Today's students, often referred to as the digital generation, tend to be more interested and responsive to interactive and visual learning media. However, traditional teaching methods that tend to be monotonous are often unable to fulfil students' learning needs and interests. Therefore, innovation in learning approaches is necessary. One of the innovative solutions in learning media development is the use of graphic design applications such as Canva. With its user-friendly features, Canva allows teachers to create more dynamic and interesting teaching materials, which in turn can increase students' motivation and understanding of the values taught in Islamic Religious Education and Budi Pekerti. The development method or R&D using the ADDIE model is a learning design model that provides an organised process in the construction of teaching materials that can be used in both face-to-face and online learning. The use of learning media that suits students' needs not only increases their attention to the lesson, but also provides a comprehensive learning experience, reinforces a thorough understanding of the material, and encourages students' active involvement in the learning process. Thus, students have greater opportunities to develop their creativity and potential in a supportive learning environment. Learning media plays an important role in improving student learning outcomes by providing an engaging and efficient teaching-learning process. It allows students to understand the subject matter more easily, increases learning efficiency in accordance with the learning objectives, and improves their concentration and motivation.

Interesting learning media can make the learning atmosphere less boring and can improve learning outcomes. The aim of this research was to develop the learning media Snakes and Ladders, which is one of the most famous types of board games throughout the world, for high school (SMA) students as a learning tool that is expected to be valid, effective and practical to use in the learning process. learning Trigonometry material. This research method uses Research Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model which is built in 5 stages: Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluate. The subjects of this research were 40 active class X students at SMAN 93 Jakarta. This snake and ladder was developed based on student learning styles. The "Snakes and Ladders" board game was declared a valid learning medium by material and media experts, with an extraordinary category of 94% and 86%. The research results show that the practicality index obtained is in the very good category (96%) and the significance result of the paired t-test is 0.000 (less than 0.005) supported by the average posttest value being higher than the pretest. Based on this development research, it can be concluded that the "Snake and Ladder" board game media developed is valid, practical and effective for the learning process as a learning tool, especially for high school students on Trigonometry material.

The process of manually identifying fruits to determine ripe and unripe can affect the production and quality of the food and beverages themselves. The CNN method is able to group images and analyze images based on objects. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research using the CNN method on the ripeness of strawberries. This study aims to determine the level of maturity of strawberries during harvest time. The accuracy graph shows that the model is not only capable of learning the training data well but can also generalize well to the validation data. In contrast, the validation accuracy graph starts from 0.825 in the 0th epoch and rises consistently until it reaches 0.975 in the 30th epoch. Both charts remained stable above those values throughout the training period. Overall, the development of the CNN model for the detection of strawberry ripeness resulted in excellent performance. The model achieved the lowest loss of 0.0383 and an accuracy as high as 98% on the validation data, demonstrating a strong ability to accurately predict between ripe and unripe strawberries.

In the dynamic digital era, artificial intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT presents revolutionary opportunities to advance classroom learning, particularly in science education. This research focuses on the utilization of ChatGPT to develop a learning model that supports the enhancement of students' Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) abilities. The study investigates four main aspects: (1) How can student-centered science learning improve SRL skills such as goal setting, self-management, and reflection? (2) How can the use of active and collaborative learning strategies in science increase students' motivation and SRL? (3) How can formative and summative assessments focused on developing SRL skills enhance science learning? (4) What are the researchers' experiences in using ChatGPT as a tool to develop and refine learning units, and their reflective research on its use as a teaching aid? An exploratory methodology was applied, utilizing ChatGPT to generate teaching materials tailored to classroom needs. Initial findings highlight ChatGPT's potential to support the development of SRL skills by providing quick access to structured and verified information. However, its use must be carefully managed to prevent over-reliance and ensure critical evaluation of sources.

Teacher 4.0 is a concept of future educators created to explain the characteristics of educators who can handle various technologies with effective teaching in parallel with the transformation of Education 4.0. Readiness and acceptance of the use of various smart technologies, better known as Technology 4.0 experienced a large-scale shift in the national education system, especially in teaching and learning methods. This includes all levels from primer to higher education institutions. The transformation of 4.0 requires improvement in teachers' competency to enhance teaching and to ensure it is in line with the country’s objective in producing highly competitive, innovative educators and students in the era of 4.0. The need for a measurement tool is important due to the lack of research conducted to test the competence of Teacher 4.0. Thus, this study was conducted to measure the competence of Teacher 4.0 by creating a new instrument adapted from the DigCompEdu model. Appropriate constructs were validated and hypotheses were tested using PLS-SEM approach to evaluate the contribution of each construct towards Teacher 4.0 competency. The sample used in this study involves 274 among MARA teachers’ pre-university institutions across Malaysia. A total of three formative constructs were identified, namely teaching and learning, assessment and facilitating students' Technology 4.0 competence. Questionnaires were distributed to respondents using purposive sampling and the data obtained was analyzed using SEM-PLS software. The results of the analysis show that all constructs have passed sufficient convergent validity. Hypothesis verification analysis shows that all constructs have a positive contribution towards Teacher 4.0 competency. Overall, this study has created a new measurement instrument that can measure the competence of Teacher 4.0 and improvised the DigCompEdu model. Findings can be a reflection indicator for teachers to improve teaching methods and strategies in addition to developing existing competencies. The problems arising from this study can be indicators for educational institutions to ensure that the facilities and infrastructure required for Technology 4.0 can be expanded in line with their needs as an educational support tool.

Abstract. This study examines the application of Agile Management principles in online learning platforms, focusing on the challenges and benefits experienced during implementation. Through qualitative research, including interviews and case studies, the research explores how platforms have adopted Agile practices, such as iterative cycles, regular feedback, and flexibility, to enhance responsiveness and adaptability. The findings reveal that the majority of platforms have integrated Agile principles, with a significant focus on overcoming challenges like resistance to change and a lack of training. Participants reported improved collaboration, increased efficiency, and the ability to respond to changes effectively. However, challenges remain, including the need for hybrid models combining Agile with traditional management frameworks. This study contributes valuable insights into the effectiveness of Agile practices in educational technology and offers directions for future research on enhancing Agile implementation in diverse educational settings.
