| KINDS OF TEACHING METHOD |
Understanding teaching method
The method according to Djamaluddin and Abdullah Aly in Kapita Selekta Islamic Education, (1999: 114) comes from the meta word means through, and hodos road. So the method is the path that must be passed to achieve a goal. Meanwhile, according to the Ministry of Religious Affairs in the book Islamic Religious Education Methodology (2001: 19) Method means the work system that bersistem to facilitate the implementation of an activity in order to achieve the goals specified. According to WJS. Poerwadarminta in Big Indonesian Dictionary, (1999: 767) Method is a way that has been regular and well thought to achieve a purpose. Based on the above definition, the authors can take the conclusion that the method is the way or the way someone to follow to achieve the expected goals.
Teaching is a very complex undertaking, making it difficult to determine how to actually teach good. Method is one of the tools to achieve the goal. While learning is an activity undertaken by the teacher in such a way that the behavior of students changed to a better direction (Darsono, 2000: 24). According to Ahmadi (1997: 52) method of learning is a knowledge of the ways of teaching used by teachers or instructors. Another understanding says that the method of learning is a presentation technique that is mastered by teachers to teach or present learning materials to students in the classroom, either individually or in groups so that the lesson can be absorbed.

As for the intended learning According to Gagne, Briggs, and wagner in Udin S. Winataputra (2008) is a series of activities designed to enable the learning process in students. Meanwhile, according to Law No. 20 of 2003 on Sisdiknas, learning is the process of interaction of learners with educators and learning resources in a learning environment.
So learning is a process of interaction of learners with educators and learning resources in a learning environment. Learning is an aid provided by educators in order to occur the process of acquisition of knowledge and knowledge. So it can be said Learning theory is an attempt to describe how humans learn, thus helping us all understand the complex inhern process of learning.

| KINDS OF TEACHING METHOD (2) |
Based on the above description can be concluded that the intended learning method is the way or path taken by the teacher to deliver learning materials so that learning objectives can be achieved. Can also be concluded that the learning method is a learning strategy used by the teacher as a medium to achieve the learning objectives that have been set. This encourages a teacher to find the right method in the delivery of the material in order to be well absorbed by the students. Teaching effectively depends heavily on the selection and use of teaching methods.
Different Methods of Learning
Teaching Method of many kinds and types, each type of learning method has its own weaknesses and advantages, not using one kind of method alone, combining the use of several methods that are still widely used in teaching and learning process. According to Nana Sudjana (in the book Basics of Teaching and Learning Process, 1989: 78-86), there are various methods in learning, namely Lecture method, Question Answer Method, Discussion Method, Recitation Method, Group Work Method, Demonstration Method and Experiment , Method of sociodrama (role-playing), kasus solving method, team method, drill, field-trip, community survey, and simulation method. For more details, the authors describe several types of Teaching Method as follows:
Lecture method
The lecture method is an oral narrative. This method is not always bad when its use is properly prepared, supported by tools and media, and taking into account the limits of its possible use.

 |
| Simulation Method |
a) Excess Simulation Method
There are several advantages by using simulation as teaching method, such as:
1. Simulation can be used as a stock for students in the face of the actual situation later; Both in family life, society, and face the world of work.
2. Simulation can develop student's krwativity, because through simulation students are given the opportunity to play a role according to the simulated topic.

