Learning is an activity involving teachers and students. The success of teaching and learning process are influenced by student learning motivation. The existence of student learning motivation will give spirit and learning becomes more focused for students. Building intrinsic motivation in students will be better than extrinsic motivation. By students' intrinsic motivation to learn because of the sincerity of their hearts, the positive results of learning efforts that will shown. However, extrinsic motivation also determines the interest of students in learning. When students have a desire to learn but the extrinsic factors do not support, the student will lose his spirits. Both intrinsic and extrinsic factors can determine the success of students in the learning process. Motivation is an energy change within the person characterized by effective arausal and antisipatory goal reaction. Motivation will push, move and direct students to learn. Students who have a high learning motivation will do activities in acquiring knowledge. Motivation will arouse the interest of students to learn. Motivation has the function of which is to (1) encourage students to move in order to get maximum results, and (2) as referring to carry out activities in achieving the objectives specific objectives. Motivation has traits include: resilient in the face of adversity, diligently not easily bored and others. The existence of the learning motivation greatly affected the success of the learning process. Students can reach a good study achievements on him when there is motivation to learn. Therefore the motivation has a very important position in learning.

Piaget memperkenalkan sejumlah ide dan konsep untuk mendeskripsikan dan menjelaskan perubahan-perubahan dalam pemikiran logis yang diamatinya pada anak-anak dan orang dewasa. Perkembangan kognitif dimulai dari proses-proses berpikir secara konkrit sampai dengan yang lebih tinggi yaitu konsep-konsep abstrak dan logis. Piaget meyakini bahwa anak-anak secara alami memiliki ketertarikan terhadap dunia dan secara aktif mencari informasi yang dapat membantu mereka memahami dunia tersebut. Sebagai seorang pakar yang banyak melakukan penelitian tentang tingkat perkembangan kemampuan kognitif manusia, Piaget mengemukakan dalam teorinya bahwa kemampuan kognitif manusia terdiri atas empat tahapan dimulai dari lahir hingga dewasa. Tahap dan urutan berlaku untuk semua usia tetapi usia pada saat seseorang mulai memasuki tahap tertentu tidak sama untuk setiap orang

Learning will work well without using media appropriate to the material to be taught, because apart from being an intermediary media is also useful to overcome the limitations of space, time, and power the senses, such as an object that is too large can be replaced with reality, image, or movie frame , In use in the learning process, the teacher must know and master as well as capable of using media in teaching and learning. This capability is an imaginative activity that result is the formation of a combination of information obtained from previous experiences into new, meaningful and useful. So therefore, the creativity of teachers in the use of instructional media can be concluded, namely: (1) The creativity of teachers in the use of instructional media in learning a subject usually, only teachers use media such as books, whiteboard and markers. The success of the learning process depends on the competence of teachers in mastering the material or subject matter. Schools seek help improve the facilities and means associated with school education in one facility and related instructional media to increase student achievement and quality of education in schools.

Mathematics is one of the most important subjects for students to master in elementary school. However, there are many students who do not like mathematics learning which has an impact on their low learning outcomes in mathematics learning. The results of the preliminary study of this study indicate that students' mathematics learning outcomes are still very low. This is evidenced by the results of the documentation of student grade lists, there are still many students who do not reach the minimum completion criteria set by the school. This study aims to improve students' mathematics learning outcomes in elementary schools by applying the problem posing model. This study is a classroom action research with the Kemmis & Mc Taggart design. This study was conducted in three cycles with the stages of each cycle being planning, action, observation and reflection. The subjects of this study were fourth grade elementary school students. Data were collected using test and observation techniques. The data obtained were then analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques. The results of the study indicate that the problem posing model can improve students' mathematics learning outcomes in elementary schools. This is evidenced by looking at the results of the first cycle test which achieved a classical completion percentage of 52.63%. Then in the second cycle the classical completion percentage increased to 68.42%. The achievement in the third cycle increased again to 84.21%. The results have reached the target indicator of the success of this study. Thus, the problem posing model can be used as an alternative for use by teachers in mathematics learning in elementary schools.

