In the 21st century, technological development is increasingly rapid and tends towards digitalization, when compared to a few decades ago. So, if it is not utilized, it will be something in vain. Using technology-based learning media will facilitate the learning process, so that it can improve the quality of learning and can improve students' mathematical representation skills. One of the technology-based mathematics learning media that can help students in representing mathematical models/problems is GeoGebra Software. The purpose of this research activity is to find out whether the use of GeoGebra software  media can improve students' computational thinking skills in mathematics learning. Improving students' understanding of how to show a model or mathematical problem in graph form or vice versa is one of the benefits of research. The method used in this study is Systematic Literature Review (SLR). This research method is carried out by reviewing journals in a structured manner with predetermined steps. The result of this research activity is that GeoGebra can help students understand the concept of straight line graphs in more detail with a varied and attractive appearance. In addition, for teachers themselves, GeoGebra can be used as a mathematics learning tool to create interactive learning that allows students to explore various abstract mathematical concepts.  

Learning media is a vehicle for transmitting learning messages and information. Learning media is designed as best as possible to improve student learning outcomes. In this era of globalization, learning media is increasingly advanced. The use of Information Technology as a learning medium has become a demand. In order to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of learning, various creative and innovative learning models need to be developed. This research aims to meet school needs, increase interest in learning and improve student learning outcomes. Limitations of learning media are known to be one of the obstacles that exist in learning at the elementary school level, especially for students. The impact of limited media is the low interest and activity of students when participating in elementary school learning. The existence of these obstacles aims to develop Monokebu media as an alternative solution to learning problems for students as well as finding out whether the media is suitable for use in learning and presenting the results of limited trials of the media. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a library research approach. The results of this research indicate that it is very necessary to develop teaching material media to improve student learning outcomes. In this progressive era, learning media can be created using technology-based learning media models. Among the technology-based media are PPT, Google Classroom, Google Meet. Including Monokebu media.

Teaching the Al-Qur’an is the core of Islamic education, with the main aim of guiding children in reading, studying and understanding the Koran from an early age. The Al-Qur'an Education Park (TPQ) serves as an important platform to instill a love of the Al-Qur'an in children. Even though many TPQs have been successful with good administration and management and a large number of students, there are still TPQs that have not developed, such as the TPQ in Glidah Kedamean Village, Gresik. Observations show that learning management at TPQ does not meet recognized management and curriculum standards in education, resulting in suboptimal educational attainment. Responding to this problem, the Glidah Village TPQ Teacher Management Optimization team, together with KSPPS BMT Khoiru Ummah, initiated an intensive community service-based mentoring program using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method. The mentoring process involves several stages, starting from identifying problems through field observations, organizing and planning programs, to implementing program actions. The results of discussions and implementation of mentoring revealed a number of problems faced by teachers regarding TPQ management. The implementation of this mentoring activity has been empirically proven to have a positive impact, increasing the effectiveness of management and the quality of education at the TPQ.

Learning is a process, an activity and not a result or goal. Learning is not just remembering, but broader than that, namely experiencing. This article discusses how to apply the PBL (Problem Based Learning) learning model in increasing student activity. This research is classified as qualitative descriptive research. In the learning process, students tend to get bored and less interested in the ongoing learning process because the method used is only lectures and is monotonous. Student activity in the learning process also has an important role in learning outcomes. The project based learning learning model is a scientific approach which consists of several stages, including observing, asking, collecting information, reasoning and communicating. Through these various stages students can increase their role in the learning process.

This research aims to find out whether the application of the problem based learning model can improve students' mathematical problem solving abilities in class VII of St. Peter's Middle School, Medan. This research method uses Classroom Action Research (PTK). The research procedure is cyclical. Each cycle consists of 4 stages, namely: planning, implementing actions, observing and reflecting. Data collection techniques through observation and tests. This data collection uses several instruments in the form of student observation sheets. Meanwhile, to determine students' mathematical problem solving abilities, tests are used. The results of the research show that the use of the Problem Based Learning learning model can improve students' mathematical problem solving abilities in mathematics lessons on algebra material. From the average value of prerequisite abilities, namely 55.56, the average value of students' mathematical problem solving abilities in cycle I is 72.55 and the average value of students' mathematical problem solving abilities in cycle II is 76.39 and the activity value of students in cycle I is 62%, and cycle II, namely 85%.

Interest in learning and lack of motivation are the main problems faced by students in Hambiri Village. It can be seen that children in Hambiri Village have a lack of awareness about education, therefore the importance of tutoring which will motivate students to be aware of the importance of education for the future. So we, KKN group 37 Stain Mandailing Natal students, aim to hold tutoring activities to increase interest in learning for elementary school age students in Hambiri Village. Tutoring is one of our work programs for the 37 Stain Mandailing Natal group, especially in the field of education. This service research focuses on students in Hambiri Village. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Based on research results, this tutoring activity has had a significant impact in terms of general and religious knowledge, such as increasing children's understanding, growing children's awareness of learning, children being more active in discussing and asking questions about material they don't understand, and increasing interest in participating in activities. the study guidance.
