Definition
of Learning Media from Some Experts
The
word media is a plural form of 'Medium', which literally means intermediary or
introduction. Some experts give definition of learning media.
· Schramm (1977) suggested that learning
media is a messenger technology that can be used for learning purposes.
Associated with learning, the media is interpreted as a communication tool used
in the learning process to bring information in the form of teaching materials
from teachers to students so that students become more interested in
participating in learning activities.
· Briggs (1977) defined learning media as
a physical means to convey content or learning materials.
· Gagne (1990) stated that learning media
as a type of component in the student environment that can stimulate them to
learn.
· According to Arief S. Sadiman (1986)
learning media is everything that can be used to transmit messages from the
sender to the recipient, so it can stimulates students' thoughts, feelings,
attention and interests so that the learning process occurs.
In my opinion, the
perspective of learning media from Schramm (1977) is the most relevant view to
the current condition because the process of teaching and learning is
essentially the process of communication, namely the process delivery of
messages from the message source, through certain channels or intermediaries,
to the recipient of the message. In the teaching and learning process the
message is in the form of teaching material delivered by teacher, while the
channel or intermediary is used to deliver messages or teaching materials is a
learning media or also called instructional media. Learning media using
information and communication tools has some functions in the teaching and
learning process such as:
1) clarifying the presentation of the message
2) overcoming
the limitations of space, time and sensory power,
3) eliminating
passivity on the subject of learning,
4) increasing
motivation in the subject of learning
Students
use communication tools to search, receive, and process information in their
learning. In addition, the use of media as a messenger is of course very
familiar to 21st century students. We know that communication tools
today have progressed very rapidly. Therefore, the media as a messenger is a
view that is relevant for learning that implements student centered learning.
2.
The
classification of the 21st Century Learning Media
It
is recognize that conventional media technologies can no longer meet the needs
of our teaching and learning process. They are now being replaced by multimedia
technology in the 21st century learning. This technology provides a
learning environment that is self-paced, learner-controlled and individualized.
Educational technology means applications that can solve educational problems. There are different ways to classify
media.
1. Print media, non-print media,
electronic media
· Print
media. They include: books, journals, magazines, newspapers, workbook,
textbooks
·
Non-print
media: they include: projected and non-projected media
·
Electronic
media: they include: Audio media, Visual media and Audio-Visual
2. Projected media & non-projected
media
·
Projected
media: they require light source for projection. E.g. film projector slides
etc.
·
Non-projected
media: they do not require light source. They include 3dimensional objects,
2dimensional objects, prints, charts, models etc.
3. Audio media, Visual media &
Audio-visual
· Audio
media: this form of media carry sounds alone. E.g. audio tapes,
record player,
· Visual
media: These are the ones that can be seen. E.g. TV, computer, white
board
· Audio-Visual:
this term refers to those instructional materials which provide students with
audio and visual experiences by appearing to the hearing and seeing senses at
the same time. E.g. TV, video tapes, closed circuit television
(CCTV).
4. Hardware and software
· Hardware:
this the classification of machines or equipment used in the instructional
process. It is upon these gadgets that the software is
transmitted. E.g. Computer, Smartphone, Television set, tape
recorder etc.
· Software:
this classification consists of all materials used with the machine. They are
the real carrier of knowledge or information. They include learning
applications from internet.
