This study examined the relationship between student motivation and computational thinking (CT) skills within a Scratch-based learning environment for primary school students. Utilizing a quantitative research design with a pretest-posttest framework, the research involved 28 primary school students engaged in a computational learning program centered on the Jumping Bean concept. A confusion matrix analysis was employed to assess the predictive relationship between motivation levels and improvements in CT skills. The results showed that motivation is a reliable predictor of CT gains, with high precision indicating that highly motivated students are very likely to demonstrate measurable progress. However, the recall score suggests motivation alone is not a conclusive factor, as some motivated students did not achieve the expected CT improvements. This implies that other instructional elements, such as prior knowledge, cognitive differences, teaching methods, and learning design, also significantly impact outcomes. The implications of this research suggest that educators should cultivate motivating learning environments to foster students’ CT skills effectively. Recommendations include integrating gamified elements and personalized feedback to enhance student engagement and motivation in computational learning contexts.

This research is motivated by students’ struggles in understanding some abstract science concepts and their lack of active involvement in the learning process to develop their thinking skills. Abstract science concepts and student involvement can be achieved through interesting multimedia communication tools. This research is survey research that serves as an initial step in the development of snowball throwing based multimedia. the purpose of this study is to determine what students currently need in science learning and how much students need for the development of snowball throwing based multimedia. the research subjects were junior high school students with a total sample of 72 students and 27 science MGMP (Teacher Forum) teachers selected based on region. The study’s analysis consisted of four indicators: analysis of learning problems, analysis of learning objectives, analysis of students, and analysis of learning settings. According to the study’s result, the information obtained was that the development of snowball throwing based multimedia needed to be developed as a science learning media.

Critical thinking is a vital 21st-century graduate attribute that significantly enhances employability and adaptability. This study investigated the effectiveness of experiential learning in fostering students’ critical thinking skills within the context of Indonesian higher education. Using a quantitative pretest-posttest design, data were collected from 117 university students enrolled in a science course at Universitas Riau. A structured questionnaire assessing five levels of critical thinking was used to measure students’ skills before and after the intervention. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ critical thinking after the intervention (p < .001), with an average increase of 6.78 points and a 13.9% gain. Cohen’s d value of 0.84 indicated a large effect size. Post-intervention results showed a substantial shift in the distribution of critical thinking levels, with more students reaching the ‘superior’ and ‘exceptional’ categories. These results underscored the value of active, reflective, and real-world learning experiences in enhancing students’ cognitive skills. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence on pedagogical innovations in science education and offers practical implications for curriculum reform in developing countries.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of differentiated learning management at SMP Negeri 42 Pekanbaru in the context of the Kurikulum Merdeka. This curriculum was launched to address the "learning loss" due to the COVID-19 pandemic and to catch up with Indonesia's educational lag at the international level. Differentiated learning is a strategy that adjusts the learning process to the individual needs of students, taking into account their interests, readiness, and learning profiles. The research method used is a case study with a qualitative approach, involving observations and in-depth interviews with teachers at SMP Negeri 42 Pekanbaru. The results show that most teachers still experience difficulties in implementing differentiated learning according to the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Education. The main obstacles include a lack of understanding of the principles of differentiated learning and limited resources. However, some teachers have successfully adapted this method and reported an increase in student learning motivation. The study concludes that further support from the government and ongoing training is needed to optimize the implementation of differentiated learning in schools. The implications of this study are expected to provide insights for the development of more effective educational policies about learning differentiation in the future.

This study aims to promote primary students’ achivement in scince learning utilizing cooperative leraning model types make a match. The method is Classroom Action Research by applying cooperative learning model type make a match. The data collected in this research are observation sheet of teacher activity and student activity and learning result. The average learning outcomes of science obtained before the action was 62.33 increased to 77.67 in first cycle by percentage of 24.61%. In the second cycle increased to 88.00 with a percentage increase of 41.18%. Thus, it can beconcluded that cooperative learning model type make a match efeectively to promote primary students’ achivement in science learning.

Many students and even teachers still cannot recognize the relevance of the model to build physical knowledge. The study of mental representations built by students in their interactions with the world, phenomena and artifacts, is an important line of research in science education. Therefore, it is not surprising that analogies play an important role inscience education, because the construction of students in mental models of abstractphenomena must be rooted in some existing or previous experiences, to interpret more complex ideas. The purpose of this study is to investigate mental models elementary school students against the phenomenon of day and night. This research is quantitativedescriptive. The research subjects were 20 students in grade six. The results showed that 20% of students had a low mental model (LMM), 45% of students had a moderate mental model (MMM), and 35% of students had a high mental model (HMM). Based on the results of the study it can be said that, (1) 20% of students cannot explain the concepts scientifically and students' understanding is at the level of symbolic representation. (2) 45% of students cannot explain the causes of a phenomenon, student understanding is at the level of macrocospic representation, (3) and 35% of students have concepts with understanding based on real-life observations with scientific concepts learned at school and students' understanding is at the level of representation of microcosms.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of an approach to improve elementary school students’ critical thinking skills. The approach is called MIKIR that stands for mengalami (experiencing), interaksi (interaction), komunikasi (Communication), internalisasi (internalization), and refleksi (reflection). This research was conducted at a public elementary school in Pasir Penyu District, Indragiri Hulu Regency, Indonesia. The subject of this research was 23 fourth grade students. The method used in this research was quasi-experimental method. The experimental design used in this study was pre-test and post-test one group design. The results of the study obtained an average pretest score of 22.13 and an average posttest score of 27.70 from a maximum score of 36. Based on these results, the score increased by 5.57 points or 20.10%. The overall average N-gain value of 0.41 with moderate criteria, so that the MIKIR approach can improve fourth grade students’ critical thinking skills. This result was supported by the results of student learning activities and student responses to learning with the MIKIR approach obtaining an average of 84.6% with a very good category.
