I . I N TROD UCTI ON

Lect urers should const ant ly be chalenged wit h asks t hat refer t o skill and
knowledge j ust beyond t hier current level of m ast ery. This will capt ure t heir
m ot ivat ion and build on previous successes in order t o enhance t he confidence of
learner ( Rogers, 2003) . The inst ruct ion is good only when it proceeds ahead of

developm ent . Then it awakens and rouses t o life an ent ire set of funct ions which
are in t he st age of m at uring. I t is in t his way t hat inst ruct ion plays an ext rem ely
im port ant role in developm ent .
I t is im port ant t o achieve t he right balance bet ween t he degree of st ruct ur
and flexibilit y t hat is built int o t he learning process. A lect urer should st ruct ure
t he leaning experiance j ust enough t o m ake sure t hat t he st udent s get clear
guidance and param et ers wit hin which t o achieve t he learnign obj ect ives. The
learning experience should be open and free enough t o allow for t he learners t o
discover, enj oy, int eract and arrive at t heir own, socially verified version t rut h.
The st rat egy and m et hod learning of t his subj ect is done at learning
process t hat is each of m eet ing t he lect urer give t he t opic m at erial t o st udent s
which is t hen cont inued by t he discussion. Discussion can be in t he form of

Media t hat is as a m eans of assist t he t eaching never

m iss t o be

discussed as t he shares ought t o use by t eacher in learning process. I n fact , it is
frequent ly uncared in learning process by various reasons.
Benny A.P. and Dewi P.P. ( 2005) said t hat t he t echnology rapidly grow
t hese days, exploit ing of com put er in course of st udy don't can only be used
st and alone but can is also exploit ed in net work. Com put er net work have enabled
t he process learn t o broader, m ore int eract ive and m ore flexible. St udent can do
t he learning process wit hout lim it ed by t he t im e and space fact or, m ean if

available net work facilit y, st udent can do learning process j ust where and any
t im e.
Therefore researcher int erest t o im prove and develop t he qualit y of
learning process by using m ult im edia, so t hat t he st udent s will be able t o
com prehend t he lect uring it em s and forwarding of it em s expect ed can creat e t he

I I . FORM ULATI ON OF PROBLEM
This review of background by exist ence of som e problem s:
1. Mat erials and inform at ion of t he subj ect cont ent is lim it ed
2. St udent part icipat ion in act ivit y of learning process st ill lower.
3. St rat egy of forwarding of it em s by using t he m edia in t his t im e not yet drawn

The program in form of drill and pract ice is gener ally used if st udent
