perceived by the perceiver. The relationship betweeen the target with its backgrounds also influences the forming of perception. For example teachers’
perception on the use of teaching media can be very different for teacher who teach in an isolated village and they who teach in a city. It might be influenced by
the need of the use of teaching media itself.

Situation Situational context in factor influencing perceptions can be defined as the
context in which the perceiver sees object or event. Time, place, dark, light, and any other situational factors can influence the way people perceive an object. The
perception of a teacher who teach in one school as long as his work time toward students’ motivation in finishing their study might be different from a teacher who
teach not only in one school. It is influnced by the situation of the school in which they spent their time for teaching.
