I. INTRODUCTION
Learning is an essential process in the change of human behavior as well as every matter thought and done by humans.
Learning takes an important role in the human development, nature, manner, belief, personality goal, and human
perception. Therefore, in order to achieve those objectives, human need to do learning and teaching activities. The process
of the teaching learning activity would be the factor in determining the success in reaching the education goals. The
development can be reached supported by many factors. It also affects the learning outcome development. Learning
outcome used as the standard on how far the students understanding the materials taught by the lecturer. Thus, learning
outcome is an important aspect in the teaching learning activity.
The process of teaching learning activity basically is the process of communication, which is the process to deliver
message from the source by using particular network or media to the receiver. The message, the source, the media, and the
receiver are the components of communication process. The messages that will be communicated consist of lesson based
on the curriculum. The source of the message could be the lecturer, students, people, writer, and media producer. The
network would be the education media and the receiver could be the students or even the lecturer (Sadiman, 2007: 11-12)
Based on the observation, the problem appeared on the development of photo media course is that the students hardly
understanding the explanation of the lesson about the aperture, ISO, speed, time limitation, and the camera limitation. The
students were also not so active in the teaching learning activity and there was no active role in the class interaction yet. If
those problems are not solved sooner, it would be the barrier in achieving the learning objectives in teaching learning
process and the students will not be able to master the lesson. The impact of this problem which about the teaching
learning process that is less optimal is the students’ understands in related lesson; ISO, speed, aperture and so on, tend to
be quite low.
Those problems surely need to be solved, that is why a solution on the use of camera simulation on teaching learning
process should be found. Within this media hopefully the materials delivered could increase the new interest, enhance the
motivation and as the trigger for teaching learning activity, and even affect the students psychologically (Hamalik,
1986:23) Based on the problems stated before, this classroom activity research needs to be conducted with the title: The
Use of Camera Simulation to Improve the Understanding on the Material of Photo Media Development course.

II. RESEARCH METHOD
This research is a classroom activity research where is about an observation towards a teaching learning activity as an
activity which is purposely implemented and happened in the classroom in the same time. (Arikunto, 2008:3) According to
Aqib (2008:16), the characteristic of classroom activity research are:
1. Based on the problem experienced by the lecturer instructionally.
2. There is a collaboration on the implementation
3. The researcher acts as well as the practitioner who will done the reflection
4. The goal is to overcome and to enhance the quality of the instructional practice
5. Implemented in stages and some cycles
This research conducted for year 2013 on the department of Curriculum and Technology of Education, the faculty of
Education Major, State University of Surabaya.
There are some kinds of classroom activity research which is still implemented in the education field until now, such as
Kemmis and Mc. Taggart type which is consist of some cycles, where in every cycle comprised of four stages that are
about planning, acting, observing, and reflecting:

III. RESULT
1. FIRST CYCLE RESULT DISCUSSION
In the teaching learning activity before the implementation of the camera simulation media, the students learning outcomes
were far from the targeted score that was 75. The students’ average score was reaching 40,10. After the implementation of the
camera simulation media in the first cycle, there was an improvement in the students’ average score that was 68,55.
In the implementation of the first cycle, the students understanding on ISO, aperture, and speed increased by using the camera
simulation media. In the first cycle the lecturer applied the camera simulation media so that the students interested to the class.
Those matters made some of students were excited to listen to the lecturer and follow the class. While basically the
implementation of the first cycle was still need to be improved. Based on the observation result could be concluded that most
students interested to master the ISO, speed and aperture materials using the learning media that is the camera simulation.
Thus, the lecturer should give motivations so that the students will to continue learn on home. So the students will be able to
master the material and share the part related to the material where is hard to understand to the lecturer. There are 32 students
achieved the learning objectives and 15 students were not yet succeed in the average score 68,55.
The lecturer supported by giving motivation to the students which still not confident yet to ask a question, and the lecturer gave
the homework so that the students could also learn on their home. Moreover, the lecturer also assisted the students which did
still not understand the materials well by giving one by one questioning section in the teaching learning process to know the
students’ understanding.
The activities in the first cycle needed to be revised to be exact on its teaching learning process by extending the duration
while using the camera simulation media. The lecturer needs to motivate and support the students in learning activity so
that the students’ ability in learning the materials by using the camera simulation media could be increased. Thus, the
result of the learning outcomes in the pre-cycle compared to the first cycle by using the camera simulation media could
be seen on this table below.
TABLE 1
COMPARISON OF STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES PRE CYCLE AND CYCLE 1
NO CATEGORY RATING PRE CYCLE CYCLE I
1 LOWEST SCORE 39 45
2 HIGHEST SCORE 79 83
3 AVERAGE SCORE 40,10 68,55
The table stated about the students’ lowest score before and after the use of the camera simulation media. In the pre-
cycle teaching learning activity, the students’ lowest score was only 39 and the highest score was 79. While after
using the camera simulation media for ISO, speed, and aperture lesson, the students’ lowest rank increased to 45 and
the highest score improved to 83. The students’ average score increased from 40,10 to 68,55.
2. SECOND CYCLE RESULT DISCUSSION
In the second cycle, the teaching learning activity was also used camera simulation media based on the reflection
stage in the first cycle that was stated that the students were still not completely understand the concept. Hence, in
the second cycle the duration of the use of camera simulation media was extended. It has good impact on the
students’ understanding on the concept to comprehend the lesson. There were still noises in the class so the lecturer
gave a motivation to the students by giving more time to the students to think as well as individually and even a
chance to learn more by using the camera simulation media.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
The second cycle was successfully implemented based on the result of the observation sheet as well as the test result of the
concept mastery of ISO, speed, and aperture which was increased and accomplished the success standard in the research. The
improvement of concept mastery by the students on the aspect of cognitive in the second cycle by using the camera simulation media
showed the students’ lowest score increased compared to the first cycle that was from 45 to 55, the highest score also increased from
83 to 92, and the average score improved from 68,55 to 83,57. This happened because the students were used to understanding the
material since the first cycle, so that when it came to the second cycle’s material the students were able to follow the lesson easily and
concentrated well, confirmed by the fact that the students were willing to ask a question and express their opinions. It could be
concluded that the students become interested in the learning activity by the camera simulation activity used by the lecturer.

From the description above could be concluded that the students’ learning outcomes on the lesson of aperture, speed, and
ISO could be increased by using the camera simulation media and it can improves the understanding on its concept for
the students of year 2013 in the Curriculum and Technology of Education Departmen, FIP, UNESA.

3. RECOMMENDATION
Based on the result and the discussion about the data obtained in this research, it can be concluded that the camera simulation
media is able to increase the understanding on the lesson of ISO, speed, and aperture, so that it also can improves the
understanding on the concept of photography. It can be seen from the improvements of students’ test score about their
understanding. In the first cycle the average score was 68,55, while in the second cycle the average score was 83,57. Overall,
this camera simulation media used in this research is a good media to increase the understanding on the concept of the lesson
of aperture, speed, and ISO in the photo media course.
There are also recommendations as stated below:
1. The use of camera simulation media could be used as the aid in the teaching learning activity
2. The media use should be increased to optimized the students’ understanding about the concept
3. The development of the camera simulation media as the learning aid is needed, realizing the technology development
which keeps being more advances and the inquired of the fact that learning is everywhere anywhere.
