i. Family support of teaching as a vocation
j. Strong social service interest
In Exploring Teaching: an Introduction to Education, Richard I. Arends, Nancy E. Winitzky and Margaret D. Tannenbaum concluded that
several domains of teacher behavior that were strongly associated with student’s learning are:
29
a. Effective use of time
b. High performance expectations
c. Clear rules and procedures
d. Work requirements and feedback
e. Appropriate use of praise

barriers causes the problems of students learning. It is the teacher who can be one of the factors.

E. Mulyasa notes in his book that learning facility is all of instruments or tools used to conduct education process especially teaching
learning process, like school building, classroom, table, chair and teaching media.
31
While Ibrahim Bafadal states learning facility is all of instruments, tools, equipments which are directly used in education
process in school.
32
The last, facility is a piece of equipment, a building, a service, etc. that is provided for particular purpose.
33
Then, learning facility is a piece of equipment, a building, a service etc. that is provided
for learning purpose. From those definitions, it is obvious that learning facility is the
equipments, instruments or tools used to support the teaching learning process.
It can not be avoided that facility gives many contribution to learning process, especially in school. Alisuf Sabri said that according to
some educational experts, there are five factors which are influencing the education process, they are: teacher, learner, objective, tool and
environment.
34
With these five factors, the teaching learning process can be done, although the result is still not satisfied. In order to improve the
result of learning, it will be more effective if the learning facility is provided. M. Dalyono stated that the school condition where the students
learn also influences the success level of learning, besides the teacher quality, the methods, curriculum, learning facilities, classroom condition,
the amounts of students etc.
35
The teaching learning process will run

effective and efficient if supported by complete facility. That is why; the problem of learning facility is also an essential thing in educational field.
The importance of learning facility is also considered by our government. It is stated in UU Sisdiknas pasal 45 ayat 1: “Setiap satuan
pendidikan formal dan nonformal menyediakan sarana dan prasarana yang memenuhi keperluan pendidikan sesuai dengan pertumbuhan dan
perkembangan potensi fisik, kecerdasan intelektual, sosial, emosional dan kejiwaan peserta didik.
36
Every formal and non-formal education unit provides facilities which fulfill the needs of education according with the
growth and development of physic potential, intelligence quotient, social, emotional and spiritual of the learner. Moreover, according to the facility
standard which is developed by BSNP Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan, and approved by the regulation of Ministry: “Every education
unit is obligated to have facilities including tools and equipments of education, media, textbook and the other resources of learning, empty-
used matter and the other equipments which is needed to support the learning process ordered and continuously.
37
However the facility has an important role in supporting teaching and learning process, in fact there are many schools which are lack of
facility. Therefore the students still can not learn effectively.
