This is caused by several factors in teaching and learning activities which are not optimally implemented by teaching staff or lecturers. Lecturers have a very important role in achieving the success of their students or students.

In situations like this, creativity is needed from a lecturer or teaching staff to stimulate student activity in participating in the learning process so that the learning process does not only go in one direction but there is reciprocity between lecturers and students. In order for learning to occur in a class where students are actively involved, the lecturer or teacher must use an interactive model or method such as using a cooperative model.
