On January 12, 2009, Verbena Online report of the Director General of Education, Ducat Aluminum Mood Doom said that the Ministry of Education would first study the effectiveness of the e-book program, which was launched In the state, before being extended In the country's education system.According to the report, the state of Triggering e-book pilot program that provides laptops to students to replace school kooks.
However, for the time being the use of a textbook manual Is still relevant because some schools experiencing problems including no electricity infrastructure and computing facilities. He is keen to capitalize on the rapid development of educational technologies to facilitate the teaching and learning process, including the use of digital textbooks.Through this technology, students no longer have to carry heavy bags loaded with a variety of textbooks and exercise books to school. I-pad for example, has taken over the role of textbooks and notebooks in several schools in Asia.
It is undeniable that technological progress Is very Instrumental in people's lives. Advances In technology with human-like life cannot be separated. With the advances in technology we are able to obtain a variety of Information available in parts of the world.Technological advances would cause such a big change on the lives of people In various fields and such great Impact on the cultural values of the society adopted, Technology has a wide range of countless varieties.
One of the most popular examples of technology in the era of globalization is a electronic gadget. Some people eve even often hearing the word "electronic gadget". But not many of them who understand what is meant by the instrument itself. A few years ago among the tools belonged only to smooth procuring employment. However, now owned by each tool was among.This is due to the diverse shapes of parts and very interesting as well as a variety of other functions to communicate as well as to share, create, and entertain with audio, video, photographs, writings, music and so on.
As one who lived in the era of globalization, we need to follow all developments that occur in particular in the field of technology as a tool. However, it should be noted that the facilities provided by the device not only created a positive effect but also pose a negative impact. Therefore, we should be careful in using this technology. .
2 Statement of the Problem 1. 2. 1 Issue-Based Teaching Traditional Having (1999) has classified that involves the use of traditional teaching methods textbooks and lectures alone. Station & Claus (2000) stated that the equipment in a traditional classroom is equipped with rows of tables and chairs along with a chalkboard in front of him, while according to Neo & Raff (2007), the traditional caching and learning is the 'chalk and talk' or methods of use transparency (POP), while the media used is a printed book as a textbook.
Many teachers are currently said to be creative to use appropriate methods to attract students to the school. This is according to a statement issued by Mood Ail Hosannas, President of the National Parent Collaboration (MAPI) in Star Online and Tutu's Online, (2004) that school teachers now are getting disappear creativity in the interests of students. Although times have changed, but also the information technology is advancing, but we can e that the majority of teachers in our country is still the status quo. They still act like a frog under a coconut shell.
Although there are a variety of teaching methods that can be implemented in the classroom, but they still tend to use the traditional method of using textbooks and blackboards in the process of teaching and learning (T ; L). It is acknowledged that many teachers are not creative in teaching methods and learning in the classroom. Therefore, they will take the easy way by using the blackboard and textbooks alone, without having to burden the mind in reach of useful activities and facilitate students to understand what they learn.In addition, there is the teachers who consider the textbook alone is sufficient in process R ; D and there is no initiative to refer to reference books or other media material, although has been recognized that waves the textbook itself has certain drawbacks.
Teachers seem to be taught to self-style shock without realizing that their students do not like to learn by simply using only a chalkboard. No one taught using a blackboard, but if only this method alone may be adopted by teachers room early years to the end of the year, the students will easily get bored in the classroom.Not Just teachers who are not creative, but with what's provided by the also had agreed by Muhammad Sober (2002), in which he says that teachers who teach with Just using textbooks as education, Just to prove that he is not creative to create an atmosphere of Joy and ultimately make them tired and student class- students do not get new ideas. As a result, students' minds are frozen and not creative.
When students are bored in class, so indirectly they are no longer interested to learn and concentrate on their teacher.Eng Yang (2004) study where he found that one of the reasons students are not interested in pursuing studies in the classroom is because the pattern and the pattern of their boring lessons. Many of the students who will be absent from class when they're not interested in learning the subject, because in their minds even in the class, they will not understand what the teacher teach them, the better they get away with skipping class way . This item was approved by Rookie Madam (2001) in which he found that the one of the reasons students skip class is because they do not understand what is taught by their teachers.Effects in the long run, if things are not resolved, then the student's academic performance will decline, as has been recognized by ABA Hosannas (2000) where his research found that teachers approach the biggest factor why student performance plummeted. In addition, the decrease in motivation to learn among students is also due to the homogeneous nature and form of teaching-way (teacher- student) in the majority of teachers.
According to Mood Effacer (2003), conducting by teachers learning to use only as a textbook lesson material can cause bland atmosphere and thus give rise to boredom among students.If this continues, then it ill bring negative effects to the students, then teachers need to realize that every student is different, the way of acceptance of students in the class are also very different. Not all students will understand and see if the teacher only using only the blackboard when teaching in the classroom. Wan Said (1993) argues that effective learning styles among students depends on the motivation and the means of teaching introduced by the teacher.When many of the techniques and methods mixed up, it can digest skilled students to discuss, expression, co-operation, and mastery learning through mentoring skilled teacher. Furthermore, teachers should use the latest teaching aids such as the use of computers, internet, and other software.
This is because the use of certified technology can improve the quality of teaching and student learning. Provided, teaching materials must be developed to accommodate so they relate to the learning objectives and benefit the students. Efforts should be consolidated in the change traditional teaching methods to process a student-centered teaching.Therefore teachers should use various teaching methods and then to adapt the teaching methods to students' interests and learning Tyler in order to provide a positive impact on their students. 1.