4. Enrich the knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to deal with problematic social situations.
5. Simulation can increase students' passion in learning process.
b) Weakness of Simulation Method
Besides having advantages, the simulation also has weaknesses, including:
1. Experience gained through simulation is not always appropriate and in line with reality in the field.
2. Unfavorable management. Often simulation serve as a means of entertainment, so that the learning objectives become neglected.
3. Psychological factors such as shame and fear often affect students in simulation.
Factors Affecting Teaching Method
In carrying out a learning must begin with learning planning activities. Planning has an important function to make learning more focused. In making learning plans, many aspects must be considered by the teacher. Therefore, for the implementation of learning can run well and can achieve the expected goals, then in preparing learning design need to consider the factors that influence the selection of Teaching Method. In the process of teaching and learning teachers should always look for new ways to adjust their teaching to the situation at hand.The methods used should vary to avoid saturation in students. However, this varied method will not be profitable if it does not fit the situation.
The following are the factors that influence the selection of Teaching Method, among others:
a. Students or learners
Selection of a learning method, must adjust the level of student education.Considerations that emphasize the difference in education level is on the ability of learners, whether it is able to think abstract or not. The application of a simple and complex method is certainly very different, and both are related to the level of ability to think and behave learners at every level
In the classroom the teacher will deal with a number of children with different life backgrounds. Their social status also varies. Likewise with gender and posture.In short from the physical aspect there is always a difference and equality in each student. While from the intellectual point of view, there is a difference that is shown from the fast and slow response of the students to the stimuli given in teaching and learning activities. Psychological aspects also there are differences that the students are quiet, open, and others.
b. Learning objectives to be achieved
Each implementation of learning certainly has a learning objective to be achieved. Implementation of learning aims to learners as learners will gain learning experience and show behavior change, where the changes are positive and long lasting. The sentence can be interpreted that a successful learning is a learning that will not only increase the knowledge of learners but also affect the attitude and way of view of learners to the reality of life.
Learning objectives are the intended goals of each teaching and learning activity. This may affect the selection of methods to be used. The method chosen by the teacher should be in accordance with the level of ability to be filled into each of the students. So the method should be tailored to the learning objectives.
c. Learning material factor
The subject matter has different depth, breadth, complexity. Learning materials with high difficulty level usually require analysis steps in various level. The analysis can be on a superficial, moderate, or in-depth analysis. Selection of appropriate Teaching Method can provide practical direction to overcome the difficulty level of a learning material.
d. Situation of teaching and learning
Teaching-learning situations created by teachers are not always the same. So the teacher must choose a teaching method that is appropriate to the created situation. At other times, according to the nature of the material and the ability to be achieved by the goal, the teacher creates a learning environment in groups.So the created situation affects the selection and determination of teaching methods.
e. Teaching and learning facilities
Learning facilities serve to facilitate the learning process and meet the needs of the learning process. For schools that already have complete learning facilities, the availability of learning facilities is no longer an obstacle. However, not all schools have learning facilities with the expected standards. These circumstances should not be a barrier for teachers in designing learning that can still reach the learning objectives. In certain circumstances, teachers who have a strong spirit and commitment still able to organize learning interesting, fun, and able to achieve the expected learning objectives.
Facilities are the things that affect the selection and determination of teaching methods. Facility is the completeness that support children's learning in school.Complete study facilities will influence the choice of teaching methods.
f. Factors allocation of learning time.
Selection of appropriate Teaching Method should also take into account the availability of time. A good study plan is the use of time allocations that are calculated in detail, so that learning runs dynamically, no time is wasted without meaning. The opening, core, and closing activities are arranged systematically.In the core activities that include the exploration - elaboration - confirmation stage, taking part of the time with the largest portion compared to the opening and closing activities.
g. Teacher.
The teacher education background is recognized to affect competence. Lack of mastery of various types of methods becomes an obstacle in choosing and determining methods. Moreover, do not have adequate teaching experience.But there are also appropriate choosing it but in its implementation encountered obstacles due to personality labilnya and shallow mastery over the methods used.
Selection Criteria of Learning Method
Criteria for selection of Teaching Method are:
1. The character (character) of the teacher.
2. Level of intellectual and social development of children.
3. School facilities available.
4. Master's Ability Level.
5. The nature and purpose of the subject matter.
6. Learning time.
7. The classroom atmosphere.
8. Context of learning destination domain.
Meanwhile, according to Slameto (2003: 98) selection criteria of Teaching Method are:
a. The purpose of teaching, the behavior expected to be shown students after the teaching and learning process.
b. Teaching materials, ie materials presented in teaching in the form of facts that require different methods of methods used to teach materials in the form of concepts, procedures or rules.
c. Large class (number of classes), ie the number of students who take classes in the class in question. Classes with 5-10 students require different teaching methods than the class with 50-100 students.
d. The ability of students, namely the ability of students to capture and develop teaching materials that are taught. This depends a lot on the level of maturity students both mental, physical and intellectual.
e. The ability of teachers, namely the ability to use various types of optimal teaching methods.
f. Available facilities, materials or tools and other facilities can be used to improve teaching effectiveness.
g. The time available, the amount of time planned or allocated to present the prescribed teaching materials. For a lot of material to be presented in a short time requires a different method with relatively little presentation material but relatively large presentation time.
Ahmadi (1997: 53) suggested the conditions that must be considered in the use of teaching methods are:
1. Teaching methods should be able to generate student's motives, interests or passions.
2. Teaching methods should ensure the development of student personality activities.
3. Teaching methods should be able to provide opportunities for students to realize the work.
4. Teaching methods should be able to stimulate students' desire to learn more, explore and innovate (renewal).
5. Teaching methods should be able to educate students in their own learning techniques and how to gain knowledge through personal effort.
6. Teaching methods should be able to eliminate the presentation of a lisan character and replace it with experience or real situation and aim.
7. Teaching methods should be able to instill and develop the desired values and attitudes in the habit of working well in everyday life.
Teachers as one source of learning are obliged to provide a creative learning environment for the learning activities of students in the classroom. One of the activities that must be done is to determine and select the method. A method used by teachers to teach must be completely mastered. So that at the time of its use can create an atmosphere of educational interaction.
To avoid the saturation and cessation of students' interest in the lesson, teachers should use various methods Even the methods used can foster students' desire to learn independently using their own techniques. In the classroom teachers deliver lesson materials. The lesson material will give less impetus to the students to learn more when the delivery uses a less precise strategy. The selected methods are used on the basis of their benefits, so a teacher is said to be competent if he has a rich way of delivering the gift and has the criteria that will be used to select ways of presenting the teaching and learning experience. In the process of learning to teach also needed tools used to eliminate verbalitas. So that students more quickly absorb the material that has been delivered.
Teaching methods applied by teachers should be able to realize the work of students. Students are led to be able to think critically and creatively by giving the students an opportunity to convey their ideas. Selection of inappropriate methods with the nature of materials and learning objectives cause the class less passionate and less creative student conditions. So with the application of appropriate methods with a variety of indicators can increase student interest in the lesson material delivered and great interest will ultimately affect the achievement that will be achieved.
