Analysis of the preliminary research phase as the basis for developing a biology practicum guide based on a scientific approach. The purpose of this study was to describe the initial research stage data obtained as a basis for developing teaching and learning materials based on research results that will be made in the future. The development model applied in this study is the Plomp model, which has reached the initial data investigation stage. Instruments for collecting data include interviews, observations, and questionnaires. The results of the student needs questionnaire revealed that students agreed that it was necessary to develop a practicum guide based on a scientific approach with a percentage of 94.73%. The teaching materials that have been used in learning are less effective so that students are less able to understand the subject matter. So it can be concluded that it is necessary to develop teaching materials for practicum guides based on a scientific approach on the material of the circulatory system and respiratory system in class XI SMAN 15 Pekanbaru.

This classroom action research aimed to increase students' interest in learning history by implementing the TPACK approach in Grade XI IBB at MAN 1 Kota Semarang. The study's objectives were to describe the process of applying the TPACK approach and to assess its effectiveness in enhancing students' interest in history during the 2022/2023 academic year. The research design was a collaborative Classroom Action Research (CAR), involving Grade XI IBB students. Data collection techniques included questionnaires, tests, documentation, and observations, conducted over two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The study's findings indicated that applying the TPACK approach significantly improved students' engagement and learning outcomes in history. In the first cycle, student participation was limited, and not all students achieved the learning completeness standard. However, in the second cycle, there was a notable improvement in both student engagement and learning outcomes, with all students meeting the learning completeness criteria. The success of the TPACK approach was evidenced by a 74% increase in student interest and an average class score of 88. Despite the improvement, active student involvement during the learning process remained an area for further enhancement.

The circulation of narcotics in Aceh's territorial waters is a serious problem that affects the security and welfare of the community. This research aims to analyze the role of the Directorate of Water and Air Police (DITPOLAIRUD) of the Aceh Regional Police in efforts to control narcotics through preventive and repressive measures. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, literature studies and document analysis. The research results show that Ditpolairud's preventive actions include routine patrols in water areas, strict monitoring of smuggling-prone routes, as well as quick response through a quick response system.
