Abstract  
Simulation is a part of Experiential Learning which represents certain real-life events. In 

this study, simulation is used as a learning activity in Approaches, Methods, and 

Techniques (AMT) course which is one of the courses in English Language Education 

Study Program (ELESP) of Sanata Dharma University. Since simulation represents the 

real-life events, it encourages students to apply the approaches, methods, and techniques 

being studied based on the real-life classroom. Several experts state that students are able 

to involve their personal experiences through simulation which additionally is believed to 

create a meaningful learning in the class. This study aimed to discover ELESP students’ 

perceptions toward simulation as a part of Experiential Learning in AMT course. From 

the findings, it could be inferred that students agreed that simulation in class was 

important for students’ learning for it formed a meaningful learning in class.  

 
Keywords: students’ perceptions, simulation, Experiential Learning, AMT course 

 

Introduction 

Approaches, Methods, and Techniques (AMT) course is the first course that 

prepares the students to be future English teachers. According to Buku Panduan 

Akademik Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Universitas Sanata Dharma 

Yogyakarta (2012), this course is included in Kelompok Mata Kuliah Berkarya 

(MKKB) or known as Content Courses that introduce ELESP students of Sanata 

Dharma University who are in semester 4 to learn concepts and principles of 

certain approaches, methods, and techniques. Through this course, students are 

prepared to teach using different approaches, methods, and techniques. Moreover, 

this course invites students to learn how to apply those approaches, methods, and 

techniques by doing simulation which is based on a real-life classroom.  

Furthermore, learning through simulation is a part of Experiential Learning. 

According to Kohonen, Jatinen, Kaikkonen, and Lehtovaara (2011), Experiential 

Learning includes various interactive activities through which participants are able 

to learn from each other’s experiences. Those interactive activities are: 1) personal 

journals and reflections, 2) portfolios, thought questions and reflective essays, 3) 

role plays, drama activities, games, and simulation, 4) personal stories and case 

studies, 5) visualizations and imaginative activities, 6) models, analogies and 

theory construction, 7) empathy-taking activities, story-telling, sharing with 

others, 8) discussions and reflection in cooperative groups (p.23). It can be seen

from the list that simulation is indeed a part of Experiential Learning. Keeton and 

Tate (1978) state that Experiential Learning refers to learning in which a learner is 

expected to be in touch with the realities being studied (as cited in Kolb, 1984, 

p.5). In AMT course, students are to learn the application of approaches, methods, 

and techniques being studied based on a real-life classroom in order to experience 

it directly.  

According to Lewis, Wentworth, Reinke, and Becke (1974), simulation is an 

imitation of reality in an artificial situation (p. 2). In this study, simulation is used 

as a learning activity in class to represent real-life classroom situation in order for 

students to practice how to apply the approaches, methods, and techniques being 

studied. Thus, students have knowledge of the application of approaches, 

methods, and techniques which are useful and helpful when they are about to 

teach later on.  

The fact that this is the first course that prepares the students to be future 

English teachers and that this is the first time students learn how to apply certain 

approaches, methods and techniques make students' understanding of this course 

matters the most. For those reasons, this study would like to address one research 

question, namely what are ELESP students’ perceptions toward simulation as a 

part of Experiential Learning in AMT course? In order to answer the research 

question, the writer conducted a survey. The instrument used to gather the data 

was questionnaire which consisted of 28 close-ended statements and 2 open-ended 

questions. The questionnaire was distributed to every fourth semester students in 

ELESP who were taking AMT course in the academic year of 2016/2017. The 

data were analyzed by applying Likert Scale. There were four scales which were 

used, namely “Strongly Disagree”, “Disagree”, “Agree” and “Strongly Agree”. 

The writer omitted “Neutral” option in order to know the exact answer from the 

participants whether they agreed or not. 

 

Perception 

Altman, Valenzi, and Hodgetts (1985) state that perception is the way stimuli 

are selected by a person so that they can be meaningfully interpreted (p. 85). 

