Understanding teaching method
The method according to Djamaluddin and Abdullah Aly in Kapita
Selekta Islamic Education, (1999: 114) comes from the meta word means through,
and hodos road. So the method is the
path that must be passed to achieve a goal. Meanwhile, according to the Ministry of Religious Affairs in the
book Islamic Religious Education Methodology (2001: 19) Method means the work
system that bersistem to facilitate the implementation of an activity in order
to achieve the goals specified. According to WJS. Poerwadarminta in Big Indonesian Dictionary,
(1999: 767) Method is a way that has been regular and well thought to achieve a
purpose. Based on the above
definition, the authors can take the conclusion that the method is the way or
the way someone to follow to achieve the expected goals.
Teaching is a very complex undertaking, making it difficult to
determine how to actually teach good. Method is one of the tools to achieve the goal. While learning is an activity undertaken by
the teacher in such a way that the behavior of students changed to a better
direction (Darsono, 2000: 24). According to Ahmadi
(1997: 52) method of learning is a knowledge of the ways of teaching used by
teachers or instructors. Another understanding says that the method of learning is a presentation
technique that is mastered by teachers to teach or present learning materials
to students in the classroom, either individually or in groups so that the
lesson can be absorbed.
As for the intended learning According to Gagne, Briggs, and
wagner in Udin S. Winataputra (2008) is a series of activities designed to
enable the learning process in students. Meanwhile, according to Law No. 20 of 2003 on Sisdiknas, learning is the
process of interaction of learners with educators and learning resources in a
learning environment.
So learning is a process of interaction of learners with
educators and learning resources in a learning environment. Learning is an aid provided by educators in
order to occur the process of acquisition of knowledge and knowledge. So it can be said Learning theory is an
attempt to describe how humans learn, thus helping us all understand the
complex inhern process of learning.
KINDS OF TEACHING METHOD (2) |
Based on the above description can be concluded that the
intended learning method is the way or path taken by the teacher to deliver
learning materials so that learning objectives can be achieved. Can also be concluded that the learning method
is a learning strategy used by the teacher as a medium to achieve the learning
objectives that have been set. This encourages a
teacher to find the right method in the delivery of the material in order to be
well absorbed by the students. Teaching effectively
depends heavily on the selection and use of teaching methods.
Different Methods of Learning
Teaching Method of many kinds and types, each type of learning
method has its own weaknesses and advantages, not using one kind of method
alone, combining the use of several methods that are still widely used in
teaching and learning process. According to Nana
Sudjana (in the book Basics of Teaching and Learning Process, 1989: 78-86),
there are various methods in learning, namely Lecture method, Question Answer
Method, Discussion Method, Recitation Method, Group Work Method, Demonstration
Method and Experiment , Method of sociodrama (role-playing), problem solving
method, team method, drill, field-trip, community survey, and simulation
method. For more details, the
authors describe several types of Teaching Method as follows:
Lecture method
The lecture method is an oral narrative. This method is not always bad when its use is
properly prepared, supported by tools and media, and taking into account the
limits of its possible use. According to Ibrahim,
(2003: 106) lecture method is a way of teaching used to convey information or
information or description of a subject matter and oral problem
Lecture method |
This method is often used by teachers to convey lessons when
faced with a considerable number of students, but it should be noted that this
method will work well if supported by other methods, such as question and
answer method, practice and others. Teachers should be really prepared in this case, because if
delivered only lectures from the beginning of the lesson to completion,
students will be bored and less interested in following the lesson, even
students can not understand what is being discussed by the teacher.

communication that is ywo way traffic, because at the same time there is a dialogue
between teachers and students. The teacher asks the students to answer or the
students ask the teacher to answer. In this communication seen a direct mutual relationship between
teacher and student.
Question and answer method |

Discussion methods |
Thus, the Discussion Method is
a method of sharing information, opinion and experience elements regularly in
order to gain a clearer, clearer and more thorough understanding of something
or to prepare and finalize a common decision. Therefore the discussion is not a debate, because debate is a
war of people argue argument, compete and the ability of persuasion to win
their own understanding. In the discussion each
person is expected to contribute so that the whole group returns with a shared
understanding.

Experimental method , this method is not
just a teaching method but also a method of thinking, because in Experiments
can use other methods starting from pulling data to draw conclusions.
Experimental Method |
The experimental method is a way of presenting a lesson, in
which students experiment with experiencing and proving themselves something
learned (Djamarah, 2002: 95).

