<![CDATA[Objective: Based on the several aspects, one aspect is quite important in the process of learning science, namely communicating. Argumentation is one of communication skills. Are argumentation can describe understanding concepts? Method: This study uses a literature review method from thirteen articles. Results: Argumentation skills can describe understanding concepts. Interpretation of the correlation coefficient shows that argumentation skills strongly correlate with understanding concepts. It is because argumentation skills positively correlate with critical thinking and logic skills. Argumentation skills can improve students' critical thinking level and logical skills in the thinking process. Everyone has good argumentation skills if has good critical thinking and good logic skills. Novelty: Argumentation skills are one of the communication skills that improve understanding of concepts. Argumentation skills are moderators for high-order thinking skills. It can occur because the components of argumentation skills are claim, evidence, and reasoning. Someone can meet all the argumentation skills components with good thinking.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: Social media has become integral to everyday life, including among emerging adults. Surveys showed that Instagram has become one of emerging adults' most popular social media. Social media could facilitate emerging adult developmental tasks, such as identity exploration. Further, social media uses integration concepts to explore how individuals build emotional connections and involve social media in their daily social routines. Additionally, it is essential to view social media use integration based on educational background. This study explored differences in social media use integration among emerging adults based on education level. Method: A cross-sectional study design was conducted among 305 men and women emerging adults. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire comprising demographic characteristics and a Social Media Use Integration scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and one-way ANOVA statistic technique. Results: Descriptive analysis results showed that individuals with a high school education level had the highest social media use integration scores compared to groups from other education levels. Further, education level notably contributed to the score difference in social media use integration among emerging adults. Novelty: This study contributed to exploring further the social media use integration among emerging adults, specifically in the context of educational background.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: Globalization and rapid technological advancements demand that education evolve to incorporate digital literacy, essential for developing critical thinking skills. This research was conducted to describe the effect of optimizing digital literacy through the PBL model on the critical thinking skills of secondary school students. Method: This research used a Classroom Action Research model and was carried out in 3 cycles of four activities: planning, action, observation, and reflection. Results: The student's critical thinking skills significantly improved throughout PBL implementation. PBL encourages students to be active in solving real problems and allows them to apply digital literacy optimally. The strong correlation between digital literacy and critical thinking skills shows that both complement each other in evaluating and utilizing digital information effectively while honing critical judgment in problem-solving. These interrelated competencies strengthen the learning process, with a focus on problem-solving and in-depth analysis within the PBL framework. Novelty: This study evaluates the role of PBL in enhancing critical thinking via digital literacy in Society 4.0. It underlines the significance of technology in learning, evidencing its benefit to critical thinking, and offers recommendations for educators to utilize PBL and digital literacy to unlock student’s potential.]]>
