This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using the lecture method to enhance students’ comprehension of Ottoman Turkish History in class VIII at SMPN 1 Telagasari. The primary issue identified is the students' low grasp of historical content, which tends to be chronological and information-heavy. The study adopts a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, conducted in two cycles, each comprising planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection phases. Data collection was done using a 20-item multiple-choice test and analyzed quantitatively. Findings revealed that only 10% of students passed in the pre-cycle with an average score of 25, increasing to 40% in the first cycle with an average score of 35, and reaching 45% in the second cycle with an average score of 45. Despite the incremental improvements, the outcomes did not meet the minimum success criteria (≥75% of students achieving the passing score). This indicates that the lecture method alone has limitations in significantly enhancing students’ understanding unless integrated with more interactive teaching strategies.

This study was conducted because some students are still less able in learning multiplication or have not memorized multiplication from 1 to 10 and students who still think that multiplication operations are difficult to memorize, so that their multiplication calculation ability is still quite low. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the jarimatika method with the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model on the multiplication calculation ability of grade 3 students of SD Negeri Pangarangan V. This study uses a quantitative descriptive research type with a descriptive model and a pre-experimental design approach. The sample in this study used 30 grade 3 students. Data collection techniques used in this study were observation, interviews, documentation and tests. Hypothesis testing requires data collection, in this study the researcher used a test (pretest-posttest). The implementation of the pretest and posttest can be seen from the average. The average pretest score obtained by students was 60.33 and the posttest score obtained by students was 80.00. Furthermore, the prerequisite test, namely the normality test, the researcher used the Shapiro Wilk technique. Based on the results of the normality test, the P-value at Sig. (2-tailed) in the pretest is 0.062 <0.05 and the P-value at Sig. (2-tailed) in the posttest is 0.065 <0.05. Next is the hypothesis test using the t-test (paired sample t-test), the results of the t-test calculation (paired sample t-test) using the help of SPSS 26 computer software show the P-value results at Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.000 which means <0.05 means H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Thus, the results of the hypothesis test state that the jarimatika method with the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model is effective for the multiplication calculation ability of grade 3 students at SDN Pangarangan V.

Oil palm is a key commodity supporting Indonesia’s economy through exports and employment. The industry’s success depends heavily on the selection of superior seedlings, which determine productivity, crop quality, and resistance to pests and diseases. Manual selection, however, often leads to subjectivity and inconsistency due to limited human resources and genetic variation. To address this, the study applies the Naïve Bayes algorithm for classifying oil palm seedlings based on seven variables: height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf color, disease resistance, root growth, and fruit yield. Using an explanatory quantitative method, the study follows seven stages: identifying problems, literature review, collecting 1,000 data entries from PT Intitama Berlian Perkebunan, data pre-processing, system modeling (UML), algorithm implementation, and evaluation using a confusion matrix and black box testing. Data was split into 80% training and 20% testing. The Naïve Bayes-based classification achieved 95% accuracy and perfect recall (1.00) for the superior seedling class. However, its performance on the minority class (non-superior seedlings) was weaker due to dataset imbalance. Black box testing verified all system functions worked correctly, enabling effective and efficient use by administrators. The study concludes that Naïve Bayes improves objectivity, efficiency, and accuracy in seedling selection. Nonetheless, attention is needed on data balancing and optimization to maintain consistent performance across classes. This system shows strong potential as a decision-support tool in plantations and promotes digital transformation in agricultural processes.
