a. Criteria for Selection of Learning Resources
There are several factors to consider in selecting,
developing, and using learning resources. The basis for selecting

learning resources is straightforward; that is, it can meet the needs
or achieve the desired goals or not. Learning resources that can be

used in the learning process are very diverse; no longer is the
teacher as the only learning resource in the classroom or textbooks
as well as student worksheets which are a source of student

learning, but many learning resources can be used by both teachers
and students in the teaching and learning process. So that in

education, students will be more able to become good learners, not
good listeners. With various learning resources that can be used by
students and teachers, it is hoped that learning will be more

meaningful for students.
Several things must be considered in the use of learning
resources as follows:

1) Economical, namely the costs available for media
procurement, whether you have to buy or make your own,
simple or complex, long term or short term.

2) It is practical and straightforward in the sense that it is easy to
reach, easy to implement, and easy to obtain.

3) Flexible (can be developed and modified in order to achieve
learning objectives.
4) Relevant to teaching objectives and other teaching

components.
5) Can help the efficiency and effectiveness of achieving teaching

goals.
6) Have positive values for both teachers and students in the
teaching process.
