“…Learning media has a very important role in learning, including helping to synchronize the subject matter to be delivered, clarifying the subject matter and making it more interesting, making the learning process more interactive, increasing the efficiency of allocating learning time, and improving the quality of learning outcomes (Tafonao, et al al., 2019). The use of teaching media for the teaching and learning process can generate new desires and interests, generate motivation and stimulate learning activities, and even bring psychological influences on students (Waris & Susilo, 2014;Nofitasari, et al, 2021;Sukenda, et al ., 2019;Aroyandini & Aloysius, 2020).
