Abstract

Critical thinking is an essential skill that enables students to analyze, evaluate, and solve problems rationally and reflectively. However, learning practices show that students’ critical thinking skills remain relatively low, indicating the need for more effective instructional strategies. This study aimed to examine the effects of the STAD model, the NHT model, and a combination of STAD and NHT on the critical thinking skills of multiethnic junior high school students in Ternate City. This study employed a quasi-experimental method using a pretest–posttest nonequivalent control group design. The population consisted of all Grade VII multiethnic students in Ternate City junior high schools, with a sample of 76 students comprising 20 Ternate, 27 Makian, and 29 Tidore students. Research instruments included observation sheets and critical thinking skill tests. Data were collected through pretests and posttests and analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics with analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) at a 0.5% significance level.The results showed that learning models significantly affected students’ critical thinking skills. The STAD model combined with NHT resulted in higher critical thinking skills than STAD, NHT, and conventional learning. Ethnicity also had a significant effect, with Ternate students demonstrating higher critical thinking skills than Makian and Tidore students. Furthermore, the interaction between learning strategies and ethnicity significantly influenced students’ critical thinking skills. Overall, the combination of STAD and NHT was found to be effective in improving the critical thinking skills of students from all ethnic groups.

Abstract

Digital literacy is an important competency for students in facing technological developments and the massive use of social media. However, the low ability of students to filter information, understand social media ethics, and maintain digital security remains a challenge, especially in the city of Sorong. This activity aims to empower students' digital literacy through the optimization of social media in the Muhammadiyah Student Association (IPM) of Sorong City. The implementation methods include digital literacy education, social media management training, and assistance in creating educational and ethical content. The activity evaluation was conducted using pretests and posttests to measure the increase in participants' digital literacy. The results showed an increase in the average digital literacy score of students from 55% in the pretest to 82% in the posttest, or an increase of 27%. These findings indicate that the optimization of IPM social media is effective as a means of digital literacy education and the formation of critical, safe, and productive social media behavior. This activity is expected to become a model for strengthening students' digital literacy that is sustainable and can be replicated in other student organizations.
