MODELS OF LEARNING AND LEARNING MEDIA

The learning process is a process in carrying out activities in achieving the goal of Education Curriculum Education.
Aim to deliver education to students in both behavior change intellectually, morally and socially in order to live independently as individuals and social beings.
To achieve these objectives, students interact with learning environment which is set by the teachers through the learning process.
In the learning process, it is very important we as educators know the variety of its Instructional Media Learning Model that will be used to support the achievement of learning success

MODEL TYPES OF LEARNING:

1. DIRECT LEARNING

Application of learning with contextual approach will greatly assist teachers in connecting the material with real world subjects and motivate students to establish the relationship between knowledge and application to their lives as members of society (Department of Education, 2002). Contextual approach is the most appropriate approach in learning. Contextual approach can also be used in various models of learning, one of which is learning model langsung. According to Kardi and M. Nur (Th. 2000), direct teaching model has several stages or phases, namely:

1. Delivering the objectives and prepare students. In this phase, one teacher opened the lesson with a variety of ways such as storytelling, displays the phenomenon or do eksprimen. Motivating students with certain ways can arouse students' interest in learning. After the teacher explains the purpose of learning, giving some background information on the lesson and prepare students for learning.
2. Provide materials, through demonstration or step by step eksprimen. In this phase, teachers explore the concepts and connect students with the correct concept.
3. Guiding training. Students are busy learning activities, while teachers could provide assistance or guidance to students in need. Students are directed to their own understanding of new experiences based on early experience possessed by students.
4. Check for understanding and giving feedback. In this phase the teacher to check whether students have successfully done a good job? Teachers can also give umpam counterexample to a material that has not been solved.
5. Provide an opportunity for further training and how to apply them in real life.
   

Stages of the above seems obvious, that direct instruction is very good models for pupils who do not have a complete laboratory and quite efficient, because they do not need a special time to do the practicum. Students can perform activities of observation, making the analysis, formulate problems and make a conclusion in accordance with their findings. Direct instruction model with a contextual approach can reduce the misconceptions of students and can guide students in the formation of new concepts and connect with old concepts, so that between one concept and other concepts that are interconnected to form concept map.

2. PROBLEM BASED LEARNING

Problem Based Learning is learning that characterized the submission of questions or problems, focusing on the connections between disciplines, authentic inquiry, collaboration and generate work and demonstration.

The main feature of problem-based learning include the submission of questions or problems, focusing on the connections between disciplines, authentic inquiry, collaboration and generate work and demonstration. Not a problem-based learning is designed for teachers mernbantu provide as much information to students.

Problem based learning to help students become independent and autonomous learners. With the guidance of a teacher who repeatedly pushed and directed them to ask questions, find a solution to real problems by themselves, students learn to solve the tasks themselves.

According to Ibrahim (2002:3-5) in problem-based learning there are five main stages, as follows:

Phase 1
Student orientation to the problem.
Teacher explains the purpose of learning, explaining the logistics required, motivating students engage in solving problems chosen.

Phase 2
Organize students to learn.
Teachers help students learn to define and organize tasks related to the problem.

Phase 3
Guide the investigation of individual or group.
Teachers encourage students to gather the appropriate information, conduct experiments to obtain an explanation and troubleshooting.

Phase 4
Develops and presents the results of the work.
Teachers help students to plan and prepare appropriate work such as reports, videos, models and help them share the duties with his friend.

Phase 5
Analyze and evaluate problem-solving process.
Teachers help students to do reflection or evaluation of their investigation and the processes they use.

3. COOPERATIVE LEARNING

According to Slavin learning cooperative learning is done in groups, students in a classroom used as small groups consisting of four to five people to understand the concept of which was facilitated by the teacher. Cooperative learning model is a model of learning by setting small groups by taking into account the diversity of members of the group as a forum for students to work together and solve problems through social interaction with peers, providing the opportunity for students to learn something well at the same time and she became a resource person for another friend. So Cooperative learning is an instructional model that prioritizes collaboration among students to achieve their learning goals. Cooperative learning model can be characterized by: 1) to complete their study material, students learn in cooperative groups, 2) a group formed by students who have high ability, medium and low, 3) if there are classes comprising students from some racial, ethnic, cultural sexes, then aligned to be in each group consisted of race, ethnicity, culture, different sexes, and 4) the award is more focused on group work than on individuals.

Cooperative learning model was developed to achieve at least three important learning goals. According to the Education Ministry's first goal of cooperative learning, such as improving academic results, with improved student performance in academic tasks. Students are better able to become a resource for students who are less fortunate, who have the same orientation and language. While the second goal, cooperative learning provides opportunities for students to receive her friends who have various learning differences in the background. Differences include differences in ethnicity, religion, academic ability, and social levels. The third important objective of cooperative learning is to develop the social skills of students. Social skills is, among others, sharing tasks, actively asking, respect other people's opinions, fishing friends to ask, would explain an idea or opinion, work in groups and so forth.

