The era of globalization is an era of quality competition, where only thosebwith high competence will be able to compete in the free market. Therefore, developing high-quality human resources is something that cannot be compromised. Education that supports development in this era is education that can foster students’ potential’ enabling them toface and overcome life’s challenges. Thus, in the learning process, teachers should not only serve as models or sources of knowledge but also act as learning managers. As learning managers, teachers play an important role in creating a learning environment that allows students to learn confortably and effectively. Based on observations at SMA Negeri 2 Taniwel, it was found that students in class X-2 have low learning outcomes in sociology. The writer’s observation in class indicated that sociology learning was dominated by lecture methods, resulting in students being less active during the learning process. According to research conducted by Al Muchtar (1991), learning in social studies education does not sufficiently simulate students to be actively involved in the learning process. Furthermore, the teaching and learning process of social studies carried out bye teachers has not been able to faster a learning culture among students, wich in turn significantly affects their learning achievement and outcomes. To support active learning strategies, teachers can apply various relevant learning models. Therefore, the learning process will become more varied, innovative, and constructive, creating interaction between teachers and students, among students themselves, and between students and other learning resources.

PAK teachers have the responsibility to educate and improve students' learning achievements. Efforts to improve student learning achievement are not an easy task for a teacher because often students cannot achieve learning achievements as expected by teachers and schools. The decline in student learning achievement is caused by students not understanding the teacher's explanations, monotonous and less creative learning methods, low learning motivation, spending more time playing games, and lack of attention from parents/family. This research aims to determine the role of Christian Religious Education teachers in improving the learning achievement of students at Bhakti Insani Vocational School, Bogor City. The research methodology used is descriptive qualitative with a literature study, observation and interview approach. To achieve learning achievement, students need to receive direction, guidance, motivation, creative learning methods, and attention from Christian Religious Education teachers. That is why, good collaboration between teachers, schools, and parents/families helps students improve their learning achievements.

This study aims to determine the differences in student learning achievement between the control class and the experimental class, and to determine the effect of the Integrated Cooperative Script Al-Quran Learning Method on the Concept of the Reproductive System on the Learning Outcomes of Class XI Students of SMAS Al-Washliyah 3 Medan. The method used is an experiment whose implementation uses a quasi-experiment type with a nonequivalent control group design. The study population consisted of 48 students, namely class XI IPA-1 totaling 26 students and class XI IPA-2 totaling 22 students. Less than ideal results were observed for learning outcomes in the control class when the Cooperative Script Learning Method was not integrated with the Qur'an. An average of 78.6 describes the learning objectives. The Cooperative Script Learning Method Integrated with the Qur'an resulted in an increase in learning outcomes in the experimental class. The average (85.7), mode (87) and median (87), maximum value (97), and lowest value (75) all indicate learning outcomes. At a 5% error rate, the calculation of the independent sample t-test revealed that t table < t count (3.07 > 2.01). The experimental class had a higher percentage increase from pretest to posttest (85.15%) compared to the control class (77.98%). Therefore, the implementation of the Cooperative Script learning approach effectively contributed 55% of the total. Thus, it can be said that the learning outcomes of the experimental class that utilized the Integrated Cooperative Script Al-Quran Learning Method and the learning outcomes of the control class that used the Non-Integrated Cooperative Script Al-Quran Learning Method were significantly different.

Learning achievement is every learning activity carried out by students which will result in a change in themselves. The learning outcomes obtained by students are measured based on differences in behavior before and after learning is carried out. The economic conditions of students' families at SMP Negeri 2 Binjai have a significant influence on student learning achievement. Many students who come from families with economically disadvantaged backgrounds face various challenges that hinder the learning process. Financial limitations often mean they do not have adequate access to educational resources, such as books, the internet, and additional tutoring which can help improve understanding of subject matter. This research uses the Apriori method as a problem solving method, namely to correlate between Family Socio-Economics, Activities Students Outside the School Environment and Level of Student Learning Motivation with Student Achievement in class. If data A, G, K → O with Support 30% and Confident 100% and S*C value 30%. So, if a student from a family with an income of less than Rp. 1,000,000 who take part in extracurricular activities outside of school, and have family-driven motivation, will have academic achievement with good report cards. This research indicates that family socio-economic conditions have a significant impact on student academic achievement. Through data analysis, it can be seen that factors such as family income, student activities outside the school environment and the level of student motivation to learn can influence the extent to which students can achieve higher academic achievement.
