Abstract

In this research, a descriptive qualitative design was employed to delve into the perspectives of reading teachers concerning the cultivation of students' critical thinking skills. Through in-depth interviews, the research aimed to unravel the specific methods and instructional techniques these teachers utilized to nurture critical thinking in their students. The research emphasized an open-ended interview process, allowing for a nuanced exploration of the strategies employed by experienced teachers, with a focus on those possessing over 10 years of teaching expertise. The findings revealed that reading teachers, according to the constructivist principles outlined by Brooks and Brooks (2005), acted as facilitators, empowering students to independently construct their understanding of content. The constructivist approach emphasized autonomy, hands-on experiences, and cognitive language use in assignments. Teachers adapted lessons based on student responses, encouraged dialogue, inquired about students' understandings before presenting their own, and fostered experiences that challenged initial hypotheses. Despite challenges posed by standardized testing and ingrained educational approaches, constructivist principles proved effective in cultivating critical thinking skills. The research contributed valuable insights into the complex dynamics of critical thinking in reading instruction, advocating for student-centric and constructivist approaches in education.

Abstract

Training entrepreneurial skills from an early age is about creating young entrepreneurs and forming individuals with a proactive, confident, independent, and resilient attitude in facing the challenges of the times. So efforts to introduce and train entrepreneurship skills at the basic level are a long-term investment in sustainable social, economic, and individual development. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach through the literature study method to explain the implementation activities of the P5 project in training entrepreneurship skills for students in elementary schools. Data collection was collected by collecting references from various sources relevant to the research topic. Data analysis was carried out by critically and deeply examining the library sources that had been obtained, then synthesizing and concluding. This research shows that the P5 project with the theme of entrepreneurship is a forum for entrepreneurship training activities for students. Entrepreneurship activities in elementary schools are very varied, including market day, culinary corner, bazaar, cooking day, trade stand, and work title. This activity encourages students to practice becoming entrepreneurs and instills independent, creative, innovative, and tough characters in students. So, it can be concluded that the P5 project with the theme of entrepreneurship at the elementary school level not only introduces the concept of entrepreneurship and teaches basic entrepreneurial skills but also focuses more on cultivating positive attitudes or characters towards entrepreneurship from an early age.
