Learning discrete mathematics, particularly on the topic of equivalence in propositional logic using propositional algebra laws, often presents challenges for students due to its abstract nature and the logical thinking skills required. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using ChatGPT as a learning aid to enhance students' understanding of this topic. The research employed a quantitative method with a post-test only control group design, involving two groups of students: an experimental group using ChatGPT and a control group utilizing conventional learning methods. Data were collected through a post-learning achievement test. The results showed that the average score of the experimental group (85.47) was significantly higher than that of the control group (66.78). The independent t-test results yielded a significance value of < 0.05, indicating a significant difference in learning outcomes between the two groups. Furthermore, the calculation of Cohen's d showed a value of 0.959, categorized as a large effect size. These findings indicate that the use of ChatGPT as a learning aid has a significant impact on students' learning outcomes. With its interactive and responsive features, ChatGPT helps students grasp complex propositional logic material more easily. This study recommends utilizing AI-based technologies like ChatGPT as an innovative learning strategy, particularly for abstract topics in discrete mathematics.

This research is motivated by the learning process of Catholic religious education in the classroom experienced as only for the sake of cognitive formation that is done simply. Cognitive formation is not an easy thing to do, but requires a strategy for the achievement of maximum learning outcomes. In reality, in the learning process, students follow more, so that their cognition is getting weaker. In this case, Jerome S. Brunner suggests that, cognitive theory becomes very important in achieving educational goals, including in Catholic religious education. Meanwhile, the purpose of this research is that students can achieve good mental or cognitive quality, not just intelligence alone. The method used in this research is the literature review method. The results of this study are first, cognitive learning theory is a theory in which it states that the learning process takes precedence over the learning outcomes. Second, the active participation of individuals in the cognitive process is the basis for achieving the learning objectives of Catholic religion. Third, Catholic religious teachers as facilitators who motivate and evaluate students in the learning process of Catholic religious education. Fourth, Catholic religious teachers can use Bruner's cognitive theory for the application of Catholic religious education learning in the classroom.

Education is the foundation for developing high-quality human resources. Students' academic success is influenced by internal factors, such as study habits, and external factors, such as social support. Study habits include time management, reading, and structured learning strategies, while social support involves attention, recognition, and assistance from family, friends, and the academic environment. This study aims to analyze the influence of study habits and social support on the academic achievement of students at Universitas PGRI Wiranegara. A quantitative research method with a causal-comparative design was employed. A sample of 93 active students from the 2021-2023 cohorts was selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected through validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using simple linear regression. The results revealed that study habits and social support simultaneously contributed significantly to academic achievement. Study habits had a greater impact compared to social support. Social support creates a conducive learning environment, strengthens motivation, and enhances students' comfort in completing academic tasks. However, structured and disciplined study habits remain the key to academic success. These findings underscore the importance of developing effective study habits, such as time management and the use of effective learning methods, alongside strengthening social support to achieve optimal academic outcomes. Collaborative efforts between individuals, families, and educational institutions are essential.

In this study, the goal is to compare the academic results of economics students from Pasuruan Public Secondary School 3 classes, which use the PBL learning model, inquiry-based learning and discovery-based learning. Consistent with the description of unequal groups, this study used an experimental methodology that included three types of trials, each using a unique teaching model. An analysis of the pretest and posttest results was carried out to identify possible differences in the academic performance of the students. Although several teaching models were implemented, The findings showed that there was no significant difference in academic performance across the three groups. The Kruskal-Wallis test produces an Asymp value. signature. of 0.274, which means there is no significant difference between learning models. Therefore, the application of the PBL, inquiry and discovery learning model can be said to have no significant effect on student academic achievement.
