1. Understanding LearningLearning activities is never separated from the activities of human life. Learning does not always have to be done in the school environment, but can be implemented anywhere, both within the family and society.
In formal education, the learning activities undertaken by students is that many of the main activities contributing to the success or failure in achieving educational goals. Learning is not a destination, but a process to achieve the goal. So learn the steps or procedures taken to achieve that goal.
According to traditional opinion, learning is defined as "efforts to add and collect the amount of knowledge" (Aqib, 2002: 42). According to traditional opinion is that emphasis in the study were children given various lessons to increase knowledge it has, by way of memorization.
Meanwhile, according to experts of modern education, learning is defined as "A form of growth or change in a person who stated in ways that the new act thanks to experience and practice" (Aqib, 2002: 42). The new behavior is for example the severity of such from not knowing to knowing, the emergence of new pengetian, as well as the rise and development of properties of social, moral, and emotional.
According to Ernest R. Hilgard in his book "Theories of Learning" which was quoted by Zainal Aqib (2002: 43) study is defined as follows: "Learning is the process by which an activity originates or is changed trough training procedures (whether in the laboratory or in the natural environment) as distinguished from changes by factors not attribute Able to training ". This means that learning is a process that gave birth to or modify an activity through road workout (whether in the laboratory or in natural environment) as distinguished from the changes by factors that do not include exercise. In this definition says that someone who is learning, its behavior will change than ever before. So learn not only about the intellectual field alone, but on the whole child's personal.
According W.S. Winkel in Max Darsono (2000: 4) defines learning as "a mental activity / psychic that took place in an active interaction with the environment that result in changes in knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes and values."
Furthermore, according to the dictionary paedagogik in Zainal Aqib (2002: 43) said that "Learning is trying to have the knowledge or skills". Someone has to learn something proven by his actions.
