This research is motivated by the low enthusiasm, participation, and creativity of students in social studies learning which is considered boring and difficult, resulting in low learning outcomes. One effort to overcome this problem is to apply the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model based on the Mirigambar Temple photography project through Blogger media. This study aims to determine the effect of PjBL on learning outcomes, creativity, and both simultaneously. The study used a quantitative approach with a quasi experimental nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of 20 control class students and 20 experimental class students selected using the purposive sampling technique. The instruments used were creativity questionnaires and learning outcome tests. Data analysis used the Independent Sample T-Test and MANOVA. The results showed that PjBL learning had a significant effect on learning outcomes, creativity, and learning outcomes and creativity of students together. These findings indicate that the application of PjBL through a Blogger-based photography project can create active, enjoyable learning, and is able to optimally increase student potential, so it is worthy of being an alternative strategy for learning social studies in schools.

This study aims to examine the potential and challenges of utilizing Solar Power Plants (PLTS) in Medan City, which is geographically located near the equator and receives high exposure to sunlight throughout the year. The method used is a literature review with a narrative review approach that analyzes secondary data from various journals and relevant scientific articles. The results of the study show that Medan City has an average annual horizontal global solar radiation intensity of 463.61 W/m², with the potential for electrical power that can be generated from rooftop solar panels reaching 748.57 MW (monocrystalline), 598.85 MW (polycrystalline), and 299.43 MW (thin film). This potential is comparable to the capacity of large-scale power plants. The use of PLTS contributes to reducing carbon emissions, increasing energy security, creating jobs, and developing the local economy. However, challenges such as high installation costs, limited suitability of roof structures, and low public awareness are still major obstacles in the implementation of this technology. Therefore, synergy is needed between government policies, public education, and technological innovation to optimize the use of solar energy in urban areas such as Medan.

This study aims to improve students' learning outcomes in Social Sciences (IPS) through the implementation of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning model. The background of this study is based on the low learning outcomes of IPS in class VII of SMP Negeri 3 Jakarta, as well as the lack of variations in innovative learning models. The study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method of the Kemmis and McTaggart model which was carried out in two cycles. Each cycle includes the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study were 36 class VII-B students. Data collection techniques used learning outcome tests, observations, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study showed a significant increase in student learning outcomes. In the first cycle, the percentage of students who achieved the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) was 77.77%, increasing to 91.6% in the second cycle. In addition, student activity in learning activities also increased. These results prove that the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning model is able to integrate social studies concepts with real situations, thus facilitating students' understanding and improving the quality of learning.

Melemang tradition is a form of local wisdom of the people of Karang Raja Village, Muara Enim, which is held every 10th of Muharram. This tradition not only has cultural values, but also has social and religious values such as gotong royong, caring, and sharing. However, in the midst of modernisation and the declining interest of the younger generation in traditional culture, the question arises of how best to keep the Melemang tradition from disappearing. The purpose of this research is to study ways to preserve the Melemang culture and develop methods that can be used to introduce the culture to the general public. This research uses a descriptive-analytical approach and a qualitative approach through, interviews, and literature research. The results showed that the involvement of the younger generation is necessary to preserve the Melemang tradition. It is hoped that this effort will strengthen cultural identity and introduce the melemang tradition to the general public.

The purpose of this study was to determine how technology functions in social studies learning and how technology affects students' awareness of world issues. This study was conducted through a qualitative approach with a case study as its design. The results showed that the use of technology, such as e-learning platforms, social media, and learning applications, significantly increased student engagement in social studies learning. Technology also gives students access to more information about global issues, such as international conflicts, climate change, and social injustice. Thus, students are trained to have analytical thinking skills and are able to understand the relationship between international events and everyday life. By increasing awareness of global issues, it is hoped that students can foster a sense of empathy, social responsibility, and play an active role in solving global challenges. This study found that the use of technology in social studies learning not only improves students' academic understanding but also makes them more involved in global issues as well as more sensitive and understanding in responding to global challenges.

This study aims to describe the learning conditions of Indonesian History applied at Madrasah Aliyah Bustanul Muta'allimim Blitar which uses the Problem Based Learning learning model. Problem Based Learning model learning directs the ability of students to play an active role in solving a problem in the process of learning activities, but in reality in learning in class 10 of Madrasah Aliyah Bustanul Muta'allimin there are still some students who still have difficulty in solving problems and there are also some students who are less active when the learning process takes place. The formulation of the problems in this study are: 1) How is the implementation of the Problem Based Learning learning model in grade 10 Indonesian History subjects? 2) How can the implementation of Problem Based Learning improve the quality of 10th grade Indonesian History learning? 3) What are the implications of the implementation of Problem Based Learning on student learning outcomes? The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, as for the data sources used, namely through primary data by digging directly to the research location located at MA Bustanul Muta'allimin Blitar, with data collection techniques using interviews, observation, and documentation and checking data validity through source triangulation. . The results of this study are 1) Implementation of Problem Based Learning model learning in Indonesian History subjects in class 10 A, 10 B and 10 C there are three stages that are applied in the learning process, namely the preparation stage, the core activity stage, and the final stage or evaluation. 2)  Analysis of Whether the Problem Based Learning Method can Improve the Quality of Indonesian History Learning in grade 10. There are differences in the responses of students from the three classes for class 10 A, the response of students is still difficult in solving problems in the learning process and difficulty in presenting material when in front of the class and less active in learning in class, this is different from class 10 B and 10 C, students are easier in solving a problem and can present material and be active in learning activities in class. So from this it can be said that learning in the classroom has improved, but there must be more improvements from the Problem Based Learning model when learning activities take place in class. 3) Classroom student learning outcomes For student learning outcomes are influenced by factors within students, namely about the motivation of these students in participating in learning. Students from the three classes can be said to be class 10 A which is rather low compared to the other classes, because there are only male students, this can happen because in the application of Problem Based Learning model learning, these students do not pay attention to the teacher's direction, and are less serious in learning activities, so they do not understand the material being discussed together, in contrast to classes 10 B and 10 C which tend to be more easily organized by the teacher and pay attention when learning activities take place and are active in the process of ongoing learning activities.
 

This research is motivated by the importance of understanding the dynamics of social interaction of prisoners in the Class II B Detention Center of Serang City, Banten Province. The focus of the research is the pattern of relationships between prisoners as well as interactions between prisoners and detention officers that affect social life in the environment. The purpose of this study is to identify the associative and dissociative processes that occur among prisoners and explore the factors that influence the pattern of social interaction in detention centers. The research methodology used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. This approach allows in-depth exploration of complex social dynamics in closed environments such as prisons. The results show that social interactions between prisoners include associative processes, such as cooperation in daily activities, and dissociative processes, such as competition and conflict triggered by limited resources and social hierarchy. In addition, interactions between prisoners and officers often vary, ranging from formal relationships in coaching activities to informal relationships that are emotional in nature. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the pattern of social interaction in detention centers is strongly influenced by the social background of prisoners, family support, and the existing hierarchical structure. This research provides recommendations for the management of detention centers that are more inclusive and support the rehabilitation process of prisoners.
