Abstract: Effective learning relies heavily on student engagement. It reflects how involved and motivated students are in their studies, which directly   influences their learning outcomes and personal development. This quantitative study determined the best-fitting structural model of the endogenous variable – student engagement – as influenced by four exogenous variables:  classroom management, classroom environment, students’ school motivation, and learning behavior among public senior high school learners in Region XI. A non-experimental, descriptive-correlational design with structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed, involving 400 senior high school learners from 11 school divisions selected through systematic stratified sampling. Descriptive analysis revealed high levels across all exogenous variables, while student engagement—measured in affective, behavioral, and cognitive domains—was found to be very high.  Correlation analyses indicated significant relationships between student engagement and the four exogenous variables. Further, the findings identified Model 3 as the best-fitting model, signifying direct causal relationships between the four exogenous variables and student engagement. After model modifications, classroom management was best described by effective factors and teachers’ strategies. Classroom environment was represented by its two indicators: proper ventilation of classroom and seats and sitting arrangement. Likewise, students’ school motivation was measured by its two indicators: self- determination and career motivation. Additionally, learning behavior was described by its two remaining indicators: responsibility and motivation. Student engagement was most measured by its indicators- affective; liking for school and behavior; effort and persist. These findings have meaningful implications for educators and policymakers in designing targeted interventions that enhance learner participation, motivation, and achievement in senior high schools.

Keywords: student engagement, classroom management, learning environment, student motivation, learning behavior, SEM, Region XI.

Abstract: Background: In the coastal region of Arungkeke, Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi, The Republic of Indonesia a profound paradox exists where the abundance of natural salt resources often functions as a poverty trap rather than a catalyst for human development. Despite the global commitments of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the local reality is defined by extreme climatic conditions and a "survival literacy" mindset that prioritizes immediate economic gain over long-term education.

Methodology: The research employs a qualitative approach, using in-depth interviews and direct observations of salt pond owners, laborers, teachers, and students. To strengthen the analysis, secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) for the 2019–2024 period was integrated to track trends in School Dropout Rates (APS) and Mean Years of Schooling (RLS).

Results: The findings reveal a strong positive correlation between salt harvest seasons and increased school absenteeism, as children are often viewed as "labor units" to compensate for their aging parents' declining physical health. Statistical data shows that the Mean Years of Schooling in Jeneponto (7.2–7.8 years) remains significantly below the provincial average (8.6 years). Furthermore, the extreme working environment (temperatures reaching to ) and high price volatility ranging from IDR 35,000 to IDR 250,000 per bag create a fragile financial cycle that often forces families to sacrifice their children's education for basic survival.

Conclusion: The vulnerability of salt farmers in Arungkeke needs targeted interventions, such as "Seasonal Scholarships" or transportation subsidies, to mitigate the impact of price drops on education. Additionally, increasing the number of educators who understand local socio-economic wisdom is vital to transforming schools from perceived economic "enemies" into partners for breaking the cycle of poverty in Butta Turatea Jeneponto.

Summary: This article focuses on the impact of the management of drinking water supply using an intelligent prepayment system on the performance of the Regideso city of Likasi. Faced with numerous difficulties in bill collection, fraud, and complaints from subscribers concerning unjustified cuts or billing errors and long queues at the counter for bill payment, it became urgent to introduce a more equitable, automated and reliable solution.

The proposed system is based on STS (Standard Transfer Specification) technology allowing the generation of recharge codes by the IEC or via the GSM network, thus offering customers easy access to water credit, and paying in advance for their consumption via mobile money without depending on a physical counter, this made possible thanks to an intelligent architecture, integrating electronic prepaid meters. The analysis of the results demonstrated a clear improvement in the recovery rate, an increase in REGIDESO's revenue, as well as a significant reduction in commercial losses.

The system has also made it possible to reduce inconveniences between the subscriber and the operator, since consumption is now controlled and anticipated by the user.

Resume: Le présent travail s’inscrit dans le cadre de l’étude de l’optimisation des systèmes de spirale utilisés dans les industries de transformation. IL Porte particulièrement sur l’influence de l’angle d’inclinaison sur le rendement horaire d’une spirale de transport de nitrate d’ammonium à SICODEX. L’efficacité d’un transporteur à vis dépend non seulement de ses caractéristiques géométriques (diamètre, pas, vitesse de rotation), mais également de son inclinaison.

L’analyse comparative a montré que le rendement diminue progressivement avec l’augmentation de l’angle, conséquence des effets de gravité et de frottement qui réduisent la capacité effective de la vis.

Mots clés : spirale, rendement horaire et nitrate d’ammonium

Summary: This work is part of the study of the optimization of spiral systems used in the processing industries. It particularly focuses on the influence of the angle of inclination on the hourly output of an ammonium nitrate transport spiral at SICODEX. The efficiency of a screw conveyor depends not only on its geometric characteristics (diameter, pitch, rotation speed), but also on its inclination.

The comparative analysis showed that the efficiency gradually decreases with increasing angle, a consequence of the effects of gravity and friction which reduce the effective capacity of the screw.

Keywords: spiral, hourly output and ammonium nitrate.

Abstract: This study examined the effectiveness of audio-visual aids in enhancing Creative Arts education among Basic one Learners at St. Monica’s Primary School in the Mampong Municipality. Using an action research design, the study involved 47 Learners selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, classroom observations, and descriptive statistics including frequencies and percentages. The intervention focused on integrating various audio-visual tools such as videos, slide shows, and pictures into Creative Arts instruction to assess their impact on learners’ creativity, participation, and comprehension. Findings revealed significant improvements across all three domains following the intervention. Creativity scores rose with over half of the learners achieving high post-test scores. Participation levels increased substantially, indicating greater learner engagement, while comprehension scores also improved, suggesting enhanced understanding of artistic concepts. The study concluded that audio-visual aids are effective pedagogical tools for enriching Creative Arts education in early childhood settings. It recommended consistent integration of these resources, targeted teacher training, and the development of resource libraries to support diverse learning styles. Future research should explore the long-term impact of audio-visual aids across subjects and their role in promoting collaborative learning and holistic development.
