This research was motivated by Ministerial Regulation Number 23 of 2017 concerning five school days a week which has been implemented since the 2017/2018 academic year. This regulation aims to improve the quality of education through additional days of effective learning. The focus of this research is the implementation of the five school day rule at SMAN 4 Kediri City and its impact on student learning motivation. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection methods through interviews, observation and documentation. The research results show that the five-day school rule is implemented from Monday to Friday, from 07.00 to 15.00 WIB. Saturdays are used for rest or extracurricular activities. Most students are happy because they have more time to rest and develop their non-academic potential at the weekend. However, some students feel tired with busy schedules, especially during the day, which reduces their enthusiasm and motivation for learning. Overall, the implementation of the five school day rule at SMAN 4 Kediri City has both positive and negative impacts on student learning motivation.    

This research aims to understand and analyze the mathematics learning difficulties faced by class VII students at SMPN 35 Medan. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, this research explores the factors that cause learning difficulties and provides solutions that can be implemented. The research method involves written tests and interviews with students and teachers. The results of the research reveal that students face challenges in understanding basic concepts such as algebra, linear equations, equivalent and non-equivalent comparisons, as well as plane figures and spatial figures. Internal and external factors, such as students’ cognitive abilities and less effective teaching methods, influence their mathematics performance. This research suggests a more interactive learning approach, training for teachers, collaboration between schools and parents, and regular evaluation to improve students’ mathematical understanding and performance in the future. Thus, this research makes a significant contribution to efforts to improve the quality of mathematics learning in schools.

The problem with this study is that many schoolchildren still complain about having trouble writing essays, texts, or stories. The issue with writing skills is that for students to write well, they also need a lot of extensive knowledge. The objective is to determine the effect of the problem-based learning model on the ability of class X students at SMA Negeri 1 Kutalimbaru to write negotiation text material for the 2023–2024 academic year. This will be done by measuring students' ability to write negotiation text material using class problem-based learning. This exploration technique is trial research. A scoring system for evaluating a person's capacity to write negotiation texts serves as the data collection method. The examination area is at SMA Negeri 1 Kutalimbaru. The information examination methods in this exploration are homogeneity test, ordinariness test and t test. Based on the calculations, this study came to the conclusion that, at the 95% significance level, or  = 0.05, tcount is 38.39 and ttable is 1.66. The research alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted because tcount is greater than ttable (38.39 is greater than 1.66). Therefore, the ability of class X students at SMA Negeri 1 Kutalimbaru to write negotiation texts is influenced by the problem-based learning model.

Dede Sobayar. 182100092. 2021. Application of Arabic Language Lessons in the Habit of Reading the Qur'an As Muslims, we are required to always read and study the Qur'an in accordance with the decision issued by the Minister of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia, which requires every Muslim to continue to improve their abilities and interest in reading the Koran. To achieve this goal, many Al-Qur'an study institutions have created various methods, one of which is by linking Arabic language lessons to the habit of reading the Al-Qur'an. Learning Arabic is one application in getting used to reading the Koran. By getting into the habit of reading the Qur'an through Arabic lessons, interest in reading and the ability to improve reading of the Qur'an, such as tajwid, makharijul letters, and others, will increase. The aim of this research is to get an overview of the application of Arabic language lessons in the habit of reading the Al-Qur'an. The research method used is descriptive, which can explain the topic to be studied. The results of this study show that Arabic plays an important role in reading the Koran. The background to this research is that there are still many children who lack focus and lack enthusiasm in implementing the Al-Qur'an reading habit program, and do not pay enough attention to and implement habituation programs both at school and at home. Therefore, the application of Arabic language lessons in the habit of reading the Al-Qur'an is able to increase students' reading interest, skills and fluency in reading the Al-Qur'an, both at school, home and in everyday life.

This study employed knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) to extract and discover knowledge from the Benue State Polytechnic (Benpoly) admission database and used a structural causal model (SCM) ontological framework to represent the admission process in the Nigerian polytechnic education system. The SCM ontology identified important causal relations in features needed to model the admission process and was validated using the conditional independence test (CIT) criteria. The SCM ontology was further employed to identify and constrain input features causing bias in the local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) framework applied to machine learning (ML) black-box predictions. The ablation process produced more stable LIME explanations devoid of fairness bias compared to LIME without ablation, with higher prediction accuracy (91% vs. 89%) and F1 scores (95% vs. 94%). The study also compared the performance of different ML models, including Gaussian Naïve Bayes, Decision Trees, and Logistic Regression, before and after ablation. The limitation is that the SCM ontology is qualitative and context-specific, so the fair-LIME framework can only be extrapolated to similar contexts. Future work could compare other explanation frameworks like Shapley on the same dataset. Overall, this study demonstrates a novel approach to enforcing fairness in ML explanations by integrating qualitative SCM ontologies with quantitative ML/LIME methods.

The use of learning methods used today is still an obstacle, causing various impacts. Often found is that the material presented uses a simple method in the form of lectures plus teaching materials in the form of printed books or LKS only. Research method with qualitative field.

The ability of a nation to progress depends on its level of education. The quality of human resources produced is influenced by how good the quality of education is. Therefore, teachers play an important role in ensuring the success of education. Teachers' skills in teaching are key in creating meaningful learning for students. This research is intended to understand the teacher's skills in organizing learning variations, especially in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects at SDIT 1 Daarussalaam Sangatta. The research method used is a qualitative approach of field research type through data collection from observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study highlighted the importance of variations in teaching styles, the use of media and learning tools, as well as communication patterns of interaction with students in order to create a comfortable and conducive learning atmosphere. The findings show that variation in learning plays a key role in motivating learners and teachers have an important role in ensuring such variation through three main components, especially in PAI learning at SDIT 1 Daarussalaam, namely variation in teaching styles that can be used by developing existing learning methods to be more varied and involve more activities for learners, the use of IT-based learning media and tools, and communication patterns of interaction with learners that can be done with many-way communication. Learning variations not only make teaching and learning activities more interesting but also facilitate better understanding for learners in order to achieve the desired learning objectives
