Active learning strategies are considered one of the most effective approaches in creating meaningful, participatory learning processes that enhance students’ intrinsic motivation. In the context of Fiqh learning, the implementation of active learning strategies plays a crucial role because Fiqh not only requires cognitive understanding but also involves strengthening attitudes and internalizing religious values. Traditional teacher-centered learning methods often lead to passive participation, boredom, and a lack of motivation among students. Therefore, the use of active learning strategies—such as group discussions, simulations, problem-solving activities, and experiential learning—can encourage students to participate more actively, think critically, and develop a stronger motivation to achieve better learning outcomes.This study aims to describe how active learning strategies can improve students’ motivation in Fiqh subjects. The analysis shows that engaging students directly in learning activities increases their attention, interest, and sense of responsibility in understanding the material. Additionally, two-way interactions between teachers and students create a more dynamic and enjoyable learning atmosphere. Thus, active learning strategies serve as a relevant and effective approach to enhancing learning motivation and improving the overall quality of Fiqh education.

Mitigation strategies were addressed through collaboration with government agencies, universities, and parents/guardians, as well as through simplifying lesson plans to enhance teacher creativity

This study aims to examine the influence of bounding (lompat kijang) and split squat jump training on sprint performance among Physical Education students at a university in Medan. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, involving ten participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that bounding exercises significantly improve stride length, movement coordination, and sprint acceleration. Meanwhile, the split squat jump contributes more to initial push-off strength, body stability, and lower-limb muscular endurance. Most participants reported that combining both exercises produces the most optimal sprint improvement, as it simultaneously trains horizontal and vertical power. Additionally, the combined training enhances running efficiency and increases participants’ confidence during short-distance sprinting. The study concludes that both plyometric exercises are effective and recommended for speed-training programs, particularly for students and beginner athletes seeking comprehensive sprint performance enhancement.

This research is motivated by the low pragmatic competence of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) students, which is shown by the high rate of pragmatic failure (65%) and learning participation (40%), as well as the lack of contextual teaching materials. The purpose of the research is to identify learning barriers, then design, and test the initial impact of pragmatic teaching material innovation based on local wisdom through language play methods. With the Design-Based Research (DBR) approach involving teachers and students of MI in Central Java, data was collected through interviews, observations, and document studies, and then analyzed thematically. The results of the study revealed three main obstacles: (1) non-contextual teaching materials, (2) limited methodological skills of teachers, and (3) low student motivation. As a solution, "PRAGAMALOKA" teaching materials were developed that transform the values of local wisdom (tepo seliro, gotong royong) and traditional games (dakon) into the core of pragmatic learning scenarios. The limited trial showed a significant increase in student engagement and positive response. This study concludes that substantive integration between local content, pragmatic goals, and play methods is the key to creating authentic and meaningful learning. Implicitly, this development model can be adopted to design other contextual teaching materials, with recommendations for further experimental tests to measure their comparative effectiveness.
