The problem of education, especially in learning, is the low quality, relevance, and efficiency of learning so that the responsiveness and comprehension of students are very low. A learning approach is needed that fosters creativity and innovation in students, namely through the application of Contextual Learning (PKB). This article aims to explain the concept of implementing the Contextual Learning (PKB) model in the educational process in elementary schools. Contextual learning is an educational approach that allows instructors to connect learning materials with real-world scenarios and their relevance in the role of students as family members, citizens, and employees, while fostering active participation in the learning tasks required. The contextual approach (PKB) must be applied, because education is still dominated by the perception that knowledge consists of facts that require memorization. In this scenario, the function and role of the teacher remain dominant, so that students become obedient and uncreative. Students are expected to learn from personal experience rather than memorizing through this contextual approach. PKB emphasizes the importance of student involvement in finding material, highlights the importance of direct experience, and does not anticipate that students only absorb lessons; instead, PKB encourages students to actively seek learning resources. CTL improves students' ability to apply knowledge in real life, which shows that CTL not only aims for students to understand the topic but also understand how the topic affects their behavior in everyday life.

Preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school, and finally college, university, or apprenticeship are the typical phases of education. Another important factor in a region's development is education. Therefore, a decision support system that can make suggestions for choosing state institutions and study programs is required for West Sumba Regency SMA/Vocational Schools. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach is used to weight the value of each criterion, and the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method is used to calculate the weighted total or to order the alternatives from best. The weights of each alternative—a state university or study program—along with all of its features are added up to determine recommendations for selecting one. The chosen option will be indicated by a higher value. This system generates a report on the outcomes of management decisions, which includes the management's selections based on all options arranged from greatest to smallest SAW value. MySQL and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 were used to develop the decision support system suggestions for choosing state colleges and study programs for the database.

Politeness, for Javanese people is very important. Javanese culture highly upholds politeness or Eastern customs. A person's manners can be seen and assessed from their behavior (patrap) and speech (subasita/unggah-ungguh). So there is a proverb that says "Ajining raga tumata ing busana, ajining dhiri gumantung kedaling lathi", this expression implies that whether someone is good or not can be assessed from the way they dress and speak. Along with the development of the era of globalization today, Javanese cultural values ​​are increasingly being degraded. . The younger generation who are reluctant to apply the manners of Javanese language which are considered complicated, they also have difficulty using polite and respectful language (ragam krama). The reason is that manners are considered difficult so that they (especially young people today) are afraid that if they apply the correct manners incorrectly, they will be considered impolite or arrogant; the second reason is that Javanese language (ungguh-ungguh) is perceived as not bringing progress to their future ideals. Thus, socialization of Javanese politeness was held for elementary school students, with the aim of improving students' character and instilling politeness from an early age. Socialization was carried out for students in grades 5 and 6 at SDN 01 Kayumas and SDN 02 Kayumas. The delivery of simple materials and direct practice made it easier for students to understand the politeness material.

Science learning in elementary schools often faces challenges in improving students' learning outcomes, especially in the topic of energy transformation. This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students in science, particularly in the topic of energy transformation, through the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. This research uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method which consists of two cycles, each lasting one meeting. The results of the observation show that in the first cycle, students were active in learning but there were still some students who needed further guidance. In the second cycle, learning ran more effectively with students who were more focused and there were no longer any problems when divided into groups. The PBL model with the support of Canva presentation media successfully increased students' academic achievement, indicating that the PBL model is effective in helping students learn. The results of this study indicate that the PBL model can improve students' understanding and achievement in the topic of energy transformation. Therefore, the problem-based learning (PBL) model with the support of Canva presentation media is one of the effective approaches to improve the understanding of fourth-grade students in the topic of energy transformation.
