Then the results of observations, experiments and interviews were compared with literature studies. Conclution to this studies is combining 2 or more teaching methods in teaching action produced a pleasant classroom atmosphere and made the training participants enthusiastic in achieving maximum learning outcomes, and define the relation of the learning method, the learning material, Participants Chraacter and Time of implementation.
