Learning is "a mental activity / psychic that takes place in an active interaction with the environment, which resulted in changes - changes in knowledge, understanding, skills and value attitudes" (quoted Mandalika Winkel et al, 1995: 24).

Sam Isbani and Sardjono states studied are: "... .. as behavior change due to experience and practice. Change is not only familiar with the amount of knowledge but also in the form of skills, habits, attitudes understanding, appreciation, interest and adjustment to, or shaped all aspects of an organism or a private person "(Isbani & Sardjono, 1985: 30). Other experts expressed the sense of learning is: "a mental process that leads to the acquisition of knowledge, skills / skill, habits or attitudes" (Winataputra quoting Winkel, 1997: 5:15). Understanding study stated above it can be concluded, learning is a process of physical and mental activity marked a change in behavior, knowledge, skills, values ​​and attitudes in a positive direction on the self-learner. In this thesis, the individual who becomes the object of research. After doing the study could result in changes in the knowledge mastery learning achievement of positive / good learning outcomes.

According Suryabrata cited Muhari (1983: 25) learning achievement was last achieved learning outcomes as well as possible in a given period of time in school. Soemarsono (1986: 18) provides a definition of learning achievement is realizing the value of student learning outcomes are achieved according to their ability in doing the task at a given time.
