Abstract

Learning English as a foreign language within a primary school in Indonesia tends to be teacher-centered and focuses on the single correct answer. The demands of tests and covering textbook materials for tests prevent students from becoming active thinkers. Specific strategies have been proposed to promote critical thinking skills. Previous studies focused on applying thinking routines either in early childhood or higher education. This study examines the effect of thinking routines on sixth-grade elementary school students' critical thinking ability within an English lesson. The quasi-experimental research was conducted with 64 students divided into a control group (N=32) and an experimental group (N=32) at two different schools. This research was conducted online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The data is analyzed statistically using the Mann-Whitney U Test. Critical thinking ability tests and observation sheets were used as data collection tools. The results reveal that thinking routines significantly improved sixth-grade students' critical thinking skills. The result suggests using thinking routines in teaching and learning to support students thinking from different points of view.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to determine the impact of whole-brain learning and a multi-sensory environment on developing cognitive abilities in early childhood. Method: This research method uses a quantitative, quasi-experimental approach. The State University of Malang Laboratory Kindergarten's classes B and C served as the population for this study. The sample was determined by purposive sampling, so there were 60 children. We carried out the data collection process in this study using observation and closed interviews. We conducted observations to evaluate children's cognitive science abilities, encompassing information processing, intelligence, reasoning, language development, and memory. We used closed-ended interviews to measure the children's visual, audio, and kinesthetic learning styles. We processed the data using the SPSS 17.0 program, which included a validity test to determine the product moment, a reliability test with alpha Cronbach, a normality test with Kolmogorov-Smirnov, a homogeneity test with the Levene test, and hypothesis testing to test a two-way ANOVA. Results show a positive relationship between cognitive science development and learning preferences in children's learning styles, whether visual, audio, or kinesthetic. Novelty: This research can improve children's effective recall of information and open opportunities for more inclusive and adaptive learning according to each child's cognitive needs. Therefore, further research in this area has the potential to shape educational practices that are more effective in recognizing the development of cognitive science in children's learning.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of educational background on preparing learning plans in project-based blended learning. Method: The study used a quantitative research method with an experimental research type. The research subjects were 40 teachers, 20 teachers with particular education backgrounds, and 20 teachers not from special education. The data collection technique used a questionnaire to review the educational background. Data analysis used a homogeneity test, normality test, and hypothesis test. Results: Based on the research results, the research data is homogeneous and statistically normally distributed. The results of hypothesis testing show an influence of educational background on the preparation of lesson planning in project-based blended learning statistically. Further research can examine and research the influence of teacher education background in other fields of education, from early school to college. Novelty: This educational background is fundamental because this is where the ability or insight related to the teacher's competence can be reviewed. It is hoped that it is appropriate and the same as the field of education being taught, mainly so that there are no obstacles in the learning or teaching process.