Referring to the theory, the writer implies that perception is a process where a 

person selects some stimulus in order to be interpreted into a meaningful 

information. Nevertheless, Assael (1995) state that what a person perceives or 

interprets might be different compared to the perception of other people.  

A person’s awareness and acceptance of the stimuli play an important role in 

the perception process. Receptiveness to the stimuli is highly selective and may be 

limited by a person’s existing beliefs, attitude, motivation, and personality. 

Individuals will select the stimuli that satisfy their immediate needs (perceptual 

vigilance) and may disregard stimuli that may cause psychological anxiety 

(perceptual defense) (as cited in Borkowski, 2005, p. 54). 

Based on Assael’s theory, it can be seen that every person perceives things 

differently based on his goals, needs or motives which lead to either a positive or 

negative perception. Referring to the previous theory, the writer presents theories 

on factors affecting perception in order to know the factors affecting ELESP 

students’ perceptions toward simulation as a part of Experiential Learning in

AMT course. According to Altman, Valenzi, and Hodgetts (1985), there are four 

factors affecting individual’s perception of a certain thing, namely 1) Selection of 

Stimuli, 2) Organization of Stimuli, 3) The Situation, and 4) The Person’s Self-

Concept (pp. 86-91). 

Selection of stimuli is the first factor affecting individual’s perception. 

Selection of stimuli is where an individual only focuses on a small number of 

stimuli. Therefore, he perceives things differently for he tends to choose specific 

cues, filters, etc. The second factor influences perception is an organization of 

stimuli. This factor focuses on whether the mind is able to arrange the information 

to become meaningful or not. After an individual selects the information, the mind 

will try to put them together in a meaningful way based on his experience. 

Another factor affecting an individual’s perception is the situation. This factor 

gives big impact to an individual’s perception of certain thing. The individual’s 

familiarity with, expectations about the situation and also what his or her 

experience influence what that individual perceives. The fourth factor affecting an 

individual’s perception is self-concept. Self-concept is how a person feels about, 

perceives, and sees himself as an individual. Every person has different self-

concept on themselves which is why it will affect their perception of the world 

around them and will cause different perception from one another. 

 

Experiential Learning 

According to Keeton and Tate (1978), Experiential Learning is learning 

where the learners are expected to be in touch with the realities being studied (as 

cited in Kolb, 1984, p. 5). Learning through simulation as a part of Experiential 

Learning allows the students to learn not only from reading theories, books or 

related references but also to experience directly how to apply the approaches, 

methods, and techniques based on a real-life classroom. In addition, Kolb 

(1984:42) state that the model of Experiential Learning consists of two 

dimensions, they are Prehension Dimension and Transformation Dimension (as 

cited in Kohonen, Jaatinen, Kaikkonen, and Lehtovaara 2001, pp. 27-28). 

Prehension Dimension refers to the way the individual grasps experience. 

Afterward, Transformation Dimension refers to how experience is transformed 

through reflection and active experimentation. According to Kolb (1984), those 

two dimensions of Experiential Learning produce “four orientations to learning”, 

namely 1) Concrete Experience, 2) Abstract Conceptualization, 3) Reflective 

Observation, 4) Active Experimentation (as cited in Kohonen, Jaatinen, 

Kaikkonen, and Lehtovaara, 2001, pp. 28-29).   

Concrete Experience focuses on feeling over thinking by involving personal 

experiences. Next, Abstract Conceptualization focuses in learning by thinking and 

manipulating abstract symbols. After that, Reflective Observation focuses on 

understanding the meaning of ideas through careful observation by focusing on 

how things happen based on someone’s thoughts, feelings, and judgments in 

seeing things from different perspectives. Thereafter, Active Experimentation 

focuses on learning by action, with an emphasis on getting things done. Students 

are expected to learn how to change situations and take risks in order to meet the 

goals.

