Being a teacher is a noble task because it has an important role in educating the nation and shaping the character of the new generation, because the micro teaching program is important to prepare students to become professional educators. This article aims to examine the Role of Field Supervisors in Increasing the Effectiveness of the Micro Teaching Program of the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, Al-Qur'an Science University, Wonosobo. The study was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method on 35 DPLs who guided 409 students in the micro teaching program. The results of the study indicate that DPLs have an important role in the effectiveness of the microteaching program by coordinating planning, implementation and reporting with the Committee, Faculty, and students, in order to ensure a significant impact for each party. In addition, student readiness and involvement appear as mediators in this relationship. These findings influence students and universities to try to enrich learning methods and strategies. Future studies can explore additional variables that further optimize the impact of multiple approaches and micro teaching on students' readiness to undergo the PPL program.

Learning motivation is a key factor in students' academic success. This study aims to analyze the effect of intrinsic rewards, extrinsic rewards, and punishments on elementary school students' learning motivation. Using the literature review method, this research examines various literatures related to the application of reward and punishment strategies in education. The results show that appropriately given rewards can enhance both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in students. Intrinsic rewards, such as a sense of achievement and self-pride, encourage students to continue learning and develop independently, while extrinsic rewards, such as praise or gifts, provide external incentives that reinforce student motivation. On the other hand, punishments applied wisely can instill discipline and improve students' learning focus. However, rewards are found to be more effective in increasing student motivation compared to punishments, as rewards create a positive and enjoyable learning environment. Punishments, if overused or applied inappropriately, can negatively affect student motivation and lead to stress or fear. This study also shows that a combination of both approaches—rewards and punishments—when applied in the right balance, can produce optimal results in supporting students' academic development. These findings provide important implications for educators in designing effective learning strategies to enhance students' learning motivation, as well as the importance of a balanced and thoughtful approach to students' needs and characteristics.

The results of this study show that using interactive learning through wordwall increases students' participation and enthusiasm compared with traditional learning methods. These findings suggest that the integration of technology into education has a positive effect on student motivation, reducing boredom and enhances the learning process.

This study aims to identify the problems of learning methods of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) in grade IV students of SDN 060866. The results showed that conventional teacher-centered learning methods were still dominant, causing low student interest and learning outcomes. Most students have not reached the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) with a percentage of completeness of only 25%. Teachers face obstacles such as lack of student interest, a less conducive learning environment, and limitations in applying innovative learning methods. To overcome this, teachers plan to implement project-based learning methods that are more interactive and relevant to students' daily lives. This study concludes that more varied and student-centered learning strategies are needed to improve students' motivation and learning outcomes.

This study examines the Arabic language learning strategies at MTs Nurul Istifadah Gebangan, focusing on the implementation of audio-visual methods, educational games, and digital learning applications. The research employs a qualitative approach through interviews with the Principal (Sulhan Wahyudi), Vice Principal for Curriculum (Misbahus Sudur), Arabic Language Teacher (Muslihatul Ilfah), and a 10th-grade student (Budianto). The findings reveal that the audio-visual method enhances students’ comprehension and pronunciation through interactive videos, songs, and recorded conversations. Educational games, such as Arabic Scrabble and role-playing, make learning more engaging and boost students' motivation. The use of digital applications like Duolingo Arabic and Nahwu Shorof enables flexible learning both inside and outside the classroom. This study concludes that a combination of technology-based strategies and active interaction can improve students' interest and understanding of the Arabic language. As a recommendation, the school should further develop the use of AI-based media and blended learning methods to enhance learning effectiveness.
