A pregnant woman is a woman who carries a fetus in her womb after being fertilized BACKGROUND by spermatozoa. Pregnancy is a special situation for a woman as a prospective mother, because during pregnancy there will be physical changes that affect her life. During pregnancy, many changes will occur, both physical, social and mental. Pregnant mothers must have adequate nutrition, because the nutrition they get will be used for themselves and their fetus. For pregnant women, basically all nutrients require supplementation, but what is often lacking is protein energy and several minerals such as iron (Pantiawati in Mulyani, 2017). Breast care is a health behavior. Health behavior (according to Skinner) is: "a person's response to stimuli related to illness and disease, the health service system, eating and drinking, and the environment" (Unimus, 2012). Becker describes health behavior into three domains, namely health knowledge, attitudes towards health, and health practices (Wikipedia, 2012). According to Lawrence Green (1980) in Notoadmodjo (2007) there are 2 factors that influence human behavior in terms of health, namely: internal factors which include knowledge, perception, emotions, motivation, socio-economics and culture, and external factors, namely the environment. So far, from the literature that researchers have examined, there have been many studies that discuss breast care behavior, both during the antenatal period and during pregnancy.OBJECTIVE To analyze the relationship between factors that influence pregnant women in carrying out breast care at the Pratama Nirmala Clinic in 2023.

This study examines the impact of differentiated learning models in inclusive educational settings, focusing on their effect on student participation, motivation, and academic performance. Differentiated instruction (DI) adapts content, teaching methods, and assessments to meet the diverse learning styles, interests, and abilities of students. Using a mixed methods approach, the research combines quantitative and qualitative data to explore how DI influences engagement and academic outcomes in diverse classrooms. The findings show that DI significantly increased student participation, as lessons tailored to individual strengths encouraged more active involvement. Motivation also improved, with students displaying higher intrinsic motivation when engaging with relevant material at their own pace. Additionally, academic performance improved, especially for students who had struggled with traditional teaching methods. These results suggest that DI is an effective strategy for inclusive education, particularly for students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The study emphasizes the importance of teacher training and ongoing professional development for successful DI implementation. The implications are significant for global educational settings, where classrooms are becoming more diverse. By adopting differentiated strategies, educators can create more equitable and inclusive learning experiences. Future research should explore the long-term effects of DI in various cultural and educational contexts.

The learning of physics, particularly mechanics, poses significant challenges for high school students. Concepts such as Newton’s laws, energy, and three-dimensional vectors are often difficult to grasp using traditional teaching methods. Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a promising solution by providing an immersive and interactive learning environment. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of VR-based learning media in enhancing students’ understanding of physics concepts, with a specific focus on mechanics. An experimental design was employed, consisting of two groups: an experimental group using VR for learning and a control group receiving traditional instruction. Pre-test and post-test assessments were used to measure the improvement in students' conceptual understanding of physics. The findings indicate that students in the experimental group demonstrated a significant improvement in their understanding of complex physics concepts, such as projectile motion, force, and Newton’s laws, compared to the control group. Students in the experimental group also exhibited higher levels of engagement and motivation, with VR's immersive nature encouraging active participation in learning. The study concludes that VR is an effective tool for enhancing students’ comprehension of abstract and complex physics concepts, improving their visualization and problem-solving skills. Furthermore, VR-based learning provides students with opportunities to conduct virtual experiments and simulations that may not be possible in traditional classroom settings. The implications of this study suggest that VR should be integrated into the physics curriculum to improve learning outcomes, especially in schools with access to the necessary technology. Educators and curriculum developers are encouraged to explore VR’s potential in fostering a more engaging and effective physics education.

One of the efforts to overcome teacher problems in learning is by educational supervision. Supervision is guidance in the form of guidance or guidance towards improving the educational situation in general and improving the quality of teaching and learning. Supervision is carried out by the Principal (supervisor) whose role is to supervise teaching and learning activities, teacher performance etc. The purpose of supervision is to develop better situations to train the learning process and improve the teaching profession. The study was conducted because researchers wanted to get a better understanding of a special case This research reveals specifically about the implementation of teaching supervision and teacher performance in the learning process of Islamic religious education in MTSN 2 Bengkalis. Based on the entire series of analysis and discussion of data, it can be concluded that the implementation of principal supervision of the performance of Islamic religious education teachers in MTSN 2 Bengkalis is The planning of principal supervision is carried out in a planned, systematic and continuous manner. At this stage the principal determines the name of the teacher to be observed, forms a determination of the time for the implementation of the observation time, compiles an observation grid and determines whether the class observation is known to the teacher or not, this is based on an agreement between the principal and the Islamic religious education teacher. In the implementation of supervision, the principal's attitude did not interfere with the process of learning Islamic religious education in the classroom even the principal at the end of class hours gave motivation to students to continue learning diligently. In the follow-up stage, the results of supervision are discussed jointly between Islamic religious education teachers and school principals who discuss teacher deficiencies in teaching in the hope that in the future teachers can improve them.
