This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the guided inquiry method in improving the understanding of the concept of chemical bonds. The method used was an experiment with a control group design, where one group was taught with the guided inquiry method, while the other group used the conventional method. The results showed that students who learned with the guided inquiry method had a better understanding of the concept compared to the control group. This finding indicates that the application of the guided inquiry method can be an effective strategy in improving the quality of chemistry learning in schools.

This study aims to analyze the extent of the use of ICT in Islamic religious education learning, what are the obstacles and constraints faced and how the YouTube application contributes as an additional learning resource to the understanding of students. The method used in this study is a qualitative method. This research was conducted at MDTA Ilyas Al-Fath where students in grade 1 were the subjects of this study.

Politeness, for Javanese people is very important. Javanese culture highly upholds politeness or Eastern customs. A person's manners can be seen and assessed from their behavior (patrap) and speech (subasita/unggah-ungguh). So there is a proverb that says "Ajining raga tumata ing busana, ajining dhiri gumantung kedaling lathi", this expression implies that whether someone is good or not can be assessed from the way they dress and speak. Along with the development of the era of globalization today, Javanese cultural values ​​are increasingly being degraded. . The younger generation who are reluctant to apply the manners of Javanese language which are considered complicated, they also have difficulty using polite and respectful language (ragam krama). The reason is that manners are considered difficult so that they (especially young people today) are afraid that if they apply the correct manners incorrectly, they will be considered impolite or arrogant; the second reason is that Javanese language (ungguh-ungguh) is perceived as not bringing progress to their future ideals. Thus, socialization of Javanese politeness was held for elementary school students, with the aim of improving students' character and instilling politeness from an early age. Socialization was carried out for students in grades 5 and 6 at SDN 01 Kayumas and SDN 02 Kayumas. The delivery of simple materials and direct practice made it easier for students to understand the politeness material.

The purpose is to develop the students of class XI-TFLM 2 of SMK Negeri 5 Surabaya in understanding the structure of news text by using SQ3R technique. The main problem identified is that students are unable to recognize the important elements of news text, such as title, introduction, news content, and conclusion. This research method includes two action cycles using the SQ3R strategy and consists of the following steps: research, questioning, reading, reciting, and reviewing. In Cycle I, this strategy was introduced to improve students' understanding of news text structure, resulting in an increase in students' average score from 55.82 points in the pre-action to 71.06 points. Based on the reflection of Cycle I, it was found that students still had difficulty distinguishing and analyzing the elements of news structure.

According to academic data, student math ability tests at MTSS PAB 5 Klambir Lima yield mixed results. There are students who understand math well, but there are also those who have difficulty understanding the mathematical concepts themselves. Math teachers at this school have difficulty designing lessons that can meet the needs of students with different levels of understanding. So, it is necessary to group student data to produce educational decision-making and improve learning effectiveness, such as through data mining. Data mining is a semi-automated process that uses machine learning techniques, mathematics, statistics, and artificial intelligence to identify and organize information contained in large databases. The process of finding information can be done by determining the decision rule based based on the level of student understanding in mathematics lessons using the Decision Tree Algorithm C4.5 method. The use of the Decision Tree algorithm C4.5 aims to make it easier to determine decision rules based on gender, Predicate, teacher teaching methods, student learning interest, and level of understanding. Based on the results of the study, it was found that if the teacher's teaching method is good, the predicate value is B, the student's learning interest is less interested, and the gender is male, then the student's level of understanding in mathematics lessons is not understood.
