The study uses a descriptive quantitative approach utilizing secondary PMB data for the 2023–2025 period. The analysis was carried out through the stages of data cleaning, data transformation, descriptive statistics, prospective student segmentation, and data visualization using an analytical dashboard. The variables analyzed included study program, school of origin, major of origin of school, sub-district, regency/city, province, admission route, and applicant information sources. The results show that most applicants come from Aceh Province, especially North Aceh Regency and Lhokseumawe City, with a predominance of science graduates and the greatest interest in the Informatics Engineering Study Program. Instagram and websites are the main sources of information for prospective students. The use of historical data through data visualization can provide more comprehensive information regarding the characteristics of prospective students so that it can support decision-making in developing more targeted, effective, and data-based PMB promotion strategies. 

PENGARUH GOOGLE EARTH TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR IPS MATERI KENAMPAKAN ALAM MELALUI MODEL CTL PADA SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR

Prabowo, Moh Junaidi, Istitoah, Muhammad Naufal, Ika Dian Rahmawati
Abstract: This study aims to determine the effect of using Google Earth media through the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model on the learning outcomes of social studies on natural phenomena material for fifth-grade students&#8230; ts of SDN Telang 2 in the 2026/2027 academic year. The study used a quantitative approach with the Pre-Experimental Design method and One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The research subjects were 17 students. Data collection techniques were carried out through tests, observations, and documentation. The research instrument was a multiple-choice test given before and after treatment. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-test. The results showed that the average pretest score of 68.82 increased to 79.41 in the posttest, with an increase of 10.59 points. The results of the paired sample t-test showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 <0.05, so H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted. These findings indicate that the use of Google Earth media through the CTL model has a significant effect on the learning outcomes of social studies on natural phenomena material. The integration of Google Earth and CTL provides a more contextual, interactive, and meaningful learning experience, helping students understand the concept of natural features more concretely. Therefore, Google Earth, through the CTL model, can be used as an alternative media and effective learning model to improve social studies learning outcomes in elementary schools.   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan media Google Earth melalui model Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) terhadap hasil belajar IPS materi kenampakan alam pada siswa kelas V SDN Telang 2 Tahun Pelajaran 2026/2027.

Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui tes, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Instrumen penelitian berupa tes pilihan ganda yang diberikan sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan. Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan uji paired sample t-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai rata-rata pretest sebesar 68,82 meningkat menjadi 79,41 pada posttest, dengan peningkatan sebesar 10,59 poin. Hasil uji paired sample t-test menunjukkan nilai signifikansi (2-tailed) sebesar 0,000 < 0,05, sehingga H₀ ditolak dan H₁ diterima. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan media Google Earth melalui model CTL berpengaruh signifikan terhadap hasil belajar IPS materi kenampakan alam. Integrasi Google Earth dan CTL mampu memberikan pengalaman belajar yang lebih kontekstual, interaktif, dan bermakna sehingga membantu siswa memahami konsep kenampakan alam secara lebih konkret. Oleh karena itu, Google Earth melalui model CTL dapat dijadikan alternatif media dan model pembelajaran yang efektif untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar IPS di sekolah dasar.

This research aims to determine the impact of implementing child-friendly education management on student independence and creativity at Integrated Islamic Elementary School (SDIT) Buah Hati. This research uses quantitative methods with descriptive research design. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, questionnaires and interviews with students and teachers. The data sources for this research are fifth grade students and teachers at SDIT Buah Hati. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques to describe current conditions. The research results showed a significant increase in the aspects of independence, creativity, time discipline, ability to work together, and students' self-confidence after implementing child-friendly education management. Student independence increased by 20%, creativity increased by 20%, and time discipline and the ability to work together also showed significant improvements. The implication of this research is that the implementation of child-friendly educational management is effective in increasing student independence and creativity. Therefore, schools are expected to implement child-friendly principles in every aspect of learning to support maximum student development.
