The research method employed is a mixed-method convergent parallel design, involving the collection of both qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data analysis uses descriptive analysis, while quantitative data is analyzed using a cross-sectional study design. The research findings indicate that student learning through virtual classes at the Faculty of Tarbiyah, supported by platforms like Google Classroom, WhatsApp, and Zoom Meetings, has been effective and has positively impacted students' learning achievements. The challenges encountered by students and professors during online learning include technology mastery, cost, smooth communication, interactive success, internet signal, and time management. For the faculty members of Tarbiyah, it is recommended to conduct online learning based on virtual classes, involving various integrated platforms such as Google Classroom, WhatsApp, and Zoom Meetings. Additionally, preparing a comprehensive online learning guide with solutions to handle technical issues would be beneficial. This research contributes to the education field by providing insights into effective online learning practices and highlighting the challenges that need to be addressed to improve the overall learning experience.

This study identified the challenges faced by students in writing persuasive texts, as well as exploring the potential for implementing PBL to improve writing skills. This research was conducted using the classroom action research method in class VIII SMP Negeri 11 Medan in the 2022/2023 academic year with a total of 32 students. Actions taken by applying the Problem-Based Learning learning model. This research was conducted in two cycles. Based on the results of research on student activity, it was found that the average value of student activity at the first meeting was 65.15%, at the second meeting, the percentage of activity value was 77.07%. The average value of student activity at meeting III was 70.09%, including the active category. Meanwhile, at the fourth meeting, the percentage of activity values ​​was 72.66% and if it was included in the criteria for student activity, this student activity was included in the active category. Overall, if an average of each cycle is obtained, the results of persuasive text writing skills have increased from 71.61% (active enough category) in cycle I to 71.37% (active category) in cycle II, which means an increase of 9. 76 %. Thus it can be seen that the Problem Based Learning learning model can improve the skills of writing persuasive texts and students understand learning material more easily.

This article on Optimizing the Utilization of Technology in Islamic Education was written with the aim of forming good morals and morals in individuals. This study was conducted using two methods, namely a qualitative survey and literature review through a review of previous studies whose subject matter is of course related to the title of this article. Character education is very important for someone, because good character will form a good and moral person. Character learning naturally forms a person's character based on what is learned, so that the character remains in it and even forms an identity in the future. In the current era of modernization, character education can be achieved through Islamic learning. So that someone even though living in the era of globalization can preserve Islamic values ​​that are rooted within him.

Based on the results of the initial observations that the author made at the Mandiri ABCD Kindergarten in Sipoholon District, it shows that the Kindergarten still does not use various interesting media to facilitate learning in the classroom. This research is motivated by problems that arise in class, namely children are less able to recognize number symbols properly because the child's cognitive abilities have not yet emerged, so that the facilities at school to recognize numbers are minimal, as well as the recognition of number symbols is less attractive. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using snakes and ladders media on the ability to recognize number symbols for children aged 5-6 years at Mandiri ABCD Kindergarten, Sipoholon District. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative research method. The population is all children aged 5-6 years in Mandiri ABCD Kindergarten, Sipoholon District, totaling 108 people and a sample of 20 people is determined using a non-probability sampling technique, namely purposive sampling. Data was collected using a closed questionnaire consisting of 23 items. The results of the data analysis showed that there was a positive and significant influence on the use of snakes and ladders media on the ability to recognize number symbols for children aged 5-6 years at Mandiri ABCD Kindergarten, Sipoholon District. Thus Ha is accepted and H0 is reject.

Process scheduling algorithms play an important role in determining the performance of operating systems, particularly in managing CPU utilization and process execution efficiency. Ineffective scheduling mechanisms can lead to increased waiting time and reduced system performance. This study aims to model and simulate several process scheduling algorithms using MATLAB in order to evaluate their performance characteristics. The research method involves developing simulation models for selected scheduling algorithms, including First Come First Serve, Shortest Job First, and Round Robin. Performance evaluation is conducted based on key parameters such as average waiting time, turnaround time, and processor throughput. The simulation results demonstrate that each scheduling algorithm exhibits different performance behaviors depending on the workload characteristics. Shortest Job First produces the lowest average waiting time, while Round Robin offers better response time fairness for time-sharing systems. The findings indicate that simulation-based analysis using MATLAB provides an effective approach to understanding the behavior and performance trade-offs of process scheduling algorithms. This research contributes as a reference for selecting appropriate scheduling algorithms in operating system design and as a learning model for process scheduling analysis.

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior is a set of behaviors that are carried out based on awareness as a result of learning that enables a person or family to help themselves in the health sector and play an active role in realizing personal and family health. the implementation of PHBS in households is the responsibility of every household member. According to Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2013, the proportion of households that met PHBS criteria was 32.3%. The purpose of this education is to increase the knowledge of housewives about problems with PHBS. The methods used in this counseling are pre-test and post-test using questionnaires and question and answer lectures. The results of the pre test for housewives who were present at the extension activities were in the low category (18%) and after being given knowledge counseling the respondents were in the high category (81%). The conclusion regarding this counseling is that there is a very significant increase in knowledge of the respondents before being given education with after being given counseling about PHBS.

Early childhood is the age of the child which is very decisive for the formation of a person's character, personality, intellectual and moral. So, parents must be able to maximize the provision of positive stimuli to children during their golden age. There are many ways that can be done in cultivating character and morals, one of which is storytelling. In a fairy tale, it usually contains elements of education, norms, various emotions and characters. Therefore, storytelling is an effective way of instilling morality in children, fostering creativity in children, increasing vocabulary in children, and increasing imagination in children. The method in this service is storytelling. Informants or subjects in this service are the early childhood children of TPQ At-Taqwa Ar-Rohmah Pracimantoro Mosque. The result of this dedication is to provide fairy tales to early childhood to teach a variety of emotions and characters for inculcating morals in early childhood. The conclusion from the dedication carried out by the resource persons can be explained that storytelling is an effective learning method for conveying moral messages to early childhood, because at their age, they have broad imaginations and tend to like fun learning methods, so they don't get bored quickly . By storytelling, instilling morals in early childhood is also easier.
