The instructional design with a problem-solving approach is essential for enhancing students' Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in secondary education. The aim of this research is to develop an effective and measurable learning process that can improve students' HOTS through a problem-solving approach, with a particular focus on the topic of integrals, which students often find challenging. The research method used in this study is Instructional Design Development, which integrates student needs analysis, clear learning objectives, and the application of innovative and relevant instructional strategies. This research involves a comprehensive analysis of various theories and best practices in problem-based learning, as well as evaluating its effectiveness through classroom trials. The sources of information evaluated include academic journals, textbooks, and previous research reports, providing diversity and validity of data for analysis. This analysis includes the definition of HOTS, HOTS indicators investigated, and the strategies and methods commonly used in problem-solving learning. This research aims to provide a deeper understanding of how instructional design with problem-solving can enhance students' HOTS, particularly in understanding and mastering integral material. The results of this research are expected to significantly contribute to the development of more effective and efficient learning strategies, focusing on developing students' critical and creative thinking skills in education.

This research was motivated by the relatively limited understanding of students in grades 3, 4 and 5 at SDN 15 Sutijo regarding PAI material. Many students have not demonstrated attitudes and behavior that reflect religious teachings well. Then, most students experience difficulties in achieving the expected competency standards in Islamic Religious Education subjects, including from the emotional and spiritual aspects of students. Many students lack motivation and feel anxious during the learning process, which has a negative impact on learning outcomes. Then some students also show apathy and lack motivation in taking religious lessons. This can be seen from the low average test scores and the results of observations of student interactions in class. So this research aims to determine the influence of IQ, EQ and SQ on students' PAI learning outcomes. This type of research is quantitative correlation. The population was 30 students and the sample used a total sampling technique. Data was collected through questionnaires and documentation and analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression tests. The research results show that IQ, EQ and S1 influence students' PAI learning outcomes. IQ has an effect of 14.4%, EQ of 14.3%, SQ of 27.2%. Then IQ, EQ and SQ together also influence students' PAI learning outcomes, namely 27.4% and the rest is influenced by other factors not examined in this research.

This Community Empowerment Program involves delivering education on handwashing techniques and raising awareness about the dangers of drugs to children living in the Ar-Ridho Orphanage. Consisting of three stages, namely planning, implementation, and evaluation, this service successfully generated enthusiasm among the participants during the delivery of the materials and handwashing practice sessions. Good information absorption occurred because the material was tailored to their age. Socialization about drugs was also conducted with the aim of providing understanding of their dangers and encouraging them to stay away from drugs from an early age. This activity combines delivering material about drugs with interactive games and quizzes, strengthening the children's understanding of the risks of drug abuse. The results are expected to enhance their understanding and foster a spirit to stay away from drug abuse. Throughout the socialization process, the participants showed enthusiasm both when listening to the material and when practicing proper handwashing. This is because of the use of strategies, methods, and media tailored to their age, allowing participants to understand the socialization material well during this service. Therefore, there is a need for ongoing supervision from the caretakers at the orphanage to ensure the absorption of the taught material.

This study examines students' resistance and arguing behavior towards teachers in the learning process. The purpose is to identify the causative factors and their impact on the effectiveness of learning. The results of the study show that the disputing behavior can be caused by a lack of motivation, disagreement with teaching methods, or personal problems that affect the emotional state of students. This behavior can disrupt the focus of other students and prevent the teacher from delivering the material effectively. Therefore, good cooperation between teachers and students is needed to create a conducive learning atmosphere. An approach that emphasizes awareness, empathy and responsibility for students is important in overcoming this problem. This research provides valuable insights for schools, teachers, and parents in understanding and addressing oppositional behavior, so as to improve the effectiveness of the learning process.

This research aims to explore the impact of creativity in teaching methods on student learning outcomes. In this research, a qualitative approach with literature analysis is used as a method. The data taken comes from scientific studies relevant to the topic. Research findings show that teacher creativity in the teaching process has a significant influence on student achievement in learning. The mismatch of teaching media with the material being taught causes a lack of creativity in teaching, which in turn results in student boredom and lack of interest in lessons. As a result, student achievement levels tend to be low. On the other hand, a creative teaching approach is able to create an interesting learning environment, increase student motivation, and support their understanding of the subject matter. Apart from that, teacher creativity can also stimulate students to think critically, creatively and innovatively. Therefore, it is important for teachers to continue to develop creativity in their teaching methods in order to improve student learning outcomes.

This study examines the strategies and implications of online learning for children with intellectual disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Children with special needs, including those with intellectual disabilities, require education tailored to their unique needs. This research uses a literature review method, prioritizing research articles published in the last 5 years to gather relevant data on distance learning and effective strategies for children with intellectual disabilities. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a shift from face-to-face to online learning, posing significant challenges for children with intellectual disabilities who have difficulty with logical thinking and require direct interaction to understand material. Online learning offers advantages such as time flexibility and the use of technology, but also has drawbacks such as a lack of direct interaction, resulting in a limited understanding of the material. Parents play a crucial role in supporting children during online learning, but they face challenges such as limited knowledge and motivation from the child. This study found that parents often struggle to explain material to their children and maintain their learning motivation. To overcome these obstacles, recommended strategies include the use of simple language, repetitive explanations, and real-life examples. Online learning also brings children and parents closer, allowing parents to better understand their child's nature and create a closer relationship. In conclusion, support from family and teachers is essential to enhancing the effectiveness of online learning for children with intellectual disabilities, and adapting appropriate strategies can help overcome various challenges encountered during the online learning process during the pandemic.
