This study aims to examine the effectiveness of psychological approaches in overcoming thinking disorders in elementary school children. The background of this study is the increasing cases of thinking disorders such as difficulty distinguishing reality, irrational thinking, and rigid thought patterns, which have a negative impact on children's learning processes and social interactions. Unfortunately, these disorders are often not identified early due to a lack of understanding from teachers and parents of the psychological symptoms that appear. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method (library research). Data sources come from accredited journals, child development psychology books, and relevant previous research results. The data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman model which includes the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that psychological approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), individual counseling, and play therapy have proven effective in helping children recognize, manage, and regulate negative thought patterns. This approach also improves children's communication skills and self-confidence. The success of the intervention is greatly influenced by the involvement of teachers and parents, as well as a safe and supportive learning environment. However, limited resources and a lack of professional staff are major obstacles in implementing interventions in elementary schools.

This study aims to determine the effect of the Reciprocal Teaching learning model on the reading comprehension ability of news texts among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Hiliduho. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The pretest results showed that the initial abilities of students in the experimental and control classes were comparable, with average scores of 64.57 and 65.87, respectively. After the treatment, the experimental class showed a significant increase, achieving a posttest average of 81.52, while the control class only reached 74.35. The Reciprocal Teaching model proved effective in creating a collaborative learning environment, encouraging students to think critically, engage in discussions, and teach one another. In contrast, the control class, which used the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model, demonstrated lower participation and higher dependence on the teacher. The hypothesis test showed a significance value of 0.001 < 0.05, indicating that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. These results indicate a significant effect of the Reciprocal Teaching model on students’ ability to comprehend news texts. Therefore, this model is recommended as an effective teaching strategy to enhance students’ reading comprehension, particularly in news text material at the junior high school level.

Mathematics is often perceived as a subject that is difficult for students to master, a notion that has been confirmed by numerous previous studies. One of the contributing factors is the limited variety of instructional media used in classrooms, which affects students' interest and comprehension. Many teachers still lack appropriate learning media to support blended learning approaches. This study aims to develop and implement multimedia-based Educational Instructional Media (EIM) that are valid, practical, and effective. The project utilizes video-based learning to deliver algebra concepts material for Grade VII students at SMPN 252 Jakarta and SMPIT Al-Qudwah. The development process follows the ADDIE model, which includes five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. During the analysis phase, both learning needs and content requirements were mapped according to SAP (System Analysis and Product). The material was then divided into seven core sections. In the design stage, the curriculum structure, system flow, and user interface were developed. The development stage involved creating instructional content based on the analysis results. The content was then uploaded to the Moodle platform and presented using the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model.

This research is motivated by the importance of education as a basic right of the nation's children that continues to experience innovation, including in the school model based on boarding school. The focus of the research is social studies learning at MTs Darul Hikmah Tulungagung which implements the boarding system. The purpose of this study was to determine teacher strategies, implementation, and obstacles in social studies learning in this environment. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study type, and data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study showed that the effectiveness of social studies learning was influenced by the density of institutional activities, lack of mastery of the material by teachers, and dualism of the curriculum. Efforts made include improving teacher discipline, utilizing audio-visual media, and linking material to current issues. The advantages of the boarding school system are that students become more independent, have high social awareness, and obtain general and religious education in a balanced manner.

This study aims to analyze student acceptance of the use of mobile-based learning media and augmented reality (AR) in the Electrical Circuit course at the Electrical Engineering Study Program at Padang State University. Using a mixed method approach, this research combines quantitative techniques through the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and qualitative approaches to explore student experiences through interviews. The results show that students' perceptions of ease of use (PEOU) have a significant effect on perceived usefulness (PU), which then affects attitudes towards use (ATU) and acceptance (ACC) of AR learning media. However, the relationship between PEOU and ATU, as well as PU and ATU, is not significant, indicating that affective aspects still need attention to increase positive attitudes towards the technology. Based on these findings, it is recommended that learning media developers pay attention to the user experience dimension and involve social factors and support in learning so that technology acceptance can be optimized. In conclusion, the successful integration of AR technology in education depends not only on convenience and usability, but also on emotional and social experiences that can support a more thorough learning process.

Dengue Fever (DF) continues to be a major public health threat in Indonesia, especially in urban areas with high population density, such as Purwokerto City. This study aims to develop a predictive model to identify high-risk areas for DF outbreaks by integrating Machine Learning (ML) algorithms and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The research utilizes historical dengue case data, meteorological parameters (rainfall, temperature, humidity), and population density as predictive variables. Three ML classification algorithms—Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, and Support Vector Machine (SVM)—were implemented to develop risk prediction models. Extensive data preprocessing, feature selection, and spatial integration were applied to ensure model robustness. The results show that the SVM model outperformed other methods, achieving the highest accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score in classifying dengue risk zones. Risk maps generated through GIS visualization successfully identify priority areas for targeted interventions. The novelty of this research lies in the combination of local epidemiological data, multi-algorithm comparison, and geospatial mapping to improve early warning systems for DF in Purwokerto. This integrated approach is expected to support more effective prevention strategies and enhance public health preparedness.
