and other information to the group. This is done because a lot of teaching and
learning that characterized the activities of the individual.

the five aspects such as: performance / performance of teachers in the
classroom, the classroom learning facilities, classroom climate, students
attitude, and student motivation. Aspects of performance of teachers means
the ability of teachers to demonstrate competence in the skills or time to teach
in the classroom. Based on the interview with the teacher, it is known that the
teacher is certified, the teacher in the learning process to apply a lecture with
a brief question and answer, and using media powerpoint, because with such a
method can be conveyed all the material to the students. Meanwhile, based on
the observation, it appears that the acquisition of learning materials has been
pretty good teacher, but in learning, teacher learning model has not been
applied in accordance with the characteristics of basic competence (KD) and
it does not use instructional media interest, so that learning looks monotonous
because there is no variation in learning techniques in the classroom.
