LEARNING MODELS AND LEARNING MANAGEMENT MODELS

LEARNING MODELS AND LEARNING MANAGEMENT MODELs

A. MODEL OF LEARNING

Understanding Learning

Learning is a term that has a very close relationship and can not be separated from each other in the educational process. Learning should be an activity undertaken to create an atmosphere or provide services for students to learn.

For that, it must be understood how students gain knowledge from their learning activities. If teachers can understand the process of acquiring knowledge, then the teacher will be able to determine the appropriate learning strategy for their students. According to Sudjana (2000) in Sugihartono, et al (2007: 80) learning is any effort made deliberately by educators who can cause learners to do learning activities. While Nasution (2005) in Sugihartono, et al (2007: 80) defines learning as an activity to organize or manage the environment as well as possible and connect it with students so that the learning process occurs. The environment in this sense is not only the study room, but also includes teachers, props, libraries, laboratories, etc. that are relevant to student learning activities.

Meanwhile, according to Dimyati and Mudjiono in Syaiful Sagala (2006: 62) learning is a programmed teacher activity in intruksional design, to make students learn actively, which emphasizes on the provision of 10 sources of learning. Learning as a learning process built by teachers to develop thinking creativity that can improve students' thinking ability, and can improve the ability to construct new knowledge as an effort to improve good mastery of the subject matter.

Understanding Learning Model

Understanding Learning Model is a plan or a pattern used as a guide in planning learning in the classroom. The learning model refers to the learning approaches to be used, including the teaching objectives, the stages in the learning activities, the learning environment, and the management of the class (Arends in Trianto, 2010: 51). Meanwhile, according to Joyce & Weil (1971) in Mulyani Sumantri et al (1999: 42) the learning model is a conceptual framework that describes a systematic procedure in organizing learning experiences to achieve certain learning goals, and has a function as a guide for the designers of learning and teachers In planning and carrying out teaching and learning activities. Based on the above two opinions, it can be concluded that the learning model is a conceptual framework that describes systematic procedures in organizing learning experiences to achieve certain learning objectives and serves as a guide for learning designers and teachers in designing and implementing the teaching and learning process.

According to Trianto (2010: 53) the function of learning model is as a guide for teacher designers and teachers in implementing learning. To choose this model is strongly influenced by the nature of the material to be taught, and also influenced by the goals to be achieved in the teaching as well as the level of ability of learners. In addition, each learning model also has stages (syntax) that students can do with teacher guidance. Between syntax that one with another syntax also has a difference. These differences, among them the opening and closing of different learning between each other. Therefore, teachers need to master and be able to apply various teaching skills, in order to achieve the various learning objectives and learning environments that characterize schools today. According to Kardi and Nur in Trianto (2011: 142) the term learning model has a broader meaning than strategy, method, or procedure.

The learning model has four distinctive features not shared by strategy, method, or procedure. The specific characteristics of the learning model are:

1. The logical theoretical rationale prepared by the creators or developers. The learning model has a reasonable thinking theory. That is the creators or developers make the theory by considering the theory with the facts and not fictitious in creating and mengembangankannya.

2. The basis of thinking about what and how students learn (learning objectives to be achieved). The learning model has clear objectives on what to achieve, including what and how students learn well and how to solve a learning problem.

3. Teaching behavior required for the model to be successfully implemented. The learning model has the necessary teaching behavior so that what has been the goal of teaching so far can be successful in its implementation.

4. The learning environment necessary for the learning objectives to be achieved. Learning model has a conducive learning environment and comfortable, so that learning atmosphere can be one of the supporting aspects of what has been the goal of learning.

Finally, each learning model requires different management systems and learning environments. Each approach assigns different roles to the students, to the physical space, and to the classroom social system. The material nature of the nervous system many concepts and information from text books reading, student teaching materials, in addition to many observations of the images. Objectives to be achieved include cognitive aspects (products and processes) of reading comprehension activities and student activity sheets (Trianto, 2010: 55).

B. MODEL OF LEARNING MANAGEMENT

1. Understanding Management of Learning

Improving the quality of education will be achieved if the learning process organized effectively and useful to achieve the expected competence. Because basically the process of teaching and learning is the core of the overall education process, and teachers are one important factor in determining the success of the learning process. Therefore, educators and principals are especially required to enhance their roles and competencies, in organizing or managing learning by creating an effective, efficient and enjoyable learning environment so that learners' learning outcomes are at an optimal level.

