This study is focused on exploring the strengths and weaknesses of the cooperative learning method in EFL classes according to 2 teachers' and 25 students’ perspectives. The data were collected from interviews, observation, and documentation. The interview data is collected by direct questioning. The findings were categorized into teachers' and students’ perspectives, which state that cooperative learning can facilitate teachers in teaching students effectively and make students able to gain self-confidence and motivation. However, the finding also revealed that cooperative learning is still lacking in managing the abilities of students who are not evenly distributed. The results showed that cooperative learning has both trade-offs in the classroom. Students feel more open to expressing their ideas, making the classroom atmosphere less monotonous and students more enthusiastic about learning. Teachers, on the other hand, feel helped when the material presented requires complicated explanations. Both students and teachers are more comfortable with a variety of methods, considering that cooperative learning has many different strategies that can be implemented by students. On the other hand, students and teachers also feel the problems of the method. It will be discussed further.

Limited land availability poses a challenge for urban communities interested in developing fish farming activities. As the years go by, the increasing population leads to a scarcity of land in urban areas, which can hinder the development of fish farming activities by limiting access to natural resources. One solution to overcome land limitations in fish farming is the use of the bucket fish farming method. This method efficiently utilizes limited space and is cost-effective, allowing for fish farming in urban environments, such as at SDN Kauman 1 in Blitar City. This creative innovation involves students and the community in fish farming activities using buckets, with the goals of environmental education, practical learning, and skill development for students. The objective of this community service activity is to provide guidance on understanding and effectively implementing bucket fish farming (Budidamber) in a sustainable manner. The methods used include socialization, preparation, and implementation. It is expected that this journal will contribute positively to supporting local food resilience and environmental conservation at SDN Kauman 1 in Blitar City and its surrounding community.

This study aims to determine how learning motivation in adolescents whom single mothers raise. This research method used qualitative methods with a case study approach. The research respondents were three adolescent single mothers in Purworejo Regency who were selected using a purposive sampling technique with the provision of single mothers. The results of the descriptive analysis show that adolescents who were cared for by single mothers experience problems related to learning motivation. The specific problems experienced by the three respondents were motivation and interest in learning. The lack of a mother's role in providing learning motivation affects students' low motivation to study toward their learning achievement. Based on the research results, the three respondents have different characteristics. Respondents have a high curiosity for new things. The lack of curiosity in respondents with low curiosity is due to inhibiting factors that make respondents lack interest in learning. The high level of creativity in correcting failures and mastery of learning materials owned by the three respondents had an optimistic impact on the learning process and outcomes. The lack of sympathy from the closest people, especially the mother, made the respondents indifferent to the learning outcomes they achieved, so laziness and decreased interest in learning arose in the respondents. Lack of control over study hours makes respondents often ignore study time and choose to play on their gadgets, decreasing student learning scores/achievement.

The method or strategy in the learning process is something that is important to support the success of learning objectives. Some educational institutions still apply the classical learning model so that educators feel they are still in a comfortable condition in carrying out the learning process. Meanwhile, nowadays the demands of the curriculum and the development of science and technology greatly affect the learning process. Educators should use learning models that make students more creative, think critically, be active and be able to develop ideas in their own way. This of course can improve student learning outcomes. As for the results of this study, it can be concluded that the Active learning model applied at MTs Khoirotul Islamiyah, Pematangsintar City, is manifested in several components that influence each other, namely learning objectives, selection of learning methods and media that are appropriate to the content/subject matter as well as teachers and students. These components are designed so that in practice students are more active in learning. This strategy is applied to make it easy for students to know, understand, appreciate, and apply the material conveyed by the teacher in student life, so that the goals of studying economics can be realized. There are two supporting factors for the implementation of Active learning in Economics learning including; teacher professionalism, facilities and infrastructure. Meanwhile, there are two factors that hinder the realization of Active learning strategies in Economics learning, namely: the teacher's lack of preparation in planning learning scenarios and the lack of student motivation due to different backgrounds, such as the social environment, cultural environment, learning styles, economic conditions and level of intelligence.
