This study aims to evaluate the effect of using Project Based Learning (PBL) approach on students' Social Studies learning outcomes, by considering students' initial ability as a relevant factor. The research method used is statistical analysis of student learning outcomes data divided into two groups, namely the group that applied PBL and the control group that used conventional learning methods. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant difference in social studies learning outcomes between the two groups, with a significance value (sig.) obtained of 0.00 <0.05. This indicates that PBL has a positive impact in improving students' understanding of social studies material. In addition, there was also a significant difference in social studies learning outcomes based on students' initial ability, with a sig. of 0.00 < 0.05. However, there was no significant interaction between the application of PBL and students' initial ability in determining students' learning outcomes, as shown by the sig. value of 0.622 > 0.05. The results of this study provide an important contribution in understanding the effectiveness of PBL in improving students' social studies learning outcomes, as well as its implications for the development of more effective learning strategies in the future.

Learning is an activity that can produce changes in a person, both actually and potentially. Learning will be more meaningful if children experience what they learn, not knowing it. One of the learning methods that position the active role of students in this learning is the outdoor and indoor learning methods. The problem raised in this study is whether there are differences in initial test scores and final test scores and differences in learning outcomes in experimental classes using contextual learning methods and classes using conventional methods. This study used Mann Whitney statistical test to analyze the difference in cognitive ability and learning outcomes between two classes, XI-1 and XI-2, before and after the application of certain learning methods. The pretest results showed that both classes had similar initial abilities. However, after the treatment, the class that applied the Problem-Based Learning (PJBL) method with Outdoor Study (Vlog/Long to the Zoo) showed a significant increase in learning outcomes compared to the other class that used PJBL with LKPD. This finding shows that the integration of the contextual approach in the PJBL method with Outdoor Study effectively stimulates students' critical thinking, strengthens problem analysis, and improves learning effectiveness compared to the conventional approach

Environmental issues are the center attention to ensure the continuation of sustainable development. Ecological intelligence is one of the important abilities that students have. One way to intervene in students' ecological intelligence can be done through learning with an ecopedagogical approach. This research aims to determine the effect of the ecopedagogical approach in social studies learning on students' ecological intelligence. This research uses a quantitative type using a quasi-experimental method. Sampling in this study used a purposive sampling technique, with a total sample of 60 students at MTs Negeri 1 Pamekasan who were divided into 2 (two) classes, namely class VII A as the control class, and class VII C as the experimental class. Based on the results of the research that has been carried out, the following conclusions can be drawn; In the experimental class the average N-Gain was 71.26. Meanwhile, the control class had an average N-Gain of 48.11. Then the t-test shows that the sig value. (2-tailed) of 0.000<0.05 which can be concluded that there is a significant (real) difference in effectiveness between the effect of using an ecological approach in social studies learning on students' ecological intelligence compared to conventional learning. Finally, an ecopedagogical approach in social studies learning needs to be developed to foster sensitivity regarding the complexity of environmental problems in order to contribute to environmental issues.

This research is a qualitative study that examines the impact of using ChatGPT on changes in student learning behavior. Behavior change is a process of movement carried out by individuals to adapt to the environment. This research used qualitative research methods and obtained 9 respondents. Data collection methods used observation and interview techniques. The results of this research show that ChatGPT has positive and negative impacts, using ChatGPT makes students quickly complete assignments, but this causes students to become increasingly dependent and lazy about reading articles and books, students will experience decreased literacy and have negative effects.