In learning activities, an educator can play various role of learning manager as demonstrator, class manager, mediator and facilitator / mentor and as evaluator. As a professional, an educator is required to manage the class that is creating and maintaining optimal learning conditions for the achievement of teaching objectives.

Management of learning can be interpreted as an attempt to maintain classroom order, but understanding the management of this learning has experienced the development and interpreted the selection process and use the right tools to the problems and situations of learning management. Management of learning is an effort undertaken by the responsible teaching and learning activities with the intention to achieve optimal conditions so that the learning activities can be done as expected (Arikunto, 1986: 143).

The function of learning management is very basic because the activities of educators in managing learning include the activities of managing students' behavior in the classroom, creating an emotional and emotional climate managing the process of group activities, so that the success of educators in creating conditions that enable the learning process to take place effectively.

According to various learning sources the goals of learning management are as follows:

1) Realizing classroom situation and condition, both as learning environment and as study group that enable learners to develop ability as much as possible.

2) Eliminating various obstacles that can hinder the realization of learning and teaching interaction.

3) Provide and organize facilities and learning furniture that support and enable learners to learn in accordance with the social, emotional, and intellectual environment of learners in the classroom.

4) Fostering and guiding in accordance with their social, economic, cultural and individual backgrounds.

5) Creating a social atmosphere that provides satisfaction, atmosphere of discipline, intellectual development, emotional, and attitude and appreciation in learners.

6) Facilitating every child in the classroom can work in an orderly manner so that the goal of teaching is achieved effectively and efficiently

2. Principles of Management of learning

In general, factors affecting the management of learning are divided into two groups, namely, internal factors and external factors of learners. The internal factors of the learner relate to emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. The personality of the learners with their own characteristics makes each student different from the other students individually. Individual differences are seen in terms of aspects of biological, intellectual, and psychological differences.

External factors of learners related to the atmosphere of learning environment, placement of learners, grouping of learners, the number of students, and so forth. The problem of the number of learners in the class will color the class dynamics. The more number of learners in the class, for example twenty people upwards will tend to be easier to conflict. Conversely, the fewer the number of students in the classroom tend to be smaller conflict occurs.

In order to minimize the problem of disruption in the management of learning can be used principles of learning management as follows.

Warm and Enthusiastic is needed in teaching and learning process. Warm and familiar educators in their students always show enthusiasm for their work or on their activities will succeed in implementing learning management.

The use of polite, wise, friendly, and courteous words, actions, work or materials will increase the learner's passion for learning, thereby reducing the likelihood of the appearance of distorted behavior.

Varied. The use of tools or media, teaching style educators, patterns of interaction between educators and students will reduce the emergence of disorders, increasing the attention of learners. This variation is key to achieving effective learning management and avoiding burnout.

Flexibility. The flexibility of educators' behavior to alter their teaching strategies can prevent the possibility of learning disorders and create an effective learning climate. Teaching flexibility can prevent the occurrence of disorders such as student clamor, no attention, no tasks and so on.

Emphasis on Positive Things Basically in teaching and educating, educators should emphasize positive things and avoid focusing on the negative. The emphasis on positive things is the emphasis that educators make on the positive behavior of learners rather than nagging negative behaviors. The emphasis can be made by providing positive reinforcement and educator awareness to avoid errors that can disrupt the process of teaching and learning.

Planting Self-Discipline. The ultimate goal of learning management is that students can develop self-dislipin and their own educators should be examples of self-control and execution of responsibilities. So, educators should be disciplined in everything if they want their students to be disciplined in everything.

3. Model Of Learning Management

There are various models of learning management or classroom management. The developed learning models are based on certain theoretical arguments. Between one model and another there are different approaches, strategies, methods, tactics and as, but keep in mind that all learning management models aim the same ie make the learning process run effectively and encourage the learning process. Some of the learning management models we often hear such as classical learning, individual learning, thematic learning, integrated learning, contextual learning, meaningful learning and so on.

The focus of attention that is used as the basis for the preparation and selection of learner models is very useful, for example on the basis of groups of learners so that it is known for classical learning and individual learning. The model of learning management is based more on the theme of learning so that in the theme learners can learn various teaching related subjects so that we know the thematic model of learning. Learning model that emphasizes the timing of the learning block system. There is also a model of learning that is based more on how the learners learn activities so that the model of learning PAKEM model with all the variations.

