In the modern era of education, the focus of learning has shifted from teacher orientation to student orientation. As educators, it is important to design learning methods that are in accordance with technological developments. Today, learning that is too teacher-centered and theoretical tends to reduce student interest. Therefore, the use of audio-visual media such as learning videos can increase student engagement, provide deep meaning, and arouse high enthusiasm for learning. This study aims to 1) explain the level of student enthusiasm when using audio-visual learning media, and 2) evaluate the impact and interest of students on audio-visual based learning media in the learning process. This research was conducted at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Ibn Aqil Pekanbaru. This research is a descriptive qualitative research that uses data collection methods in the form of direct observation, interviews, and literature studies. Research findings show that lecture-dominated learning tends to make learners lose interest and focus on themselves. The results of the study showed that 1) when students were introduced to the use of audio-visual media such as learning videos, most of them felt very enthusiastic and excited in following the learning process, while only one student showed less interest. 2) Thus, it can be concluded that the use of audio-visual learning media can increase student enthusiasm at the elementary school level.

This study aims to improve student learning outcomes in Pancasila Education subjects through the application of the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach in class X-1 of SMA Negeri 1 Rantau Selatan. The background of this study is the low learning outcomes of students caused by differences in learning abilities that have not been accommodated in the learning process. TaRL is an approach that adjusts learning to the level of ability of each student, not only based on class level. This study uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method which is carried out in two cycles, each consisting of the planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. Learning begins with a diagnostic assessment to determine students' initial abilities, which then become the basis for dividing study groups. The results of the study showed a significant increase in learning outcomes, indicated by an increase in the average score from 73 in the pre-cycle to 89 in the second cycle. In addition, student activity and involvement in the learning process also increased. These findings indicate that the TaRL approach is able to answer students' learning needs more specifically and has a positive impact on the learning process and outcomes. This approach is recommended as an alternative strategy in differentiated learning.

The rapid growth of data-intensive applications has posed significant challenges for classical machine learning (ML) algorithms, particularly in terms of computational efficiency and scalability. This study explores the role of quantum computing in optimizing machine learning performance through the implementation of Quantum Machine Learning (QML), specifically using the Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) model. The research adopts a Design Science Research approach, involving problem identification, model development, system implementation, and performance evaluation. Both classical Support Vector Machine (SVM) and QSVM models are developed and tested using benchmark classification datasets. The results indicate that QSVM outperforms the classical SVM model across multiple evaluation metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Additionally, QSVM demonstrates improved computational efficiency by reducing training time, particularly when handling high-dimensional data. These improvements are attributed to the ability of quantum computing to utilize quantum kernel methods and map data into higher-dimensional feature spaces, enabling better pattern recognition and classification performance.  Despite these promising outcomes, the study also identifies several limitations related to current quantum hardware, such as noise, decoherence, and limited qubit availability, which may affect scalability and practical implementation. Therefore, further research is required to enhance quantum hardware reliability and develop hybrid quantum-classical models. In conclusion, quantum machine learning offers a promising solution to overcome the limitations of classical approaches, providing enhanced performance and efficiency for complex data processing tasks in future intelligent systems.

This study investigates the efficacy of dynamic assignment strategies in enhancing English language proficiency, engagement, and motivation among learners compared to traditional assignment methods. Through a mixed-methods approach, involving quantitative analyses of language proficiency scores and engagement levels, as well as qualitative insights from student perspectives and teacher observations, the research highlights the significant advantages of integrating dynamic assignments in English language learning. Results indicate that students participating in the dynamic assignment group showed statistically significant improvements in overall language proficiency, particularly in speaking and writing skills (p < 0.05). Additionally, these students reported higher levels of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement (p < 0.05), which were positively correlated with their language proficiency improvements (r = 0.62, p < 0.01). This suggests that the more engaged students are in their learning process, the better their language learning outcomes. From the qualitative data, students expressed a greater motivation and interest in learning English, attributing this to the real-world relevance and applicability of the dynamic assignments. Teachers corroborated these findings, noting enhanced active participation, collaboration, and improvements in students’ communication skills and confidence. However, both students and teachers identified challenges, including increased preparation time and the need for clearer guidelines to maximize the benefits of dynamic assignments. The study concludes that dynamic assignment strategies significantly contribute to improving language proficiency and engagement among English language learners. It suggests that addressing the identified challenges could further optimize the effectiveness of these strategies. This research advocates for a shift towards more interactive, relevant, and engaging teaching methodologies in language education to better prepare learners for real-world communication.
