Development of an Interactive Multimedia-Based IIMSE Learning Model: Accounting Learning

The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether the interactive multimedia-based IIMSE learning paradigm is feasible and beneficial for teaching accounting to students in class XI at Budisatrya Private Vocational School in Medan. This kind of research uses the ASSURE model in conjunction with R&D product creation. Based on the validation of learning material experts (86.4%), learning design experts (88.1%), and media experts (90.6%), who all fall into the very feasible category, the research's findings indicate that the interactive multimedia-based IIMSE learning model is appropriate for use. Field trials came in at 85.6%, small group trials came in at 81.7%, and individual trials came in at 77.1%, all falling into the extremely feasible category. The hypothesis submission results demonstrate that the interactive multimedia-based IIMSE learning model is appropriate for use in accounting courses and that the learning outcomes of students treated with the interactive multimedia-based IIMSE learning model differ significantly from those of students treated with the conventional learning model. This is demonstrated by the data processing findings, which show that tcount > ttable (5.63>1.63) at the significance level α = 0.05 with df obtained t table = 50. We can conclude that there are disparities in the learning results before and after therapy, with Ho being rejected and Ha being accepted.

Pengaruh Penyelesaian Tugas Kepala Sekolah terhadap Motivasi Kerja Guru di SMP Pahlawan Nasional Medan

This research aims to examine in depth the influence of completing the principal’s tasks on teacher work motivation in schools. Teacher work motivation is an important element that can influence the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom, which ultimately has an impact on student achievement. The principal has a central role in managing the school and supporting teachers through a variety of administrative and personnel tasks. Effective completion of the principal’s duties is expected to create a conducive work environment, provide clear direction, and improve the work environment. The research method used is a quantitative research method with a correlational type. This research used a total sampling technique with a sample size of all educators and education staff totaling 37.

Identification of Microbiota Causing Bromhidrosis in the Axillary

Bromhidrosis is a clinical condition defined by an uncomfortable or unpleasant body odor. Since the apocrine glands are only active during puberty, most bromhidrosis occurs in the apocrine glands in the armpit and occurs when apocrine gland secretions approach the skin's surface, where they undergo various biochemical reactions caused by the presence of microbiota in the axillary skin, resulting in odor in the axilla. This research aims to identify microbiota species in the axilla that can cause bromhidrosis. A laboratory experimental research design with purposive sampling is used in this study. In this study, 60 samples were collected from students aged 15 to 18 years old at a high school in Medan, and the samples were analyzed at the University of North Sumatra Hospital's Microbiology Laboratory. All samples were taken from the right axillary skin swab, a Gram stain was performed, and the identified microbiota isolates were identified. The results of skin smear culture revealed a Gram-positive cocci group in 59 samples (98.3%) and a Gram-positive bacilli group in only one sample (1.7%). The microbiota responsible for bromhidrosis was identified as Staphylococcus hominis spp. hominins (30.4%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (27.8%), Staphylococcus aureus (16.5%), Kocuria kristinae and Staphylococcus haemolyticus (6.3%), Staphylococcus lugdunensis and Staphylococcus saprophyticus. The most common microbiota that causes bromhidrosis in the axilla is Staphylococcis hominis spp. Hominis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus aureus.

The main data collection technique uses a 5 Likert scale answer choice form. Data is analyzed using simple linear regression to test the research hypothesis. Based on the data processing carried out statistical testing resulted in Ho being rejected and Ha being accepted, which explains that there is an influence of the principal's managerial competence on teacher performance. This is obtained from the result of the Pearson correlation test which shows that the value is 0.512 > tubel 0.361 and the results of the simple linear regression test produce contribution Y’ = 100.242 + 0.322 X, so the results of this test explain that there is a correlation between the managerial comptence of school principals and teacher performance.apart from that, tests are carried out T-test which produced a t-count of 3.157 > t-table, namely 2.048, with a significance value of 0.004 < 5% (0.05). The results in the ANOVA table also support the acceptance of Ha, where the sig. 0.004 < alpha value or 0.05. So, the hypothesis simultaneously proves that there is a significant influence between the managerial competence of school principals on teacher performance. Calculation of the coefficient of determination shows that the principal's managerial competency variable is able to explain the student learning achievement variable by 26,2%. Meanwhile, the remaining 73.8% is explained by other variables not studied.
