Student motivation is an important factor that influences student engagement and academic achievement. Although many studies have examined learning motivation in classroom settings with non-interactive presentation media, limited research has explored how gamification affects motivation and learning outcomes in economics education. This study investigates the impact of using Blooket—a game-based learning platform—on students’ motivation and academic performance in economics classes during the 2024/2025 academic year. The study aims to: (i) evaluate the impact of Blooket on students’ learning motivation, (ii) assess the impact of Blooket on students’ learning outcomes. Data were collected through questionnaires and tests involving 40 high school students divided into experimental and control groups. The findings revealed that students taught using Blooket demonstrated significantly higher motivation and better learning outcomes compared to those taught using traditional methods. This study highlights the impact of the gamification medium 'Blooket' in fostering a more engaging and motivating learning environment, offering practical insights for educators seeking to enhance student participation and performance through digital tools.

This research aims to explore the use of Canva as an interactive learning medium at the elementary school level. Canva, an easy-to-use graphic design platform, offers great potential to create engaging, creative, and visual learning experiences for students. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method involving grade IV students in an elementary school as research subjects. Data collection techniques include observations, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of student work using Canva. The results of the study show that the use of Canva can increase student interactivity, creativity, and motivation to learn. Students actively participate in learning, mainly when creating posters, infographics, or presentations describing the concepts being taught. Material comprehension has also improved, especially on topics that require visual representation. While several obstacles are related to device access and student adaptation time, the benefits of using Canva in learning are significant. This study suggests that teachers should regularly integrate Canva into their learning to improve the student learning experience and provide training on how to use Canva to maximize its use. Further research is needed to examine the long-term impact and compare it with other interactive learning media
 

Hypertension can lead to a variety of consequences, including death. Alternative therapies, such as Dhikr and prayer therapy, have emerged as a response to the negative effects of medications used to treat hypertension. The therapy of Dhikr and prayer worked by inhibiting sympathetic nerve dominance and activating parasympathetic nerves, resulting in a soothing effect. The goal of this paper was to conduct a literature search to determine the effectiveness of Dhikr therapy and prayer in lowering blood pressure in hypertension patients. The method involved investigating evidence published in electronic data from Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar. Using Publish or Perish, we searched for data from 2018 to 2023 using the terms "Dhikr therapy," "prayer therapy," and "hypertension." Using the Prisma Strategy flow chart, 11 relevant journals were eligible out of 352. The results showed that when a person recites Dhikr by focusing on words or sentences of prayer that are repeated with a regular rhythm, accompanied by an attitude of surrender to God, the individual will experience relaxation. This relaxed state could control the nervous system, which is responsible for regulating blood pressure in hypertensive patients leading to a decrease in blood pressure. Dhikr and prayer therapy are effective in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Recommendations suggest that Dhikr and prayer therapy can be applied as an alternative treatment for hypertension.

A school principal can be defined as a teacher functional staff who are given the task of leading a school where the teaching and learning process is held and managing educational units. Administrator can be interpreted as the entire work process between two or more people who are tasked with taking care of matters related to administration. Meanwhile, school performance is essentially the productivity of the performance of all school residents and is an indicator of the quality of education, because the failure of school performance is part of the failure of the principal. This study aims to describe the role of the principal as an administrator in improving school performance which focuses on the principal's management functions. This research uses a qualitative approach. The method used is descriptive. The data collection technique is carried out in three ways, namely (1) interviews, (2) observations, and (3) documentation. The collected data is analyzed descriptively, through the flow of (1) data reduction, (2) data presentation, (3) conclusion drawn. The validity of the data is carried out by triangulation of respondents, methods and times. From the field findings, it was found as follows: (1) Educational management planning is carried out at the beginning of the school year through school work meeting activities attended by school steakholders, (2) The implementation of school activities is in accordance with the school program that has been prepared, (3) Evaluation/supervision is carried out periodically by the principal through a supervision program, (4) Follow-up is carried out based on the results of evaluation by carrying out improvements and standardization of activities schools that have been achieved. In the implementation of these four activities, the principal found several obstacles faced. However, solutions were also found to solve the problems or obstacles found, so that school activities ran smoothly.
