Language skills are considered difficult to master. Difficulties in speaking arise due to a lack of vocabulary comprehension, which leads to poor verbal expression of ideas and grammatical skills. Various learning media, such as YouTube, can be used to practice speaking skills. There are multiple channels available that help in learning German speaking skills. To examine the material based on the 2013 curriculum of these channels, the words in this research question are derived from German curriculum materials. The purpose of this study is to assess the compatibility of YouTube channel video content. The data source for this research is the video content from the Kanal Zenith Institute channel. The data recording method used in this research is technology-based, followed by a technological level analysis. Furthermore, an analysis of the 2013 twelfth-grade curriculum was conducted to evaluate the compatibility of the video material with the theme Ferien und Urlaub. The results of the analysis indicate that the German lesson plan (RPP) with the theme Ferien und Urlaub, using YouTube channel videos, can assist students in improving their German-speaking skills.

The population in this study was class V students at Wadungasri Elementary School, Waru District, Sidoarjo Regency, totaling 77 students and a sample of 29 students was taken. Data collection techniques using questionnaires. Data processing techniques with validity testing using expert judgment techniques. Reliability test uses Alpha Cronbach. The swimmer analysis test is the normality test and linearity test. The data analysis technique used is a simple regression test. Research results: the guided inquiry learning model had an effect on students' critical thinking skills by 3.7%. The research results show that the problem based learning model with a differentiation approach to the topic Harmony in ecosystems is significantly effective in increasing students' understanding of ecosystems.

This study aims to analyze the impact of mind mapping on reading comprehension skills among elementary school students (SD/MI). In this journal, the approach used is a literature review by analyzing various relevant sources related to the influence of mind mapping on reading comprehension skills in SD/MI. This method aims to collect, evaluate, and summarize existing information in the literature, including journal articles, books, and credible online sources. The results of the analysis indicate that students who utilize mind mapping experience a significant improvement in their reading comprehension abilities. These findings suggest that mind mapping can be an effective strategy for enhancing students' reading comprehension by helping them organize information visually and facilitating a more interactive learning process. This study recommends that teachers consider incorporating mind mapping into their teaching practices to improve the quality of reading comprehension among students in SD/MI.

The elderly are an age group that experiences the aging process with various physical, mental and social changes that affect their quality of life. As the number of elderly people increases in various countries, it is important to have a clear understanding of the scope of the needs and conditions of the elderly from a social, health and economic perspective. The aim of this research is to determine the scope of the needs and conditions of the elderly. This research method uses a qualitative approach and involves literature study, data collection techniques using interview methods and literature research. This research discusses the health needs and conditions of the elderly, with a focus on medical aspects of care, including ongoing care and management of chronic conditions (such as diabetes, cholesterol and high blood pressure). Elderly people also experience several challenges, such as accessing health care facilities which is often difficult due to distance, physical limitations, or dependence on family for care.

This research was carried out in class V of Islamiyah Private Elementary School with the aim of finding out the influence of the Small Group Learning Model on the Learning Creativity of Class V of Islamiyah Elementary School Students for the 2022-2023 Academic Year. The samples taken in this research were Class V of the Islamiyah Private Elementary School, Class V A as the Control Class and Class V B as the Experimental Class. Test results regarding the influence of the Small Group Learning Model (X) and Student Learning Creativity (Y) in class V of Islamiyah Private Elementary School for the 2022/2023 Academic Year. The influence of using the Small Group Learning Model has been proven from the results of research conducted on Class V students of Islamiyah Elementary School. The 2022/2023 academic year provides positive results. The results showed that the Small Group Learning Model was in the good category, and this result was also followed by student learning creativity being included in the good category with an average score for the experimental class of 82.2. It is known that by calculating the variable X, the average value is 82.2 and the standard deviation is 9.06. And variable Y obtained an average value of 51.67 and a standard deviation of 7.81. From the calculation of the hypothesis price th = 0.06, the significance of the hypothesis coefficient is consulted with the calculated t value table. The t table value with N = 60 at the 5% significance level = 0.245. This turns out to be 0.245 >. 0.06 This proves that the hypothesis is accepted. From the results of hypothesis testing using the product moment correlation formula, it is found that tcount > ttable so that Ha is accepted, Ho is rejected. So there is an influence on student learning creativity using the Small Group Learning Model.

The aim of this research is to see how the application of the discovery learning model in the Islamic Cultural History (SKI) subject has an impact on student learning outcomes in class VII MTsN 2 Aceh Besar.
