In the era of increasingly advanced technological development, decision support systems (DSS) play an important role in improving the quality of decision-making in the education sector. The selection staff at SMP Dharma Bakti find it difficult to objectively determine the best academic students because they still use a manual method that is prone to errors. This research aims to design a web-based decision support system that can help selection staff assess and determine their best academic students objectively and quickly. This system is developed using the PHP programming language, MySQL database, LARAVEL 8 framework, and applies the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method within it. This research produces a system that allows the SMP Dharma Bakti Selection Officers to input alternative data, namely student data, determine the weight of criteria and sub-criteria, and view the ranking results automatically, thus greatly facilitating the SMP Dharma Bakti Selection Officers in determining their best academic students.

This research is motivated by the social problems of junior high school children in Panggul Village, Trenggalek, whose parents work as female migrant workers. The children show symptoms of lack of socialization, low self-confidence, and minimal emotional support from their mothers.

Informants consisted of 11 people, namely TKW husbands, substitute families, community leaders, and junior high school children. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that junior high school children in Panggul Village who are left by their parents as TKW have the ability to interact with family, friends, and the community, but tend to have less understanding of the social conditions around them due to their indifference and lack of self-confidence. They are closed, have minimal empathy due to lack of role models from parents, and only show concern for peers. In terms of responsibility, these children have awareness of interacting with family, but still lack overall concern.  

This study aims to improve students' learning outcomes in Social Sciences (IPS) through the implementation of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning model. The background of this study is based on the low learning outcomes of IPS in class VII of SMP Negeri 3 Jakarta, as well as the lack of variations in innovative learning models. The study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method of the Kemmis and McTaggart model which was carried out in two cycles. Each cycle includes the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study were 36 class VII-B students. Data collection techniques used learning outcome tests, observations, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study showed a significant increase in student learning outcomes. In the first cycle, the percentage of students who achieved the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) was 77.77%, increasing to 91.6% in the second cycle. In addition, student activity in learning activities also increased. These results prove that the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning model is able to integrate social studies concepts with real situations, thus facilitating students' understanding and improving the quality of learning.    

Unsignalized intersections are a major point of concern due to the increasing number of vehicles. Bima City is a city located on the eastern part of Sumbawa Island, West Nusa Tenggara Province. As a developing city, congestion and busy traffic often occur on roads or intersections of Mongosidi and Anggrek roads. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the performance and level of service of unsignalized intersections at Mongosidi Street and Anggrek Street. The method used refers to the Indonesian Road Capacity Manual (MKJI) 1997. This study aims to determine the indicators of traffic behavior at unsignalized intersections. The results of the calculation obtained a total flow of 3147 smp / hour, a capacity value (C) of 4234 smp / hour and a degree of saturation (DS) of 0.74, Traffic Delay (DT) of 8.07 sec / smp, intersection delay (D) of 11.73 sec / smp and upper and lower limit queuing opportunities of 44.46% and 17.74% respectively. This condition occurs on Monday, March 17, 2025 at the peak hour of 06.45-07.45 WITA. For the level of service of the intersection pattern, the conditions on Monday, March 17, 2025 at the peak hour of 06.45-07.45 WITA are also categorized as type C, namely stable flow, but the speed and movement of vehicles are controlled.Drivers are limited in choosing speed, with saturation density (Ds) around 0.45 - 0.74.

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) method in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning and its impact on improving critical thinking skills of grade VIII students at SMP Entrepreneur Ar-Ridwan Gunung Tawang Selomerto Wonosobo. The background of this study is based on the needs of 21st century learning that requires students to have critical, collaborative, and communicative thinking skills. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis uses data reduction techniques, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the FGD method has been implemented systematically in PAI learning through the formation of small discussion groups, trigger questions, and presentation of discussion results. The teacher acts as an active facilitator who encourages student participation evenly. The positive impacts of the implementation of FGD include increased active student participation, the ability to convey arguments logically, and the growth of reflective and critical attitudes. However, the implementation of FGD also faces several obstacles such as time constraints, differences in communication skills, and the unequal distribution of student confidence in open discussions. These obstacles are overcome through classroom management strategies such as role rotation, providing discussion training, and habituating a culture of dialogue. Thus, the FGD method has proven effective in improving students' critical thinking skills and forming a collaborative and participatory learning culture.

Adolescence is a critical phase in individual development, especially for adolescent girls who begin to experience menstruation as a sign of reproductive maturity. However, not all adolescents experience menstruation normally; some experience disorders such as menstrual pain, irregular cycles, and prolonged bleeding. This study aims to explore in depth the subjective experiences of adolescent girls with menstrual disorders at SMP Negeri 2 Bunta, Banggai Regency, focusing on the nature of the disorders experienced, their interpretation of these experiences, coping strategies, and the social support received. This study employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. The primary informants were female adolescents in grades VII–IX who had experienced menstrual disorders in the past six months, selected purposively until data saturation was achieved. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, non-participatory observation, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that menstrual disorders are viewed as normal by most informants, despite causing physical discomfort and psychological anxiety. Adolescents' responses to these disorders vary, ranging from the use of warm compresses and medication to no intervention at all. The primary sources of information are mothers and social media, while the roles of teachers and schools remain limited. Social support is most commonly provided by family, although some adolescents also feel supported by peers and teachers. This study emphasizes the importance of systematic reproductive health education, school involvement in supporting adolescents, and the creation of safe and stigma-free discussion spaces regarding menstruation-related issues.
