Efektivitas Pemanfaatan Media Audio-Visual Sebagai Alternatif Optimalisasi Model Pembelajaran

This research aim to know result of engineering learning achievement of student of Elektronic technical Department, that taught by using audio-visual aid (media), and result of student learning taught by using conventional method. Research subject is student of Elektronic technical Department which programming Computer network study subject in school year 2008/2009, that divided into experiment group and control group. Every group consisted of 17 mans and 16 mans, that fixed randomly. Experiment group that taught by using audio-visual aid, whereas control group that taught by using conventional method. Student achievement in Computer network  engineering was evaluated by using cognitive summative test. Based on descriptive analysis indicates that result of student computer network engineering learning that taught by using audio-visual aid to stay at very high category, while student that taught with conventional approach resided at high category. Result of research indicates that there are difference significantly result of computer network engineering learning between students taught by using media audio-visual compared to student taught by using conventional method at Elektronic technical Department, where result of student learning taught by using audio-visual media ( 16,25) is higher than result of student learning taught by using conventional method ( 9,25). Implication of this research finding is that the lecturers or teacher need to allow for applies technology-based media in teaching, as audio-visual aid (media), so that result of learning in an optimal fashion, especially for engineering area learning.
