A. Understanding learning media
There are so many notions of Learning Media are as follows:
- The Association for Educational and Communication Technology (AECT) defines as all forms of media are used for information distribution process.
- the National Education Association (NEA) defines as all forms of media objects can be manipulated, viewed, heard, spoken, read, and instruments used for such activities.
- Winkinson L Gane (in Harsya W Bakhtiar, 1984) divides media into two parts, namely the Media in a broad sense and the media in the narrow sense. The media put more emphasis in the broad sense as a process rather than as objects. While media education in the strict sense only to consider two elements particularly the materials and tools.
B. Urgency Learning Media
The fact indicates that the effectiveness of learning or the learning process is often not achieved optimally. This is because learning as a process of communication is often confronted with various obstacles. Among these obstacles is the tendency of verbal unpreparedness, lack of interest, passion and others. Utilization of the media in the learning process is one attempt to overcome these circumstances, given the media function in the learning process, other than as a stimulus presenter also to enhance harmony, especially in receiving information. Besides, the media also serves as an intermediary between the presenter with the students (citizens of study) and in certain cases the media serves to regulate the steps of progress and to provide feedback.
Schramm suggests some media functions as follows:
1. Provide wider learning opportunities to the level much higher than might be achieved without the media.
2. Assist the teacher / tutor in preparing the program of learning to become more effective.
3. As a means of communication in order to further streamline the process of learning.
4. Provide an abstract experience without rides, for example to explain about the bucket would be more clear when shown the object.