Newly emerging variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are continuously posing high global public health concerns and panic resulting in waves of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Depending on the extent of genomic variations, mutations and adaptation, few of the variants gain the ability to spread quickly across many countries, acquire higher virulency and ability to cause severe disease, morbidity and mortality. These variants have been implicated in lessening the efficacy of the current COVID-19 vaccines and immunotherapies resulting in break-through viral infections in vaccinated individuals and recovered patients. Altogether, these could hinder the protective herd immunity to be achieved through the ongoing progressive COVID-19 vaccination. Currently, the only variant of interest of SARS-CoV-2 is Omicron that was first identified in South Africa. In this review, we present the overview on the emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants with a special focus on the Omicron variant, its lineages and hybrid variants. We discuss the hypotheses of the origin, genetic change and underlying molecular mechanism behind higher transmissibility and immune escape of Omicron variant. Major concerns related to Omicron including the efficacy of the current available immunotherapeutics and vaccines, transmissibility, disease severity, and mortality are discussed. In the last part, challenges and strategies to counter Omicron variant, its lineages and hybrid variants amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic are presented.

This study aimed at identifying the differences between a flipped classroom and a non-flipped classroom instructional model, based on the Self-Determination Theory (SDT). This study employed a mixed-method research approach, using post-tests, questionnaires and focus group interviews during the data collection process. Sixty-one students were the respondents involved in a non-randomised experiment with a control group design, while 10 representative students participated in a focus-group discussion. The results reported that post-test 1 showed no significant difference between the two groups of flipped and non-flipped classroom instruction (t = 1.68, p = .474), while post-tests 2 and 3 were significantly different (t = 5.54, p = .007 < .05) and (t = 10.17, p = .001 < .05). This finding shows that students in the flipped learning environment were more competent handling online tasks and activities, and were able to control their learning outcomes. The survey results showed that the flip-class setting fostered better peer interaction and autonomous learning skills among the students. The flip-class environment had also a positive influence on students’ intrinsic motivation. The qualitative findings from the students’ interviews revealed that students were motivated by the video-recorded lectures, self-regulated learning environments, engagement in class activities and peer interaction. Conclusions from this study showed that the flip-class setting had successfully established the basic psychological needs of SDT, namely: competency, autonomy and relatedness in a flipped classroom model.

This study investigates the distance learning process of teachers during school closure due to COVID-19's impact. This research focuses on the introduction of distance learning, the obstacles faced by teachers and approaches to addressing different hurdles in the implementation of distance learning. This study collected data from mathematics and science teachers spread in junior and senior high schools in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Data were collected through a questionnaire from 353 teachers and interview from 6 teachers to get in-depth information related to the focus of this study. The results of the study revealed that teachers could not directly utilize various Information and Communication Technology (ICT) devices and online learning platforms that are widely available in supporting distance implementation, either due to the ability of teachers, parents' economic factors, limited internet access, and the absence of guidance. However, over time, the teacher can independently adapt to environmental conditions and the characteristics of students in carrying out distance learning.

Perkembangan remaja penting untuk dikaji ulang, karena setiap individu melewati usia remaja dalam rentang kehidupannya. Remaja harus mampu mengembangkan seluruh potensi baik yang ada dalam dirinya sehingga mampu melewati perkembangannya tanpa stres dan penuh kebimbangan. Sehingga teori yang mengatakan usia remaja adalah identik dengan usia badai dan sress adalah keliru. Saat ini semakin banyak remaja mengalami hambatan dalam melaksanakan tugas perkembangannya padahal remaja dituntut agar mampu beradaptasi dengan perkembangan zaman dengan tetap menjaga keimanan yang kokoh, tidak terlibat narkoba, adiktif terhadap pornografi, melakukan seks bebas, dan menjadi korban pelecehan seksual. Adapun tujuan yang hendak dicapai adalah bagaimana perkembangan remaja mampu melewati fase kritis dengan tidak mengalami tekanan yang berat, sehingga berdampak pada perilaku negatif . Studi ini menelaah beberapa kajian teori dan menyesuaikan dengan fenomena yang terjadi saat ini, dan menunjukkan bahwa remaja saat ini sulit menjalankan tugas-tugas perkembangannya jika tidak didukung oleh lingkungan yang sehat. Penyelesaian masalah remaja memerlukan kajian ulang dengan mengkaji pengetahuan yang integratif dan komprehensif tentang bagaimana konsep remaja yang mampu membangkitkan kesadaran mereka sebagai makhluk Allah yang paling berharga di dunia dan menjadi harapan bangsa dan negara.

