F. Definition of Terms

The researcher provides the definition of some important terms related to the study. The terms are:

1. Microteaching

KPE 361 Microteaching is one of the compulsory subjects in the English Language Education Study Program at Sanata Dharma University. According to Allen and Ryan 1969 microteaching is a training concept that helps the professional development of teachers. Microteaching provides a simplified classroom teaching situation and also involves feedback on Microteaching students’ teaching performance p.01. This course is a practical course where the 7 Microteaching students can implement the basic teaching skills in the real practice.

2. Perception

Many experts have tried to define perception. Kreitner and Kinicki 2008 state that “perception is a mental and cognitive process that enables us to interpret and understand our surroundings”. The individual’s perception about the things surround him affects his behaviour NADEC-Philipines journal, 1986. Therefore, it is significant to make the students have good perception. If on the contrary, the students have bad perception, they will have the misleading concept of learning. In this research, perception is defined as how the students perceive their questioning skill performance in Microteaching class and interpret it to be meaningful information. The students’ perception of their questioning skill performance is derived from the students’ view of implementing the questioning skill in Microteaching class.
