In the world of education, learning difficulties are a complex problem that can have a significant impact on student academic achievement. Analysis of causal factors and solutions is important in understanding these dynamics. Factors that cause learning difficulties include health conditions, learning environment, and individual characteristics of students. The impact of learning difficulties can be felt in declining grades, emotional disturbances, and limitations in developing students' potential. However, through the right approach, solutions can be found. Solutions such as learning differentiation, additional support programs, and partnerships with parents are key in helping students overcome learning difficulties and improve their academic performance. These steps provide opportunities for all students to reach their optimal learning potential. This research explores in depth the relationship between learning difficulties and academic achievement, and analyzes the underlying causal factors. Through a better understanding of these issues, educators, education professionals, and parents can work together to create learning environments that are inclusive, supportive, and facilitate students' holistic development.

Recognizing outstanding students is an essential strategy to encourage learners to improve their academic performance and overall learning quality. However, the process of selecting the best students at SMK Negeri 1 Raman Utara still encounters significant challenges due to the complexity of the evaluation criteria, which include academic achievement, attendance, participation in extracurricular activities, and student behavior. The current manual selection method is considered less effective because it is time-consuming and susceptible to subjectivity in decision-making. This study aims to address these issues by developing a technology-based Decision Support System utilizing the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. SAW was chosen for its efficiency in solving multi-criteria problems through matrix normalization and preference weighting for each alternative. The development process includes requirement analysis, system design, and the implementation of an automated ranking mechanism for student candidates. Based on the testing results, the implemented system can process assessment data rapidly and produce accurate and objective rankings of high-achieving students. The system offers a practical solution for the school by enhancing transparency and validity in the selection process, minimizing human calculation errors, and supporting more equitable and data-driven decision-making.

These findings suggest that IBL is a promising pedagogical approach for enhancing mathematics achievement in secondary education.

This research aims to describe the application of the Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) learning model in improving the learning outcomes of class XI-4 students at SMA Negeri 6 Surabaya, especially on the subject of vectors. The background to this research is strengthened by the fact that motivation to learn mathematics tends to be low, especially when studying complex material such as vectors. This is supported by initial observations which show that students often have difficulty understanding these concepts, which is reflected in the low learning outcomes, with a percentage of only 73%, and classical completeness of only 40%. This research is classroom action research carried out in two cycles. The research subjects consisted of 36 students. Data is collected through tests and observations. Data analysis was carried out using qualitative and quantitative descriptive techniques. The results in cycle 1 showed a significant improvement, with learning outcomes reaching 97% and classical completion increasing to 94%. In cycle 2, learning outcomes reached 98% and classical completion reached 100%. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the STAD learning model is effective in improving the learning outcomes of class XI-4 students at SMA Negeri 6 Surabaya.        

This study aims to identify and describe differences in the achievement of Dance learning among students at SMP Negeri 1 Batang Kapas, especially in the material of traditional Indonesian dance movements.
