tools. Books, resource persons, places, and all things increase children's

knowledge.
Another function of learning resources is improving children's
language development. The trick is to talk and communicate with

resource persons who can develop children's views on various aspects of
life. Thus, children not only get information from the teacher but also

from other speakers who are presented in class.
Learning resources are designed to have specific instructional
goals. Therefore, the purpose and function of learning resources are also

influenced by each type of variation of learning resources used.
In addition, learning resources also have the following functions:
1. Increasing learning productivity by accelerating the pace of

learning, helping teachers use time better, and reducing the burden
on teachers in presenting information so that they can foster and
develop a passion.

2. Providing the possibility of more individual learning by reducing
rigid and traditional teacher control and providing opportunities for

students to develop according to their abilities.
3. Provide a more scientific basis for learning by designing a more
systematic learning program and developing research-based

teaching materials.
4. Strengthen learning by increasing the ability of learning resources

to present information and materials more concretely.
5. Enables instantaneous learning, which reduces the gap between
verbal and abstract learning with concrete realities providing direct

knowledge.
6. Enables a broader learning presentation by presenting information
that can penetrate geographical boundaries.

7. Provide opportunities to gain knowledge and enrich children by
using various tools, books, resource persons, and all things that
increase children's knowledge.
