Teachers' skills in opening and closing lessons have an important role in creating an effective and conducive learning atmosphere, especially in supporting the development of children's creativity.

Teachers who are skilled in this aspect are able to create interesting, interactive and meaningful learning experiences, thus supporting the development of children's creativity to face future challenges.

Abstract. Semiotic analysis of advertising aims to uncover the hidden meanings behind visual and textual elements presented in promotional content. This study explores the semiotic features in smartphone advertising, focusing on Oppo as a case study. This study uses a comparative framework to analyze the similarities and differences between Oppo advertising and competing brands. The analysis is conducted through Charles Sanders Peirce's triadic model, consisting of representamen, object, and interpretant, as well as Roland Barthes' concepts of denotation and connotation. This study identifies symbolic, iconic, and indexical signs used in Oppo advertising to build brand identity and attract target audiences. Key findings reveal how visual elements, color schemes, and slogans emphasize innovation, premium quality, and emotional connection. Comparative insights highlight Oppo's differentiation strategies, such as integrating cultural nuances and leveraging aspirational imagery, to strengthen its market position. The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of how semiotic strategies influence consumer perception and purchasing behavior, as well as provide practical implications for marketers and advertisers. This study bridges the gap between semiotic theory and its application in modern advertising, providing a comprehensive perspective on the power of signs in shaping brand narratives.

This research aims to determine the benefits of assessing attitudes (affective) in Islamic religious education (PAI) lessons in elementary schools. This research uses a qualitative method which aims to gain a deeper understanding of the use of attitude (affective) assessment in Islamic religious education (PAI) lessons in elementary schools. So, the data collection method used uses previous research data, then the data is analyzed using data obtained from relevant sources. After previous research has been analyzed, the conclusion of this research is that although behavioral assessment requires students to behave in accordance with Islamic values, their behavior often does not go well. Teachers tend to focus on skills assessment and face difficulties in creating clear and consistent assessment tools. To overcome this problem, more efforts need to be made to assess the importance of assessment by using assessment and testing tools. Additionally, behavioral assessments should be included in the report card and not just as a formality. In this way, it is hoped that the PAI learning process can be more meaningful and contribute to the formation of students' character as a whole.

Complex social problems, such as blasphemy, often arise as a result of social plurality. Time pressure can make the legal system no longer subjective in such situations. If protests continue, the punishment imposed on those deemed to have committed blasphemy will be increasingly severe. Cases of blasphemy have increased in recent times. When some people easily say that such an attitude is blasphemy, the author was moved to investigate and analyze the verses in the Qur'an related to blasphemy using their understanding of classical, medieval, and contemporary interpretations. This qualitative research uses a comparative approach. The author uses Tafsir Jami' al-Bayan'an Ta'wil ai al-Qur'an, Tafsir al-Jami' li Ahkam Al-Qur'an, and Tafsir al-Munir from Wahbah az-Zuhailîy as primary data sources, and books related to blasphemy are used as secondary data sources. The data were studied using deductive-comparative methods. This study shows that some words are involved in the discussion of blasphemy when compared to its general meaning, although the Qur'an does not mention the word "blasphemy" explicitly. This study shows that al-Qurthubîy and Wahbah az-Zuhailîy interpret behavior related to blasphemy in the same way, as does ath-Thabarîy, although ath-Thabarîy does not always mention the details of the behavior. Since the interpretations of the three are almost the same so far, these differences do not have much impact on the author's work. In terms of blasphemy, every example mentioned by the three commentators is a behavior that can be said to be fatal. Therefore, society must be careful and careful in dealing with problems, especially those related to blasphemy, so that slanderous behavior can be prevented and prevented.

In Islam, dressing is not merely a matter of appearance, but also related to religious teachings that emphasize the importance of covering the aurat, maintaining modesty, and preserving honor.

Interpretation of the Qur'an is an effort to understand Allah's verses through various methods, including tafsir bil-ma'tsur, tafsir bil-ra'yi, and tafsir Isyari. Tafsir bil-ma'tsur relies on the Qur'an, hadith, and the understanding of the companions and the tabi'in, carrying strong authority but not without critique regarding the authenticity of its chains of narration and the potential inclusion of Israiliyat. Tafsir bil-ra'yi employs reason and logic, divided into commendable interpretations that adhere to the principles of Quranic exegesis and blameworthy interpretations that often deviate from Islamic law. Meanwhile, tafsir Isyari offers a symbolic and esoteric approach, requiring strict conditions to ensure relevance and alignment with the apparent meaning of the verses. Although scholars have differing opinions regarding the validity of these interpretative methods, they collectively reflect the intellectual richness of Islam in interpreting the Qur'an to meet the spiritual and intellectual needs of the community across different contexts and eras.
