Learning activities can run smoothly if accompanied by the availability of appropriate learning media. Learning in the Machining Technology course requires direct practical activities, for example in understanding the use of lathes. The limitations of students' mastery of knowledge when facing the teaching and learning process that tends to be lecture-oriented, causing students' lack of understanding during practice. Learning media that is less interesting causes failure in delivering material, thereby reducing students' interest in learning. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Real Time Augmented Reality (RT-AR) Lathe media in the learning process of the Machining Technology course in the D-III Study Program, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Padang State University (FT-UNP). RT-AR media is designed to present interactive visualizations that describe the lathe work process in real time, so that it is expected to improve students' conceptual understanding and practical skills. The study used a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test and post-test design in two groups: the experimental group using RT-AR media and the control group using conventional learning methods. The results showed that there was a significant increase in the learning outcomes of students in the experimental group compared to the control group. In addition, RT-AR media is also able to increase students' motivation and active participation during the learning process. These findings indicate that RT-AR Lathe media is an effective and relevant learning innovation to be applied in vocational engineering education, especially in mastering lathing material.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using the lecture method to enhance students’ comprehension of Ottoman Turkish History in class VIII at SMPN 1 Telagasari. The primary issue identified is the students' low grasp of historical content, which tends to be chronological and information-heavy. The study adopts a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, conducted in two cycles, each comprising planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection phases. Data collection was done using a 20-item multiple-choice test and analyzed quantitatively. Findings revealed that only 10% of students passed in the pre-cycle with an average score of 25, increasing to 40% in the first cycle with an average score of 35, and reaching 45% in the second cycle with an average score of 45. Despite the incremental improvements, the outcomes did not meet the minimum success criteria (≥75% of students achieving the passing score). This indicates that the lecture method alone has limitations in significantly enhancing students’ understanding unless integrated with more interactive teaching strategies.

This study aims to: 1) Develop an Android-based learning media for the front handspring movement tailored for undergraduate physical education students at Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), 2) Assess the feasibility of the developed learning media, 3) Evaluate its effectiveness in enhancing students’ handspring skills. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design, validated by six experts. Trials were conducted with UNNES physical education students (small-scale: 6 students; large-scale: 40 students; practicality and effectiveness tests: 49 students). Data were collected using questionnaires and handspring skill tests. Data analysis involved Aiken’s V for validity, Cronbach’s Alpha for reliability, and descriptive quantitative analysis for effectiveness.The results indicated that the developed media is both valid and reliable, with expert validation scores of 0.95 (media) and 0.93 (content). Reliability testing yielded Alpha scores of 0.892 and 0.901, respectively. Effectiveness testing showed a significant improvement in handspring performance from an average pre-test score of 75 to a post-test score of 81, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.005. Therefore, the Android-based learning media is considered effective in improving front handspring skills among physical education students at UNNES.

The rapid evolution of digital technology has reshaped workforce training paradigms, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerging as a transformative tool. This study investigates the opportunities and challenges of implementing AI-based training systems to enhance workforce skills in the digital era. Data were collected through surveys, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions involving industry practitioners, AI developers, and workers. The results indicate a training effectiveness average of 70.2% (SD = 9.8) and satisfaction levels averaging 75.4% (SD = 8.5). Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between AI adoption and skill improvement, with a success probability of 68.9%. Despite these promising outcomes, challenges such as limited digital infrastructure, low digital literacy, and resistance to technology adoption persist, particularly in developing regions. This study provides strategic recommendations for inclusive digital transformation, emphasizing collaborative efforts between governments, private sectors, and educational institutions. These findings contribute to theoretical and practical knowledge for advancing AI-based training systems and fostering a sustainable, equitable workforce transformation.

Learning assessment at the primary school and madrasah level plays an important role in supporting a holistic education process. This study aims to explore teachers' understanding of formative and authentic assessments and the challenges they face in implementing them. Data shows that around 60% of teachers still rely on written test-based summative assessments, which tend to measure limited cognitive abilities and can cause stress in students. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, this research involved interviews with teachers and analysis of learning documents. Results show that teachers' understanding of formative and authentic assessments greatly affects the effectiveness of their implementation. Teachers who understand the importance of formative assessment are better able to provide constructive feedback, while an understanding of authentic assessment allows them to design tasks that are relevant to the real context. Challenges such as limited training and the habit of using traditional methods are still obstacles. This study recommends the need for continuous training for teachers to improve their understanding and skills in designing more diverse and effective assessments. Thus, it is expected that assessments can create more engaging learning experiences and support students' holistic development.
