This study examines the relationship between material mastery and draping practice outcomes among students in the Family Welfare Vocational Education (PVKK) Fashion Design Study Program at PGRI Adi Buana University, Surabaya. Draping, as a technique for making patterns directly on a mannequin or the human body, is an important course in fashion design synchronization. This technique allows students to develop creativity, understand the proportions, shapes, and volumes of fabric, and produce unique works that suit the curves of the body. This study used a quantitative approach by collecting data from 60 student respondents from the 2021 and 2022 intakes through questionnaires and documentation. The variables studied were draping material mastery (independent variable) and draping practice outcomes (dependent variable). The analysis results showed a significant and positive relationship between material mastery and draping practice outcomes. The better the material mastery, the better the students' draping practice outcomes. This emphasizes that a strong theoretical understanding is an important foundation for practical skills, and learning theory and practice must be balanced to optimally improve the quality of student work. These findings have important implications for curriculum development and learning methods in the PVKK Fashion Design Study Program. To support the achievement of optimal practical results, teaching strategies are needed that integrate theory and practice in a more interactive and applicable way. For example, the use of video tutorial-based learning media, digital draping simulations, or project-based learning can strengthen students' understanding while improving their technical skills. Furthermore, increasing the intensity of practice with direct feedback from lecturers has also proven effective in accelerating technical mastery. With a holistic and adaptive learning approach, vocational education institutions can produce graduates who are not only technically competent but also competent.

This study aims to determine the influence of the Time Token Learning Type learning model combined with science literacy on communication skills and cognitive learning outcomes of SMPN XYZ students. The background of this research is low communication skills and student learning outcomes that are still substandard, so an innovative learning approach is needed that can improve both aspects. The research method used was quasi experimental with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The research subjects involved one experimental class given Time Token Learning type learning with science literacy content and one control class that used conventional learning. The research instrument consisted of a reasoned multiple-choice test to measure cognitive learning outcomes and an observation sheet to assess communication skills. The results of the study show that the application of the Time Token Learning model with science literacy has a significant influence on improving students' cognitive learning outcomes. The average pretest score of 40 increased to 75 in the posttest with an N-Gain value of 45.5% which was in the medium category. These findings prove that the learning model is effective in improving students' understanding of concepts and cognitive thinking skills. However, the results of the analysis of communication skills did not show a significant improvement. In addition, the correlation between communication skills and learning outcomes was also insignificant with a significance value of 0.826 > 0.05. In conclusion, the Time Token Learning model with science literacy has proven to be effective in improving students' cognitive learning outcomes, but has not been able to optimally develop communication skills. Therefore, it is necessary to develop additional strategies or a combination of other learning models so that communication skills can develop in line with improving cognitive learning outcomes.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of gillnet mesh sizes (1 inch and 3 inches) on fish catches in the waters of Enggano Island, Bengkulu. The method used is a quantitative experiment by catching fish using gillnets with mesh sizes of 1 inch and 3 inches for three trips around the waters of Enggano Island. The data collected included the number, length, and weight of fish caught, which were then analyzed using an independent t-test. The results showed that the 1-inch mesh caught more fish than the 3-inch mesh, but the fish caught with the 3-inch mesh were larger in size and weight. Although there were differences in the number and weight of fish caught, the results of statistical tests showed that the differences were not statistically significant, so that both mesh sizes had comparable effectiveness in the context of fishing at the study site. The conclusion of this study shows that the use of a 3-inch mesh is more recommended for getting fish with higher economic value, while a 1-inch mesh is more effective for catching more fish. Further research is recommended to examine other mesh size variations and their impacts on the sustainability of fish resources

The early outcomes of teaching fundamental passing techniques in volleyball games to the students of class IV-A at SDN Jeruk 1/469 Surabaya were unsatisfactory, with a significant number of pupils failing to fulfil the expected performance standards (KKTP). This is demonstrated by the fact that only 50% of students in this class have successfully finished or satisfied the KKTP. Researchers were motivated to carry out Classroom Action Research (PTK) in this class utilising the grab the ball game method. The objective is to enhance academic achievements in class IV-A at SDN Jeruk 1/469 Surabaya. Substantial outcomes were achieved after implementing this methodology. The methodology is executed in two rounds. During cycle I, there was a 20% increase, going from 50% to 70%. Additionally, during cycle II, there was a notable improvement in student learning outcomes. In cycle I, the percentage of students achieving satisfactory results was 70%, but it increased to 80% in cycle II. Based on these results, it can be inferred that implementing the grab the ball game can enhance the learning outcomes of basic volleyball underpassing movement material for class IV-A students at SDN Jeruk 1/469 Surabaya.

Hairstyling is a crucial aspect of enhancing one’s aesthetic appearance and self-expression, with the Hollywood Wave being one of the most iconic and classic styles. Characterized by large, shiny, and neatly arranged “S”-shaped waves, this style requires accuracy in both technique and tools. One of the most influential factors in achieving the desired look is the diameter of the curly iron used. Observations during an internship at a national television station revealed that different curly iron diameters, specifically 28 mm and 25 mm, produce varied results when applied to long straight hair. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of using 28 mm and 25 mm diameter curly irons in creating Hollywood Wave styles. The research employed a quantitative method with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The independent variable was the Hollywood Wave styling technique, while the dependent variable was the styling result measured across three indicators: wave shape, wave durability, and wave volume. The sample consisted of students who had completed the Hair Styling course and had long straight hair, selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, followed by normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing to ensure validity. The findings demonstrate that the 28 mm curly iron performs more effectively than the 25 mm in producing Hollywood Waves that are neater, longer-lasting, and more voluminous. Statistical analysis confirms a significant difference between the two diameters in achieving optimal styling results. This suggests that the larger diameter curly iron not only provides a smoother and more polished wave pattern but also improves the durability and overall quality of the style. The study contributes to hairstyling practices by offering evidence-based insights into tool selection for professional styling, particularly for achieving the Hollywood Wave look.

This study aims to determine the effect of using educational gim-based learning media on students' math learning outcomes on the material of Linear Equation One Variable (PLSV). The background of this research is the low student learning outcomes in conventional math learning which is considered less interesting, especially in PLSV material which is abstract. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design and a nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class (using educational gim media) and the control class (using conventional methods), which were taken from VII grade students of MTs Ra’iyatul Husnan, Wringin Bondowoso. The research instrument was in the form of pretest and posttest tests that had gone through validity and reliability tests. The pretest results showed that both classes had relatively balanced initial abilities. However, in the posttest, the learning outcomes of experimental class students showed a more significant increase than the control class. The data were analyzed using normality, homogeneity, and Mann-Whitney U Test hypothesis tests because the posttest data were not normally distributed. The analysis results showed a significance value of Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) significance value of 0.000 <0.05, which means there is a significant effect of using educational gim media on student learning outcomes. This finding shows that interesting and interactive learning media such as educational gims can improve students' motivation, understanding and learning outcomes in mathematics. Therefore, the use of educational gims is recommended as an innovative alternative in learning mathematics, especially on material that is abstract and difficult for students to understand.