Metode karyawisata (Field-trip), karyawisata di sini berarti
kunjungan di luar kelas. Jadi karyawisata di atas tidak mengambil tempat yang
jauh dari sekolah dan tidak memerlukan waktu yang lama. Karyawisata dalam waktu
yang lama dan tempat yang jauh disebut study tour.
Travel Methods |
Through this method the students are invited to visit certain
places outside the school. Places to be visited
and things that need to be observed have been planned in advance, and after the
activities of the students are required to make a report.
A. The advantages of the
field trip method

Difficulty organizing a lot of students.
Team Teaching Methods
Team teaching method, is a method of teaching two or more
teachers working together to teach a group of students, so the class faced by
several teachers.The team system of many kinds, because for a team is not
always a formal teacher, but can involve outsiders who are deemed necessary in
accordance with the skills we need.
Sociodrama Method
Methods used to teach values and solve problems encountered in social
relationships with people in the family, school and community. In the
execution of the students are given a certain role and perform the role and
discuss it in class.(Ibrahim, 2003: 107). In the execution of

Simulation Method
The simulation method, the simulation comes from the word
simulate which means to pretend or act as if. The word simulation means mock or pretense.Thus, the simulation
in the teaching method is referred to as a way to explain something (learning
material) through the process of imitation behavior or role play about a
behavior that is done as if in real circumstances.
Simulation Method |
a) Excess Simulation
Method
There are several advantages by using simulation as teaching
method, such as:
1. Simulation can be used as a stock for students
in the face of the actual situation later; Both in family life, society,
and face the world of work.
2. Simulation
can develop student's krwativity, because through simulation students are given
the opportunity to play a role according to the simulated topic.
3. Simulations
can foster students' courage and confidence.
4. Enrich
the knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to deal with problematic social
situations.
5. Simulation
can increase students' passion in learning process.
b) Weakness of Simulation
Method
Besides having advantages, the simulation also has weaknesses,
including:
1. Experience gained through simulation is not
always appropriate and in line with reality in the field.
2.
Unfavorable management. Often simulation
serve as a means of entertainment, so that the learning objectives become
neglected.
3. Psychological
factors such as shame and fear often affect students in simulation.
Factors Affecting Teaching Method
In carrying out a learning must begin with learning planning
activities. Planning has an
important function to make learning more focused. In making learning plans, many aspects must be considered by the
teacher. Therefore, for the
implementation of learning can run well and can achieve the expected goals,
then in preparing learning design need to consider the factors that influence
the selection of Teaching Method. In the process of teaching and learning teachers should always
look for new ways to adjust their teaching to the situation at hand.The methods
used should vary to avoid saturation in students. However, this varied method will not be profitable if it does
not fit the situation.
The following are the factors that influence the selection of Teaching
Method, among others:
a. Students or
learners
Selection of a learning method, must adjust the level of student
education.Considerations that emphasize the difference in education level is on
the ability of learners, whether it is able to think abstract or not. The application of a simple and complex method
is certainly very different, and both are related to the level of ability to
think and behave learners at every level
In the classroom the teacher will deal with a number of children
with different life backgrounds. Their social status also varies. Likewise with gender and posture.In short from the physical
aspect there is always a difference and equality in each student. While from the intellectual point of view,
there is a difference that is shown from the fast and slow response of the students
to the stimuli given in teaching and learning activities. Psychological aspects also there are
differences that the students are quiet, open, and others.
b. Learning objectives to
be achieved
Each implementation of learning certainly has a learning
objective to be achieved. Implementation of
learning aims to learners as learners will gain learning experience and show
behavior change, where the changes are positive and long lasting. The sentence can be interpreted that a
successful learning is a learning that will not only increase the knowledge of
learners but also affect the attitude and way of view of learners to the
reality of life.
Learning objectives are the intended goals of each teaching and
learning activity. This may affect the
selection of methods to be used. The method chosen by the teacher should be in accordance with
the level of ability to be filled into each of the students. So the method should be tailored to the
learning objectives.
c. Learning material
factor
The subject matter has different depth, breadth, complexity. Learning materials with high difficulty level
usually require analysis steps in various level. The analysis can be on a superficial, moderate, or in-depth
analysis. Selection of
appropriate Teaching Method can provide practical direction to overcome the
difficulty level of a learning material.
d. Situation of teaching
and learning
Teaching-learning situations created by teachers are not always
the same. So the teacher must
choose a teaching method that is appropriate to the created situation. At other times, according to the nature of the
material and the ability to be achieved by the goal, the teacher creates a
learning environment in groups.So the created situation affects the selection
and determination of teaching methods.