Various learning models that have been developed so far each have certain requirements so that the learning process that occurs effective, and each has advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, the choice of learning model that is used depends on the considerations and decisions of educators.

Educator as a learning manager is a person who has a strategic role that is people who plan activities that will be done in the classroom, people who will implement the planned activities with the subject and object learners, people determine and take decisions with strategies to be used with various Activities in the classroom, and educators will also determine alternative solutions to overcome obstacles and challenges that arise; Then with the three approaches proposed, will greatly assist educators in carrying out their job duties.

Educators in doing teaching tasks in a class, need to plan and determine what learning management needs to be done with regard to the condition of learning ability of learners as well as subject matter that will be taught in the classroom, available infrastructure, and social culture of learners. Develop strategies to anticipate if obstacles and challenges arise so that the teaching and learning process can still run and the objectives of learning that have been determined can be achieved.

Management of learning will be simple to do if the educator has high work motivation, and the educator knows that situational leadership style will be very beneficial for the educator in doing the teaching task. Thus the management of learning can not be separated from the motivation of educator work, because with the motivation of this educator work will be seen how far the motivator and motivation of educators to perform the management of learning, while with the appropriate leadership style of educator used in learning management will optimize and maximize the success of learning management .

Learning management is the process of managing and controlling the classroom environment. To ensure that between educators and learners can interact effectively and productively, without interruption or disruptive behavior, they use certain techniques. Learning management indicators are used to measure teachers' success in managing their learning and activities.

One indicator of successful instructional management is ensuring that learners are active and busy, even when educators are busy or trapped in other tasks or activities. For example, from time to time, educators may need to consult with other educators or administrators about class matters, or they may have to help learners individually with issues or issues. When this happens, the remaining classes for the device itself, if not managed properly, this can cause problems for educators or other learners. Providing classes with courses or assignments during this period is an indicator of classroom management success. The stored classes are occupied even when the teacher's full attention is not available is an indicator that the classroom teacher has succeeded successfully.

Another indicator of learning management is the ability to prepare a backup learning plan. At the time the prepared lesson plan did not work. When this happens, the ability of educators to provide learners with a backup lesson plan and activity is an indicator of the quality of learning management, as it reinforces the learner's notion that the classroom is a learning environment. If learners are left without a clear focus on the tasks and instructions they have prepared, they are not interested and will likely abandon learning activities.

Model of Classical Learning Management

Classical teaching is the usual model of learning management we see everyday. The term classical can be interpreted as a classic that states that conditions that have long occurred, can also be interpreted as a class. So classical learning means conventional learning is commonly done in the class so far, ie learning that views learners are not different or the same so that they get the lessons together, the same way in one class at a time. Classical learning does not mean bad, depending on the process of the activities undertaken, ie whether all learners participate actively involved in learning, or passively uninvolved, or simply hear and record whether learning effectively achieves the learning objectives, whether learning is fun for educators and learners .

In this learning management model, educators teach a number of learners, usually between 30-40 learners in a classroom. Under these conditions, the learning conditions of individual learners both concerning the future learning, learning difficulties and interest in learning less attention by educators. In general, the way of educators in determining the speed of presenting learning materials and the level of difficulty of learning materials bergantun on information ability of learners in general. The site educator is very dominant in determining all learning activities. The number of materials to be taught, the sequence of subject matter, the speed of teaching educators and others is entirely in the hands of educators.

Conventional classical learning models usually require high discipline of learners, and educators have full authority in the classroom. Classical learning tends to be used by educators if in the learning process more forms of material presentation from educators. Presentation is more emphasis to explain something material that is not yet known or understood learners. The methods used tend to lecture and question and answer methods vary.

Classical learning will make it easier for educators to organize the subject matter, because in classical lessons the lesson material will generally be uniformly absorbed by the learners. Classical learning can be used if the subject matter is more informative or factual. The process of classical learning can shape the ability of learners in listening or listening, shaping the ability to listen and the ability to ask questions.

