New student admissions (PMB) promotion is an important factor in increasing the number and quality of prospective students. However, promotional strategies that do not optimally utilize historical data can result in less targeted promotional activities. This study aims to analyze historical PMB data as a basis for developing a more effective promotional strategy in the Information and Computer Technology Department of the Lhokseumawe State Polytechnic. 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.

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.

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using a Smartboard in increasing students' enthusiasm for learning in the Pancasila Education subject in grade V of SDN 07 Mudiak Lawe, Sungai Pagu District, South Solok Regency.&#8230; gency. From initial observations, it was seen that students' enthusiasm for learning tended to be low, as seen from their inactive attitudes, little interaction, and easily distracted when teachers used less diverse learning methods. To address this, a Smartboard was proposed as an innovative solution. This tool is an interactive whiteboard that uses multimedia and audiovisual technology, so it can combine teaching materials with images, videos, and animations to make learning more interesting and diverse. The method used in this study was the correlation method, namely a quantitative method that studies the relationship between the use of Smartboard interactive features and the level of student enthusiasm for learning. The results showed that the use of Smartboard in learning was proven to be able to increase student enthusiasm for learning. After implementing the Smartboard, students appeared more active and enthusiastic during the learning process, so that their enthusiasm for learning increased and reduced boredom. The implementation of Smartboard involves game-based learning methods such as Duck Race Games and Wordwall, which successfully trigger students' curiosity, focus, and enthusiasm, and encourage them to actively participate in answering questions and interacting in class.

Eva Betty Simanjuntak, Dea Yuanita Nasution, Hiskia Rahmadani, Joy Gracia Pakpahan, Rizka Amelia, Winda Nainggolan
Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of group learning methods in improving the English skills of sixth-grade students at SD Negeri 060878. Using a qualitative approach involving direct interviews, questionnaires,&#8230; s, and documentation, this study identified three main problems that hinder the success of group learning: gender differences affecting group formation, difficulty ensuring the active participation of each member, and relatively long time for group management. The results of the study indicate that these problems cause group learning to be less effective and have an impact on the decline in students' English skills. Therefore, strategies such as forming inclusive groups, clear division of tasks, the use of participatory observation instruments, the utilization of technology, and the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning approach are recommended to improve the effectiveness of group learning and students' English skills. This study provides an important contribution to developing English teaching methods at the elementary school level by considering social aspects and more effective classroom management.
