Management of Direct Instruction Model Implementation to Foster University Student Learning Creativity

Abstract

The direct instruction learning model is a form of classical presentation of material but is given competency and skill reinforcement. Direct instruction is used to streamline learning for students who have low achievement and learning difficulties. Practical exercises so that it makes it easier for students to follow the steps carried out by the lecturer. The direct learning model fosters motivation to build learning constructions in a mature and independent manner when given assignments that require personal decision making intended to explore the material received. The capacity of students is said to be able to understand the context of direct learning. When making assignment representations it can be carried out with broad thoughts and insights because there is direct understanding and learning through working on the results of assignments or activities that will be guided and explained directly by the lecturer. From the test results, it was found that 96% of the direct learning model provided benefits because the lecturer explained the material coherently and students could immediately ask questions and answers to get an explanation. Meanwhile, 4% did not understand the direct learning model, because students wanted assignments to strengthen the material being conveyed. The contribution obtained with the direct learning model is that there is intense interaction about the delivery of teaching materials that can be directly discussed, so that students get maximum results.
