INTRODUCTION
Education plays a pivotal role in nation-building, as its primary task involves honing and enhancing skills, thereby elevating the overall quality of life and human dignity.The enhancement of education can be achieved through educational institutions or bodies, with schools being the official entities responsible for this endeavor.Consequently, schools must strive to create a conducive and enjoyable learning environment, fostering active student participation in the teaching and learning process to cultivate high-quality human resources (Falahudin, 2014).
The advent of science and technology has significantly impacted the use of educational materials in educational institutions.More advanced schools have embraced these tools as aids for teaching and learning across various subjects, thereby rendering the learning process more effective and efficient (Amalia, 2014).With the rapid evolution of technology, substantial changes have occurred within the educational landscape, prompting various initiatives to transform the realm of education.These changes have encompassed curriculum development, teaching methodologies, tools, and assessment methods (Widiyaningtyas & Widiatmoko, 2014).
Organizational administration, human resources management, and training supervision have also undergone transformations (Johar et al., 2014).The development and role of technology have become so prominent that the use of teaching tools, audio-visual aids, and other school equipment has adapted to these advancements, aligning with curriculum requirements, materials, methods, and students' proficiency levels to achieve learning objectives (Barus, 2015).
The evolution of information technology has influenced the utilization of various media as educational aids.Consequently, the mastery of teaching materials is essential for educators, and they are expected to employ these media effectively and efficiently to impart knowledge to students.While multimedia has experienced rapid growth, not all educators are proficient in its use (Handayani, 2014).Therefore, teachers must possess professional competence in utilizing multimedia, starting with mastering the fundamental media, which serves as the foundation for their development.A professional educator must possess four key competencies: pedagogical, personal, social, and professional skills.Pedagogical competence demands that educators excel in the art of teaching (Miftah, 2014).Successful learning hinges on the teacher's ability to systematically and meticulously plan lessons (Supriyono & Sugirin, 2014).When planning lessons, one critical factor to consider is the selection of relevant and engaging learning media that piques students' interest (Wahyudi, 2014).Furthermore, learning media is incomplete without practical application; hence, educators must strive to plan, employ, and evolve these tools.Teachers should also explore modern electronic devices, adapting them for classroom use (Handika & Riadi, 2014).
There exist various types of learning environments, and each possesses its own distinct advantages and drawbacks (Karimah, 2014).Educators must familiarize themselves with these media types and their characteristics.This knowledge empowers teachers to make informed choices, aligning media with students' foundational skills, learning experiences, and the materials they have prepared.Such alignment is critical for ensuring a smooth and effective learning process (Yuliani & Pujiyanta, 2014).Consequently, researchers can investigate how the utilization of learning environments impacts the educational landscape.The objective of this study is to elucidate the influence of learning environments on education and the benefits accrued from their implementation (Iwan Falahudin, 2014).This research aims to provide readers with insights into the pivotal role of learning environments in education and the advantages gained through their utilization (Anas, 2014).

METHOD
This study uses a qualitative approach, which describes and describes the influence of the use of instructional media in the world of education (Darmalaksana, 2020).The way to describe and describe the data is through several expert opinions.So by using a qualitative approach this research is expected to be able to provide comprehensive facts about the effect of using instructional media in the world of education.(Sugiyono, 2015) .
The research variable is anything in any form that is determined by the researcher to be studied so that information is obtained about it and then conclusions are drawn by Sugiyono (Mustaqim, 2016b).Based on the literature review, the variables used in this study are: a. Independent Variable (Independent Variable), The independent variable is the variable that influences or causes the change or the emergence of the dependent variable in this study which is the independent variable (X), namely: learning media.b.Dependent variable (Dependent Variable) The dependent variable is a variable that is affected or becomes a result because of the independent variable (Suigono, 2016).In this research, the dependent research (Y) is: The learning process.Other publications that are worthy of being used as a source for research that will be examined literature and writers (Sugiyono, 2016) This literature study was conducted to obtain theoretical information so that researchers have a strong theoretical basis as a scientific result.The data in this study are based on books and journals that are relevant to the author's research (Nursalam, 2016).The data analysis technique used in this study is qualitative data analysis where in this study the opinions expressed by experts regarding instructional media, these data are used as a basis for strengthening the author's arguments in analyzing the effect of using instructional media (Mustaqim, 2016a).

DISCUSSION
Media, deriving from the Latin word "medium" in its plural form, refers to entities situated between two ends or serves as tools.In the context of Jennah's educational media, all components, encompassing both hardware and software, function as communication tools guaranteeing the clarity of information transmission.Mass media serves as a conduit for conveying information to message recipients (Yudasmara & Purnami, 2015).
