Abstract

This study analyzed the students’ perception of the material presentation
assignment which is one of the task requirements of the course in Faculty of
Language and Literature Satya Wacana Christian University. It is important for
the teachers to know about students’ perception since it has been conducted for
several semesters without knowing the evaluation and students’ voice. One of the
purposes of knowing students’ perception is to show the students’ learning
process and the teachers’ teaching process. This study uses Descriptive
Phenomenology methodology to describe the students’ perception itself. The
students’ perception is influenced by students’ needs and desires. Rao and
Narayana (1998) stated that needs and desires are internal factors that affect the
students’ perception. The results of interviews with the students who have done
this material presentation assignment show that in doing assignment presentation
task, the students need to understand the course subject and meet the task
requirement of the course. The students also desire to achieve good grades and
explore the chapter.

Keywords: perception, the material presentation assignment.
