This research is motivated by the phenomenon of the lag of the Private Islamic Senior High School (MAS) YASTI Singkawang, the second oldest madrasah in the city which has been established since 1991, compared to newer schools that are more popular with the community. The main challenge faced is the small number of students. This condition questions the central role of madrasah principal leadership in improving the quality of education, especially in process standards, to respond to competition. The focus of this research is to examine: (1) the implementation of madrasah principal leadership, (2) supporting and inhibiting factors. This study employed a qualitative method with a field research approach. Data were collected through non-participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Informants in this study included the madrasah principal, teachers, administrative staff, and students. The collected data were analyzed interactively through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing to ensure the validity of the findings. The results of the study indicate that: (1) The madrasah principal's leadership is implemented collaboratively and participatively, involving all stakeholders in strategic planning and decision-making. (2) Key supporting factors include a conducive madrasah environment and diversified funding sources (BOS and madrasah cooperatives). Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include financial constraints, annual flooding, and a lack of community support and interest. Mitigation strategies were addressed through collaboration with government agencies, universities, and parents/guardians, as well as through simplifying lesson plans to enhance teacher creativity

The use of AI is seen as aiding the learning process, and students have used AI for various purposes in their coursework. This article aims to investigate the impact of AI use on their innovation and creativity, as well as the possibility of AI replacing lecturers. A qualitative study was conducted with 53 student respondents. Questions were asked about the definition of AI, the applications of AI they use, whether AI can enhance creativity and innovation, and whether AI will one day replace lecturers. The findings indicate that AI is artificial intelligence that serves as an aid in the student learning process. The majority of students use ChatGPT, and 37 students stated that AI can enhance their innovation and creativity by providing inspiration and initial ideas. AI is also a tool that accelerates the learning process and facilitates creative work, as well as AI as a means of developing skills such as critical reasoning and data analysis. However, the majority also stated that dependence on AI can actually reduce critical thinking and creativity. Regarding the role of lecturers, 41 students stated that AI cannot replace them. The implication of these findings is that AI can be used wisely while still being aware of its limitations and ethical use. The role of lecturers must be further enhanced to ensure that student learning processes address AI's limitations and allow students to further enhance their innovation and creativity, while simultaneously mitigating the associated risks.

The problem of education, especially in learning, is the low quality, relevance, and efficiency of learning so that the responsiveness and comprehension of students are very low. A learning approach is needed that fosters creativity and innovation in students, namely through the application of Contextual Learning (PKB). This article aims to explain the concept of implementing the Contextual Learning (PKB) model in the educational process in elementary schools. Contextual learning is an educational approach that allows instructors to connect learning materials with real-world scenarios and their relevance in the role of students as family members, citizens, and employees, while fostering active participation in the learning tasks required. The contextual approach (PKB) must be applied, because education is still dominated by the perception that knowledge consists of facts that require memorization. In this scenario, the function and role of the teacher remain dominant, so that students become obedient and uncreative. Students are expected to learn from personal experience rather than memorizing through this contextual approach. PKB emphasizes the importance of student involvement in finding material, highlights the importance of direct experience, and does not anticipate that students only absorb lessons; instead, PKB encourages students to actively seek learning resources. CTL improves students' ability to apply knowledge in real life, which shows that CTL not only aims for students to understand the topic but also understand how the topic affects their behavior in everyday life.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of Festival Anak Sholeh at Yayasan Perguruan Ar Rahman Misriadi, which focuses on increasing students' creativity and self-confidence in the religious field. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, which involves observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of religious teachers who acted as trainers and students from Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) and Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) levels. The results showed that the festival succeeded in increasing the spirit of learning religion, developing students' interests and talents in religion, and strengthening their self-confidence. Students were very enthusiastic in participating in various competitions, such as adhan and short verse recitation competitions, which were carried out in a structured manner with full support from the school. Nevertheless, this study also identified some constraints, such as limited space, lack of teacher participation in guiding students, and technical problems related to equipment. These constraints indicate the need for improvement in the implementation of the festival in the future so that it can be more optimal in achieving its goals. Thus, the Festival Anak Sholeh is not only a competition event, but also a means of strengthening character and Islamic values among students. This research provides recommendations for improvements in various aspects of the implementation of the festival so that it can be more effective in supporting the development of students' potential in the religious field.

Education is a conscious and planned effort aimed at developing students' potential to achieve a better life. In the context of physical education, quality learning plays an important role in increasing students' interest and creativity. Physical activity, as taught in PJOK subjects, is very important for students' physical-motor development, especially in junior high school age children. However, observations show that the gross motor development of 7th grade students is not optimal and teachers are less innovative in the use of media and games. Traditional games, such as black and green, can be a solution to improve students' gross motor skills while creating a fun learning atmosphere. This study aims to explore the application of the black and green game in improving the gross motor skills of 13-year-old students, with the hope of making a positive contribution to PJOK learning.
