Getting satisfactory student learning outcomes is the most expected goal by all teachers. However, if the reality is not as expected, especially in elementary school units, of course, teachers' steps do not stop to improve and achieve the main goal. That is what happened to students in grade VI of SDN Harjasari 1, South Bogor District, Bogor City, where the Writer is assigned. The lack of student learning activities in the classroom is the main cause of not getting maximum learning results. For this reason, the author conducted research by applying the Group Investigation Learning Model  as a step to maximize student learning outcomes in the classroom. By forming heterogeneous groups to carry out Natural and Social Science practice activities on artificial vegetative plant propagation, students are more active and can provide group results that are inventions. As a result, students were able to show an increase in learning outcomes well, from 81.5% in the first cycle to 92.6% in the second cycle. Conveying the results of group work, discussing, expressing discoveries while practicing, being thorough, appreciating the work of other groups and providing good learning results is proof that by applying the Group Investigation learning model  has succeeded in achieving the research goals expected by the author. However, this achievement does not indicate that this is the end of the learning model in the teaching and learning process in schools. Educators should use a variety of more interesting learning models to achieve their desired educational goals and as a way to improve their quality as professional teachers at the elementary school level in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the effect of French nail art design results without and with the overlay technique in terms of beauty, texture, and durability. Nail art has rapidly developed alongside modern beauty trends, especially among women. The French manicure, known for its classic and elegant look, has evolved with the addition of overlay techniques to improve the final outcome. The overlay technique adds a protective layer intended to strengthen, enhance, and increase the longevity of nail art. This research used a quantitative experimental method with a quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of six students from the Cosmetology and Beauty Education program at Universitas Negeri Padang, divided into two treatment groups: three participants received French nail art without overlay (X1), and the other three with overlay (X2). Assessment was conducted by seven panelists, including academic and industry experts. The findings showed that the use of the overlay technique resulted in higher scores across all evaluated indicators. The average scores for beauty, texture, and durability using the overlay technique were 3.57, 3.43, and 3.57 respectively, while without overlay they were 2.57, 2.43, and 2.71. T-test analysis revealed significant differences between the two treatments. Therefore, the overlay technique is concluded to be more effective in enhancing the quality of French nail art.
