This research aims to find out the influence of the role playing learning model on increasing the ability to tell fantasy stories about class VII students at SMP Negeri 2 Siborongborong for the 2022/2023 academic year. The population in this study was 252 students. The sample in this study was 34 students for the experimental group and 32 students for the control group. So the sample in this study was 66 students taken using a random technique. The instruments used to collect data are treatment or practice instruments. The method used in this research is an experimental method with a posttest only design research design. Hypothesis testing is carried out using the "t" test. From data collection, the experimental group's average value was = 77.21 and the control group's average value was = 59.53. Based on the normality test, the results of the experimental group and control group were declared to be normally distributed. Then, based on the Homogeneity test it was stated that the sample came from a homogeneous population. After the normality test and homogeneity test were carried out, it was found to be 4.911. Next, this was consulted with the t table at the significance level α=0.05 with dk=(N1+N2)-2=(34+32)-2=64. From dk 64, the significance level α=0.05 = 1.669 is obtained. Thus, tcount > ttable, namely 4.911 > 1.669. Thus the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. So it can be concluded that it has a positive effect on the ability to tell fantasy stories by VII students at SMP Negeri 2 Siborongborong for the 2022/2023 academic year.  

The background of this research is that not all students can understand this problem-based learning, and also not all students are able to think actively in solving problems that occur. Students are less enthusiastic in participating in learning and students who play around or don't focus on learning. From the problems that exist, the researcher is interested in studying the application of problem-based learning in Islamic Religious Education Class X at SMAN 1 Kapur IX District and its inhibiting factors. This study aims to find out how the application of this problem-based learning strategy and its inhibiting factors. This type of research is a descriptive qualitative research that describes problem-based learning strategies in Islamic Religious Education Class X at SMAN 1 Kapur IX District. In collecting data researchers used observation techniques, interviews and documentation. Meanwhile, to analyze it, the researcher uses data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. Based on the results of the research conducted, the authors found that Islamic Religious Education teachers apply problem-based learning strategies starting from teacher planning in preparing lessons by making lesson plans which serve as teacher guidelines in teaching and learning activities carried out in the classroom. The application of problem-based learning strategies is carried out through three activities, namely preliminary activities, core activities and closing activities. The activity starts from the teacher entering the class by greeting, conditioning the class and then praying together after that the teacher explains the indicators and learning objectives. The core activities of student learning are given related to learning problems then students will observe and find solutions to the problems that occur. Closing activities at the end with the teacher and concluding student lessons, giving assignments and praying together. The inhibiting factors found were time allocation, students who were less able to solve problems that occurred and students playing games during learning.

The background of this research is based on the results of observations with teachers and students that teachers in using audio-visual-based learning media are already creative but not maximally.

The main problem in this paper is the unsatisfactory student learning outcomes caused by several factors, namely factors from within the students themselves, namely student interest, attention, talent and student IQ and factors from outside the student's self, namely environmental factors. This is evidenced by the lack of students' understanding of historical material about Islam in the modern era (1800-present). In addition, learning activities often only store event names, chronologies, years, and character names. Therefore it is hoped that the use of audio-visual learning media can arouse students' interest and not be boring. The purpose of this research is to find out how the learning outcomes are using audio-visual media in learning Islamic Religious Education Class XI SMKN 2 Bukittinggi.

The ease of using Smartphones and the many functions that help with activities, make today's teenagers very familiar with Smartphones, including students at SMP Negeri 1 Tantom Angkola. Students tend to use Smartphones for various reasons, such as just wanting to play games and being too active on social media. The impact of Smartphone dependence, especially on student development, will have a negative impact from an academic point of view. The nature of dependence does not just happen, the influence of one another is certainly interconnected or correlated and forms a causal relationship. This paper aims to see how much influence Smartphone dependency has on the learning behavior of students at SMP Negeri 1 Tantom Angkola and which variables have the most influence on the learning behavior of SMP Negeri 1 Tantom Angkola Students. The method used in this study is the Path Analysis method. Path Analysis is a technique for analyzing causal relationships that occur when exogenous variables affect endogenous variables, not only directly but also indirectly. Path Analysis is used to determine the direct and indirect effects of exogenous variables on an endogenous variable which is reflected in the path coefficient. From the research results, it is obtained that the direct influence of social media variables  on learning behavior  = 44.9%, the large direct influence of online game variables  on learning behavior  = 40.7%, the direct influence of internet data package variables  on learning behavior  = 0.4%, the direct effect of school control variables  on learning behavior  = 85.2%. Then the variable that has the greatest influence on learning behavior is the school control variable with a value of 85.2%.
