Belief, Desire, and Intentions (BDI) agents are well suited for complex applications with (soft) real-time reasoning and control requirements. BDI agents are adaptive in the sense that they can quickly reason and react to asynchronous events and act accordingly. However, BDI agents lack learning capabilities to modify their behavior when failures occur frequently. We discuss the use of past experience to improve the agent’s behavior. More precisely, we use past experience to improve the context conditions of the plans contained in the plan library, initially set by a BDI programmer. First, we consider a deterministic and fully observable environment and we discuss how to modify the BDI agent to prevent re-occurrence of failures, which is not a trivial task. Then, we discuss how we can use decision trees to improve the agent’s behavior in a non-deterministic environment.

Purpose Considering the advent of Industry 4.0, organizations need to undergo digital transformation to survive disruptions owing to rapid technological changes. Accordingly, organizations should develop their adaptive capability to respond to these technological advancements and move ahead with their digital transformation journey. Design/methodology/approach Based on the author’s insights as a practitioner on digital transformation and based on existing theoretical frameworks, the author presents a conceptual framework on the determinants of adaptive capability required for digital transformation. Findings Organizations should develop their adaptive capability through improved learning capabilities and effective knowledge management system. They should also focus on exploring innovations and ideas and discard unwanted business processes to meet Industry 4.0 disruptions and achieve digital transformation. Originality/value This study has been done based on the author's academic research on adaptive capability and personal insights after engaging in several digital transformation engagements.

The problem of classroom action research is the low learning outcomes of VC grade 164 students in Pekanbaru. This study aims to improve social studies learning outcomes of VC grade 164 students in Pekanbaru by applying the cooperative method of numbered heads together (NHT). The results of the research and class actions of the Social Studies Course conducted at the VC class SDN 164 Pekanbaru students concluded; Learning outcomes in the first cycle have increased compared to conventional learning. Pre-cycle learning outcomes are an average of 50.25 or sufficient categories; in cycle I, learning outcomes reached an average of 71.75 or in the Good category; in cycle II it increased again by 80.25 or in the Good category; Prasiklus classical completeness is 10 students (25.00%.); the first cycle is 27 students (67.50%); and in the second cycle were 38 students (95.00%). Students who have not been completed are remedial. Observers observed that VC grade 164 students at Pekanbaru Pekanbaru seemed to understand the Numbered Heads Together (NHT) Cooperative Method. They learn and understand shared material in heterogeneous groups of 4-5 students. Based on the results of improved learning studies, the application of the cooperative method of numbered heads together (NHT) succeeded in correcting the problem of the low social studies learning outcomes in VC Class SDN 164 Pekanbaru 2017/2018 Academic Year.

IPS learning is a science of socio-cultural phenomena, and economics. IPS education in primary schools aims todevelop student potential. This study is a classroom action research that aims to improve the learning processwith the ultimate impact of improved learning outcomes. Data obtained on teacher activity cycle II percentage62.5% and 71% at the second meeting. Cycle II the percentage of teacher activity 83% and 92% at the secondmeeting whereas in student activity on cycle I with percentage 50% and second meeting 62,5% increase in cycleII become 75% and 88% at second meeting cycle II. The activity of teachers and students influences the IPSlearning result data with average views on the initial data 68.3, increased to 79.8 and in the daily test II with anaverage of 89.5. The conclusions in this study are make-match strategies effective in improving IPS learningoutcomes.

This research is motivated by the learning result of Social Sciences of Grade VI SD Negeri 022 Jaya Mukti KotaDumai which is still very low. This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of Social Sciences students.From the data analysis there is an increase of both teacher activity, student activity, and student learning result,that is teacher activity at meeting 1 cycle I percentage is 65% (enough) and at meeting 2 increase to 80%(good). In the second cycle of meeting 3 it increases again to 90% (very good) and at meeting 4 increases to95% (very good). Judging from the student activity also increased from the 1st meeting of cycle I was 60%(enough) and at meeting 2 increased to 70% (good). In the second cycle of meeting 3 it increased to 85% (verygood) and at the 4th meeting to 95% (very good). Judging from student learning outcomes, the average basicscore 63 increased to 75 in the first cycle of increase 12 points later in cycle II increased to 95 in cycle II largeincrease of 20 points. From the data analysis there is an increase both from teacher activity, student activity,and student learning outcomes. It can be concluded that the Improved Learning Model concept map can improvethe learning outcomes of IPS students of class VI SD Negeri 022 Jaya Mukti Kota Dumai.
