REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
The Concept of Perception
In psychology, philosophy, and the cognitive sciences, perception is the process of making sense of sensory information. In biology, perception is understood as "the mental interpretation of physical sensations caused by stimuli from an external word". Through the theory given by businessdictionary.com (shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in), the definition of perception is “the process by which people translate sense impressions into a coherent and unified view of the world around them.
Although necessarily based on incomplete and unverified (or unreliable) information, perception is "reality" and guides human behavior in general. According to Robbins (2003), perception is the process that individuals take to manage and interpret perception of sensory to give meaning in their environment. Perception is defined differently by different researchers, as Chee (2002) has stated that the reception of stimuli that can be influenced by an individual's mental awareness, previous experiences, knowledge, motivation and social interactions.

Social perception is how an individual "sees" others and how others perceive an individual (Pickens, 2005: 60). They are generally only local maxima of fitness. The fitness function depends not only on one factor, but on numerous factors, including the cost of classification errors, the time and energy.
The students' perception is the students' perception of their teacher's relationship to personality, attitudes, feelings, experience and expectation, or the student's perception of the teacher's competence (Musdahariah, 2017: 9). Psychologist Richard Gregory argued that perception is a constructive process that relies on top-down processing. The first process of change influenced by the psychological processes of the nervous system in the human senses.
In the learning process, the focus was on the presence of external stimuli (stimulus), while in the cognition process it is the most important push or the will of the individual himself. As cited in Marr (1982) believes that the purpose of perception is to define information from the outside world. The changed purpose of perception comes from an evolutionary perspective, which stated that perception is the way for creatures to increase the chance of survival.