Artikel ini dilatarbelakangi oleh sebuah fenomena adanya dekadensi moral dan akhlak remaja di era globalisasi ini sudah tidak bisa dihindari lagi. Sebagai salah satu solusinya, pemerintah dalam hal ini Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan mencetuskan adanya pendidikan karakter untuk diimplementasikan di sekolah, dan salah satu nilai karakter yang dimunculkan yaitu karakter religius. Survei yang dilakukan BKKBN menyatakan bahwa 63 persen remaja di beberapa kota besar di Indonesia melakukan seks pranikah, dan para pelaku seks dini itu menyakini, berhubungan seksual satu kali tidak menyebabkan kehamilan. Dari berbagai kasus dan permasalahan pada era global sekarang, pendidikanlah yang pertamakali disoroti oleh masyarakat, khususnya pendidikan agama. Masyarakat menganggap bahwa pendidikan agama yang ada di Indonesia ini belum mampu membentuk manusia yang berkarakter dan berakhlak mulia. Sekolah sebagai suatu instansi pendidikan dianggap tidak mampu melaksanakan pendidikan agama dengan baik sehingga berdampak pada berbagai kasus tersebut di atas. Masyarakat mengaggap bahwasannya pelaksanaan pendidikan agama di sekolah belum mampu menyentuh aspek-aspek religius siswa dalam rangka membentuk siswa yang taat pada aturan agama dan berakhlak sesuai dengan aturan-aturan syariat.

Learning sources play important roles in solving the learning problem. They are commonly identified as messages, people, material, tool, technique, and setting. To achieve a maximum output, it is needed to develop learning sources which are managed systematically, certifiably, and functionally. The use of various learning sources in many educational institution is indeed always influenced by some factors such as internal factor which dominantly influences the teaching learning process. It can be in the form of awareness, motivation, attitude, aptitude, metacognition, ability, skill, and the user comfortness. Another factor is called external one which influences the availability of various learning sources, its quantity, accessibility, the teaching learning process, room, human resources, also tradition and the school system. Teacher and students at schools admitted that the learning sources in their school are still limited, therefore it is needed a serious efforts to provide them.

Mencetak anak sukses bukan hanya tergantung pada lembaga pendidikan formal, melainkan bisa kita mulai dengan memberikan pendidikan di dalam keluarga sejak usia dini. Satu diantara faktor penentu keberhasilan mencetak anak yang berkualitas adalah dengan memanfaatkan suatu kesempatan emas, atau masa keemasan dalam periodisasi tumbuh kembanh mausia atau yang dalam kajian periodisasi pertumbuhan dan perkembangan manusia. dikenal dengan istilah The Golden Age. Dari berbagai penelitian ditemukan bahwa The Golden Age ini terdapat pada masa konsepsi,yakni sejak manusia masih sebagai janin dalam Rahim ibunya hingga beberapa tahun pertama kelahirannya yang diistilahkan dengan usia dini. Dalam kajian mengenai The golden age yang berarti masa keemasan dalam periodisasi kehidupan ini, ternyata peranannya mengambil porsi cukup besar dalam menentukan kualitas manusia. Dari berbagai penelitian diketahui bahwa the Golden Age merupakan masa yang sangat efektif dan urgen untuk dilakukannya optimalisasi berbagai potensi kecerdasan yang dimiliki oleh anak manusia untuk menuju Sumber Daya Manusia yang berkualitas. Keberhasilan ataupun kegagalan pengembangan kecerdasan intelektual, emosional dan spiritual seorang anak sering terletak pada tingkat kemampuan dan kesadaran orang tua dalam memanfaatkan peluang pada masa keemasan ini. Tingkat optimalisasi peran pengasuhan orang tua yang kontinyu dan konsisten terhadap pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak pada priode tersebut sangat menentukan kualitas anak dikemudian hari. Pengasuhan yang dimaksud adalah perawatan dan pendidikan , selain dengan pemberian nutrisi makanan yang memadai untuk pengembangan kecerdasan intelektual, juga nutrisi pemberian non materi untuk pengembangan kecerdasan emosi dan spiritual yang dilakukan melalui kontinuitas dan konsistensi pengasuhan, pendidikan serta penerapan disiplin dalam internalisasi dan sosialisasi ajaran agama , nilai-nilai moral, sosial dan budaya pada periode the golden age tersebut.

Many people think that in order to achieve high academic achievement, the Intellectual Intelligence (IQ) is also have to be high. However, according to the latest research results in the field of psychology to prove that IQ is not the only factor affecting people’s achievement, but there are many other factors that affect, one of them is Emotional Intelligence (EI). EI is the ability to recognize emotions, manage emotions, motivate oneself, show empathy and the ability to build relationships with others. Academic achievement is the result of learning based on the measurement and assessment of learning outcomes that is normally in the form of score written in the rapport. When students have high EI, it will increase their academic achievement. Thus, students should have good EI to achieve a better achievement in school and prepare them for the real world. Emotional intelligence plays a great role in student success at school and in their environment. Therefore, it is recommended to the school especially the teachers to incorporate elements of emotional intelligence in presenting material and engaging students in the classroom.
