INTRODUCTION
A. Background Issues
One of the mass
media which is quite popular and touches all walks of life ranging from
low-level, mid-way up is the radio medium. Radio is the media most populous
countries in the world and has the widest range. Currently, there are 35,000
radio stations around the world. In Indonesia, a radio transmitter can be found
everywhere, both in large cities and in outlying villages.
Function when
the radio is not only a medium of entertainment, but have grown so fast. One of
the interesting functions of the various segments of the radio age of radio as
a medium is the messenger. Various actual news going on in the country and
abroad can be quickly known by the public through the medium of radio. For this
reason, the radio as one of the alternative media should be an option for the
dissemination of information education both formal and non-formal.
Non-formal
education is a strategic role within the National Education System, it is
clearly stipulated in Law No. 20 of 2003. Non Formal Education has advantages
compared to formal education that is the flexibility spot, target, time, etc.
programs. But it will not lose much different when the radio can be used in
formal education to support the development of education in the country of
Indonesia.
For some people
reading a book is boring. Many people are looking for ways to learn without
having to frequently open book, so comes the many ways or methods of learning
fun. One of them is by listening to the radio. Now the radio is one of the
methods of learning in addition to television, proved several schools ranging
from elementary to senior high school attempt to use this method. instead that
sharing knowledge is his students. because we are not spared from listening to
the radio, and it's easier to hear the radio have this knowledge. In some radio
station also has a radio program of education like let's learn English, at one
radio station. Although the frequency of its broadcast time is not too much,
they prioritize the songs, the angamat unfortunate.
For a school is
not easy to build a school community that can stimulate the emergence of
generations of quality. School is not a "factory" that only human
beings have to print with high knowledge. Schools also need to be able to give
a boost the appearance of human beings who are qualified to have the emotional
intelligence that can be justified.
Intellectual
intelligence and emotional intelligence is an integral sections thereof.
Development into three domains of cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains
is at once a kind Work real work that would be monumental if successful.
While the
development of human life goes so fast that the new will soon become obsolete,
replaced by a state that will be very much different. Therefore, schools should
be able to also provide supplies such as LIVE SKILL. Therefore, of the problems
that exist in trying to uncover the top speakers on the theme of radio as a
medium position and the methods used in the study.
B. Problem Formulation
From the above
background, then get the inferences about the problem to be formulated as
follows:
"How to Position Radio As One Media
and Methods Used In Learning"
DISCUSSION
Definition of
radio in general is an electronic instrument that emerged from the results of
communications technology. Through this tool one can listen to broadcasts from
various corners and events. Radio education is generally not used directly for
the full educational purposes. In the special radio broadcast regarding
education for education set by the schedule. Radio education has a value - a
specific value, such as giving the news that up-to-date, attract, wide range,
based on the fact, encourage creative, have creative value.
Radio broadcasts
can be delivered through effective teaching, adds to the experience and the
knowledge and motivation to learn. The shape can be a radio broadcast lectures,
stories, interviews, skits etc..
Inside a hearing
or listening to the learning process is essential because in a sense that there
is learning all participated in humans and one of them is the sense of hearing.
Here is the opinion - the opinion of experts on the process of hearing or
listening
Opinions Sanford

average / larger than the working adults conducted by verbally communicating
and "hearing / hearing" took most of the time , even at the
university most of the time in the classroom is used by the listener / by using
the sense of hearing. Sebuhubuang with it said by Heinich, Molendan and Russel
(1982: 140) says that the elementary and high school students spend about 50%
of the time to listen to the lessons at school. College students in nearly 90%
of the time used to listen to the lecture material, lectures, seminars /
discussions.
Thus it is considered necessary and not
excessive to say that for a teacher, to hear the media presence in the
classroom should not be underestimated. Through audio media to capture and
understand a variety of human voice and the sounds are nothing to do with the
problem of learning towards the achievement of the learning objectives.

B. Use of Radio In A Study
The procedure uses radio classes in general
through the following steps: preparation, receipt and follow-up activities as a

Before conducting activities - specific
activities within this preparation step, then there are two things that need to
be considered, namely: the use of the broadcast time and place as well as the
conditions of acceptance.
a) The radio must pay attention and
rigorous use of time,
That is started at the right time and end
at the right time. The meaning here is appropriate to the extent of using the
second. Thus there should be no variability and flexibility. Because it usually
is used to set the time of a stop watch. Exceptions are granted only to
important events that are nasionl, such as the President's speech. This
exception will interrupt regular broadcasts.
Thus timing required for the purpose of
educating children in addition to using the best time but also for the benefit
of continuity of the program sequence. The listener itself stalled and keeping
the length of time since the event is not yet available further broadcasts.

questions, following the demonstration, held appreciation, writing words and
sentences given. The activities in this step is the implementation of the
things that have been planned in advance.
