i. Monitoring the student teacher’s activities during PPL Supervising teachers are the one who have responsibility during student
teachers doing their PPL at school. Therefore everyday supervising teachers should monitor student teachers activities.
j. Giving all the assessment instruments to the supervising lecturers Student teacher’s final mark is decided by supervising lecturers. So,
supervising teachers should give all the assessment instruments to the supervising lecturers as one of considerations.
k. Checking the PPL report which was made by student teacher The PPL’s report is one of considerations on student teachers assessments.
Therefore supervising teachers should check it first before student teachers give the report to the school and to their supervising lecturers.
B. Theoretical Framework
This research is a study on student teachers of English Language Education Study Program’s perception on the role of supervising teachers and supervising
lecturers in Program Pengalaman Lapangan PPL. The researcher looked for some facts about everything related to perception. There are many factors which
can affect someone’s perception. First, as the researcher has provided about those facts on the theoretical description, there are some factors influencing perception.
Based on Altman 1985, pp. 86-91, there are four factors which can influence perception; those are selection of stimuli, organization of stimuli, the situation,
and self-concept. The four things mentioned above are related to the human itself,
17
especially human brain. As has been explained on the theoretical description, there are many stimuli in our brain which can catch much informations when
people are doing something. Those informations then are chosen by their brain which can make different result to other people, because their brain may choose
different stimuli one to another. There are two other things that can influence someone’s perception; they are situation and self-concept. So, the researcher can
conclude that different characters and situation of someone may affect his her perception on something.
After knowing all things that can affect someone’s perception, the researcher now discusses the relationship between perception and the ways of
human thinking and learning. As has already provided on the theoretical description, Robbins has stated clearly about that case. The researcher concludes
that after people receive some information in their brain, they can make such an interpretation resulted in their perception which then affects human’s ways of
thinking. As has already stated clearly about what perception is, the factors influencing perception and the relationship between perception and the ways of
human thinking and learning, the researcher then tried to look for student teachers’ perception on the role of supervising teachers and supervising lecturers
by using Likert Scale provided in the questionnaires and interview in order to know whatever affected student teachers’ perception on that.
Next, after knowing factors which can affect perception and the relationship between perception and the ways of human thinking and learning,
now the researcher will start to discuss each role of student teacher, supervising
18
teachers and supervising lecturers. It has stated clearly on Pedoman Pelaksanaan Program Pelaksanaan Lapangan, that student teachers, supervising lecturers and
the supervising teachers have their own job descriptions in PPL. The book entitled Pedoman Pelaksanaan Program Pelaksanaan Lapangan is used as a guideline
what are actually the supervising teachers, the supervising lecturers and student teacher should do in PPL. As the comparator, the researcher also included the role
of student teachers in PPL. There is one role clearly stated on PPL’s book that student teachers must consult the syllabus and lesson plan to the supervising
teachers and supervising lecturers. It means that not only supervising teachers and supervising lecturers who have responsibility to help student teachers but student
teachers also must help themselves by come to supervising teachers and supervising lecturers. In this research not all of the roles of supervising teachers
and supervising lecturers will be included on the research because as has been stated on the limitation of the study that this study is only focused on the role of
supervising teachers and supervising lecturers which is directly related to student teachers. For supervising teachers, ten out of eleven job descriptions would be
included in this research. For supervising lecturers, five out of twelve job descriptions would be included in this research because those roles are directly
related to student teachers.
