MEDIA and REPRESENTATION

MEDIA
The word "media" comes from the Latin word is the plural of the word "medium". Literally the word means an intermediary or an introduction. But now the word is used, both for the plural as well as simplex. Then have a lot of experts and organizations that provide restrictions on media understanding. Some of them argued that the media are as follows: 
1.Teknologi carriers of messages that can be used for learning purposes. So the media is an extension of the teacher (Schram, 1977). 
2.Sarana communications in both print and audio-visual form, including technology hardware (NEA, 1969). 
3.Alat to provide incentive for students to place the learning process (Briggs, 1970). 
4.Segala forms and channels used for message delivery process (AECT, 1977). 
5.Berbagai type of component in a student environment that can stimulate students to learn (Gagne, 1970). 
6.Segala something that can be used to deliver messages that can stimulate the thoughts, feelings, concerns, and the willingness of students to learn (Miarso, 1989). 
7.Menurut Heinich, (1993) the media is a tool of communication channels. Media derived from Latin and is the plural of the word "medium" which literally means "intermediary" is an intermediary source of the message (a source) with the receiver (a receiver). Heinich exemplifies this media like film, television, diagrams, printed materials (printed materials), computer, and instructor. Examples of these media can be considered as a medium of learning when to bring the messages (messages) in order to achieve the learning objectives. Heinich also linked the relationship between the media with messages and methods (methods).

According Latuheru (in Hamdi, 2005: stating that the media are learning materials, equipment or techniques used in teaching and learning activities with the intention that the communication interaction process between teacher and student education can take place, appropriate and efficient.Based on the notions that have been given, then the media is learning everything that is used in learning activities to stimulate thoughts, feelings, interests and attention of students so that the process of interaction between teacher education communication (or media-makers) and students can take place, appropriate and efficient.
Gagne (1970) mention the media are different types of components in the environment that can stimulate students to learn.Briggs (1970) argues that the media is all the physical tools that can present the message and stimulate students to learn. For example, books, films, tapes, and film frame.With regard pendapatGagne danBriggs, we can conclude that the media is a tool and physical materials contained within the student to present the message of learning activity (the process of teaching and learning activities) so as to stimulate students to learn.
in terminology and the environment the term "media" there are several other terms that go with it or touch that can be summed up as the elements of the media. As described in the book Media Education (2007) as berikutB:
People, The term that has been known to everyone. In education, including teachers,parents, experts, and so forth.Materials (materials), this term is usually called denagan term atausoftware software contained messages that need to be presented either by the presenter tools or not.

The function of a variety of media outside of school for students of course as an additional ingredient of knowledge that they are not in school.

REPRESENTATION
Representation is a concept that has some sense. Representation is a social process of representing. The representation shows both in process and product daripemaknaan a sign. Representations can also mean the process of changing ideological concepts are abstract in the concrete forms.
Hanna Fenichel Pitkin (1969) argued that "the representative system is the modern form of democracy," which means that the representation is feasible in modern politics. In the conception of representation from Hanna Pitkin, there are four ways to look at political representation (1967: Kymlicka and Norman, 1999).1.In this authorization perspective, the representation as a gift and possession of authority by a representative as a person who is authorized to act. This implies that the representative be entitled to act, which previously did not have.2.representasi descriptive, one can think of representation as "standing for" all things that do not exist. Person can stand for the sake of others, be substituted for others, or they simply resemble someone else. Descriptive representation illustrates that the representatives described the constituents, usually marked by visible characteristics such as skin color, gender, social class. This model was conceived as a description similarity between the representative with the represented. Feature of this view is most developed among the defense of proportional representation, even this view is regarded as a fundamental principle of proportional representation that seeks to ensure that the body reflect the mathematical representation "more or less". Proportionality is related to the composition of the representative community, as a condensation of a whole, so that these representatives of proportionality requires metapora map. Representative body as a map drawn on the scale of the physical configuration and the entire copy of which always has the same proportions as the original.3.representasi symbolic meaning represents something that is not representing the facts. The idea of ​​person to be represented not by maps or portraits, tetai with sombol, with symbolized or represented symbolically. Although a symbol representing the "standing for" all things, but nothing like what is represented. Symbol has a characteristic that helps rationalize the symbolic significance, so the substitute symbol which is represented and what is symbolized substitute symbol.

REPRESENTATION OF THE FUTURE
Representations open to new knowledge-knowledge to be produced in the world, various kinds of subjectivity to explored, and new dimensions of meaning that was never close the power system is operating.
