Education is a planned effort to create an ideal learning environment. The learning and assessment process is an integral part of achieving basic competencies in the curriculum. However, traditional measurements such as national exams do not always reflect students' talents and the actual quality of education. This article proposes the use of authentic assessment as a solution to measure real student learning outcomes, which also reveal students' real abilities that can be applied in real life. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach and source triangulation techniques to evaluate the principles and role of authentic assessment in learning. Authentic assessment principles include holistic measurement and various aspects of learning, as well as using various methods and sources. Authentic assessment plays an important role in improving the teaching-learning process and improving student learning outcomes by encouraging conceptual understanding, problem solving, and application of knowledge in real contexts. Additionally, authentic assessments provide feedback that allows students to improve the quality of their learning. Authentic assessment is expected to change the educational paradigm to be more student-oriented and increase the relevance of learning to real life.

Recognizing outstanding students is an essential strategy to encourage learners to improve their academic performance and overall learning quality. However, the process of selecting the best students at SMK Negeri 1 Raman Utara still encounters significant challenges due to the complexity of the evaluation criteria, which include academic achievement, attendance, participation in extracurricular activities, and student behavior. The current manual selection method is considered less effective because it is time-consuming and susceptible to subjectivity in decision-making. This study aims to address these issues by developing a technology-based Decision Support System utilizing the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. SAW was chosen for its efficiency in solving multi-criteria problems through matrix normalization and preference weighting for each alternative. The development process includes requirement analysis, system design, and the implementation of an automated ranking mechanism for student candidates. Based on the testing results, the implemented system can process assessment data rapidly and produce accurate and objective rankings of high-achieving students. The system offers a practical solution for the school by enhancing transparency and validity in the selection process, minimizing human calculation errors, and supporting more equitable and data-driven decision-making.

Teaching the Al-Qur’an is the core of Islamic education, with the main aim of guiding children in reading, studying and understanding the Koran from an early age. The Al-Qur'an Education Park (TPQ) serves as an important platform to instill a love of the Al-Qur'an in children. Even though many TPQs have been successful with good administration and management and a large number of students, there are still TPQs that have not developed, such as the TPQ in Glidah Kedamean Village, Gresik. Observations show that learning management at TPQ does not meet recognized management and curriculum standards in education, resulting in suboptimal educational attainment. Responding to this problem, the Glidah Village TPQ Teacher Management Optimization team, together with KSPPS BMT Khoiru Ummah, initiated an intensive community service-based mentoring program using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method. The mentoring process involves several stages, starting from identifying problems through field observations, organizing and planning programs, to implementing program actions. The results of discussions and implementation of mentoring revealed a number of problems faced by teachers regarding TPQ management. The implementation of this mentoring activity has been empirically proven to have a positive impact, increasing the effectiveness of management and the quality of education at the TPQ.

Education in Indonesia continues to grow, but the main challenge in learning Biology, especially in cell material, is the lack of student involvement.
