The level of accuracy in determining the prediction of the provision of educational funding assistance is very important for the education agency. The large number of data on prospective beneficiaries can be processed into information that can be used as decision support in determining eligibility for education funding assistance. The data processing is included in the field of data mining. One method that can be applied in predicting the feasibility of receiving aid funds is classification. There are several classification algorithms, one of which is a decision tree. The famous decision tree algorithm is C4.5. The C4.5 algorithm can be applied in classifying prospective recipients of educational aid funds. This study uses datasets from student data of SMK Al Fattah Kertosono. The purpose of this study is to increase the accuracy of the C4.5 algorithm by applying adaboost in classifying students who deserve education funding and not, by comparing the results before and after applying adaboost. Validation in this study uses cross validation. While the measurement of accuracy is measured by the confusion matrix. The experimental results show that there is an increase in accuracy of 7.2%. The accuracy of the application of the C4.5 algorithm reaches 91.32%. While the accuracy of the application of the C4.5 algorithm with adaboost reached 98.55%.

The aim of the research was to conduct an investigation of the strength of the RAFT (Role, Audience, Format, Topic) Strategy and Google Classroom when applied in teaching writing. This sort of research employed a non-random sample from all student demographics using a non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design. Since a control group for the study was actually impossible to obtain, a quasi-experimental design was adopted. The study was applied in SMPN 1 Kanigoro Blitar, 2021–2022 academic year. The student of two classes, VII F and VII G, from which the treatment class was chosen by lottery served as the research subject for this study. Class VII G becomes the control class group and receives the conventional style of instruction, while class VII F served as the experimental class group that received the RAFT Strategy with Google Classroom treatment. ANCOVA was used to try and lessen some of these discrepancies as these groups differed on various criteria. According to study and data analysis, the research hypothesis was accepted and the null hypothesis was rejected as a consequence of data calculations. It could be concluded that the Role, Audience, Format, And Topic (RAFT) technique can have a big impact on students' capacity to create descriptive texts.

The aims of this research were: (1) to find out how teachers in rural areas implement the 2013 curriculum in teaching English (2) to find out what problems are faced by English teachers in rural areas in implementing the 2013 curriculum. This research used a qualitative method. The subjects of this research were English teachers of SMPN 9 Seko, SMPN 1 Seko, and SMPN 2 Seko. The total number of subjects was five English teachers. The procedure of this research was collected by doing observation and interviewing the English teachers using questionnaires. The results of this research showed that: first, implementation of the 2013 curriculum in Seko District as a rural area is still not going well and ineffective because there are still components of the teaching and learning process that have not been implemented systematically and precisely in the teaching and learning process. Second, the result based on the interview was the first problem that the teachers faced in teaching English in rural areas is the unavailability of learning media and most of the students still used their local language or mother tongue as a daily language which makes students usually do not understand well when teachers explain the lesson.

Education is the foundation of hope for improving the quality of human resources. Children are the main priority in education, because they will be the successors of the nation and religion. Education is a human right as well as a means to realize other human rights. As an enabling right, education is the main target through which adults and especially children who are economically and socially marginalized can lift themselves out of poverty and find ways to be involved in their communities, because education plays an important role in empowering women, protecting children from hazardous work and sexual exploitation. The encouragement factor from family, environment, and teachers is very influential in the spirit of taking education in Hasang Village. In Hasang Village, there are some parents who still lack awareness of the importance of education, plus the damaged road access in this village reduces the enthusiasm of the residents in taking education to a higher level. The purpose of this study is to analyze the local government's efforts to improve education in Hasang Village. This research is descriptive using survey and observation methods. So it can be concluded that the government.

The problem in learning English is almost all students have difficulty in learning vocabulary and the students lack of mastery of English vocabulary, another problem is that students' interest in learning vocabulary is very low because they think it is very difficult to memorize it. In addition, teachers do not use media to help the vocabulary learning process. So, the students need media to help learn vocabulary. The aim of this study is to develop the android based educational games and to know the result of develop the android based educational games. This type of study is Research and Development (R&D) used the Borg and Gall procedure which uses 6 stages out of 10 stages of development. There are need analysis, product design, product validation, product revision, product testing, and revise the product. The subject of the research is seventh grade students in SMPI Hasanuddin Kesamben. The feasibility of the media based on the results of the percentage of expert validation, namely: 92% media experts with Valid/Very Decent categories, material experts 81.25% with Valid/Very Decent categories. Furthermore, the results of student satisfaction were 89% with the product category "Valid / Very Decent". Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Android-based educational game media for vocabulary is very interesting to use as a supplementary media.

The promotion of employee well-being and performance is one of the key goals of organisations after COVID-19. Nonetheless, the current economic crisis tyrannises this goal, cruelly jeopardising the sustainability of prior decades’ well- being and performance. It is acknowledged that stress is unavoidable and if not managed properly, can have a negative impact on teachers’ health and well-being. In the current research, responses were collected from 512 university teachers to understand the challenges they are facing and the results were analysed with the help of ‘principal component analysis’. Results revealed that major factors contributing to the feelings of being stressed are sense of insecurity due to poor skills, unable to meet deadlines, lack of clarity, violating formal procedures, uninteresting work, poor quality due to heavy workload, fear of losing job, and lack of training and preparation. The symptoms and dangers of stress can be reduced by raising awareness, taking remedial action and engaging in appropriate stress-reduction activities.

The global tobacco pandemic continues to cause enormous health burden and fatality, especially in the low and middle-income countries (LMICs), in spite of continuing efforts under the umbrella of FCTC. India, representing a complex pattern of tobacco use, both in smoking and smokeless forms, remains the second largest tobacco-using country. This study was designed to understand the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictive measures on all groups of tobacco users and the impact on the users of e-cigarettes (EC), as a result of imposition of ban. A well-designed, online or CATI interview-based survey was conducted in eight large metropolitan cities of India on 3005 samples (smoking tobacco [ST]: 1,193; smokeless tobacco [SLT]: 966; and EC: 846). The study finds all groups were affected albeit differently The COVID-19 crisis affected all tobacco user segments positively as well as negatively. EC users, unless supported appropriately, were likely to revert to tobacco use after having quit it successfully.
