Abstract

This article includes the findings of previous research based on (1) educational media, (2) prosocial media, and (3) the methods regarding the use of entertainment media for education. To incorporate media in classroom could help increase students’ learning motivation, heighten class performance, and improve learning process. Entertainment media such as films and animated films should be used, since most students have prior preference which is a positive source for enhancing their learning motivation. The instructors could assign the students to analyze the media, which will result in the development of their thinking skills. Students may rewrite the plot by removing the violence and increasing the prosocial message. Moreover, the instructors should use the same social network sites or applications as their students and perform themselves as the fans of media which the students like. This will help the students identify with their instructors and their learning motivation will be maximized. As the results of this, this process could benefit the students in various aspects in both classroom context and their future career.
