THE EFFECTS OF THE STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION ON LEARNING MEDIA AND PERSONALITY TOWARDS THE STUDENTS’ SPEAKING ABILITY

Abstract

The aim of the research is to know the effects of  the students’ perception on learning media   and personality towards the students’ speaking ability. The total sample of this research is  82 students. The technique for collecting data of  the students’ perception on learning media  and  personality used   questionnaires, and the speaking ability test was acquired from the students’ speaking test by having 15- item interview instrument. The research methodology   used is survey,  and technique of data analysis  used  is regression analysis model. The statistic test used F-_test, t-_test, R_square and the data analysis used correlation technique and partial regression. The research findings are 1). There is   significant effects of the students’ perception on learning media  and personality jointly  towards the students’ speaking ability at English education department students of private universities  in Subang. The significance of regression coefficient equals to  sig.0.000, or 0.000<0.05. The coefficient value of  F_observed equals to  11.555.   It turns out that F_observed > F_tabel, or 11.555>3.1, or H₁ is accepted.  R_Square coefficient equals to  0.226. It means that the variables of the students’ perception on learning media  (X1) and personality (X2) jointly can determine or predict the speaking ability (Y) with  contribution 22.6%.  Î± equals to 0.05 and n equals to 82.  H₁ is rejected. 2). There is  significant effects partially students’ perception on learning media  towards the students’ speaking ability at English education department students of private universities in Subang. It declares that the  sig  value of students’ perception on learning media  variable  (X₁)  equals to 0.022. It shows that  probability or significance is less than 0,05. The value of t coefficient or  t_observed equals to 2.339, with t_table equals to 1.99. Since t_observed > t_table and the coefficient value of  Sig.< 0,05, H₁ is accepted. 3). There is   significant effects partially personality towards the students’ speaking ability at English department students of private universities in Subang. It turns out that the  sig.  value of the personality variable (X₂) equals to 0.001. It shows that probability or sig  is less than 0,05.  The value of t coefficient or  t_observed equals to 3.394, with t_table equals to 1.99. Since t_observed > t_table and the coefficient value of  Sig.< 0,05  here H₁ is accepted
