<![CDATA[Critical concerns in estimating measurement invariance of the Schutte emotional intelligence scale by gender and age among undergraduate students. This research aims to analyze five research questions, which are analyzed using exploratory factor analysis together with a correlation matrix to explain the relationship between the variables studied. This study used a cross-sectional, multi-method, multi-trait research design, drawing on a random sample of 300 first-year undergraduate students selected from three universities. The Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.872, served as the main instrument for data collection. The results showed that the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale demonstrated good model fit, as evidenced by the chi-square goodness-of-fit statistic (X^2(220) = 955.19, p < 0.05). This shows that the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale shows strong suitability with the model used in this research. However, it is important to consider that the chi-square goodness-of-fit may be affected by sample size, prompting examination of additional model fit indices. Further, within the Nigerian population, 23 out of the 33 items in the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale were found to be suitable for individuals in the age range of adolescence and emerging adulthood.]]>

<![CDATA[This research is motivated by numeracy problems that exist in elementary schools. Students tend to be more passive in learning mathematics because students have difficulty expressing mathematical arguments and ideas. Lack of innovation in the learning process makes students bored while studying. Therefore, an appropriate learning model is needed. This research aims to determine the effect of the contextual-based Open-Ended learning model on the numeracy abilities of fourth grade elementary school students. The type of research used is quasi-experimental research with the Nonequivalent Control Group Design type. The population in this study was all class IV elementary schools consisting of 9 classes with a total of 214 students. The sampling technique in this study was a cluster random sampling technique so that the sample obtained in this study was 28 people as the experimental group and 26 people as the control group. Numeracy ability data was obtained by administering an instrument in the form of an objective test in the form of a regular multiple choice. Student numeracy ability data was analyzed using the Polled Variance t-test. The results of the analysis show that there are significant differences between the experimental group and the control group. Thus, it can be concluded that the contextual-based Open-Ended model has an influence on the numeracy abilities of fourth grade elementary school students. The Contextual-based Open-Ended Model not only provides students with open problems related to real situations but can also guarantee openness to student activities in the learning process]]>

<![CDATA[The lack of analytical proficiency among elementary school students is evident from their insufficient training in answering contextual questions that require analysis. Consequently, their ability to critically evaluate their work is quite limited. This study aims to examine the impact of the PBL model using poster media on students' understanding of expressing opinions in elementary science and social studies (IPAS) lessons. This research employs a quantitative experimental methodology using a nonequivalent control group design. The population consists of 60 students divided into an experimental group and a control group. Rational analysis shows that the N-Gain percentage in the experimental group is superior to that in the control group, with the experimental group achieving an N-Gain percentage of 72.44%, compared to 38.61% in the control group. The results of the paired sample t-test found that the sig. (2- tailed) value was 0.000 < 0.05. The research indicates that the use of PBL assisted by poster media provides significant feedback on students' critical thinking skills. From this data, it can be stated that there is an impact of PBL assisted by poster media on students' ability to observe critically in fifth-grade IPAS lessons.]]>
