Flip Chart Media
1.      Definition of Flip Chart
              Chart is a sheet of information in the form of a table, graph, or diagram (Oxford Dictionary). Charts are images or graphs that expand the development of ideas, objects, institutions or people in terms of time and space. Chart is used to present a large amount of information, through many data charts at once can be presented gradually, the chart can show a number of activities in a certain period according to the time set. Meanwhile, according to Nana Sudjana chart is a combination of graphics media with photo images designed to logically and regularly visualize facts or limitations.

Chart is a visual media which function is to present visually to the ideas (concepts) those are complicated when only delivered in writing or verbal. Chart is  effective for presenting messages in the form of summaries of key points of a presentation. Its existence can be accompanied by pictures or writing (Mustaji : 1996)

              While the flip chart presents any information. If the sequence of information to be presented is difficult to show in a sheet, so the flip chart can be used.

              Parts of the message are written/poured in separate sheets, then the sheets are bundled together. Its use is flipped one by one according to the chart of the message to be presented (Sadiman : 2006). The messages which delivered using this flip chart usually form a visual summary of a process, development or important relationships.

              According to Arif Sadiman, et al (1986), suggests that the chart is a good medium if: 
can be understood by the student, simple and uncomplicated or complicated tasks, and
replaced at certain times in order to remain in addition (up to date) also do not lose attraction
(Asnawir : 2002)

3.      The Requirements for Making Flip Chart Media
 
Need to pay attention to some design principles, according to Nana Sudjana (2001: 20), 
they are:
 
Ø  Simplicity. In layout, it should be clear that the difference between the foreground and
 the background and the key elements are highlighted, so the students' attention is centered
 on the core idea/core of the lesson.
 
Ø  Integration. There is a close relationship between the various visual elements so that 
the whole function is integrated.
 
Ø  Emphasis. Focus on a single element that requires attention and interest of students.
 
Ø  Balance. Placement or layout of the image or writing evenly on the chart.
 
Ø  Line. In visual messages serves to connect the various elements together and directs
 the observer in learning the visual elements in specific sequences.
 
Ø  Shape. Should be considered in designing instructional media, an unusual form can pay 
special attention to the visual media.
 
Ø  Space. It is an important visual element in designing instructional media.
 
Ø  Texture. It is a visual element that allows the appearance of a rough or smooth appearance 
of a surface.
 
Ø  Color. Choose colors that seem harmonious. Avoid using the colors yellow, pink, or orange. 
These are extremely difficult the students to see. Avoid using too many colors. Using one dark 
color and one accent color works best.
