Abstract:This study aims to examine the application of the High-Low method, Scatterplot, and Least Squares in cost analysis, particularly in separating fixed and variable cost behavior. The research uses a library research approach…
ch by collecting and reviewing literature from textbooks, journals, and official publications related to cost estimation and cost behavior modeling. The findings indicate that the High-Low method is simple because it uses only the highest and lowest activity levels, but its accuracy is limited due to reliance on extreme data points. The Scatterplot method provides a visual representation of the relationship between cost and activity, helping identify patterns and potential outliers; however, its results may vary due to subjective judgment in determining the cost line. Meanwhile, the Least Squares method is considered the most accurate because it utilizes all available data to produce the best-fit regression line, although it requires more complex calculations and statistical understanding. Overall, the selection of the most suitable method depends on the objective of the analysis, data availability, and the level of accuracy required
Abstract:This classroom action research aims to improve students’ understanding of norms and rules in everyday life through the use of picture-based learning media in Grade II UPT SD Negeri 74 Bontorita II during the 2025/2026 academic…
academic year. The study was conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 22 students who were involved in learning activities using instructional pictures and number-pocket media to strengthen conceptual understanding. Data were collected through observation sheets, learning outcomes tests, and teacher reflections. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ learning outcomes and participation. Initial observations showed low understanding of norms and rules, reflected in students’ low discipline, responsibility, and adherence to class regulations. After the implementation of picture media in Cycle I, students’ average score increased from the pre-cycle score of 46.2% to 71.1%. In Cycle II, after using more varied and engaging visual media, students’ average score further improved to 79,36%, surpassing the minimum completeness criteria. The use of picture media was effective because it facilitated concrete understanding, increased motivation, and encouraged active engagement. The study concludes that picture-based media enhances students’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral competencies in learning. It is recommended that teachers integrate more innovative visual media to create meaningful, interactive, and enjoyable learning experiences in civics education and other subjects

p media yang diberikan oleh guru. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, peneliti mengembangkan media yang berkaitan dengan informasi karir yaitu Pop-up Scrapbook Career. Media yang dikembangkan bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman karir siswa sehingga tercapainya tugas perkembangan siswa sekolah dasar pada tahap pertumbuhan karir fase fantasi yaitu kesadaran karir. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan menggunakan metode penelitian dan pengembangan (research and development) dengan model ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation). Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh mengenai gambaran pemahaman karir pada siswa kelas v (lima) SDN Cipocok Jaya 2 kategori tinggi sebesar 58%, kategori sedang sebesar 21% dan kategori rendah sebesar 21%. Kemudian hasil uji kelayakan media sebesar 98% dan dikategorikan sangat layak. Hal tersebut dapat dikatakan bahwa media Pop-up Scrapbook Career layak digunakan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman karir siswa. Setelah media dinyatakan layak, kemudian dilakukannya uji coba dengan skala terbatas pada peserta didik. Hasil uji coba terbatas memperoleh hasil N-Gain Score sebesar 57% dengan kategori cukup efektif.