The implementation of school education in this country is more likely to be classical, the form of classical teaching succeeds in putting the educator as the dominant factor and becomes very important / important for learners because educators often become self-identification figures. Therefore, it is very wise if an educator has the ing ing behavior ngarso sung tulodo, ing madya mangun karsa and tut wuri handayani and has enough talent to develop the potential learners intact. Educators are required to be able to work regularly, consistently, and creatively in dealing with problems related to their duties, especially the ability to implement teaching and learning program that is the ability to create teaching and learning interaction in accordance with predetermined situations and conditions and programs. An education in the classical learning has weaknesses, such as learning does not pay attention to the experience of learners, learners become passive recipients, as well as abstract and theoretical learning. Classical learning can be minimized if supported by relevant and contextual lesson textbooks as well as the use of learning resources that meet the needs of learners and are easily accessible to learners.

Individual Learning Management Model

Individual learning is a learning activity that accommodates individual differences in the organizing of learning that emphasizes the assistance and guidance of learning to individual classes in particular.

In general, differences in individual and classical learning are:

1) Attention and motivation, attention has a role in learning activities.

2) Activity according to child psychology is an active being

3) Direct involvement / learning experience must be done alone by learners, learning is experiencing themselves and can not be delegated to others.

4) Individual differences in learners are unique individual creatures in which each has a distinct distinction.

Understanding individual learning or Individual Instruction is a strategy to organize teaching and learning activities in such a way that each learner receives more attention than can be provided in the context of managing teaching and learning activities within a large group of learners.

Individual learning is a way of arranging learning programs in each subject, arranged in a certain way provided for each learner in order to spur the pace of learning under the guidance of the teacher.

Individual learning is a learner's teaching activity that emphasizes the help and guidance of learning to each individual. Student assistance and guidance are also found in classical learning, but the principles are different. In individual learning, the learner gives assistance to each individual. Prominent features in individual learning can be viewed in terms of: learning objectives, learners as learning subjects, educators as facilitators, learning programs, orientation and the main emphasis in the implementation of learning.

Individual Learning Objectives that stand out is the provision of opportunities and flexibility of learners to learn based on their own ability. The development of individual abilities optimally, each individual has their own individual learning package, which suits their individual learning goals as well. Position Learners in Individual learning: Position learners are central Learning flexibility based on their own ability Freedom to use study time. Discretion in controlling activities etc.

Thematic Learning Management Model

The management of thematic learning emphasizes the theme as the basis for designing learning activities. Based on a particular theme learners can follow the activities of classical or individual learning. Thematic learning in general is often used in the learning of learners who are in the early grades of primary school are in the early age range. Learners who are in primary school grade one, two, and three are in the range of early age. At that age all aspects of the development of intelligence grow and develop very extraordinary. In general they still see everything as a whole (think holistic) and understand the relationship between concepts in a simple way. The learning process is still dependent on concrete objects and experiences experienced directly. These conditions form the basis for the development of appropriate learning patterns and strategies, not only for learning objectives to be achieved, but also for the purpose of the educational program to be fulfilled, namely to lay the foundation of intelligence, knowledge, personality, noble character, and skills to Live independently and follow further education. Thematic learning that involves a variety of subjects to provide meaningful experiences to learners is an innovative model of learning that can be a solution to the separate learning that has been used in early grades of elementary school.

One of the important dimensions of thematic learning is the learning strategy. Establishing appropriate and optimal learning strategies will encourage initiative and facilitate learners' learning. The starting point of this effort is put on process improvement. Therefore, careful investigation of thematic learning strategies becomes important and urgent amid the confusion many schools find the whole shape of thematic learning strategies, especially through empirical studies.

Currently, the implementation of learning activities, especially in elementary classes I - III for each subject is done separately, for example IPA 2 hours lesson, IPS 2 hours lesson, and Bahasa Indonesia 2 hours lesson. In the execution of its activities carried out purely subjects that is only studying material related to the subject. In accordance with the stage of development of children who still see everything as a whole (holistic thinking), learning that presents the subjects separately will lead to less developing children for holistic thinking and making it difficult for learners

In accordance with the characteristic stages of child development, the characteristics of how children learn, the concept of learning and meaningful learning, then the learning activities for elementary school students should be done with thematic learning. Thematic renewal is a blended lesson that uses themes to link some subjects so as to provide meaningful learning experiences to learners.

