In the teaching-learning process a teacher sometimes meet a difficulties or obstacles in delivering material to students. Besides that, they are also required to adjust their teaching methods in accordance with the changing times. It required an innovative learning to enhance students' motivation in learning. Cocroft Report (1982: 132) recommends that at every level of education, learning should provide opportunities for teachers to use the choice of teaching methods that are tailored to students' ability level. In the innovation of learning, a teacher have to think creatively (doesn’t depend on guide books) and take more attention on the development of students' potential and student’s cognitive aspects, according to Ebbutt and Straker (1995: 60-75) assumptions about the characteristics of the subjects students and implications for learning is given as follows:
1. Students will learn if they have the motivation
The implications of this view are: to provide fun activities, pay attention to students' desires, creating a classroom atmosphere that supports learning, valuing every achievement of students, etc.
2. Students studying in its own way
The implications of this view are: students learn in different ways and at different speeds, each student requires special experience, every student has adifferent socio-economic backgrounds, different cultures. Therefore teachers need: (1) know the advantages and disadvantages of their students, (2) plan activities appropriate to the level of student ability, (3) build the knowledge and skills that he acquired a good student at school and at home, (4) using record student progress (assessment).
3. Students learn both independently and in collaboration with his friend
The implications of this view for the business teachers are: to train cooperation, giving the opportunity to exchange ideas, provide an opportunity for students to study independently, etc.
4. Students need the context and the different situations in the study.
The implications of this view for the business teachers are: provide and use various props, giving the opportunity to learn in different places and circumstances, etc.
If these four things have been going well, it will display an attitude. Attitude is an individual's readiness to react or feel towards the object of psychology trend that is positive or negative attitudes. If students respond with a positive attitude, it’s means a teacher can be said to succeed in learning innovation. Furthermore, to be considered is the aspect of psychomotor development. A teacher have to know the student's skills in solving problems. Each student is given the opportunity to solve the problem in their own way.
