Student psychological responses to english for biology course in biology department of universitas negeri padang

Abstract

Education at the university expects graduates who are able to integrate with social life, including with international life. Students who graduate become a benchmark for the quality of the place they study. So, the quality of a university depends on the quality of the individual graduates. The quality of graduates is marked by their achievement index at the end of each semester. Students who have high intelligence have the possibility of getting high scores, and vice versa. The "English for Biology" course is an effort to harmonize the world's needs of qualified graduates with the role of the university's function as a place to prepare it. In each lecture will appear a variety of student responses psychologically to the lectures that are happening. These responses include perceptions, interests and attitudes. The response has an effect on student competence after lecturing. We have observed these psychological responses using questionnaire, and we had analyze them on Biology Department students at Universitas Negeri Padang. The result shown about student’s perception, interest and attitude.