Competence on Cooperative learning:
1. Understanding Value / Concept
2. Ability apply concepts / problem solving

KINDS OF LEARNING MEDIA

Media include print media, media display, media display, media experiments, OHP, and the combination, slide, film strip, film, VCD, instructional TV, internet, and so forth.
According to Wilbur Schramm instructional media differentiated into two kinds, namely big media and small media. Big media interpreted as a complex and expensive media, like TV, Movies, Computers, and the like. In accordance with the recommendations in GBPP then this module will provide a differentiated media nonelektronik media and electronic media.
Media nonelektronik frequently used in learning can include: print, media display, media display, media experiments. Next to the electronic media in teaching Physics, can be: OHP, OHP and combination, slide instructional program, the program strip film, instructional films, VCD, instructional television and the Internet.

Criteria Selecting Media:
1. Accuracy with Learning Objectives
2. Ease of Obtaining
3. Skilled teachers use
4. Appropriate levels of student thinking
5. Availability Time

Media types include:
1. Visual Media

Example of Procedure text:

Info
* Prep: 1 - 2 hrs.
* Cook: ~30 mins.
* Serves: 3

Ingredients
* Olive Oil
* Flour
* Mozzarella cheese
* one or two packets of Dry Active Yeast
* Tomatoes diced or whole is fine

Ho to make it. Follow these steps :


First, we need to make the dough - this is the most critical step. Drop one or two packets of yeast into a bowl. I use two, but you can get away with one. I find that the extra yeast sometimes helps the dough rise a bit more if I end up making too little. But one works.

At this point, you want to add about 3/4 of a cup of LUKEWARM water. It should not be hot, it should not be cold. If its hot, you'll end up cooking the yeast before its ready, and if its cold, the yeast wont rise well. Mix the yeast until it dissolves in the water - this should take ten seconds or so.

Now, we add flour.

Grab a nice big handful of flour and dump it in.

You'll have a gooky mess at this point - it will stick to your fingers, get as much of the mess out of the the bowl and onto a clean dry surface. Don't wash off your hands at this point (hopefully you did that before you started) - you have a lot of flour and yeast stuck to them and you don't want to waste it.

Now, comes the hard part - Keep adding a little bit of flour (were talking pinches of it) and kneading the ball again and again, always adding a little bit more flower. You'll see the ball absorbs the flower easily and gets a bit bigger as you add more. If the ball is sticky wet and sticks to your hands - its too wet. If the ball sticks to the counter - its too wet. How do you know you've added enough? When you can make a nice fist sized ball that isn't sticky and - this is the best way to tell - is a little elastic. That is, when you push down on it and release it (ever so slightly, this isn't a slinky) comes back to its original shape. The "spring back" is really minimal - you have to watch for it, but this is another good indication it's done. A third way to check is to taste a tiny piece. It should have the consistency of chewing gum in your mouth. Most important though - you don't want a big wet sopping ball that is sticky. This kneading process takes roughly 10-20 minutes.

Now, take a bowl and line the bottom with just a little flour. Place the ball in the bowl and cut a little flower into it with a knife.

Now cover the ball with just a little flour... just a light coat Now cover the bowl with something (another bowl, a plate, anything that can create a decent seal). Put it to the side for a good hour.

Get your tomatoes. You'll notice they are really soggy and wet. And what have we learned about soggy wet stuff and pizza? That's right! It doesn't mix. So you want to squeeze out as much of the water from the tomato as possible or else you'll end up with a puddle of water on your pizza as they cook.

Water removed: Typically, I end up using 3 large cans per pizza.

Now, put that aside and go grab a tray and line the bottom with a little olive oil, just enough to coat the bottom ever so slightly.

Once the pizza dough has been sitting for AT LEAST AN HOUR, go grab it You'll see the ball is now bigger and opened up.

Take the ball and knead it out, either with a roller or by hand into the tray. I like to do mine by hand. Go turn on the oven to 400 degrees.

Next, place the tomatoes on the pizza and use a paper towel to soak up any remaining water.

Sprinkle a little olive oil on top, depending on how much you like olive oil.

Now place it in the oven and cook it for about 20 minutes until the edges are golden brown. You'll notice I haven't mentioned the mozzarella yet. DON'T put that on until the end or you will just burn it. Whether you are using shredded or not, put it on once the pizza is done (once you are sure the edges are crisp and golden - you can test with a knife) and leave it in there for a few minutes to melt. Serve hot. Sorry there is no picture of the whole pizza, my friends ate it soon as it came out of the oven. Read More..
