The first two statements, numbers 1 and 2 investigate the use of a scripted role play in Play Performance class. Statement 1 was
about the students’ experience on the use of a scripted role play. The students agreed that they had
experienced the scripted role play in Play Performance class. In statement 1, there were 52.5 of the students who strongly agreed and 42.6 of the students who
agreed. Seemingly, there were 4.9 of the students who disagreed and none of the students strongly disagreed. Therefore, the total percentage of agreement level
was 95.1, which meant that almost all of the students had a positive perception. Worchel and Shebilske 1998 state that the perception is the process of
interpreting information. The result of the first statement showed that the students interpreted the information of the scripted role play well in Play Performance
class. Statement 2 was abo
ut the students’ enjoyment on performing the scripted role play. Most of the students agreed that they enjoyed having the scripted role
play in Play Performance class. In the second statement, there were 31.2 of the students who strongly agreed and 62.3 of the students who agreed. There were
4.9 of the students who disagreed and 1.6 of the students strongly disagreed.
37 Then, the total percentage of agreement level was 93.5 and the total percentage
of disagreement level was 6.5. Since the total percentage of agreement level was high, it could be said that most of the students had a positive perception toward
the second statement. Wick and Pick 1978 state that there is a connection between perception and experience. For the first two statements, the students had
the experience of using the scripted role play. Then, the results of them were good since they had a good experience and they would perceive a positive perception of
the scripted role play Statements 3 to 15 discussed the factors that influence perception on the
implementation of the scripted role play. For statements 3 and 4, the factor that was related to them was stereotype. According to Gibson, Ivanovich, and Donnely
1985, stereotype is a set of thinking in a particular group that is generalized to all members of the group. In statement 3, the total percentage of agreement level
reached 96.8. Meanwhile, the total percentage of disagreement level reached 3.2. Then, in statement 4 the total percentage of agreement level reached 93.5
and the total percentage of disagreement level reached 6.5. The result of statements 3 and 4 could be concluded that most of the students had a positive
perception toward each statement since the agreement percentage reached 90. The students believed the stereotype that the scripted role play improved their
speaking ability. On the other hand, statement 5 discussed selectivity as the factors that
influence perception on the implementation of the scripted role play. Gibson et al 1985 say that people tend to ignore information or cues that might make them
38 feel discomfort. In statement 5, the total percentage of agreement level only
reached 18. Meanwhile, the total percentage of disagreement level reached 82. It could be said that the students had a negative perception towards statement 5. In
Table 4.1, it could be seen that the total of the students who disagreed and strongly disagreed was the same. The students conveyed that they did not choose
the scripts to perform in Play Performance class. As the researcher said in the implementation of the scripted role play, the lecturers chose the script to perform
in Play Performance class. The students only drew a lot to choose one of the scripts.
Then, statements 6, 7, 8, and 9 focused on self-concept as the factors that influence perception on the implementation of the scripted role play. Gibson et al
1985 suggest that 1 knowing oneself makes easier to see others accurately, 2 one’s own characteristics affect the characteristics identified in others, and 3
persons who accept themselves are more likely to see favorable aspects of other people. In statement 6, the total percentage of agreement level reached 93.4.
Meanwhile, the total percentage of disagreement level reached 6.6. In statement 7, the total percentage of agreement level reached 96.7 and disagreement level
reached 3.3. In statement 8 the total percentage of agreement level reached 93.5 and disagreement level reached 6.5. In statement 9, the total percentage
of agreement level reached 95.1 and disagreement level reached 4.9. It could be seen that the agreement percentage reached more than 90, it could be said
that most of the students had a positive perception toward each statement. The students convinced that the self-concept factor made them feel challenged,
