THE ESSENTIALITY OF THE ROLE OF MEDIA IN LEARNING INFORMATION PROCESSING

Abstract

Media aims to stimulate students to remember what they have learned and helped obtain new
information and stimulate student activity in providing feedback and feedback in the learning
process. The media design in learning that is developed must be tailored to the needs of
students and the expected learning outcomes. Information in the learning process is
knowledge obtained from learning, experience, or instruction. Information Processing Theory
deals with how people perceive their environment, how they enter information into memory,
and how to recall information that has been obtained. Information processing theory is a
cognitive approach to understanding how the human mind changes sensory information. The
thought process is a mental activity of a person in the activity of being able to mix, match,
combine, exchange, and sequence the concepts of perceptions and experiences obtained in a
previous event. The process of obtaining information or knowledge in the memory process is
greatly influenced by the perceptions of a person. Perception is a process of using the
knowledge that is already owned (which is stored in memory) to detect or obtain and interpret
stimuli (stimuli) received by sensory organs such as the eyes, ears, and nose. Information
processes through three memories, namely sensory memory, short-term memory, and longterm memory, each of which has a storage capacity and causes the loss of information it has
received. Learning media is one of the stimulants designed to help send messages to students
and provide the same stimulation, equalize experiences, and cause the same perception of
students. A set of external events designed to support some learning process that is internal in
nature.
