The purpose of this research is In 21st century learning students are required to be more active in learning than teachers, therefore this study aims to determine whether there is an influence between the LAPS-Heuristic learning model and the ability to solve problems. Methodology: Using quantitative descriptive. Where, the number of samples in this study were 436 students from SMP 11 Jambi City who used purposive sampling technique. Data were then analyzed with the help of SPSS 21 application to find descriptive statistics in the form of mean, min, max, and category as well as inferential statistics using simple regression. Finding: The results obtained in this study are dominant both in the ability of student problem solving and the effectiveness of the LAPS-Heuristic learning model in mathematics lessons. With this, it is strengthened by the existence of a relationship and influence between the LAPS-Heuristic learning model and the students' problem solving abilities seen from the sig value below 0.025, which is 0.019 and has a contribution of 70.3%.

The research method using quasi experiment with pretest-posttest control group design. The sampling technique used purposive sampling technique, class XII student high school in Bandar Lampung. The instruments are feasibility student worksheet of observation sheet, student responses to the student worksheet, student activity sheets, and conceptual understanding test and problem-solving ability test. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis by percentage, N-gain analysis, and independent t-test. The results showed student worksheet based on multiple representation: 1) practical, which is indicated by a) the average score student worksheet enforceability in any learning activity that is 87.31 with very high criteria and b) the positive response of students (83.75%) against student worksheet. 2) effective, which is indicated by a) the student's activity during the study included in the active category, and b) there are significant differences in conceptual understanding and problem-solving ability between the experiment class and control class. Conceptual understanding and problem-solving ability are taught using student worksheet based on multiple representation the experimental class better than the control class.

The growing trade fair economy has motivated studies relating to trade fair planning, effectiveness, and evaluation, among others. However, limited studies have explored residents’ perception of socio-economic impacts of trade fairs on communities. Since residents’ negative attitude can affect sustainability of trade fairs, it is important for organisers to understand residents’ perception of the socio-economic impacts of such events. The present study investigated residents’ perceptions of the impacts of a regional trade fair in Ghana. Through a quantitative research design, a questionnaire survey of 447 residents of How as undertaken through a convenience sampling technique in public places and houses. Kruscal-Wallis One-Way ANOVA tests indicate that perceptions of residents did not vary by gender. The results further confirm the inconsistency of socio-demographic variables in explaining residents’ perception of event impacts. There was significant difference between age groups on some statements while others showed no difference. Generally, residents were positive toward the impacts of the fair.

Problem-solving skill is an important component in achieving a successful 21st-century learning system. This research aimed to explore Pre-service Chemistry Teacher’ (PsCT’) problem-solving skill after CBL (Context-based learning) implementation with vocational case on petroleum and polymer topic of chemistry. A descriptive study on the CBL implementation was adopted in this research. The study focused on the exploration of PsCT’ problem-solving skill. Through convenient sampling technique, the sample covered a total of 34 PsCT (10 males and 24 females) who enrolled in vocational chemistry course were selected in this study. The data of PsCT’ problem-solving skill were collected through Rubric for Problem-solving skill (RPSS). There were four aspects of problem-solving skill used in this research, namely problems identification skills, information collection skills, skills to provide possible solution, and skills of communicating the possible solution. These data were analysed according to descriptive quantity and one-way ANOVA technique. Three open-ended questions were used to explore PsCT’s view about the relevance, usefulness, and effectiveness of the CBL implementation. There was a significant difference on PsCT’ problems solving skills among petroleum and polymer topic.  The result of this study indicated that PsCT’ problem-solving skill still in sufficient category. Hence, these skills should be improved especially on the skills to analyse the problem comprehensively and make an appropriate conclusion. The PsCT have positive view toward CBL implementation about the relevance, usefulness, and effectiveness. The implementation of CBL with vocational case is promising since it could improve PsCT’ problem-solving skills.

The aims of the study are: 1) Determining the level of understanding of the Divine Name for students taught using methods hanifida. 2) Determining the level of understanding of the Divine Name for students taught using conventional methods. 3) Knowing a significant difference in the level of understanding of the Divine Name for the students taught with hanifida method and the students taught by conventional method. This research is a quantitative research design that uses one-group comparative pretest posttest design. The research approach used in this study is a comparative approach by comparing the 2 methods used as an experiment. The population in this study were all students of SMA Negeri 3 Samarinda counted 1010. The taking sampling technique used is purposive sampling, i.e. taking class X IPA 1 IPA 2, both classes were sampled by reason of that class have been using hanifida method and conventional method in learning process about the Divine Name in the subject matter of Islamic Religion. Data collection technique used is observation and objective tests. Techniques used in data prerequisite test analysis is normality test, homogeneity test, chi square and hypothesis testing. The results of this study is that the level of understanding of the Divine Name by students taught by using hanifida is very effective. This is proofed by the findings that the average score of conventional method is lower than using hanifida method.  The score is 72.13% for and 81.57%.