Simulation 

According to L. Jones (1983), simulation is a representation of a series of 

real-life events (p. 1). In this study, simulation represents a real-life classroom 

where there is a teacher applies certain approaches, methods, and techniques in a 

classroom to teach his students. Similarly, Guetzkow (1963) states that simulation 

has two essential features which must appear before an activity could be 

considered as a simulation, they are; 1) It must represent a real situation, 2) It 

must be operational, an ongoing process (as cited in Ellington, Addinall, and 

Percival, 1981, p. 16). Based on the previous theory, it can be seen what needs to 

appear in an activity to be addressed as a simulation. However, there might be 

some questions about teacher’s role in the class. Hertel and Millis (2002), state 

that the instructor, who is the teacher himself, is to help and to be both helper and 

facilitator instead of judging or testing the students (as cited in Coffman, 2006, p. 

2). Moreover, Hertel and Millis (2002) also state that simulation will provide 

students the opportunity to get involved and participated in real-life experience 

which will make them become more aware as active participants (as cited in 

Coffman, 2006, p. 3). Since students have the chance to directly experience how 

to apply the approaches, methods, and techniques being studied through 

simulation, it encourages them to be more active as participants.   

Additionally, L. Jones (1983) state that simulation is divided into three 

distinct phases, namely preparation, simulation, and follow-up (p. 3). Those three 

phases are done by following these 5 steps, namely 1) Preparation in class, 2) 

Preparation at home, 3) Simulation, 4) Follow-up at home, 5) Follow-up in class. 

Referring to the theory, the writer intends to figure out whether the simulation in 

AMT course is based on those steps or not. Furthermore, Brumfield (2005) state 

that the results of using simulation are not only to help students in the education 

but also to enlighten students in finding how to apply certain issues or concepts 

(as cited in Coffman, 2006, p. 3). It improves students’ skills in solving some 

issues and applying certain concepts since simulation allows them to apply the 

theories and relate them to the real-life context.

 From the results of table 1, it can be seen that there are few negative 

perceptions toward the concepts and factors affecting perception toward 

simulation in AMT course. Students agree that facilities in class and situation of 

the class do not support them to conduct the simulation and sometimes they have 

a hard time in understanding the simulation. Referring to the open-ended 

questions, students state that situation of the class is too noisy for students are 

busy with themselves to pay attention to the simulation. Likewise, facilities in 

class also need to be improved for sometimes it is hard for them to find a marker. 

Students also state that sometimes they have difficulties in understanding the 

simulation since the simulation does not cover the theory from the book and 

students who are to do the simulation are not well-prepared. In that way, the data 

from the open-ended questions present the reasons behind the negative 

perceptions found in the close-ended statements.   

However, from the result of table 1, the writer discovers that students tend to 

have positive perceptions toward simulation in AMT course. It can be seen from 

the results of the close-ended questions in table 1 that most of the students agree 

with the statement that simulation is important for it makes the learning in class 

meaningful. Students agree that through simulation they are able to achieve their 

goals which are to understand the application of approaches, methods, and 

techniques being studied. Furthermore, students agree that simulation improves 
their ability in teaching and also facilitates them in obtaining deep understanding

toward the course. Referring to the open-ended questions, the students state by 

doing simulation they know how to implement some techniques, to use different 

methods, and to implement the materials in the class. Most of all, students state 

that simulation facilitates them in achieving their goals which are to understand 

more about the approaches, methods, and techniques being studied and to check 

whether their teaching is good or not. Thus, through open-ended questions, the 

readers can see the reasons behind the positive perceptions found in the close-

ended statements.   

Next, in order to further study the students’ perceptions toward simulation, 

the writer presents table 2 which is about students’ perceptions toward learning 

through simulation as a part of Experiential Learning in AMT course. In the table 

presented below, there are five statements covering the definition of Experiential 

Learning and its’ four orientations.

