Elementary students' critical thinking skills are one of the components developed in 21st Century learning. However, these critical thinking skills are still very shallow and far from expectations. It was proven by the results of international surveys that show low average scores. Likewise, the results of the pretest critical thinking skills of fifth-grade students in 2 elementary schools in Sukabumi Regency showed a low average value. This study aims to determine the increase in students' critical thinking skills in learning to read comprehension through the use of the FIVES Model and Guided Reading Model in the Industrial Revolution Era 4.0. The research method uses quasi-experimental with Static Group Pretest-Postest Design. The subject of the research was fifth-grade elementary school students. SDN 4 Cicurug implements the FIVES Model, and SDN 2 Purwasari implements the Guided Reading Model. The results showed that the use of these two models could improve the critical thinking skills of elementary students. However, the increase in students' critical thinking skills through the FIVES Model compared to the Guided Reading Model in reading comprehension in the Industrial Revolution Era 4.0.

Numerous studies demonstrated that the meaning-making of scientific knowledge is affected by the design of multimodal science texts. Various modes are co-operated together in certain inter-semiotic mechanisms to produce meaning in multimodal texts. Based on this perspective, this research seeks to investigate the effect of mode level in science texts and compositional arrangement on the meaning-making of science concepts and processes. In this context, four science texts with the same content (transformation of energy) at different mode densities and two science texts with the same content (covalent bonding) one of which is arranged in accordance with variation theory of learning are designed. By using the case study method, this research explored six experienced science teachers’ views about the effects of mode level and multimodal text composition on meaning-making. The data were collected with semi-structured interviews. The thematic analysis was employed for data analysis. The findings demonstrated that mode density may affect meaning-making and so learning since different modes have affordance to represent different meaning and meaning relationship types. Besides, multimodal text composition may foreground the critical aspects of content, and help to design a coherent multimodal science text.

One of the topics students have understanding difficulties in science is pressure. The study investigates the effectiveness of an active-learning environment on the students' understanding of the concept of pressure. The sample consisted of 30 students from a public secondary school in Turkey. This study used a pre-test, post-test, quasi-experimental research design with a control group. Ten lessons were conducted with both groups. The control group was taught using the coursebook's two activities, while the experimental group was taught using additional activities and models. After the treatment, a post-test was given to both groups to determine the active-learning environment's effectiveness on the students' understanding of the concept of pressure. Interviews were also conducted with the experimental group. The post-test results showed a significant difference in favor of the experimental group. It was determined that students in both groups had misunderstandings of the topic before and after instruction. The interviews showed that the experimental group students perceive that the active learning environment facilitated better and easier learning. The conclusion that can be drawn is that the active learning environment was more effective for the students in the experimental group to learn about the concept of pressure.

One aspect of environmental literacy is that there is an action from someone who is trying to reduce environmental pollution. For primary school students, this effort can be done by processing dry waste into useful items. Processed garbage can be made into scraps that sell for sale or just simple handicrafts. This research was aimed at developing environmental literacy through the use of scraps in primary schools. The research employed a quantitative approach with quasy experimental method. The sample of the research was fifth grade primary school students who were randomly selected. Then the data collection techniques were conducted with the cognitive tests, practice, and attitude questionnaires. Meanwhile, data analysis process employed the inference statistics. The results showed that the activity of utilizing scrap affected the environmental literacy of the students. The aspect that experienced a quite good change was the performance aspect in the form of carrying out used scrap activities. Therefore, the use of scraps could be an effort to build the environmental literacy of primary school students.

This research aims at investigating the effectiveness of the Predict-Explain-Observe-Discuss-Explain (PEODE) based laboratory work activities on pre-service science teachers’ science process skills. A quasi-experimental research model with pre- and post-test via control group was employed in the research. The semi-experimental study was based on 46 pre-service science teachers enrolled in the primary Science Education Program a state university. In the research, randomly selected two groups were used, one experimental group (EG; n = 22) and one control group (CG; n = 24). While the control group participated in traditional laboratory activities work, the experimental group took part in the PEODE-based laboratory work activities. Laboratory activities were carried out in both groups for a total of 9 weeks, two hours a week. Science process skills test (SPST) measuring five different scientific process skills were presented to them as pre- and post-test in order to assess pre-service science teachers’ science process skills. The test scores were analyzed quantitatively with a statistical analysis program. At the end of the research, while there was no significant differences total score of the SPST, significant statistical differences were found between the experimental and control groups in "Making Operational Comments" and "Designing the Research" sub-skills.

Mixed numbers andfraction in general have been a problem for students not only in understanding the concept of itself, but also in understanding the operation of it, such as addition.Thus, supporting students in learning addition of mixed numbers is needed. the aim of this study is to develop a local instructional theory and materials related to supporting students in learning addition mixed numbers. In order to develop the theory, this studyused design research method. The is collected by generatingthe video recording of the learning process, student’s written work, students’ result from pretest and posttest, the result of interview, and also the fields note from the observation. The participants of this study are fourth grade students in one of private elementary school in Palembang. From the study,it can be seen that students have built the reasoning in addition mixed numbers. Some of them are able to use the distribution principle and use equivalence fractions when they adding the mixed numbers, and some of them are directly used the algorithm of changing mixed number to improper fractions. However, it is insufficient to say that the fractions number line has a big role in the students’ finding.

Several previous research have described transformational leadership as successful leadership that led higher education to implement changes for the better. However, a more comprehensive survey on the implementation of transformational leadership in higher education has not been conducted. This research aims at observing a transformational leadership style with the model 4I, namely idealized influence, intellectual stimulation, individual consideration, and inspirational motivation, which is applied to higher education comprehensively. A survey method with questionnaires taken from lecturers working at higher education in Indonesia was used in this research. The findings revealed that attention given to individuals and reducing penalty towards any mistakes by subordinates must be given more attention so that the application of complete combination between one dimension and other dimensions and each indicator of transformational leadership must be carried out. This research is expected to have implications for the effectiveness of higher education leadership, and be used as a reference by higher education leaders in choosing a leadership style.
