This study aims to measure the effectiveness of the use of Project-Based Learning (PjBL)-based learning media in improving the motivation and learning outcomes of grade XI students at SMKN 1 Gunung Kijang Bintan. The background of this research is the low motivation of students which has an impact on suboptimal learning outcomes, especially in subjects that require an in-depth understanding of concepts. PjBL is considered relevant because it provides students with the opportunity to be actively involved in real projects, potentially improving motivation and critical thinking skills. The method used is a quantitative research method with a correlational approach to test the relationship between learning motivation, the use of learning media, and student learning outcomes. The results showed that the use of PjBL-based learning media had a significant influence on student learning outcomes, while student learning motivation had no significant effect. These findings support the importance of interactive learning media in the learning process and suggest that the use of appropriate media can facilitate students' understanding of the material being taught.

This study aims to describe in depth the implementation of financial education in fostering a habit of saving among fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 121313 Tanjung Pinggir, Pematang Siantar. This activity is part of the Community Service Program (KKN) conducted by students of the State Islamic University of North Sumatra (UINSU). This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation of learning activities and the implementation of the savings program at school. The data obtained was then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes the process of data reduction, data presentation, and interactive conclusion drawing. The results showed that the implementation of financial education by UINSU KKN students had a positive impact on changes in students' financial behavior. This financial education activity not only fostered financial skills but also shaped students' characters to be more responsible, disciplined, thrifty, and socially empathetic by encouraging them to share some of their savings. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of simple habit-based financial education through UINSU KKN activities has proven effective in fostering interest and enthusiasm for saving among elementary school students and contributes to shaping positive character traits that will be useful in their future lives.

This study aims to identify the challenges in teaching maharatul qiro’ah at Madrasah Aliyah Uswatun Hasanah and propose solutions to enhance students’ fluency in Arabic. As a fundamental language skill, maharatul qiro’ah often encounters various obstacles, including students' limited understanding of Arabic phonology and grammar, low learning motivation, and the lack of diverse teaching methods. To address these issues, this research suggests adopting more varied and interactive teaching approaches, utilizing technology to support reading practice, and improving teachers' competencies through training programs. Additionally, parental and community support is considered a crucial factor in facilitating students’ learning processes. By implementing these strategies, students are expected to improve their reading skills in Arabic texts and gain a more comprehensive mastery of the language, which will contribute to their understanding of Islamic teachings and their application in daily life. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to enhancing the quality of Arabic language instruction at Madrasah Aliyah Uswatun Hasanah and serve as a reference for other educational institutions in developing Arabic learning strategies.

In the beginning, the Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) Learning Activities in Grade III of Elementary School 116/X Lambur II used a learning model that was not varied, especially still using conventional learning models, so that the learning process in the classroom did not use technology at all. The lack of use of learning models that were less varied, coupled with learning media that only relied on books, made students feel bored and less interested in participating in learning. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) which was carried out in two cycles consisting of planning, implementation, observation and reflection. The subjects in this study were Grade III students of Elementary School 116/X Lambur II. Data analysis techniques: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions or verification, while data sources: resource persons, documentation, and teaching and learning processes. The results of this study indicate that there is an increase in students' creative thinking skills. Starting from the pre-cycle of learning activities that have not used the Game Based Learning model, student learning outcomes are only 5 out of 20 students who are said to have completed with a percentage of 20% with an average score of 49. Furthermore, from the results of the cycle I action, the minimum score has not been reached, so the study was continued in the cycle II action by making several improvements from the results of the cycle I reflection. From the results of the cycle II action, there was an increase where 18 out of 20 students were declared complete with a percentage of completion of 90% and obtained an overall average score of 85.
