Education is a process needed to obtain balance and perfection in the development of individuals and society. Education itself is faced with various problems that become obstacles to the quality of education itself. This can be seen in various aspects, some of which include the lack of adequate physical facilities such as the feasibility of buildings used in the learning process. These problems can hinder the development of students to reach their best potential and cause inequality in terms of access to quality education. There are differences in the quality of education in rural and urban areas, where rural areas have more specific challenges such as lack of school facilities, difficulty of access, and technological and social changes. In the context of education, technology has changed the way we learn, access information and communicate. Social changes, such as changing demographics, can also affect the way we design education systems. These factors create pressures on education that require creative thinking and innovative solutions. This research uses qualitative research methods through a phenomenological approach. The theoretical foundation used in this research is the functional structural theory proposed by Talcott Parson. Data collection in this study used interviews, observation, and documentation.  

Learning pattern is a process or sequence in learning that can help children understand a topic. Children's learning patterns are different because children have different learning characteristics. This study aims to determine the learning patterns of children of cigarette factory workers in parental guidance based on structural and functional studies. This study uses a case study qualitative research method. Qualitative research is a research technique that provides descriptive information in the form of speech or writing and observed individual behavior. Case studies are an appropriate strategy for research where how or why research questions are used, the researcher has little time to control the events being studied, and the focus of the research is on current phenomena that follow current events. The data collection technique was carried out by means of literature study, recording, interviews, recording and documentation. In this study also used an interactive model with steps that include data collection, presentation and drawing conclusions in analyzing data. Based on the results of the research, it shows that the learning pattern applied by children whose parents work in factories is an independent learning pattern where children study at home independently and are also caged with the help of their older siblings and parents. From this research, there are implications, namely children whose parents are factory workers already have good preparation for learning before starting learning. Making school lesson schedules, taking notes on subject matter. However, noting the subject matter has not been fully implemented properly, because there are children who want to learn when given homework.

An audit is a systematic, independent examination of financial statements, accounting records, and supporting documents prepared by management, the purpose of which is to form an opinion on the accuracy of financial statements. Financial statements must have relevant characteristics (reliability) and reliability (reliability). Without the services of auditors, management cannot convince outsiders that the financial statements presented by management contain reliable and reliable information. Independence is the auditor's attitude to impartiality. The experience of the examiner contributes to high-quality inspection. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of auditor behavior, time pressure, audit experience, and independence on audit quality.   The research was conducted at a Public Accounting Firm (KAP) in Medan City. The number of research samples of 80 people was selected by the nonprobability sampling method. Data collection was carried out by questionnaire through Google form and literature studies that supported this study. The method used in this study is to use the Structural Equation Model (SEM) equation using the Partial Least Square (PLS) tool version 3.0. PLS consists of external relationships (outer model) and internal relationships (inner model), cross-loading> 0.7, Composite Reliability, Convergent Validity, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that the first, second, fourth, and seventh hypotheses were rejected where each variable such as auditor behavior, and time pressure,  did not affect audit quality and independence could not moderate the influence between auditor behavior on audit quality,  independence could not moderate audit quality. The third, fifth, and sixth hypotheses are accepted where each variable such as audit experience, independence moderates the effect of time pressure on audit quality, and independence moderates the effect of audit experience on audit quality.

Designing and validating structural causal model (SCM) correctness from a dataset whose background knowledge is obtained from a research process is not a common phenomenon. Studies have shown that in many critical areas, such as healthcare and education, researchers develop models from direct acyclic graphs (DAG), a component of an SCM, without testing them. This phenomenon is worrisome and is bound to cast a shadow on the inference estimates that may arise from such models. In this study, we have designed a novel application-based SCM for the first time using the background knowledge obtained from the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) program called the Strengthen Education in Northeast Nigeria (SENSE-EGRA), which is an educational intervention program of the American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola, on the letter identification subtask. This project was sponsored by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). We employed the conditional independence test (CIT) criteria for the validation of the SCM’s correctness, and the results show a near-perfect SCM.
