Based on the observations that have been made, it is shown that students' mathematical communication skills are still relatively low so that an innovative learning model is needed to improve students' mathematical communication skills. This study aims to see whether the improvement in students' mathematical communication skills taught with the Two Stay Two Stray cooperative learning model is higher than the mathematical communication skills of students taught with the Think Pair Share cooperative learning model and to see how the improvement in mathematical communication skills taught with the two models. This study is a study that is included in the quasi-experimental category with a pretest-posttest control group design. The subjects in this study were 62 students in grades VIII-A and VIII-E of SMP Negeri 4 Balige. Based on the research that has been done, the results of the N-Gain test were obtained with an average N-Gain value in experimental class 1, namely 0.813 in accordance with the Gain index criteria in the high category and the average N-Gain value in experimental class 2, namely 0.693 in accordance with the Gain index criteria in the medium category. Based on the research that has been done, because the data is normally distributed and homogeneous, the hypothesis test is carried out using the t-test. Through the t-test that has been done, it was obtained that , namely 2.465>2.000. Therefore  is rejected, which means that the increase in mathematical communication skills of students taught with the Two Stay Two Stray cooperative learning model is higher than those taught with the Think Pair Share cooperative learning model.

The purpose of this research was to produce a worksheet based on problem-based learning that would enhance students' ability to communicate mathematically when working with number pattern content.

Since the introduction of ChatGPT as artificial intelligence and its massive development over the years, it has had a huge impact on various aspects of life, and it is increasingly visible in the presence of increasingly advanced features, functions, and appearances. Its use in the field of education has not escaped the advancement of artificial intelligence. For some teachers and students, the term artificial intelligence is still very new, as is its use in the teaching and learning process. Currently, Indonesia's use of artificial intelligence faces numerous unavoidable obstacles and challenges. However, in global education, it is becoming increasingly common to use artificial intelligence in the teaching and learning process. The introduction of artificial intelligence to junior high school students is considered very appropriate because students' psychology at this level is more developed, and the learning load begins to increase compared to the elementary level. Math subjects for most students are still a scourge. In this community service, artificial intelligence is introduced to students of the exchange program class at SMP Insan Rabbany, which is related to mathematics learning, so that it can help in student learning. The results of the community service evaluation showed high student enthusiasm regarding the use of artificial intelligence, both to aid learning and for other purposes.

Geologically, Indonesia is located along the Ring of Fire, a volcanic line that surrounds the Pacific Ocean, making Indonesia a vulnerable country and has the potential to experience natural disasters.

The new student enrollment process at SMP MIFTAHURROHMAN faces various challenges in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. The current manual process often leads to delays and errors, and fails to meet enrollment targets. To address these issues, we developed a web-based application designed to facilitate the enrollment of new students. This application allows students to register online, upload supporting documents, and print registration receipts. The system is built using the waterfall method and technologies such as PHP, MySQL, and the CodeIgniter framework. Both students and school administrators can monitor and manage registration data in real-time. The implementation of this application is expected to make the new student enrollment process faster, more accurate, and transparent, thereby improving operational efficiency and user satisfaction. This research shows that the developed application effectively addresses the existing problems and provides significant benefits for the school.  

This research is motivated by a learning system that only focuses on teachers and books, with no sound, images or videos to support the activity of writing descriptive text. This research aims to determine the influence that occurs before and after using Biteable media on the ability to write descriptive text for class VII students. The competency standards to be achieved in this research are in the 2013 curriculum with KD 3.2 and 4.2. This research uses an experimental method with a one group design with data collection through observation, interviews, and administering pre-tests and post-tests. This research was conducted at Jambi Medan Private Middle School with class VII-A as the sample class used. Based on the research results, it can be seen that the pre-test score (before treatment) was 57.2 and the post-test score (after treatment) was 80.4. Based on the results of calculations that have been carried out using the t test, the value of tcount = 5.51 is obtained. After tcount is known, this value will then be consulted at a significance level of α = 0.05 and n = 29, obtained ttable = 2.045. Thus, it can be concluded that tcount > ttable, namely 5.51 > 2.045, so the alternative hypothesis (Hα) is accepted.

Bullying in linguistic terms is bullying, which means disturbing and causing trouble. Bullying is an act that violates human rights, and currently, bullying cases are a hot topic being discussed in various media. Bullying is a serious act that affects children all over the world, including in Indonesia. Formal educational institutions, especially schools, are often places where bullying behaviour occurs. This phenomenon is not only limited to the lower middle school level, but upper middle school students are also not free from this act of bullying. In this context, junior high school students have begun to form groups and interact with their peers, making them more vulnerable to bullying. Therefore, the aim of this community service activity is to increase the knowledge of junior high school students, especially in class VIII at the Khairul Imam Medan Integrated Islamic Middle School, about bullying behavior. Educational activities were carried out three times, which included preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. This education has benefits in efforts to prevent and detect early bullying behaviour in junior high school students, especially at Khairul Imam Integrated Islamic Middle School, Medan. Following the implementation of educational activities, we can conclude that students who were previously unaware of bullying now understand the concept and strategies to prevent it. The hope is that after this community service activity, the school and other related parties can take steps to prevent and detect bullying behaviour early, especially among junior high school students.

This research examines the problem of increasing the understanding and critical thinking abilities of students who use film media with students who use conventional learning methods. This research uses a quasi-experimental method with purposive sampling and the instruments used in this research are written tests and questionnaires. The population of this study was all students of class VIII SMPN 12 Tasikmalaya. The sample for this research was students in class VIII A. The instrument used in this research was a test of students' understanding and critical thinking abilities in the form of a questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively. The results of the research show: 1) The increase in understanding of students who use film media is better than students who use conventional learning in English lessons in class. 2) The critical thinking of students who use film media is better than the critical thinking of students who use conventional learning in English lessons in class. Based on the research results, film media can improve students' understanding and critical thinking in English lessons. Film media can make modifications and adaptations according to the situation and conditions of the teaching and learning process.
