This research aims to examine the learning methods and challenges faced by several students when solving mathematics problems regarding number patterns, with an emphasis on analyzing students' thinking processes. This study employs an approach to analyze students' ways of thinking. In this study, a qualitative approach is used with a case study method on a group of junior high school students. Information was collected through observations and analysis of students' work. The findings of the research indicate that students apply various strategies in understanding the material of number patterns, which include memorizing patterns to trying to find their own formulas. However, many students face difficulties in drawing conclusions about patterns and connecting relevant mathematical concepts to everyday life. Common mistakes include errors in recognizing patterns, errors in calculations, and a lack of precision in understanding problems. Analysis of the thinking process shows that some students are still at the concrete operational thinking level, so they need visual aids and real-life examples to better understand patterns. This research emphasizes the need for an approach in teaching that can enhance students' abstract thinking abilities and requires varied practice in determining numerical pattern problems.

This study aims to improve Arabic vocabulary acquisition in lower grade students through a food knowledge-based approach at Srimuda Guidance Centre, Kuala Lumpur. Arabic as the language of the Qur'an is very important to learn from an early age, but its learning is often considered difficult by children due to non-contextualised methods. To overcome this, this research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation during the learning activities that took place in three sessions. Each session involved the introduction of food vocabulary in Arabic through activities such as matching pictures, drawing favourite foods, role-playing as sellers and buyers, to simple quizzes. The results showed that students were more enthusiastic and able to remember and mention at least five food vocabulary words in Arabic correctly. The use of real media and interactive activities is proven to make children understand and absorb new vocabulary faster because it is in accordance with their cognitive development stage. This study concludes that learning Arabic vocabulary with a food theme approach can be an effective, fun and contextualised method for early childhood. The implication of this study can be used as a reference in developing Arabic language teaching methods in non-formal and formal educational institutions at the early age level.

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.