e. Teaching and learning
facilities
Learning facilities serve to facilitate the learning process and
meet the needs of the learning process. For schools that already have complete learning facilities, the
availability of learning facilities is no longer an obstacle. However, not all schools have learning
facilities with the expected standards. These circumstances should not be a barrier for teachers in
designing learning that can still reach the learning objectives. In certain circumstances, teachers who have a
strong spirit and commitment still able to organize learning interesting, fun,
and able to achieve the expected learning objectives.
Facilities are the things that affect the selection and
determination of teaching methods. Facility is the completeness that support children's learning in
school.Complete study facilities will influence the choice of teaching
methods.
f. Factors allocation of
learning time.
Selection of appropriate Teaching Method should also take into
account the availability of time. A good study plan is the use of time allocations that are
calculated in detail, so that learning runs dynamically, no time is wasted without
meaning. The opening, core, and
closing activities are arranged systematically.In the core activities that
include the exploration - elaboration - confirmation stage, taking part of the
time with the largest portion compared to the opening and closing activities.
g. Teacher.
The teacher education background is recognized to affect
competence. Lack of mastery of
various types of methods becomes an obstacle in choosing and determining
methods. Moreover, do not have
adequate teaching experience.But there are also appropriate choosing it but in
its implementation encountered obstacles due to personality labilnya and
shallow mastery over the methods used.
Selection Criteria of Learning Method
Criteria for selection of Teaching Method are:
1. The character (character) of the teacher.
2. Level of intellectual and social development of children.
3. School facilities available.
4. Master's Ability Level.
5. The nature and purpose of the subject matter.
6. Learning time.
7. The classroom atmosphere.
8. Context of learning destination domain.
Meanwhile, according to Slameto (2003: 98) selection criteria of
Teaching Method are:
a. The purpose of teaching, the behavior expected
to be shown students after the teaching and learning process.
b. Teaching materials, ie materials presented in
teaching in the form of facts that require different methods of methods used to
teach materials in the form of concepts, procedures or rules.
c. Large class (number of classes), ie the number
of students who take classes in the class in question. Classes with 5-10 students require different
teaching methods than the class with 50-100 students.
d. The ability of students, namely the ability of
students to capture and develop teaching materials that are taught. This depends a lot on the level of maturity
students both mental, physical and intellectual.
e. The ability of teachers, namely the ability to
use various types of optimal teaching methods.
f. Available facilities, materials or tools and
other facilities can be used to improve teaching effectiveness.
g. The time available, the amount of time planned
or allocated to present the prescribed teaching materials. For a lot of material to be presented in a
short time requires a different method with relatively little presentation
material but relatively large presentation time.
Ahmadi (1997: 53) suggested the conditions that must be
considered in the use of teaching methods are:
1.
Teaching methods should be able to generate student's motives, interests or
passions.
2.
Teaching methods should ensure the development of student personality
activities.
3.
Teaching methods should be able to provide opportunities for students to
realize the work.
4.
Teaching methods should be able to stimulate students' desire to learn more,
explore and innovate (renewal).
5.
Teaching methods should be able to educate students in their own learning
techniques and how to gain knowledge through personal effort.
6.
Teaching methods should be able to eliminate the presentation of a verbal
character and replace it with experience or real situation and aim.
7.
Teaching methods should be able to instill and develop the desired values and
attitudes in the habit of working well in everyday life.
Teachers as one source of learning are obliged to provide a
creative learning environment for the learning activities of students in the
classroom. One of the activities
that must be done is to determine and select the method. A method used by teachers to teach must be
completely mastered. So that at the time of
its use can create an atmosphere of educational interaction.
To avoid the saturation and cessation of students' interest in the
lesson, teachers should use various methods Even the methods used can foster students'
desire to learn independently using their own techniques. In the classroom teachers deliver lesson
materials. The lesson material
will give less impetus to the students to learn more when the delivery uses a
less precise strategy. The selected methods
are used on the basis of their benefits, so a teacher is said to be competent
if he has a rich way of delivering the gift and has the criteria that will be
used to select ways of presenting the teaching and learning experience. In the process of learning to teach also
needed tools used to eliminate verbalitas. So that students more quickly absorb the material that has been
delivered.
Teaching methods applied by teachers should be able to realize
the work of students. Students are led to be
able to think critically and creatively by giving the students an opportunity
to convey their ideas. Selection of
inappropriate methods with the nature of materials and learning objectives
cause the class less passionate and less creative student conditions. So with the application of appropriate methods
with a variety of indicators can increase student interest in the lesson
material delivered and great interest will ultimately affect the achievement
that will be achieved.
