Learning in school 1
" i have said the next 4 learning methods :
Methods of Group Discussion
Group discussion method is a method that allows interaction and exchange of opinions, experiences, and information. This learning method is interesting because it can encourage students to interact and help each other understand the different opinions that may arise during the activity. In addition to understanding the lessons, a smart teacher can also train students how to appreciate the opinions of others through this method of group discussion.
Role Playing Method
This method is one kind of learning method designed to solve problems by having students perform a specific role. Smart teachers can provide topics or cases to students. For example, the smart teacher gave the case of the village bridge collapsed due to heavy rain. Students are then shared their roles. Some become RT sir, residents, and others. From role-playing activities, students who are playing a role and also who are observing can make an analysis of whether each role has worked well or not. They can also deduce how to overcome the problem from observing the roles their friends play.
Project Task Method
The project task method is a very challenging learning method. Students must do research, experiment, and often have to jump directly into the field to make observations. This method requires students to produce a particular product within a predetermined time. Students can undertake project tasks individually as well as in groups. These activities train students to think critically and creatively.
The Kunjung Karya Method
The learning method of going to work or visiting this work is usually done after the project task learning method is done. This type of learning method makes students to see each other's work. They can observe and also learn to ask questions. In addition, smart teachers can encourage students to provide constructive comments and suggestions. While students whose work is visited or seen can learn to answer questions, respond to comments and suggestions productively.
In learning There are several other methods that have been developed by experts. Some of them are:
Discourse method
The lecture method is the most commonly used learning method, where teachers give material to learners orally. Because it does not use media, this learning method is practical and economical. Even so, teachers need to think about the delivery of material can be well received by students, because the use of lecture methods continuously can cause boredom and feared students can not receive learning to the maximum.
Experimental method
Experimental method is a learning activity by involving learners to try or practice the learning material that is being delivered. Practicum activities are generally carried out in the laboratory, so that every experiment carried out can run safely. Usually applied to subjects related to science (natural sciences).
Debate method
Debate method is a method of learning that is often used in social subjects or humanities (literature). Debate or argument is conducted between two or more groups, either individually or in groups, to express an opinion on the attitude taken by the group. Usually, the group is divided into pros and contracts on a problem. The goal, learners are expected to improve the ability to talk (public speaking) and express opinions.

Online learning methods
Online or online learning methods using computers are a solution when learning activities cannot run normally as in the current pandemic situation. To be able to run well, internet access as a learning medium must be in optimal circumstances. Learning is usually equipped with the provision of learning modules, video recordings, and audio recordings.
Blended learning method
Blended learning is a method that combines two learning models, conventional face-to-face learning with online learning based on computer and internet technology. Using this method, teachers can interact directly with students through video conferences, even though there is a distance between them.
There are several things to consider when choosing a learning method.
1. Understand the material you want to explain
By knowing the material conveyed in depth, the teacher can know the type of learning method that is considered most appropriate to explain the material. To increase creativity, also learn the learning methods used by others for similar material.
2. Determine the learning goals
Knowing the learning objectives is the main thing to be able to know the right learning methods. Is the purpose of learning only limited so that students can master certain materials? Or there are other goals such as the mastery of certain soft skills that are expected to emerge through teaching and learning activities.
3. Understand student characteristics
Knowing the characteristics of students is one of the responsibilities of every educator. Knowing their advantages and disadvantages can help determine the approach to take while teaching. Some information is also needed such as knowing the interests and talents of students, dominant intelligence, appropriate learning styles, or how motivated students learn.
The good news, Quipper Campus has Potential Test Tests that can be done online. Through the results of the test, teachers can get preliminary information about the characteristics of their students.
4. Choose an alternative learning method that suits the material and dominant characteristics
Each student has different characteristics. If you know the dominant characteristics that exist, at least the teacher can apply the learning methods that are expected to be accepted by more students. Even so, the teacher still should not ignore other students, so it is still necessary to think about alternative learning methods to be able to accommodate the needs of all students.
5. In one meeting, apply several learning methods
Referring to the previous point, it could be in one teaching and learning activity, teachers can directly combine several learning methods at once. For example, after giving a general overview of a material (the lecture method), then giving a demonstration (the demonstration method), and students are asked to experiment independently at home (the experimental method).
6. Watch the student response
When providing teaching, teachers are required to be sensitive to student responses. Note, whether students can follow the learning well or vice versa. The students' disregard for the teacher's explanation is an early reflection that the delivery of the material is not able to attract their attention. Therefore, try to apply a different type of learning method than before.
7. Make an evaluation
To find out whether the learning goal has been achieved or not, the teacher needs to provide an evaluation or assessment. From here it will be known whether teaching and learning activities have been effective or not.
Thus an overview of understanding, types, and tips on choosing the right learning method. If the teacher has understood these things and applied them well, then the atmosphere that is built in the classroom will be fun and the material can be delivered effectively.
Generally, teachers teach because they enjoy teaching. One of the keys to effective learning is that teachers are able to convey knowledge clearly and with enthusiasm. In these abilities at once contained the secret to becoming a truly great teacher. Being a successful teacher depends a lot on the ability of the teacher to create a harmonious relationship with the students. Such relationships will increase the likelihood that students will notice and understand the teacher's message.
If students pay close attention, they will diligently and persistently perform their duties, despite many challenges and obstacles. They will look happy to complete their assignments and that means that they feel involved in learning" the minister continued
