Location and Time of the Research
Population and Sample
The population in this research is the VIII grade students of SMPN 3 Parepare in the academic year 2020/2021. The sample in this research is VIII.1 grade which is selected using cluster random sampling technique. Then the researcher chooses one class at random from the whole class and the class is VIII.1.
According to Wilson and McLean stated that the questionnaire is a widely used and useful instrument for collecting survey information, providing structured data, often numerical, being able to be administered without the presence of the researcher and are often relatively straightforward to to be analyzed.35. The researcher made the questionnaire according to the indicators of perception according to Robbins, the indicators are Acceptance and evaluation.

When collecting data, the researcher used a questionnaire, where the content of the questionnaire was taken from journals and theory. They are useful when the information needed is not exploratory and the developer is interested in a particular answer.36. For the closed questions, the researcher used a Likert scale to obtain information from the students.
The Technique of Data Analysis
This shows that the higher frequency is on the Scale Agreement, with a total frequency of 18 respondents and on a percentage basis 62.06% compared to 100%. Based on the above result, it appears that the higher frequency is on the Scale Agreement, with a total frequency of 17 respondents and on a percentage basis 58.62% of 100%. This shows that the higher frequency is on the Disagree Scale, with a total frequency of 17 respondents and based on percentage 58.62% compared to 100%.
