Abstract

Accuracy of perception is the ability of individuals to recognize, organize, and interpret input from the environment and it is influenced by the level of individuals’ concentration on observing an object. When we can find out the causes of individual perceptual accuracy, we can design a learning instrument to enhance this ability. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of r`eward on the accuracy of pupils' perceptions. The study employs a comparative experimental approach, in which 20 subjects are divided into two groups: 10 subjects were promised rewards and 10 subjects were not. The accuracy of perception is measured by the length of time used by subjects when completing two different levels of tests. The more time required by subjects to complete the test, the more inaccurate perceptions of research subjects. To test hypotheses, the researcher performed the Split-Plot Anova technique on the subject's length of time completing the tests. The result shows that the p-value is 0.115, greater than 0.05 which means that there was no influence of giving rewards on the accuracy of perception.

Kecermatan persepsi merupakan kemampuan individu dalam mengenali, mengorganisasikan, serta memaknai hal-hal yang berada di lingkungan sekitar dan dipengaruhi oleh tingkat konsentrasi individu dalam mengamati suatu objek. Ketika kita dapat mengetahui penyebab kecermatan persepsi yang dimiliki individu, kita dapat merancang sebuah instrumen pembelajaran untuk meningkatkan kemampuan ini. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh pemberian penghargaan terhadap kecermatan persepsi peserta didik. Penelitian yang menggunakan kaidah kuantitatif dengan pendekatan eksperimen komparasi ini membagi 20 subyek ke dalam dua kelompok yaitu 10 subyek yang dijanjikan reward dan 10 subyek tidak dijanjikan reward. Kecermatan persepsi subyek diukur dengan tes yang diberikan sebanyak dua kali menggunakan instrumen yang berbeda dengan memperhatikan lama waktu subyek menyelesaikan tes. Semakin banyak waktu yang dibutuhkan oleh subyek dalam menyelesaikan tes, semakin tidak cermat persepsi subyek penelitian. Data rentang waktu subyek dalam mengerjakan tes dianalisis dengan teknik Split-Plot Anova. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai signifikansi yang diperoleh adalah 0,115 lebih besar dari 0,05 sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak ada pengaruh antara pemberian penghargaan dengan kecermatan persepsi yang dimiliki subyek.
