Though the model of the presentation of material that is fun, interesting, and easy to understand is one of the factors that influence their learning success. They are bored with the model of presenting the material using the media that the teacher uses repeatedly. Therefore, teachers' creativity and innovation are needed in utilizing the media and being able to package it into concepts that are interesting and fun for their students.
