3. Active Learning Model
a. The Meaning of Active Learning Model
Active learning is basically one form or type of learning approaches, action-oriented students. Activity -oriented learning
implies that students learning system placing students as active subjects and students who already have a readiness to learn. In
view of modern psychology of learning is not just memorize some facts or information, but an experienced mental events and
processes. Therefore, any event of learning requires the
involvement of the intellectual-emotional students through assimilation and accommodation cognitive to develop knowledge,
action and direct experience in order to establish the skills cognitive, motor, and social, appreciation and internalization of
values in the formation of attitudes Joni, 1980: 2.
According to Sukmadinata 2005 model of learning centered on learning activity is a learning model derived from the theory
Romantic-Naturalism. Naturalism-Romance is one theory that emphasizes the learning process. Another learning theory that
emphasizes learning process include Cognitive-Gestalt theory a theory of learning that emphasizes a thorough understanding and
indivisibility. In the process of learning theory now known
process skills, the teachers role is to create the form of various

teaching activities that students engage in a variety of learning experiences. In studying this model, students not only learn from
the teacher, but also learn from their friends and or from humans resources outside the school.
Assessment of learning, rather than being based on learning outcomes are also based on the activities of
students Sukmadinata, 2005: 178-179. Active learning instructional strategies include a wide range of
activities that share the common element of ―involving students in doing things and thinking about the things they are doing Bonwell
Eison 1991. Active learning instructional strategies can be created and used to engage students in: a thinking critically or
creatively, b speaking with a partner, in a small group, or with the entire class, c expressing ideas through writing, d exploring
personal attitudes and values, e giving and receiving feedback, and f reflecting upon the learning process .It should also be noted
that active learning instructional strategies can: a be completed by students either in-class or out-of-class, b be done by students
working either as individuals or in group, and c be done either with or without the use of technology tools. Jim Eison, 2010: 1
Based on the above, it can be said that the principle of active learning is learning model that emphasizes the activity and
participation of students in the learning process. Therefore, the role of educators in this model does not dominate the learning
