Creativity is the ability to generate new and innovative ideas that are valuable and useful in a particular context. In higher education, creativity is very important because it encourages students to think critically, solve problems effectively, and innovate in their fields of study. This study aims to test the effectiveness of using e-modules based on metacreative strategies in improving students' creativity in the Makeup and Beauty Research course at Padang State University. This type of research uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a pretest-posttest control group design. The population of this study was students of the Makeup and Beauty study program class of 2021 with a sample size of 53 people. Data analysis techniques in this research consist of descriptive statistics, creativity assessment scale, n-gain score test, prerequisite analysis test, and hypothesis testing (Independent sample t-test). The results showed that there was a significant increase in the level of student creativity in the experimental group and the control group. The average pretest score in the control group was 56.72 and the posttest was 64.07 with an N-gain of 0.17 (low category). Meanwhile, the experimental group had an average pretest score of 60.00 and a posttest of 78.77 with an N-gain of 0.46 (moderate category). The results of the hypothesis test using the independent sample t-test showed a sig.(2-tailed) value of 0.000 <0.05, so there was a significant difference between the experimental group using e-modules based on meta-creative strategies and the control group using conventional learning methods. This shows that the use of e-modules based on meta-creative strategies is effective in improving student creativity.

Project-Based Learning is a learning model that uses projects as the core of learning (Permendikbud, 2014:20). This learning model is an innovative learning model that involves project work where students work independently in constructing their learning and culminating it in real products (Nanang Hanafiah and Cucu Suhana, 2009:30). Project Based Learning learning model is a learning strategy where students must build their own content knowledge and demonstrate new understanding through various forms of representation (NYC Department of Education 2009:8). characteristics of the PJBL Learning Model The Project Based Learning, learning model was developed based on the level of development of students' thinking, centered on students' learning activities so as to enable them to carry out activities according to their skills, comfort and learning interests. This model gives students the opportunity to determine for themselves the project they will work on, both in terms of formulating questions to be answered, choosing topics to research, and determining research activities to be carried out. The teacher's role in learning is as a facilitator, providing materials and work experience, encouraging students to discuss and solve problems, and ensuring students remain enthusiastic while they carry out the project.   Keywords: project-based learning model

Education is important in human progress. Likewise, Islamic education plays a very important role in determining the quality of life of Muslims. Unfortunately, in this modern era it can be clearly felt that Islamic education is lagging behind modern western education. According to Al-Faruqi an Al-Attas' view, this is evidenced by the existence of an identity crisis, the loss of economic, political and intellectual independence in the Islamic world, the existence of sectarianism that focuses on borders rather than development, and the slow adoption of new technology and modernization (Ramdhani, 2013). There are several factors that cause these things, namely: the influence of western science and philosophy, colonialism, lack of Islamic unity and lack of modernization of the Islamic world. To overcome these problems, several ulama proposed the Islamization of science. This article was created to discuss the concept of Islamization of science using the SLR method. The Islamization of Science aims to integrate Islamic principles and values into the field of science and knowledge which involves a process of rethinking, re-evaluating and reconstructing scientific knowledge to enrich the vision and struggle of Islam (Sahide, 2015). The concept of Islamization of Science was introduced by Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi who defined it as an effort to integrate science into the unity of Muslim life. Which aims to improve the quality of Islamic education, and it is hoped that it can also improve the quality of life of Muslims in this era.

Introduction: In teenage relationships, casual sex has become commonplace, especially kissing. Drug cases have occurred and been reported. Apart from the high risk of HIV transmission in this region, the role of health workers in preventive measures is still limited to health education or brief outreach through advertisements or pamphlets. This has resulted in a lot of misunderstanding of information about HIV, especially in terms of prevention.  So a comprehensive health education strategy regarding HIV is needed taking into account technological advances that are easily accessible and reliable. The application used for HIV prevention programs in adolescents is HIV Info Corner. This application contains comprehensive educational material about HIV, HIV risk behavior, and issues surrounding adolescent problems. Apart from that, this application is equipped with a consultation chat room so that teenagers can ask questions and discuss directly about HIV and HIV risk behavior. Teenagers are encouraged to download and install the HIV Info Corner application and use it and read the information or content contained in it. Of the 20 teenagers, there are 15 teenagers who do not know about the benefits of the HIV Corner application in Bangun Rejo village, therefore health education is needed about the use of application-based technology in preventing HIV AIDS in teenagers, with the hope that teenagers can use the HIV prevention application and spread it to teenagers who have not received this information.

The Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method is a popular approach in education that allows students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills through solving real problems. PBL involves steps such as problem identification, research, and presentation of solutions, with a focus on students learning independently and in small groups. Although PBL is effective in improving student learning outcomes, there are challenges such as the need for teachers who are skilled in guiding students and longer time to solve problems. Characteristics of PBL include student-centered learning, teachers as facilitators, and problems as learning stimuli. The PBL strategy emphasizes the importance of starting learning with problems that are relevant to students' real lives and gives students great responsibility in their own learning process. The research method in this study uses qualitative research methods. The method used is library research.

Computational thinking is the ability to solve problems and design systems using concepts and techniques generally associated with computers and computer programming. The aim of this research is to conduct a literature review, namely to determine the application of computational thinking in mathematics learning. The technique used is the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) strategy. SLR is a research method that aims to identify, study and interpret data in journals systematically with specified stages. The conclusion obtained from the research results is that the application of computational thinking in mathematics learning can be done using four foundations of computational thinking, namely: (1) Decomposition, namely the problem is divided into small parts, (2) Pattern recognition, namely the process of identifying patterns or sequences of problems, (3) Abstraction, namely consideration of the important parts of a problem, and (4) Algorithm, namely a series of instructions for solving the problem. Examples of its application include the use of interactive mathematics software, mathematical simulations, problem-based learning with technology, adaptive learning and the use of educational games.  

