Those objectives are to investigate the students perceptions on the use of observation sheets, to explore the feedback gathered from the use of observation sheet, and the possible recommendations to improve the use of observation sheets in microteaching class.

E. Research Benefits

The findings of this research are expected to provide valuable contribution to:

1. Microteaching lecturers especially at Sanata Dharma University

This research provides information on how the students perceive the use of observation sheets in microteaching classes as one of evaluation form. Positive perception leads to positive behaviours, which then lead to a successful teaching goal achievement. This research provides also feedback the students obtained and students’ recommendation to improve the use of observation sheet.

The result of this research helps the microteaching students to have further comprehension about the effect of perception on the use of observation sheet as media evaluation toward teaching skills development. By recognizing the students’ perception toward observation sheet and the feedback students obtained in general, microteaching students will have more positive perception toward the observation sheet. Thus, the positive perception will affect students’ learning process then will affect students’ teaching skills development.
