Tropical diseases remain a serious public health challenge in Southeast Asia, particularly malaria, which has high morbidity and mortality rates. The complexity of their spread is influenced by various factors, including climate, environment, and population, requiring a spatially-based analytical approach to understand their distribution patterns. This study aims to develop a regression-based spatial model to predict the spread of tropical diseases and identify hotspots in high-risk areas. The data used include tropical disease case reports from national health agencies, climate data (temperature, rainfall, humidity) from BMKG and WorldClim, and population data (density and mobility) from  BPS and other official sources. The analysis was conducted using a Geographic Information System GIS for spatial mapping, as well as the application of spatial regression models, namely the Spatial Lag Model SLM and Spatial Error Model SEM. The results show that the developed model is able to predict disease distribution with a high level of accuracy, demonstrated by statistical validation through AIC, and Morans I. One of the main findings is the identification of malaria hotspots with a confidence level of 93, as well as the mapping of tropical disease risk predictions covering the Southeast Asian region. These results have significant implications for public health policy, particularly in resource allocation, prevention program planning, and priority area-based interventions. Furthermore, this study recommends the integration of big data and machine learning technologies to enrich predictive models and develop more adaptive early warning systems. Thus, this research contributes to strengthening tropical disease control strategies in Southeast Asia with a comprehensive spatial data-driven approach.

This study investigates the relationship between mathematics self-efficacy and problem-solving ability, exploring the role of the Jigsaw cooperative learning model in enhancing both factors. Self-efficacy, defined as students' belief in their ability to successfully perform mathematical tasks, has been shown to significantly impact students' problem-solving capabilities. The research focuses on understanding how this belief influences academic performance and how the Jigsaw model, which fosters collaborative learning, affects students’ self-efficacy and problem-solving skills. A survey-based research design was employed, with participants consisting of university students enrolled in mathematics courses. Data collection involved administering a self-efficacy scale to assess students' confidence in solving mathematical problems and a problem-solving test to evaluate their abilities. Path analysis was used to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and problem-solving skills, and the effect of the Jigsaw model was evaluated by comparing pre- and post-test scores between the experimental and control groups. The results revealed a strong positive relationship between self-efficacy and problem-solving ability (β = 0.45). Additionally, the Jigsaw model significantly enhanced this relationship, improving both students' self-efficacy and problem-solving performance. These findings highlight the importance of fostering self-efficacy in mathematics education and the effectiveness of the Jigsaw cooperative learning model in achieving this goal. The study provides valuable insights into improving teaching strategies in mathematics, particularly for subjects requiring critical thinking and problem-solving skills, by promoting a more interactive and supportive learning environment.

The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model in improving students' understanding of Fiqh material at MTs Nurul Hidayah. This research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the CTL model has been quite effective. This can be seen from the active involvement of students in the learning process through activities such as observing, discussing, working in groups, and connecting the material with real-life experiences. Learning through the CTL approach makes the process more meaningful and contextual, enabling students to gain a deeper and longer-lasting understanding of the Fiqh material.  

The flipped classroom model has gained significant attention as an innovative pedagogical approach, particularly in enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes. This study investigates the effectiveness of a video-based flipped classroom in improving students' academic performance and active participation during in-person classes. The research employed a quasi-experimental design, with two groups: one experiencing the flipped classroom approach, and the other following traditional lecture-based instruction. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests to assess learning outcomes, as well as an observation rubric to measure student participation. Results indicated that the flipped classroom group showed a 17% improvement in learning outcomes compared to the traditional group. Furthermore, the flipped classroom group exhibited twice the level of active participation, as measured by the rubric. These findings suggest that the flipped classroom model is effective in fostering a more interactive and participatory learning environment, where students engage with content before class and apply their knowledge through discussions and problem-solving activities during in-class sessions. The study also highlights the importance of video-based learning in preparing students for active participation and the role of the teacher as a facilitator in flipped classrooms. Despite the promising results, the study acknowledges several limitations, including reliance on technology and students' readiness for independent learning. The study concludes with recommendations for teacher training and future research to further explore the effectiveness of flipped classrooms across diverse educational contexts.