Theme thematic characteristics include:

A) Child-centered

B) Provide direct experience to the child

C) The separation between subject areas / subjects is not clear

D) Present the concept of various subject areas / subjects in a learning process

E) is flexible

F) Learning outcomes can develop in accordance with the interests and needs of children

G) Using thematic learning is expected to provide many advantages, including:

H) Learners easily focus on a particular theme;

I) Learners are able to learn knowledge and develop various basic competencies between subjects in the same theme;

J) Understanding of subject matter more deeply and memorable;

K) Basic competencies can be better developed by linking other subjects with the learners' personal experiences;

L) Learners are able to better experience the benefits and meaning of learning because the material is presented in the context of a clear theme;

M) Learners are more passionate about learning because they can communicate in real situations, to develop a capability in one subject while learning other lessons;

N) Teachers can save time because some subjects presented thematically can be prepared at once and given in two or three meetings, the remaining time can be used for remedial, stabilization, or enrichment activities.

In the implementation of thematic learning, it is necessary to do some things that include planning phases that include basic competence mapping activities, theme network development, syllabus development and preparation of learning implementation plan.

Basic Competence Mapping. This mapping exercise is conducted to obtain a comprehensive and complete picture of all competency standards, basic competencies and indicators of the various subjects combined in the selected theme. Activities undertaken in competency mapping include performing the elaboration of competency standards and basic competencies from each subject into indicators appropriate to the characteristics of learners, in accordance with the characteristics of the subjects, measurable and / or observable

In determining the theme that will be used in thematic learning can be done with the first first, study the competence standards and basic competencies contained in each subject, followed by determining the appropriate theme. Or secondly, establishing the first theme of binding of cohesiveness, in order to determine the theme, the teacher can cooperate with the learner so as to match the interests and needs of the child.

In setting the theme it is necessary to pay attention to the environment closest to the learner, the degree of difficulty of the subject matter and preferably sorted from the easiest to the difficult, from the simple to the complex, from the concrete to the abstract. The chosen theme should allow the process of thinking In the learners themselves and the scope of the theme adapted to the age and development of learners, including their interests, needs, and abilities.

Setting theme network. Once the theme is found then proceed with the creation of the theme network. The theme network is linking basic competencies and indicators with a unifying theme. With the theme network will show a link between the theme, basic competence and indicators of each subject. This theme network can be developed according to the time allocation of each theme

Thematic learning has its advantages: fun because it departs from the interests and needs of learners; Provide experience and teaching-learning activities relevant to the level of development and needs of learners; Learning outcomes can last long because they are more memorable and meaningful; Develop the thinking skills of the participants in accordance with the problems faced; Fostering social skills through cooperation; Have an attitude of tolerance, communication and responsiveness to the ideas of others; M Present activities that are real in accordance with the problems faced in the environment of learners. In addition, thematic learning also has several weaknesses. The weakness of thematic learning occurs when done by a single teacher. For example, a class teacher lacks an in-depth understanding of the theme so that in thematic learning it will be difficult to associate the theme with the subject matter of each subject. In addition, if the learning scenario does not use innovative methods then the achievement of Competency standards and basic competencies will not be achieved because it will be a dry, meaningless narrative.

Selection of Learning Management Model

Each learning-learning model has certain requirements to be implemented successfully to assist learners in achieving learning goals or mastering the competencies being taught. The age of learners becomes one of the basic considerations in the selection of learning management models. Young learners, especially those in first grade, two, and three primary schools are in the early age range. At that age all aspects of the development of intelligence grow and develop very extraordinary. In general the level of development still sees everything as a whole (holistic) and able to understand the relationship between concepts in a simple way. The learning process is still dependent on concrete objects and experiences experienced directly.

Each child has its own way of interpreting and adapting to its environment (cognitive developmental theory). According to him, every child has a cognitive structure called schemata that is a concept system that exists in the mind as a result of understanding of the objects that exist in the environment. An understanding of the object. Primary school-aged children are in concrete, integrative and hierarchical stages of operation. Concrete implies the process of learning moving from concrete things that can be seen, heard, smelled, touched, and tinkered with, with emphasis on the use of the environment as a source of learning. Integrative, at the elementary school age children see something studied as a whole, they have not been able to sort out the concepts of various disciplines, this illustrates the deductive way of thinking of the child from general to part by part. Hierarchical, at the elementary school age stage, the way children learn gradually develops from simple things to more complex things. In connection with this, it should be noted about the logical sequence, the interrelationship between the material, and the scope of breadth and depth of material
