This research aims to describe the concept of Open High School and its role in fulfilling learning obligations. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research method. The qualitative research method according to Sugiyono is a research method based on the philosophy used to research on scientific conditions (experiments) where the researcher is an instrument, while qualitative data collection and analysis techniques emphasize meaning. The results showed that the Open High School in Cianjur Subdistrict is a school attached to Pasundan 2 Cianjur High School, the curriculum used is not much different from the curriculum used in the Parent High School, only the learning process is different.

This research was conducted as a response to students' low interest in learning in English subjects at Al Amin Islamic Middle School, North Cikarang, Bekasi Regency. Several factors that cause this low interest include the lack of attractiveness of the material, monotonous teaching methods, and the lack of connection between English language material and students' daily lives. The impact is a decrease in students' interest in these subjects, which can affect their interest in learning. In an effort to increase students' interest in learning, the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model is used, where the teacher gives students ample opportunities to determine problem topics that are relevant to the learning material, even though the teacher has prepared the material that will be discussed in the lesson. The learning process is focused on students' abilities to solve problems systematically and logistically. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Through observation, interviews and documentation, the research results show that the application of the PBL learning model at Al Amin Islamic Middle School, North Cikarang, Bekasi Regency can increase students' interest in learning. English teachers who use the PBL model get good responses from students, where students are active in the teaching and learning process, ask questions actively, and are able to answer questions well and appropriately during discussions. The PBL learning model also encourages students to be more diligent in doing their assignments and provides high motivation to learn. Students find it easier to solve problems and are able to apply the knowledge they have.

Despite facing limited financial resources which make it difficult to recruit professional teachers, education and training continues to run effectively. Students who excel in the MTQ event demonstrate the quality of education provided, even though most of the teachers are students who are experienced and have excelled in the same event.

The rise in the phenomenon of using Artificial Intelligence such as ChatGPT and the very high trust of the Indonesian people in the development of Artificial Intelligence, especially the Gen Z generation group with Higher Education status (students), has given rise to debate in terms of the impact of its uses as a technology that helps the learning process. On the positive side, ChatGPT can provide personalized and interactive learning, while on the negative side, ChatGPT can provide incorrect and inaccurate information. Meanwhile, penetration of its uses can no longer be avoided because it is easy to access, so the good and bad sides will continue to be felt, especially for its users. Moreover, until now there is still very little research on how this technology can help fulfill the needs of students within the research campus, especially the most important need for them as someone who is pursuing higher education, namely the need for satisfying learning. Therefore, this research aims to explain the relationship between the uses of ChatGPT and the fulfillment of learning needs for students at the Faculty of Communication Sciences, Padjadjaran University with the help of the Uses and Gratification theory approach.

To improve the quality of the student learning process by increasing the quality of teachers' professional abilities, all teachers must go through a learning process that makes it possible to find and solve learning problems in their respective classes based on the principles of Classroom Action Research (PTK). Classroom Action Research is carried out with the aim of improving or enhancing student learning activities and achievements. PTK is an activity carried out to find out problems that arise in the classroom when the teacher is interacting with students in carrying out the teaching and learning process. PTK is research carried out by class teachers through self-reflection with the aim of improving teacher performance, so that the quality of learning increases (Mills, Geoffrey E, 2000, Schmuch, A. Richard, 1997) which can be seen in the percentage of students' success in completing the exercises systematically. verbally and in writing.

This research aims to improve students' knowledge and thinking abilities by developing an inquiry learning model. The method used by the researcher is qualitative, which describes something in the form of writing. In addition, the Inquiry also teaches students to think critically, namely by giving opinions and using reason when deciding something or what is being discussed. It also concerns the potential of students to learn by involving critical thinking or inquiry learning. This research shows that learning based on the Quran must be applied because this will make it easier for teachers or prospective teachers in the teaching and learning process. In addition, by learning the Quran, students can be active in the classroom and think logically.
