Abstract

Weaver ants (Oecophylla smaragdina Fabr.) are social insects that have an ecological role in ecosystems of oil palm plantations. Oecophylla is a predator that prevents ant prey and influences interspecies competition. The study of the ecological population of Oecophylla smaragdina Fabr. Has not been reported, focusing on measuring nest and population density in plantations with varying ages. Important research in understanding the role of Oecophylla as a potential biological control agent in plantations. The purpose of the study was to determine the population density and nest as indicators of biological control. The study was conducted in Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra, with a purposive sampling method, collecting ant nest data based on variations in plant age. The results of our study found that the number of individuals was 4,782 from various nests. The nests found were round and oval with an area ranging from 4.19–24.19 cm². The nests found were at a height of between 1 m and 3.4 m. Population and the formation of nests are also influenced by abiotic and biotic factors. The formation of nests is an indication of interactions between species and is an important factor in the study of the population ecology of Oecophylla as a biological control.

Abstract

Differentiated learning is an approach that accommodates the diverse characteristics and learning needs of students. This study aims to analyze the competence of teachers in implementing differentiated learning in the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subject at SMP Ibnu Sina Pagaralam, which is based on a pesantren model. The research focuses on the teacher's understanding of the concept of differentiated learning, the implementation of learning strategies, and the challenges faced in its application. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and document studies. The subjects of the research are the PAI teachers at SMP Ibnu Sina Pagaralam. The data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis with stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that PAI teachers at SMP Ibnu Sina have a sufficient conceptual understanding but have not yet fully implemented it consistently and comprehensively in the learning process. This is due to a combination of internal and external factors that directly affect the teacher's competence. Supporting factors, such as regular training, flexible teaching materials, and the support of the school principal, strengthen the teacher's capacity to apply the differentiated approach. This study concludes that the competence of teachers in implementing differentiated learning needs to be further improved through continuous training and adequate infrastructure support.
