Abstract

Improving critical thinking skills is one of the main goals of 21st century education, especially at the elementary school level. This ability is important to help students analyze problems, find solutions, and make decisions logically. However, initial observations showed that fourth-grade students of SD Negeri 1 Jatimulyo still had difficulty in developing this ability, especially in mathematics subjects that require an understanding of abstract concepts. Therefore, innovation in learning models is needed to support the improvement of students' critical thinking skills. One approach that can be used is a problem-based learning model that involves teaching aids, such as a geoboard. A geoboard is a simple but effective teaching aid that can help students understand geometric concepts through exploration and visualization activities. The use of this tool is expected to not only increase students' interest in learning but also hone their critical thinking skills in an interactive and fun way. This study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of this approach in improving students' critical thinking skills.

Abstract

Mastery of vocabulary is a crucial element in learning Arabic, particularly for young children.

The research adopts a qualitative-descriptive approach, gathering data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the singing method successfully creates a fun learning environment, boosts children's motivation, and helps them easily remember and acquire Arabic vocabulary. The chosen songs feature simple vocabulary that aligns with children's everyday lives, accompanied by movements to reinforce understanding and encourage active participation. The implementation of this method also supports the development of children's cognitive, emotional, and motor skills. Therefore, the singing method has proven to be an effective and innovative approach in teaching Arabic to 5-6-year-old children.

Abstract

Mathematical literacy supports the importance of children developing a strong understanding of basic mathematical concepts and engaging in mathematical explorations that are relevant to their lives. Mathematical literacy refers to a child's ability to understand and apply basic mathematical concepts, while habits of mind include deep thinking habits such as critical, creative, and reflective thinking. This study aims to explore the relationship between mathematical literacy and habits of mind in early childhood. This study used a quantitative approach with a correlational design, involving 28 preschool children selected through stratified cluster sampling. Data were collected using a mathematical literacy test, a habits of mind questionnaire, and interviews with parents and teachers. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between mathematical literacy and habits of mind (r = 0.730, p < 0.05). The contribution of habits of mind to mathematical literacy was 53.3%, indicating that good habits of mind play an important role in improving children's mathematical literacy. So it can be concluded that developing habits of mind through well-planned learning can strengthen early childhood mathematical literacy.
