This study applied an experimental design with pretest and posttest design. The results score of experiment group pretest means are 5.35 and posttest means are 6.2. The increase of knowledge generated from this method was 8.8%, after that, we do the paired t test and did not show any significance at all. Different results were obtained by the control group, with a pretest means are 7.65 and posttest means are 9.1. The increased of this method was 19.7%, after that, we do the paired t test and show the real significant with p<.05. The conclusion that learning by conventional methods can not be completely replaced by audio visual methods.
