Curriculum management is a systematic, cooperative, comprehensive and organized effort in achieving educational goals. As an important element in the management of educational institutions, curriculum management involves curriculum planning, development, implementation and evaluation. This process aims to improve the quality of teaching-learning interactions and support the achievement of the vision and mission of educational institutions while adhering to national policies. The relationship between curriculum and learning is very close, where the curriculum becomes a guideline that covers the entire learning experience of students, while learning is the implementation of the curriculum. In the context of the Education Unit Level Curriculum (KTSP), curriculum development is carried out with the principles of competency-centeredness, relevance to the needs of learners, responsiveness to scientific developments, and a balance between national interests and local needs. These principles are directed to ensure the meaningfulness of the content, productivity, democracy, efficiency, and harmony with moral, religious, and social values.

Noise in educational environments can affect the effectiveness of teaching and learning processes. This study aims to analyze the impact of traffic noise on teaching and learning activities in Building V of Semarang University, located along the Soekarno-Hatta arterial road. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach by measuring noise levels using a Sound Level Meter on six floors of the building. Measurements were taken during active lecture hours with time intervals of 3 x 30 minutes. The results showed that noise levels on floors 1 to 3 were above the educational environment quality standard of 55 dB according to KepMenLH No. 48 of 1996. Meanwhile, on the 6th floor, the noise level averaged around 55 dB. Excessive noise makes it difficult for students to hear lecturers' explanations, reduces their ability to capture information, and decreases learning material retention. To address these issues, sound insulation installation, spatial planning improvements by designing room layouts farther from noise sources, vegetation planting, and lecture rescheduling to avoid peak traffic times are necessary.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the demonstration teaching method in improving the learning outcomes of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) for eighth-grade students at SMP Budi Utomo, Srono. The demonstration teaching method was chosen because it provides students with direct experience, allowing them to understand the material more clearly and practically. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, and were then analyzed by systematically describing the findings based on facts and phenomena observed in the field. The results of the study show that the implementation of the demonstration teaching method was carried out through three main stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. During the planning stage, the teacher prepares relevant materials and teaching aids for the topic being taught. The implementation stage involves using visual media and teaching aids to clarify the explanation of the material, while engaging students in the demonstration activities directly. In the evaluation stage, the teacher provides feedback to assess the students' understanding of the material taught. The application of the demonstration method has a positive impact on the students' learning outcomes. The study shows that students experienced an increase in their understanding of IRE material, greater enthusiasm for learning, and improved responsiveness to issues in their surrounding environment. Additionally, group learning activities during the teaching process strengthened communication skills among students. Therefore, this method proves to be effective in enhancing the quality of classroom learning.
