In the process of education throughout the world from until now, of course, applying a variety of learning models for the smooth learning process itself. Of course, there are many models of learning that we can learn, and then apply them in life, especially in learning and teaching activities.
In terms of education or teaching, this model is also referred to as a learning methodology. Which means the scope of knowledge that discusses the activities of an environment consisting of educators and students or students. This methodology is also well systemized so that the objectives to be achieved can be met.
However, the influence of customs and culture of an area also influences the selection of the right methodology in educating students. Therefore, it is important for teachers to pay attention to some details before choosing the right model or the right learning method for students. So, what factors must be considered in choosing a learning model?
Factors that must be considered before choosing a learning model.
- The teacher's ability to use the learning model
The teacher's ability will greatly affect the use of the learning model because each learning model has a different character and also requires different abilities. so that if a teacher is not able to use a certain method the teacher must choose a method that suits his abilities. However, if the teacher insists on using a learning model that is not mastered, it will be difficult for the audience to accept the material in delivering the material.
Facilities and infrastructure in the school
When we have the ability, but are not supported by adequate facilities, it will stagnate. Therefore, paying attention to the existing facilities in schools is also an important factor for teachers before choosing the learning model to be used. Facilities and infrastructure are all forms and the channels used to convey messages or information. Examples of learning facilities and infrastructure are: LCD, Electricity, OHP, or other simple learning media.Teaching objectives to be achieved
Before going further, of course we have a goal, now this goal also affects the choice of learning models. because each learning model has a different specialization in terms of achieving learning objectives. For example: the purpose of learning is to establish teamwork between students, the model used is Collaborative or Cooperative Learning.
In addition to the three factors I mentioned above, of course there are many other factors that we can consider before choosing the right model for the learning process.
The three factors I deliberately review first, because I consider them important and important. In addition to these three things, there are other factors such as understanding of the material, allocation of study time, and knowing the individual differences of students.
