The Nature of Learning Resources

In general, learning resources is a term that describes everything that can be used,
everything that can be used in students' learning activities or in learning activities in learning
environments in education, training, industry and other non-formal settings. These sources
can usually be in the form of written materials, audio-visuals, technology-based materials,
objects, events and people that can be used to support and assist the teaching and learning
process. Learning resources can help information processing because they can arouse
students' interest in learning, attract and maintain students' attention to learning material

Several experts expressed opinions regarding the meaning of learning resources in

messages, people, materials, tools, techniques and the environment, whether

that learning resources are all sources in the form of data, people and certain forms that
students can use in learning, either separately or in combination, making it easier for
students to achieve learning goals.

From several opinions expressed by several experts, it can be concluded that learning
resources are all sources in the form of data, people and certain forms that can be used by
students in learning, either separately or in combination, making it easier for students to
achieve their goals. learn or achieve certain competencies.

Learning resources are anything in the form of objects and people that can support
learning activities. Learning resources can be divided into two categories, namely: (a)
learning resources for learning (resources for learning) and (b) learning resources as a
means of learning (resources as learning), namely materials or tools used for learning
activities, for example wooden sticks for carving. , paper for drawing, so, learning
resources include all possible sources that can be used by students to occur learning
