Theoretical Background
Isolating the steps gives the impression that the process is mechanical or can be reduced to a recipe. It is a text that relates to or involves transcending the boundaries of the material presented by the author. Using the lecture method is easy to improve with limited time, equipment, and availability of study materials.
When using the question and answer method, both teachers and students are equally active. Therefore, the teacher must have great enthusiasm and adequate mastery of the material so that the class can. This experimental method is to try to do something and observe the process and results of the experiment.
In this method, however, the course of the game is regulated by the teacher as facilitator. A method can be said to be one of the means that goes beyond achieving the goal. The goal to be achieved in the learning process is the level of success of the learning.28 Meanwhile, according to Nana Sudjana, the learning method is a method used by the teacher when interacting with students during teaching.
In the teaching and learning process, the group learning method is one of the methods that uses a group approach.