Drug use is a serious problem that not only impacts individuals personally, but also disrupts social stability and the welfare of society at large. This does not only happen in certain circles, but reaches various levels of society, including teenagers and youth. Factors such as a lack of understanding of the risks, environmental stress, and a lack of social support contribute to worsening the situation. This research aims to analyze the background, causal factors, impacts, and efforts to prevent drug abuse using a theologically based contextual approach. In this research, a qualitative descriptive method was applied by analyzing various literature references. Findings show that drug abuse has a detrimental impact on individuals' physical and mental health, affects social stability, and threatens the future of young people. Prevention efforts involving the role of parents, educational institutions, society and religion are crucial in overcoming this problem. A theologically based contextual approach is also proposed as a strategy that can strengthen understanding of the dangers of drugs and encourage individuals to take a wiser attitude in dealing with them. Thus, this research contributes to increasing understanding of the complexity of drug abuse problems and assists in the development of more effective prevention strategies.

This research aims to deal with educational problems, namely truant behavior, the method used is a qualitative method with the type of observation at SMAN 8 Cirebon City school. Observation is a strategy for obtaining information by direct observation. Truant behavior is a deviant act which, if left unchecked, will hamper the success of an education, truancy or absence without permission has become commonplace now. In America, absenteeism is considered a problematic issue. This is because according to several studies, truant behavior is considered a predictor of juvenile delinquency. This truant behavior occurs due to two factors, namely internal factors and external factors, one example of which is the low level of student motivation, and problems in the community or family environment experienced by students. Here the role of the Guidance Teacher is needed to provide solutions and motivation, as well as appropriate direction in providing the approaches and techniques that students need.  

This study examines the effectiveness of Project Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing cross-cultural communication skills within international language education programs. As globalization increases, effective communication across cultures is essential, and language programs must equip students with these skills. PBL, a learner-centered instructional strategy, integrates real-world problems into the learning process, promoting student participation, collaboration, and critical thinking. The research found that students engaged in PBL showed significant improvements in communication competence, collaboration, and intercultural understanding compared to those in traditional lecture-based instruction. The study suggests that PBL not only enhances language proficiency but also fosters cultural awareness and empathy through projects involving cross-cultural collaboration and problem-solving. Furthermore, PBL offers a more effective platform for practicing language skills in real-world scenarios, as opposed to traditional methods focused on theoretical aspects. The findings demonstrate that PBL is particularly effective in international programs, where students from diverse cultural backgrounds work together to solve global issues, thus improving their ability to communicate and collaborate across cultures. The research concludes that integrating PBL into international language education programs significantly enhances students' cross-cultural communication skills. The study encourages educational institutions to adopt PBL and suggests further research on complementary strategies, including technology, virtual exchanges, and intercultural simulations.

Mathematics is a fundamental science that underpins many aspects of daily life.  Where mathematics can be used as a method of solving problems that we face in life activities, such as in using information, knowledge and seeing and using relationships between objects. Not only that, the important role of mathematics includes the formation and development of rational, logical, systematic and critical thinking skills. In the study conducted by Putrihapsari and Fauziah (2020), Nazir (2014) defines literature study as a research approach that involves evaluating a multitude of literature studies that are pertinent to the research being conducted. This strategy is employed in research as a preliminary stage to organise the investigation by gathering data from literature in the subject, without the necessity for direct involvement. By using the PjBL model, it is hoped that it can cover 21st century skills so that it can improve the quality of students' mathematical literacy skills. Given that students must collaborate from the outset, the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning paradigm may assist them in developing the skills required to work effectively in groups. In order for students to comprehend the rationale and benefits of the mathematics education they receive in the classroom, this learning paradigm is essential for fostering mathematical literacy.

Critical competence plays an important role in students' ability to solve a problem that occurs. Through PBL, students are trained to develop ideas, or ideas that can facilitate them in problem solving and learning activities at school. By using the Problem-Based Learning paradigm to achieve learning objectives in elementary schools, students' critical competencies are developed. This form of learning looks at the relationship between critical thinking and student learning outcomes by using a qualitative approach with literature study as a source of in-depth analysis. A suitable approach to help students build critical thinking skills is a problem-based learning strategy. Students are encouraged to actively participate in solving problems that arise when using the Problem-Based Learning paradigm, according to the learning outcomes. By using this problem-based learning approach, students are encouraged to investigate a problem in more detail and from a broader perspective. Students can come up with original ideas in this situation or ideas for problem solving. By developing students' critical thinking skills and highlighting the important role that teachers play in fostering an enjoyable learning environment and acting as facilitators in the teaching and learning process, the Problem Based Learning model has been proven to improve the quality of teaching and student learning outcomes in educational settings.

This research discusses the importance of educational character in preventing bullying in educational units. Character education is an educational system whose learning can influence everyone, especially education to demonstrate moral values, ethics and civic attitudes towards oneself and others. However, character education is currently a challenge in its implementation, especially with the rise of problems such as verbal and non-verbal bullying among students. Moreover, now the problem of bullying does not only occur in ordinary schools, but can also occur in international schools. One of the factors is a lack of ability to control behavior, an inability to manage emotions which ultimately triggers a desire for revenge in order to adapt to the environment. The strategies needed to overcome bullying include teacher sensitivity towards students, creating a safe atmosphere, forming an anti-bullying team, and conducting outreach about the dangers of bullying.
