Learning tajweed in reading the Qur'an is not just an effort to improve the quality of reading, but also as a means to foster a deep understanding of the contents and messages of the Qur'an (tadabbur). This study aims to analyze the implementation of tajweed learning as a means of tadabbur Al-Qur'an in grade 4 of SD Negeri 3 Kalianan Krucil Probolinggo, focusing on the strategies applied, the challenges faced, and the impact on students' Islamic understanding. This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, involving classroom observation, interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of learning documents. The results show that the strategies used include the talaqqi and musyafahah methods, the use of interactive learning media, and the integration of Islamic values in every learning session. However, the main challenges faced are students' limited initial understanding of the laws of tajweed, the lack of technology-based learning facilities, and the varied levels of ability to read the Qur'an among students. Nevertheless, tajweed learning combined with the tadabbur approach proved effective in increasing students' awareness of the meaning of the verses read and fostering a love for the Qur'an. This study recommends improving supporting facilities such as interactive audiovisual media and special training for teachers to optimize teaching methods.

Improving the quality of educational services is a crucial aspect in ensuring effective learning and equitable access for all students. However, many schools still face challenges in strategic planning due to the lack of systematic data utilization in decision-making. This study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach at SMP Al Furqon and SMP Asy Syafaah in Jember Regency, which implement Data-Based Planning (PBD) through the Identify, Reflect, and Improve (IRB) method. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, and document analysis related to the implementation of PBD in schools. The findings indicate that the implementation of PBD contributes to improving school management effectiveness, student academic achievement, and the satisfaction of educators and parents. Schools that apply PBD can allocate resources more efficiently based on measurable needs analysis. Additionally, schools with better data management systems tend to identify and address educational issues more quickly. This research contributes to strengthening data-driven education policies to enhance the quality of school services sustainably and provides a strategic implementation model for other schools seeking to adopt a similar approach.

Healthy and balanced nutrition plays an important role in supporting students' physical, mental, and academic health, especially during growth. This community service activity aims to increase students' awareness of the importance of a healthy and balanced diet to support the learning process. This activity is carried out by involving nutrition education and nutritional status checks, such as body mass index (BMI), through a school-based approach at SMA St. Yoseph, East Jakarta. Students who have a healthy and balanced nutritional intake tend to have higher learning performance and concentration. Conversely, students with poor nutritional intake are more susceptible to infectious diseases and have lower attendance rates at school. Education provided interactively can increase students' awareness and understanding of the importance of a healthy and balanced nutritional intake. This is expected to be the first step to prevent nutritional disorders and improve the quality of students' health and academics in the future.
