This study aims to analyze the influence of the use of Instagram social media, business location, and destination image on the interest in visiting Karo Strawberry Garden again. Along with the development of experiential tourism, the use of social media is one of the important factors in attracting visitors, especially for natural tourist destinations such as strawberry farms. This study uses quantitative methods with multiple linear regression approaches to measure how much influence each independent variable has on return visit interest. The results showed that all three variables - Instagram usage, business location, and destination image - had a significant effect on return visit interest. Of the three variables, destination image has the most dominant influence in shaping visitors' interest in returning, followed by business location, and finally, the use of Instagram social media. This indicates that while promotion through social media plays an important role in attracting initial visits, adequate in-person experience at the destination determines interest in repeat visits more. Thus, the management of Karo Strawberry Farm is advised to focus more on improving the destination image through the quality of facilities, services, and overall experience, as well as supporting social media promotion and location accessibility as supporting factors.

Education aims to help students become more independent and critical in the process of discovering their own identity. Participatory education is a relevant approach that allows students to actively participate in the thinking process. The philosophy of educational progressivism pioneered by John Dewey reflects much of this approach. According to progressivism, education should be student-centered by emphasizing hands-on experience to teach and build critical thinking skills. Relevant works on progressivism and Dewey's concept of education are investigated in this qualitative research. The results show that the idea of progressivism is strongly related to Indonesia's national education goal, which is to create innovative, independent, and flexible students. A student-centered curriculum and a supportive education system are needed to implement this theory.

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.
