This study aims to analyze the use of technology, especially QR Code, in mathematics learning in elementary schools. Using a literature review method, data was collected from various relevant national and international journals. The results of the study indicate that the integration of QR Code in mathematics learning has proven effective in improving student learning outcomes, interest, and engagement. QR Code is used in various forms of media, such as Student Worksheets (LKS), comics, flash cards, posters, and interactive videos, which support contextual, visual, and independent learning. The application of QR Code also helps students understand abstract concepts, improves numeracy and spatial skills, and supports the development of 21st century skills. This study concludes that the use of QR Code is an innovative strategy and is feasible to be applied in mathematics learning at the elementary school level.
 
 

Speaking is an essential skill for learners of any foreign language, and English is no exception. However, many English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners experience significant challenges when it comes to speaking skills. This study aims to explore the views of students regarding the difficulties they face in speaking English and to identify potential solutions to these challenges. A case study method was employed, involving twenty-seven university students from Indonesia. The data were collected using questionnaires, which allowed the researchers to gather insights into students' perceptions and experiences with speaking English. The results revealed that the majority of participants, 71.6%, reported facing common difficulties such as the fear of making mistakes, fear of criticism, and general shyness. These emotional barriers significantly hindered their ability to speak confidently in class. Additionally, only 18.5% of the students actively participated in speaking activities during lessons, indicating a lack of engagement in oral communication. A significant number of students (96.3%) felt that they lacked sufficient knowledge of the subject matter, further impeding their ability to speak effectively. Moreover, 81.5% of the students admitted that they preferred to use their mother tongue, which they often spoke during English classes, as it was easier for them. These findings suggest that both emotional and knowledge-related issues play a crucial role in shaping the speaking abilities of EFL learners. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions that address both the emotional barriers and knowledge gaps in order to improve the speaking skills of EFL students.

In the context of modern organizations that increasingly demand high productivity, employees’ emotional well-being is often overlooked in organizational design. This study aims to explore how a humanistic approach can be integrated into organizational design to create a work environment that is not only efficient but also supportive of emotional well-being. Using a literature review method complemented by interviews and observations of workplace dynamics, this study finds that organizations still tend to adopt bureaucratic and technocratic approaches that neglect employees’ psychological dimensions. As a result, issues such as burnout, decreased motivation, and low work engagement emerge. The findings highlight the need for a paradigm shift in organizational design—from a purely structural system toward a humanistic design that considers emotional needs. This study emphasizes that emotional well-being must be positioned as a strategic element in organizational design, not merely as a supplementary effort. Thus, work effectiveness and emotional well-being can be sustainably aligned.

This study aims to improve the learning motivation of fourth-grade students of SDN 3 Jambu in Javanese language subjects, especially in Javanese script material, through the implementation of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) learning model combined with the use of flash cards. The background of this study is the low learning motivation of students as seen from the lack of active participation, low enthusiasm during learning, and lack of interest in the Javanese script material. These conditions have an impact on the achievement of unsatisfactory learning outcomes and an unpleasant learning atmosphere. This type of research is Classroom Action Research (CAR) which is conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of four stages, namely planning, implementation of actions, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study were 20 fourth-grade students. Data collection techniques were carried out using observations of student activities, interviews with teachers and students, documentation of learning activities, and evaluation tests to measure learning outcomes at the end of each cycle. Data analysis was carried out descriptively qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of the study showed a significant increase in student learning motivation after the implementation of the TGT learning model assisted by flash cards. This can be seen from the increasing activeness of students in groups, their enthusiasm in participating in educational games, and the results of learning evaluations that show a positive trend from cycle I to cycle II. The TGT model, which is based on cooperation and healthy competition, creates a more lively and enjoyable learning atmosphere and stimulates active student involvement. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of the Teams Games Tournament learning model supported by flashcard media is effective in increasing student motivation and learning outcomes in the Javanese Language subject, Javanese Script material.

This study aims to analyze the supervision materials implemented at State Elementary School 080658. The primary focus is on the effectiveness of the supervision content in improving teaching quality and teacher professionalism. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results show that the supervision materials cover lesson planning, instructional delivery, student assessment, and teacher professional development. Supervision conducted systematically and continuously was found to enhance teachers' pedagogical competence and performance. However, several challenges were identified, such as limited time, lack of training for supervisors, and some teachers’ resistance to supervision. This study recommends improving supervisor capacity through training, developing more contextual supervision materials, and applying a more collaborative supervisory approach to enhance the effectiveness of supervision at State Elementary School 080658.

Cannabis has been around since way before the Common Era. Since then, it's been used for all sorts of stuff, like making oil, fiber, and medicine. Cannabis has been on the list of illegal drugs since 1925, when it was put there at an international convention in Geneva. Cannabis is a hot topic right now because of the political and economic interests around legalizing it around the world. Numerous studies have demonstrated that cannabis is not a substance devoid of any benefits, particularly in the field of healthcare. In line with this, many pharmaceutical industries are now beginning to view cannabis as a commodity with significant market value. As a result, many countries, such as the United States, have deregulated their cannabis laws for economic purposes.

Psychological assessment is an important tool in guidance and counseling practice that aims to gain an in-depth understanding of an individual's psychological state. However, its implementation can pose ethical challenges, particularly in relation to confidentiality and objectivity. This article critically examines how professionals in guidance and counseling can maintain their integrity when applying the ethical principles of their profession. It draws on theories on professional ethics and also explores the advantages and limitations of psychological assessment and its implications for counseling services. The analysis shows that maintaining professionalism depends on a high level of ethical awareness, as well as supervision and self-reflection of counselors.

This study aims to qualitatively analyze the coupon-setting strategy employed by the Directorate General of Budget Financing and Risk Management (DJPPR) in response to fluctuations in Bank Indonesia's benchmark interest rate, specifically the BI 7-Day Reverse Repo Rate (BI7DRR), during the 2021–2024 period. Using a descriptive-analytical approach based on a literature review, the research examines official policy documents, historical BI7DRR data, and relevant academic studies. The findings indicate that DJPPR implemented a floating with floor coupon mechanism as an adaptive strategy to address interest rate volatility. This mechanism has proven effective in maintaining the appeal of Savings Bond Ritel (SBR) among retail investors, while also reflecting the synergy between fiscal and monetary policy in managing national debt instruments

The aim of this research is to evaluate the influence of macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, inflation and exchange rates on the movement of Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BBRI) share prices in the period 2020 to 2024. The analysis used is a quantitative method taking a multiple linear regression approach. The data used is secondary, obtained from other sources, namely the Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI) and Bank Indonesia (BI). The analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression using EViews 12 software. The findings from the analysis show that the three independent variables do not have a significant impact on BBRI share price fluctuations, both in simultaneous and partial analysis. From the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that there is a relationship where interest rates and exchange rates have a significant positive influence on stock prices, while inflation shows a negative impact on share prices.
