Abstract

The study examined the influence of family and school environment on the English language skills of early childhood children at “TK Al-Falah Balombong”. The main objective of this research was to identify the factors hindering English language learning in that place, as well as to determine the extent of children’s interest to know, learn, understand, and master English. This research used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. We found that the family and school environment at “TK Al-Falah Balombong” was not optimal in supporting English language learning. This could be seen from the language they often used at home and in their community, their local language and Indonesian, as well as the gadgets provided by their parents that did not focus on English language learning. The school also lacked competent English language teachers and adequate supporting facilities. Despite these limitations, the children showed high enthusiasm when the researchers introduced English through engaging methods such as songs and animations. To optimize this potential, interactive approaches, competent teachers, and parental support are needed to facilitate their children's English learning.

Abstract

Critical thinking is a core twenty-first-century competency essential for addressing complex global challenges. However, PISA 2022 results indicate that Indonesian students’ critical thinking skills remain relatively low, partly due to teacher-centered and less contextualized learning practices. This study examines the effectiveness of a To’dopuli Mandar-based Debate Camp model in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills. A quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest nonequivalent control group design involving two eleventh-grade classes at SMAN 2 Majene. Data were collected through a validated critical thinking test and analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk test, Mann–Whitney U test, and N-Gain analysis. The results show a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.001), with an N-Gain score of 0.49, indicating a moderate level of improvement. These findings suggest that while the model effectively enhances critical thinking development., the development of higher-order thinking skills remains gradual and requires sustained instructional support. This study highlights that the effectiveness of debate-based learning should be understood not only in terms of measurable improvement but also in relation to the depth and progression of cognitive