From the results of table 2, the writer discovers that students have positive 

perceptions toward learning through simulation as a part of Experiential Learning 

in AMT course. Based on the data, the writer can infer that through simulation, 

students are able to involve their experiences in the learning process, learn more 

about the application approaches, methods, and techniques by observing other 

group’s simulation, understand the theories of approaches, methods, and 

techniques more, and experience the application of approaches, methods, and 

techniques instead of only reading the theories. Referring to the open-ended 



LLT, ISSN 1410-7201, Vol. 20, No. 1, April 2017

questions, the students state that simulation encourages them to learn by involving 

their experiences in using those approaches, methods, and techniques to teach in a 

real-life classroom. In addition, they also obtain a better understanding of the 

theories for they need to understand it first before implementing the theories in the 

simulation. Therefore, the data from the open-ended questions presents the 

reasons behind the positive perceptions found in the close-ended statements.  

To be more precise about students’ perceptions toward simulation, the writer 

presents table 3 which is about students’ perceptions toward the implementation 

of simulation in AMT course. In the table presented on the next page, there are 14 

statements covering the definitions of simulation, the role of the teacher, in 

simulation, simulation’s phases, and simulation in education.

From the results of table 3, the writer discovers that there are several negative 

perceptions from the students toward the implementation of simulation in AMT 

course. Students agree that the situation of the class should be improved and also 

that the amount of time to do the simulation should be added. Referring to the 

open-ended questions, students state that situation of the class in the simulation 

should be improved for students do not act like real students. Furthermore, 

students state that they need more time to do the simulation. In that way, we can 

see that the data from the open-ended questions elaborate students’ negative 

perceptions toward the simulation which later could be considered as suggestions 

to improve the implementation of simulation in AMT course.  

Despite the fact that there are several negative perceptions, it can be inferred 

from the results of table 3 that most of the students’ perceptions toward simulation 

are positive. The writer discovers that the phases of the simulation done in class 

are the same with the supporting theory. First, simulation implemented in class 

always begins with a preparation in class. Second, students get to prepare the 

simulation by reading related references or books at home. However, most of the 

students think that the time to do the simulation is not enough. Then, there is 

follow-up at home by doing written work on the question about the discussion of 

the materials being simulated and follow-up at class after simulation where 

students accept feedback from the lecturer. From the data, the writer can also 

imply that students agree that simulation enlightens them about the function of a 

teacher, motivates them to learn more, helps them to practice to be a teacher, and 

facilitates them in obtaining better and deeper understanding. The writer also 

discovers that the lecturer acts as a facilitator who helps students by giving 

feedback instead of judging them. Referring to the open-ended questions, students 

state that simulation motivates them to find the best method to teach, to conduct 

productive class, to master the materials before delivering them to the students 

and to have loud voice volume and good eye contact as a teacher. Additionally, 

students state that they become more active as participants in class through 

simulation for they are motivated to learn how to be good teachers. Furthermore, 



LLT, ISSN 1410-7201, Vol. 20, No. 1, April 2017

students state that they always obtain feedback from lecturers which they use to 

improve themselves. Therefore, students can achieve deeper and better 

understanding of AMT course and can apply the approaches, methods, and 

techniques properly. 

 

Conclusions 

Based on the research findings and discussion, it can be seen that more than 

80% of the students have positive perceptions toward simulation as a part of 

Experiential Learning in AMT course. There are several conclusions that can be 

inferred from the research findings and discussion. First, students are motivated to 

be more active and to learn more by learning how to apply approaches, methods, 

and techniques instead of only reading theories. Second, the students have the 

chance to involve their personal experiences in learning how to be teachers and 

how to function as teachers based on real-life classroom. Third, the students have 

deep understandings of this course through simulation. Fourth, students are able to 

apply approaches, methods, and techniques properly. Therefore, it can be 

concluded that students agree that simulation is important for it makes the 

learning in class meaningful. Based on the research findings, the writer would like 

to suggest the lecturers of AMT course to set some rules to encourage students to 

be more serious and to pay attention to conduct and learn the simulation, to give 

more examples on how to simulate certain approaches, methods, and techniques in 

order for students to be able to do the simulation properly, to always check 

whether the simulation represents a real-life classroom or not in order for students 

to get accustomed to being a teacher, to consider adding extra time to do the 

simulation. Next, future writers are suggested to focus more on the different 

implementation of simulation between one class and another in order to know the
