This report contains the results of interviews conducted by students of Elementary School Teacher Education Program of Santo Thomas Catholic University with teachers and fifth grade students of SDN 068332 Medan Tuntungan. The main purpose of the interviews was to obtain information about learning difficulties, aggressive behavior, and student discipline. Through a qualitative approach and direct interviews, three main problems were found: students who experience learning difficulties, students with aggressive behavior, and students who often skip school or are undisciplined. The results of the interviews showed that learning difficulties were influenced by lack of concentration and learning support at home, aggressive behavior was caused by lack of emotional management and attention from the environment, and discipline problems were related to minimal motivation and family supervision. The guidance actions taken showed positive developments, such as increased courage of students to ask questions, reduced conflict between friends, and improved student attendance rates. The discussion emphasized the importance of collaboration between teachers, students, and parents to create a supportive learning environment. Guidance and counseling services with an empathetic approach and storytelling techniques have proven effective in fostering changes in students' attitudes and behaviors. In conclusion, open communication and consistent guidance are the keys to successful interventions for student problems in elementary schools.

These findings provide a basis for the development of teaching materials, lecturer training, and more contextual and applicable learning designs.

This PkM aims to overcome the main obstacle of PGMI students of Nurul Huda University in analyzing quantitative data for thesis. Many students have difficulty understanding statistical concepts and operating SPSS, which often delays the completion of studies and reduces the quality of research. This program is designed to equip them with conceptual understanding and practical skills in data analysis using SPSS, for the sake of independence in processing research data. The implementation method is comprehensive and structured. Starting with the debriefing of basic and inferential statistical concepts, followed by practical training based on real cases using SPSS. Another important stage is individual mentoring where students can consult directly about the analysis of their thesis data. This approach ensures effective knowledge and skills transfer, tailored to the specific needs of students. The program successfully achieves its goals with a significant increase in students' understanding and skills. A 98% attendance rate demonstrates the enthusiasm and relevance of the program. As a result, 100% of participants showed an increase in their initial understanding of basic statistical concepts, and 90% successfully mastered basic quantitative data analysis techniques using SPSS independently. The mentoring stage is also very effective, with 75% of students actively taking advantage of the consultation sessions.

This study aims to examine the challenges and strategies of Management Study Program students at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra (UINSU) in understanding online lecture materials. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of closed questionnaires distributed to 25 respondents of fourth semester students. The results showed that although there were still technical problems such as unstable internet connections, the majority of students were able to adapt to the online learning system. The most dominant learning strategies used are active and independent strategies, such as reading, taking notes, repeating material, watching learning videos, and managing study time. In addition, group discussions through media such as WhatsApp and Telegram also help clarify understanding of the material. Students also rely on learning materials provided by lecturers through digital platforms (PDF, video, and LMS) as the main source of independent learning. This study concludes that students' success in understanding online lecture materials is strongly influenced by a combination of active learning strategies, group collaboration, and material support provided by lecturers. Therefore, continuous collaboration between students, lecturers, and institutions is needed to create a more effective and inclusive online learning system.

Young generation dominated the unemployment rate in Indonesia, highlighting the need to increase the number of entrepreneurs to create new job opportunities.

This study aims to analyze the game strategy and formation effectiveness in futsal in college students. Futsal as a fast-paced sport requires the application of the right strategy and effective formation to win. One strategy that is often used is power play, which involves the goalkeeper as an additional player to strengthen the attack. The research method used is descriptive with an observation approach and video analysis of student futsal matches. The data was analyzed to determine the strategy pattern, the type of formation used, and the success of the strategy in creating opportunities and goals. The results showed that the effectiveness of the power play strategy was still relatively low with a success rate of around 6.7%, caused by main factors such as shooting blocked by opponents, inaccurate passing, and loss of ball control. Commonly applied formations are 2-2 and 1-2-1, which provide a balance between defense and attack, but their success is highly dependent on technical ability and coordination between players. Mastery of basic techniques such as passing, control, and shooting are key in executing strategies and formations effectively. This study concludes that the development of basic technical training and improvement of team coordination are very important to improve the effectiveness of game strategies and futsal formations in university students. The adaptation of strategies according to the match situation is also a determining factor in the team's success in the competition.
