the information. According to Rohani (2006:2) the media are all forms of
intermediaries used by people who spread ideas so that the concept or idea

reaches the recipient. In line with that, Blake and Horalsen (in Rohani,
2002:2) also expressed their opinion about the media. Media is media that
is used to carry/convey a message. This medium is a path or tool with a

message running between the communicator and the communicant.
According to Ely and Gerlach (in Rohani, 1997:2), the notion of

media has two parts: the narrow meaning and the broad meaning. In a
little sense, media is in the form of graphics, photos, and mechanical and
electronic devices used to capture, process, and convey information. In a

broad sense, activities can create conditions, thus enabling students to
acquire new knowledge, skills, and attitudes. From the explanation of the

definition of media put forward by these experts, it can be concluded that
the media are all forms of intermediaries used by the sender of messages,
ideas, or ideas so that the message, idea, or idea reaches the recipient of

the message clearly and thoroughly. Furthermore, the term learning is
closely related to learning and teaching. Teaching and learning occur
together. Learning can occur without a teacher or other formal education

and learning activities, while instruction includes everything the teacher
does in the classroom. There are many opinions about the meaning of
learning and learning. The difference is partly due to differences in theory

and the assumptions that underlie the approach. Budiningsih (2005:20-
107) describes six ideas about learning and learning, namely the theory of

behaviouristic, constructive, constructivist, humanistic, cybernetic, and
revolutionary-sociocultural.
According to the behaviouristic theory, learning is a behaviour

change resulting from the interaction between stimulus and response.
According to this view, the purpose of learning is emphasized on the

addition of knowledge, while learning as an activity "mimetic," which
requires students to re-express the ability that has been known in the form
of reports, quizzes, or tests (Budiningsih, 2005:20-38). According to
