Implementasi Pendidikan Membangun dan Menumbuhkan Karakter Anti Korupsi Menurut Kitab Kejadian
Corruption practices create injustice and increase social disparities that can be very detrimental to many parties. Therefore, efforts to eradicate corruption are very necessary. Anti-corruption education is an important part of ongoing efforts to prevent and eradicate corruption. Anti-corruption education aims to form strong character and moral values, by instilling an awareness of personal responsibility in preventing corrupt practices. Anti-corruption education can be found in many moral and ethical stories, including the biblical story in the book of Genesis about Jacob and Laban. This story teaches the values ​​of honesty, integrity, and justice which are important foundations in anti-corruption education. Jacob, who worked hard for Laban for a long time, experienced deception and injustice when Laban changed his terms many times and treated Jacob dishonestly. The purpose of this study is to build and emphasize the importance of maintaining the values ​​of truth, avoiding manipulation or abuse of power, and fighting for justice in every aspect of life. The research method used is by using literature studies or library studies.

Pengaruh Kualitas Layanan Pembelajaran Terhadap Kepuasan Siswa Kelas X di SMA Negeri 1 Pangaribuan Tahun Pembelajaran 2024/2025
This study aims to determine the influence of the quality of learning services on the satisfaction of Grade X students at SMA Negeri 1 Pangaribuan in the 2024/2025 academic year. The research hypothesis posits that there is a positive and significant influence of the quality of learning services on student satisfaction. The population of this study comprises all Grade X students at SMA Negeri 1 Pangaribuan, totaling 125 individuals. The research instrument used was a questionnaire consisting of 39 items, which was piloted among 30 Grade X students at SMA Negeri 1 Siborongborong—students who were not included as research respondents. The validity of the instrument was tested using Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The correlation coefficients ranged from 0.153 to 0.602, all of which were greater than the critical value (r_table) of 0.316 (at α = 0.05, confidence level = 95%, n = 30). However, five items were found to be invalid as their r_calculated values were less than r_table. Consequently, the researcher decided to discard the invalid items, specifically items number 1, 3, 11, 27, and 32. Therefore, the final valid questionnaire consisted of 34 items, which were used as the research instrument. The reliability of the instrument was tested using the Alpha Formula, yielding a reliability coefficient (r₁₁) of 0.887, which falls into the category of “very strong,” thus confirming that the instrument is reliable. The data analysis process included the following steps: 1) Test of analysis requirements: a) The test for a positive influence resulted in r_xy = 0.789 > r_table (α = 0.05, n = 37) = 0.325, indicating a positive relationship between the quality of learning services and student satisfaction. b) The test for a significant influence showed that t_calculated = 12.382 > t_table (α = 0.05, df = n - 2 = 35) = 2.021, demonstrating a statistically significant influence of learning service quality on student satisfaction. 2) Influence analysis: a) The regression equation obtained was Ŷ = α + bX = 11.978 + 0.607X. b) The coefficient of determination (r²) was calculated to be 0.623, meaning that the quality of learning services accounted for 62.3% of the variance in student satisfaction. 3) Hypothesis testing using the F-test resulted in F_calculated > F_table, i.e., 58.036 > 4.08. Therefore, the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) is accepted, confirming that there is a positive and significant influence of the quality of learning services on the satisfaction of Grade X students at SMA Negeri 1 Pangaribuan.

Learning is a complex process involving various theoretical approaches developed by experts to understand how humans acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes. This article briefly reviews the main learning theories, including behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism and humanism. Behaviorism emphasized observable behavior and the influence of the environment through reinforcement and punishment, with major figures such as B.F. Skinner and Ivan Pavlov.
