(2) prove the effectiveness of the Numbered Head Together (NHT) learning model on learning to write expository texts. This study uses an experimental research design, the type of experiment used is a true experiment. This study uses the form of a written test in learning to write an exposition text. Sampling was carried out using a total sampling technique with a total of 70 students. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics using SPSS version 25. The results of the research data analysis showed that the application of the NHT (Numbered Head Together) learning model was more effective than the conventional learning model in learning to write Indonesian exposition texts. It is evident from the results of t count > t table or 2,369 > 1,995 so it can be concluded that the hypothesis test H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected, namely the NHT model is effectively used in learning to write exposition texts. In addition, it can be proven by the average value of the experimental class is 78.4 while the average value of the control class is 76.0. This shows that the application of the Numbered Head Together (NHT) model is more effective in learning to write Indonesian exposition texts.

Evaluation of Academic Quality Assurance Program at Sultan AMAI State Islamic Institute Gorontalo

This study aims to determine the evaluation of the academic quality assurance program at the Sultan AMAI State Islamic Institute of Gorontalo. The method used in this research is the descriptive method with the CIPP model (Context, Input, Process, Product). Data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed a lack of alumni readiness to enter the business and professional world so that there were some alumni from one of the departments who had a long waiting period; There are still many departments/study programs that are accredited C. There is still a lack of professional staff in the field of research and community service; There is still a lack of research and community service involving students; Lack of application/transfer of technology as a result of community service with community needs; Internal service programs were still dominant; The community service partnership network has not been maximized; Not yet well-coordinated the target areas/villages; Weak monitoring and evaluation of community service programs, so that it cannot be ascertained that its implementation is in accordance with the scientific field.

The Effect of Flipped Classroom Strategy via Smart Phones in Academic Achievement in the English Language for Blind and Visually Impaired Students

This study aimed to determine the effect of flipped classroom strategy via smart phones in academic achievement in the English language for blind and visually impaired students. To achieve the goal of the study, the researcher used the quasi-experimental approach, and the study sample consisted of (18) blind and visually impaired students at the Senses Center in the city of Irbid, which consisted of (9) students of the experimental group studied using the flipped classroom strategy via smart phones, and (9) (Students for the control group, which studied using the traditional method. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the control and experimental groups in favor of the experimental. This study recommended holding training workshops for teachers at the institute in order to familiarize them with the importance of modern teaching methods such as the flipped classroom strategy, and how to adapt it using smart phone applications and modern technology to suit the blind and visually impaired and designing courses with exercises and models inspired by the flipped classroom, and expanding the application of such programs at all educational levels.

The Influence of Problem-Solving Learning Model and Student Learning Motivation on Mathematical Reasoning Ability

This study aims to determine whether the mathematical reasoning ability of students who are taught by the problem-solving learning model is effective in terms of the learning motivation of class VII students of SMP Negeri 4 Gorontalo. This type of research is Quasi Experiment with Treatment by level 2 x 2 design using two-way analysis test and Tukey test. The results showed that the mathematical reasoning ability of students who had intrinsic learning motivation in problem-solving learning was 84.13 and the mathematical reasoning ability of students who had intrinsic learning motivation in conventional learning was 67.21. This can also be proven through a test with a significant level of 5% and df = 127 indicating t > t(1,127)(0.05). Obtained t = 4.232 for a = 0.05 obtained t(1,127)(0.05) = 2.80 Thus, the reasoning abilities of students who have intrinsic learning motivation are taught by problem-solving learning more effectively than the reasoning abilities of students who have intrinsic learning motivation are taught by conventional learning.
