Summary

Introduction

Education is defining as a programmed effort to anticipate social change by educators in helping students and social units to develop to a better level, the goal and the way and the way. (Muhajir, 2000). The applied learning methodology still maintains the old (traditional) methods such as lecturing and memorizing, which still looks dry with ideas and innovations from the students themselves. Such methods are recognized to have made students bored, bored, and less enthusiastic in learning so that the indication that is generating is a sense of student distaste for the teacher, and over time there will be an indifferent attitude towards the essence of the material taught. It is time to dismantle the educational model which still follows the "old style," which only requires students to "always obey" and does not give freedom to be critical and rational towards education that is educating, liberating, and humanizing, so that education is humanist will come true
