This study uses secondary data obtained from the Central Bureau Statistics (BPS). In this study, the data collected is panel data consisting of ten regencies/cities with the highest LFPR levels and ten regencies/cities with the lowest LFPR levels in Central Java Province within a span of 5 years, starting from 2016 – 2020. This research uses a quantitative approach by converting the results of all observations into numerical which is then analyzed through statistics. Based on the effect of research and data analysis using t-tests showed that: (1) There is the influence of GRDP on LFPR of Central Java Province, (2) There is an Effect of Minimum Wage on LFPR of Central Java Province, (3) There is no quality of human resources influence on LFPR central Java Province, (4) there is an influence of GRDP moderated by quality of human resources on LFPR of Central Java Province, and (5) and there is no effect of minimum wage moderated by quality of human resources on LFPR Central Java Province.

Most non-English major students faced many problems with writing skills, especially writing paragraphs. This study was carried out to find out the mistakes that make it difficult to write paragraphs for non-English major students at Tay Do University. In this research, the participants were 6 freshmen majored in Tourism at Tay Do University. The investigation was assessed through an interview. The results showed that non-English major students encountered 3 basic errors when writing paragraphs: grammatical errors, layout errors and vocabulary errors. From the research results, a number of measures have been proposed for students to overcome and practice.

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of the rise of madrasas trying to improve the quality of education through the development of ma’had.  Although the idea of ​​ma’had is identified with pesantren, the characteristics of ma’had born from madrasas are certainly different from ma’had which gave birth to madrasas.  Management’s accuracy or error in understanding these characteristics will determine the position of ma’had as the basis for quality improvement or even increase the burden and distance the madrasa from the ideal quality.  This study took place at MAN 4 Jombang intending to find answers on how to plan the development of ma’had in improving the quality of madrasa education in MAN 4 Jombang.

This research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach.  The research location is Ma’had Hasbullah Said MANPK MAN 4 Jombang.  The data collection technique used observation, interview,w, and documentation techniques.  Data analysis includes single case analysis and case analysis with data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion analysis techniques.

The results of the ma’had planning management research are the formulation of curriculum and student targets, as well as strategies for procurement, recruitment, and management of educators, curriculum, and financing; The findings of this study strengthen Robbins & Coulter’s theory of management functions that the leading function is more effective than the actuating function.  Strengthen the theory of Total Quality Management (TQM) Sallis.  Supports Crosby’s theory of quality policy.

The purpose of this study was to find out the effects of the use of Yoruba language as a medium of instruction on pupils performance in Science and Mathematics. The population of the study comprises all primary three schools pupils selected from primary schools in Ibadan, Oyo State. The sample for this study were 40 participants selected from the population. The sampling technique for this study was multi-stage technique. The instrument used for data collection was Academic Performance Achievement Test (APAT). The instrument was validated by researcher’s supervisor and other lecturers in the Department for content and face validly. All suggestions and corrections made were effected. The reliability of the instrument was carried out using the test-retest method. A total of 10 pupils from St Michael Primary School, Iyana Iba Lagos who were not part of the population were selected for reliability test. Data collected from the first week administration of the instrument was correlated with the first week questionnaire. The two data collected was analysed with Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficients [PPMCC] which yielded 0.84 coefficient after computation. Researcher with four assistants administered the Academic performance Achievement test (APAT) to the two groups before the treatment. The experimental group was exposed to four weeks teaching in Yoruba language while the control group was not be expose to any treatment. Data collected was analysed with frequency counts and simple percentage for demographic data of respondents while the inferential statistics of t-test was used to test all the stated hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Findings from the study revealed that the use of Yoruba language as a medium of instruction had effect on pupil’s performance in Science, Mathematics in primary schools in Oyo State. The study also found gender difference on the effect of the use of Yoruba language as a medium of instruction on pupil’s performance in Science and Mathematics in primary schools in Oyo state. It was recommended that Teachers in primary school s in Oyo State should use the pupil’s mother tongue to teach science based subjects, and Mathematics and should give equal right to both females and male to learn Science and Mathematics in their mother tongue without fear, favour or discrimination.

This paper examines the four strategies for forming the wh-interrogative described by Aoun, Benmamoun, and Choeiri (2010): the gap strategy, the resumptive strategy, the class II resumptive strategy, and the in-situ strategy in the Najdi Arabic dialect. Aoun et al. (2010) investigated these strategies in standard Arabic and Lebanese Arabic. Some Arabic dialects use a subset of these strategies, while others use all four, at least in specific contexts. The contribution of this paper is to shed light on how Najdi Arabic employs these strategies in forming wh-interrogatives in terms of their syntactic properties. With respect to the distribution of wh-interrogatives into arguments and adjuncts, all argumental wh-interrogatives can be utilized in the gap, the class II resumptive, and the in-situ strategies, while a subset can be used in the resumptive strategy. On the other hand, all adjunct wh-interrogatives are employed in the gap and in-situ strategies, but only one selective adjunct wh-word can be applied in the resumptive strategy and the class II resumptive strategy.
