Technology-enhanced interactive learning in Christian religious education holds great potential for enhancing students' learning motivation and understanding of Christian values. This article discusses the crucial role of Christian Religious Education (CRE) teachers in designing and implementing this approach, as well as the challenges encountered in the process. Interactive learning leverages tools and platforms such as Classpoint, Slido, and other applications to create a dynamic and contemporary learning environment. Teachers are tasked with selecting and adapting Christian religious content that meets students' needs while utilizing interactive features to enhance student engagement. Challenges including limited technology access, inadequate technological skills, and resistance to change are also addressed within the context of technology integration in religious education. By combining technological innovation with appropriate pedagogical approaches, teachers can maximize the potential of interactive learning to create meaningful and effective learning experiences that deepen students' understanding and application of Christian values in everyday life.    

Interactive teaching materials are learning materials that are presented in an interactive form between students and technological systems such as software, applications or websites. Interactive teaching materials are different from conventional teaching materials which are only printed materials or audio-visual materials because they have the ability to interact with students and can be accessed online or offline. The aim of creating interactive educational materials is to improve the quality of the teaching and learning process to be more effective and efficient. Interactive educational materials can help educators manage learning, increase student engagement, and improve learning outcomes. Apart from that, interactive educational materials can also help students increase learning motivation, increase access to information, and improve their ability to communicate with educators. The benefits of using interactive teaching materials for educators are improved classroom management, increased student engagement, and improved learning outcomes. For students, interactive educational materials can improve critical thinking skills and increase the ability to adapt to technological changes. The use of interactive educational materials can also improve communication with educators and increase access to broader and specific information. Interactive teaching materials have great potential in improving the quality of the teaching and learning process and increasing students' abilities in many aspects. Therefore, interactive teaching materials must be an integral part of an effective and efficient learning strategy.

Anxiety in interactive communication refers to an individual's negative reaction when communicating, especially in an interpersonal context, where individuals tend to avoid situations that trigger these negative feelings. Positive self-confidence allows a person to assess themselves and situations more positively, thereby reducing anxiety in interpersonal communication. This study aims to explore the relationship between self-confidence and interactive communication anxiety in female students living in dormitories. Data was collected using the Self-confidence scale and interpersonal communication anxiety scale, which have been well validated and have a high level of reliability. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant negative relationship between self-confidence and interactive communication anxiety (rxy = -0.608, sig. = 0.000 < 0.05), indicating that the higher the female student's self-confidence, the lower the level of interpersonal communication anxiety. Descriptive analysis also shows that most of the female students in the dormitory have a moderate level of self-confidence, while most of them have a low level of interactive communication anxiety.

Population growth in Sidoarjo Regency has increased quite high every year. This then causes an increase in the need for land as residential land to meet the population’s housing needs. To overcome this problem, efforts are needed from the Sidoarjo Regency Government through development planning and development of residential areas.

This research aims to create or design an interactive physics learning media application using MIT App Inventor on GLB and GLBB topics. This research applies the MDLC (Multimedia Development Life Circle) method by Luther-Sutopo in the application creation process. The following stages in MDLC are concept, design, material collecting, assembly, testing, and distribution. The Android application created was tested using two stages in MDLC, namely the alpha validator and beta validator, where the alpha validator consisted of material experts and media experts. In contrast, the beta validator comprised 14 students majoring in first-semester physics education. The analytical approach used is a qualitative method and a quantitative method to assess how appropriate the learning media created is. The research shows the results, namely a) Creation of interactive physics learning media based on Android applications using MIT App Inventor on GLB and GLBB topics, b) The level of feasibility of interactive physics learning applications based on Android applications based on media experts, namely 91% or very feasible, and based on material experts. Namely 90.6% or very feasible, and c) Based on the implementation and results of trials with students, the level of feasibility of the Android-based physics interactive learning application is 84.46% or worthy of being an alternative reference source for physics learning on GLB and GLBB topics.    

Biology learning, particularly the topic of the classification of living organisms, is often considered difficult and boring by some students. To address this challenge, a more engaging and interactive approach is needed. One effective solution is to utilize game-based technology, such as Wordwall, which allows students to actively learn through various educational games. This study aims to enhance student engagement in learning the classification of living organisms using interactive Wordwall games. Through a community service method, this activity involved teachers and students from several schools to integrate Wordwall as a learning tool. The interactive games provided by Wordwall include various types of activities, such as puzzles, quizzes, and matching games, designed to help students better understand the concepts of classification of living organisms. The implementation of this program is expected to improve student motivation, involvement, and understanding of the material. Furthermore, it is hoped that the use of this technology will provide a more enjoyable learning experience and increase the effectiveness of classroom learning. The evaluation conducted shows a significant improvement in student engagement, as well as a better understanding of the material compared to traditional teaching methods.
