Reading literacy skills are an important foundation in the learning process of lower grade elementary school students. Unfortunately, many students have difficulty in understanding reading and have low reading interest. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the use of interactive children's stories in improving the reading literacy skills of lower grade elementary school students. The method used was a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. The subjects of the study consisted of two classes: an experimental class that used interactive children's story media, and a control class that used conventional methods. The results showed that students who learned with interactive children's stories experienced significant improvements in three main aspects of literacy, namely word recognition, reading comprehension, and reading interest. This media provides a fun and contextual reading experience through a combination of audio, visuals, and interactivity. In addition, students are more enthusiastic and active during the learning process. Thus, interactive children's stories have proven effective as an alternative to innovative literacy learning that is in accordance with technological developments. It is recommended that teachers integrate this media into learning and schools support the development of infrastructure that supports the use of digital media in the classroom.

This research iss motivated by the problem of the lack of digital learning facilities that can be flexibly accessed by students and theachers at SMP Djama'atul Ichwan Surakarta, so that interaction in the theaching and learning proces is limited. The theories applied in this study include the concept of E-Learning as a distance learning method rooted in information technology, web-based system development, and an interactive technology integration approach to increase effectiveness and engagement in learning. The method used is the Waterfall model system development life cycle (SDLC), which includes the stages of needs analysis, system design, implementation with PHP and MySQL using the CodeIgniter framework, and function testing. The research findings show that the designed web-based E-Learning system successfully provides features for managing student and teacher data, distributing teaching materials, scheduling lessons, giving assignments, and interaction through discussion forums. This system is considered capable of supporting a more organized and interactive online education process.The implementation of this systemis expected to a long-term solution to overcome the limitations of traditional learning methods and become a foundation for the development of digital learning platforms in the futur.

Mathematics is often perceived as a subject that is difficult for students to master, a notion that has been confirmed by numerous previous studies. One of the contributing factors is the limited variety of instructional media used in classrooms, which affects students' interest and comprehension. Many teachers still lack appropriate learning media to support blended learning approaches. This study aims to develop and implement multimedia-based Educational Instructional Media (EIM) that are valid, practical, and effective. The project utilizes video-based learning to deliver algebra concepts material for Grade VII students at SMPN 252 Jakarta and SMPIT Al-Qudwah. The development process follows the ADDIE model, which includes five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. During the analysis phase, both learning needs and content requirements were mapped according to SAP (System Analysis and Product). The material was then divided into seven core sections. In the design stage, the curriculum structure, system flow, and user interface were developed. The development stage involved creating instructional content based on the analysis results. The content was then uploaded to the Moodle platform and presented using the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model.

Penelitian ini menganalisis pola ancaman siber global dengan menggunakan metode Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) berdasarkan dataset “Global Cybersecurity Threats (2015–2024)” yang disusun oleh Atharva Soundankar dan dipublikasikan di Kaggle. Dataset tersebut mencakup 3.000 insiden keamanan siber dari berbagai negara, dengan atribut seperti negara, tahun, jenis serangan, industri sasaran, kerugian finansial, jumlah pengguna terdampak, sumber serangan, jenis kerentanan, mekanisme pertahanan, dan waktu penyelesaian insiden. Melalui pendekatan EDA dan visualisasi interaktif dengan Tableau, penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi pola, tren, dan anomali dari serangan siber global serta menguji dua hipotesis utama: (1) jenis serangan DDoS dan phishing merupakan yang paling dominan secara global; dan (2) sektor teknologi informasi dan perbankan merupakan industri paling rentan terhadap serangan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kedua hipotesis tersebut terbukti, di mana DDoS dan phishing menempati urutan teratas sebagai jenis serangan terbanyak, dan sektor IT serta perbankan paling sering menjadi sasaran. Temuan ini memberikan kontribusi penting dalam penyusunan strategi mitigasi serangan siber, khususnya pada sektor-sektor vital. Visualisasi data juga memberikan dukungan kuat dalam pemahaman pola ancaman dan pengambilan keputusan berbasis data. Kata Kunci: Ancaman Siber, DDoS, Phishing, Industri IT, EDA, Visualisasi Data

Pasar properti rumah memiliki harga yang bervariasi tergantung lokasi dan spesifikasi bangunan. Penelitian ini melakukan segmentasi harga properti berdasarkan lokasi (latitude & longitude), harga, dan luas bangunan menggunakan algoritma K-Means Clustering. Dataset berisi 18.962 data properti dari wilayah Bandung dan sekitarnya. Data melalui tahap pembersihan, transformasi lokasi ke koordinat geografis, normalisasi, dan denormalisasi untuk memastikan kualitas analisis.
