Abstract

The development of critical thinking skills is a key objective in 21st-century science education, particularly in learning contexts involving complex environmental issues. However, students’ critical thinking abilities remain relatively low due to the dominance of teacher-centered instructional practices. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Auditory, Intellectually, and Repetition (AIR) learning model in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills in environmental change and conservation learning, as well as to analyze differences based on gender. A quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group pretest–posttest design was employed, involving 73 tenth-grade students divided into experimental and control classes. Data were collected using an essay-based critical thinking test developed based on Ennis’ indicators, including interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, and explanation. The results indicate that students in the experimental group achieved significantly higher posttest scores (M = 88.19) and N-Gain (g = 0.72, high category) compared to the control group (M = 60.88; g = 0.21, low category). Improvement was observed across all critical thinking indicators, with the highest gains in advanced clarification and basic skill development. Two-way ANOVA results reveal that the instructional model has a significant effect on students’ critical thinking skills (p < 0.05), while gender and the interaction between model and gender are not statistically significant. These findings demonstrate that the AIR model is effective and inclusive for both male and female students. The study implies that integrating active, discussion-based, and reinforcement-oriented learning models with environmental contexts can enhance students’ higher-order thinking and support meaningful engagement with sustainability issues.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between maternal education level and family well-being in Bandar Lampung, a rapidly developing urban area in Indonesia. The research uses a descriptive quantitative approach, with data collected from 120 respondents through a questionnaire that measures various dimensions of family well-being, including economic status, access to healthcare and education, and overall quality of life. The findings reveal a moderate positive correlation between maternal education and family well-being (r = 0.61, p = 0.001), indicating that higher levels of maternal education significantly improve family welfare. Families with educated mothers report better economic conditions, greater access to healthcare and education, and a higher quality of life. These results highlight the crucial role of maternal education in enhancing family well-being, suggesting that improving education for women, particularly mothers, can have a profound impact on socio-economic development and reduce disparities. The study calls for policy interventions aimed at increasing educational access for women to foster long-term family and community welfare.