Media serves as a conduit for transferring messages from the source to the message recipient.In the realm of teaching and learning, media is primarily construed as graphical, photographic, or electronic instruments that facilitate the comprehension, management, and reorganization of visual or verbal information.Media encompasses any entity, substance, tool, or event that can establish conditions conducive to students' acquisition of knowledge, skills, and behaviors (Runtulalu & Purba, liliana, 2015).Media operates as an intermediary in disseminating news from sources to recipients, such as through video, television, computers, and other platforms (Runtulalu & Purba, liliana, 2015).Learning media is a functional tool used for transmitting educational messages.Learning media encompasses anything employed to convey messages systematically from sources, fostering an optimal learning environment where learning is both effective and efficient (Lubis & Ikhsan, 2015).
Learning media encompasses anything deployable to enhance teaching and learning activities.The learning environment functions as an instrument or tool for executing the educational process, encouraging the establishment of teacher-student relationships aimed at achieving specific educational objectives (Arnesti & Hamid, 2015).
According to Article 1, Paragraph (19) of Permendiknas Number 32 regarding National Education Standards issued by the government in 2013, learning constitutes the interaction between students, instructors, and learning resources within an educational environment.Learning fundamentally constitutes a communication process, entailing the transmission of messages from sources to recipients via designated channels or media (Haryanto, 2015).Learning represents the process of establishing connections between students, other students, and the materials being taught (Rika Lisiswanti & Indri Windarti, 2015).Learning serves as communication among students within the educational framework of the school environment (Kharisma et al., 2015).
From the above comprehension, it can be deduced that learning media is an instructional tool utilized in the educational process, serving to stimulate student engagement, encompassing all elements, including objects and the surrounding environment, which students can utilize during the learning process (Badriyah, 2015).As per KBBI's definition, education denotes the process of transforming the attitudes and behaviors of individuals or groups to cultivate maturity through teaching, training, processes, changes, and methodologies.Ki Hajar Dewantara, however, views education as one of the most crucial endeavors for transmitting knowledge about civilized human life to each new generation, with a focus not only on "preservation" but also on cultural advancement and development towards a better direction (Susilo, 2015).Haidari and Nurussakinah characterize education as the guidance or support provided by adults to foster early childhood development, enabling children to become sufficiently self-reliant in life tasks without adult assistance.In Muhibbin Shah's perspective, education arises from the term "educate," with the initial "I" transforming it into "educate," implying nurturing and instructing.In nurturing and providing education, instruction, guidance, and assistance are essential concerning the behavior and intellect of the individuals being nurtured (Rahayu et al., 2015).
The field of education is progressively elevating the quality of human resources amid advancing technology in the global era, alongside evolving curricula.Consequently, the educational approach is shifting away from traditional lecturing towards the adoption of numerous media.Present-day learning emphasizes skills, processes, and active engagement.Verbal communication alone can render information abstract, potentially leading to students memorizing words without grasping their meaning, thereby resulting in misconceptions.To combat this, students' experiences should be made concrete, and conveyed messages should genuinely attain their objectives.Activities that mimic real-world scenarios necessitate students' physical and psychological involvement.While offering direct experiences is challenging due to planning and time constraints, some experiences cannot be acquired firsthand.For instance, it's impossible for students to directly observe the ocean floor.Hence, learning media becomes indispensable in the educational process.Learning media plays a pivotal role in the realm of education by supporting both students and teachers.The utilization of learning media simplifies the teaching and learning process, heightening student motivation through the presentation of educational materials in a media-rich format that captivates students' attention, thereby enhancing comprehension and mastery of the intended learning outcomes.
Learning methods provided through media offer greater flexibility compared to oral communication.By conveying information orally, students remain engaged, and instructors do not exhaust their energy delivering extensive content.This reduction in delivery time is accompanied by a reduction in required learning time.The brevity of media usage between conveying information and learning ensures efficient knowledge absorption.Furthermore, the learning process is not confined to the classroom; it can occur anytime and anywhere.For example, students can employ electronic devices such as televisions, radios, laptops, and other gadgets for learning.
In this context, teachers play a vital role in guiding students toward achieving their goals through the learning environment.The choice of the learning environment is crucial, as it should align with the subject matter and students' needs.Learning media serves as a means to preserve rare objects or specific events, allowing for the manipulation of circumstances.For instance, teachers can document rare occurrences through photos, videos, or audio recordings, using them as needed.A teacher can elucidate a rare solar eclipse through video footage or employ a film presentation to describe historical events in social studies.Manipulation of the
