This study concludes that the implementation of multicultural counseling is an effective way to create a fair learning environment and respect linguistic diversity.

This study aims to analyze production performance and the factors influencing the productivity of mining operations at PT. XYZ during August 2025. The evaluation covers production achievement against the corporate work plan (RKAP) and the owner’s operational plan, equipment availability (Physical Availability), the productivity of loading and hauling units, and various types of loss time that reduce effective working hours. The results indicate that production realization reached only 65% of the RKAP target, while achieving 102% of the owner’s plan for total material. Low equipment availability, high loss time such as no hauler, wait operator, and front preparation, as well as the underperformance of 80-ton and 100-ton units, were identified as the main contributors to production deviation. Additional influencing factors include unit reassignment, suboptimal haul road conditions, and insufficient operational fleet numbers. The study recommends optimizing fleet management, enhancing preventive and predictive maintenance programs, reorganizing hauling workflows, and controlling dominant loss time sources to improve operational efficiency and production target achievement in future periods.

The era of globalization is an era of quality competition, where only thosebwith high competence will be able to compete in the free market. Therefore, developing high-quality human resources is something that cannot be compromised. Education that supports development in this era is education that can foster students’ potential’ enabling them toface and overcome life’s challenges. Thus, in the learning process, teachers should not only serve as models or sources of knowledge but also act as learning managers. As learning managers, teachers play an important role in creating a learning environment that allows students to learn confortably and effectively. Based on observations at SMA Negeri 2 Taniwel, it was found that students in class X-2 have low learning outcomes in sociology. The writer’s observation in class indicated that sociology learning was dominated by lecture methods, resulting in students being less active during the learning process. According to research conducted by Al Muchtar (1991), learning in social studies education does not sufficiently simulate students to be actively involved in the learning process. Furthermore, the teaching and learning process of social studies carried out bye teachers has not been able to faster a learning culture among students, wich in turn significantly affects their learning achievement and outcomes. To support active learning strategies, teachers can apply various relevant learning models. Therefore, the learning process will become more varied, innovative, and constructive, creating interaction between teachers and students, among students themselves, and between students and other learning resources.

This study aims to comprehensively describe the implementation of differentiated learning in classroom management and analyze its impact on students’ learning outcomes, particularly in mathematics subjects. The research method employed is a literature review by examining various scholarly sources such as national and international journals, educational textbooks, and relevant research articles. The findings indicate that differentiated learning is a pedagogical approach that places students at the center of the learning process by accommodating individual differences in terms of readiness, interests, and learning styles. This approach has proven effective in enhancing students’ motivation, active engagement, and conceptual understanding of mathematical content. Although its implementation presents several challenges, including classroom management complexity, time constraints, and limited learning resources, numerous studies report significant improvements in post-test scores, learning activities, and overall learning achievement following the application of differentiated learning strategies. Therefore, differentiated learning can serve as a strategic solution to create an inclusive, adaptive, and learner-centered educational environment, ultimately improving the quality of teaching and learning, especially in mathematics education.

The limited competence of Junior High School (SMP) teachers in Magelang City in developing contextual textbooks is a key issue hindering the achievement of locally relevant learning. Teachers primarily rely on commercial textbooks that often lack accommodation for specific regional issues and lack guidelines for independent writing. This community service aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of SMP teachers in Magelang City in compiling textbooks that meet the standards of the Merdeka Curriculum and include local content. The method employed was participatory training combined with blended mentoring over six weeks, involving 30 teachers from five schools representing various general subjects. The implementation began with a theoretical workshop on standard textbook structure, followed by intensive mentoring sessions. The results indicate a significant increase in participants' understanding of the textbook framework, with 90% of teachers independently capable of creating concept maps and chapter outlines. Crucially, 75% of participants successfully produced at least one draft chapter of a textbook rich in local content (history, culture, and geography of Magelang). This success not only increases the professional capacity of teachers but also directly impacts the availability of more relevant and specific learning resources for students, supporting the contextual implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum.
