Soft skills are non-academic competencies that complement a student's academic achievement to face the world of work in the future. This study aims to identify ways of implementing soft skills and the kind of soft skills emphasized in the teaching and learning of the Malay language among secondary school students in nine selected schools in Kedah, Penang, and Perak. The study involved focus group interviews and individual interviews consisted of 119 students and 26 Malay language teachers. The findings show that soft skills apply directly and indirectly through various learning activities in Malay Language subjects. Respondents from normal schools received less exposure to soft skills compared to respondents from high-performing schools (HPS). Among the soft skills identified in this study are teamwork skills, self-confidence, communication, critical thinking, leadership, influencing skills, critical and creative thinking skills (CCTS), and problem-solving skills. Communication skills and teamwork skills were among the most detected soft skills in the three high-performing schools involved in this study. Meanwhile, the activities carried out to apply soft skills are group discussions, presentations, acting, poetry recitation, storytelling, public speaking, forums, and question and answer. Although this study is not comprehensive in terms of the number of schools and respondents, the findings of this study are important to explain the real scenario of the level of mastery and integration of soft skills, especially in the nine cases of this study.

Teaching Learning

Teaching and learning in school only emphasizes on the aspects of knowing and understanding. An aspect of the analysis, application, synthesis and evaluation is implemented very rarely so the teaching learning process lead to remembering aspect. This study aims to fasilitate students' creative thinking skills using a TASC oriented learning at 29 senior high school students at  X-MIA3 class using one-group pretest-posttest design.  The development of the teaching learning materials used  4D models. Based on the validator’s result the average rating 4,24, while validity og lesson plan the validator’s give an average 4,15 (feasible). The  validator’s also give the average value of materials students 4,25 (feasible). Data were analyzed qualitative descriptively in the implementation of lesson plan was in and test of student learning outcomes good results (with range 3,7-4). Tests of student learning outcomes with median 89,7. Creativel thinking skills of students showed an increase of the number of relevant answers. From the response of students, generally positive response the learning with TASC approach to facility students' creativel thinking skills.  Based on the result can be concluded that the TASC oriented learning  is feasible and can facilitate students' creativel thinking skills. Proses belajar mengajar di sekolah lebih banyak menekankan pada aspek mengetahui dan memahami. Aspek analisis, aplikasi, sintesis dan evaluasi jarang sekali dilakukan sehingga mengajarkan siswa dalam belajar hafalan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melatih keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa menggunakan perangkat pembelajaran berorientasi pendekatan TASC dengan ujicoba pada 29 siswa SMA kelas X-MIA3 dengan rancangan one group pretest-posttest, pengembangan dengan model 4D. Berdasarkan hasil validasi RPP para validator memberikan nilai rata-rata 4,24, sedangkan validitas LKS rata-rata 4,15 dengan kategori layak untuk digunakan. Para validator memberikan nilai rata-rata bahan ajar siswa 4,25 dengan kategori layak digunakan. Data hasil keterlaksanaan pembelajaran  dan tes hasil belajar dianalisis dengan deskriptif kualitatif dengan hasil keterlaksanaan pembelajaran baik (dengan rentang 3,7- 4). Tes hasil belajar siswa mengalami peningkatan rata-rata skor 89,7. Keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa menunjukkan adanya peningkatan dari jumlah jawaban yang relevan. Siswa memberikan respon positif terhadap pembelajaran TASC untuk mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif siswa. Simpulan peneliti bahwa perangkat pembelajaran berorientasi pendekatan TASC layak untuk digunakan dan dapat melatih keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa.

This study aims to determine the ability of creative thinking high school students in physics learning, know the form of assessment of creative thinking abilities. The study was conducted at SMAN 6 Yogyakrata. This type of research is a survey with a cross-sectional method that is a survey conducted once and at a time. The subjects were the principals, teachers of physics from SMAN 6 Yogyakrata and 30 grade XI students. observations, interviews, and questionnaires were used as data collection techniques. The data analysis method used was the quantitative-qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the creative thinking ability of class XI MIA 1 students at SMAN 6 Yogyakarta can be said to be in the average and quite good category, although there are some students whose level of creative thinking ability is low. In addition, the form of assessment used by physics teachers has not been effective and accurate enough in assessing students 'creative thinking abilities. So it is recommended to use The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) in physics learning because it has been proven to be accurate in assessing students' creative thinking abilities.

The designing of high school / Islamic high school physics comic teaching materials has been done to improve students' critical thinking skills in Newton's Law material. The purpose of this research is to determine to develop a physics comic for high school / Islamic high school based on problem-based learning (PBL) to improve the creative thinking skills of students at MAN Sebukar. The research method used is the research and development method, namely the 4D development method which consists of 4 phases: defining, designing, developing and disseminating. At the defining stage, need analysis on curriculum, students, and materials were carried out. The designing stage was done by designing high school / Islamic high school physics comics based on problem based learning to improve students' creative thinking skills. At the developing stage, validity, practicality and effectiveness tests were carried out. Furthermore, the disseminating stage also carried out the practicality and effectiveness tests. At the defining stage, the analysis on results of the students’ score showed the low acquisition of students competencies is due to the low creative thinking skills of students, so a teaching material is designed that is in accordance with the student's needs, materials, and learning objectives that is expected to improve students’ learning competence, namely physics comics for senior high school students/Islamic senior high school students. Furthermore, at the designing stage, an initial draft of PBL-based for / Islamic high school physics comics was made in accordance with the curriculum used in the school where the research was conducted. And in the next stage, namely the developing stage, the analysis results were obtained from the development of physics comics for high school / Islamic high school which have valid (0.85), practical (94.67%), and effective criteria for skill assessment that are judges as very good category. And the final stage after developing stage, namely the disseminating stage, researchers carried out practicality and effectiveness tests in different classes and the practicality test results were obtained in the very practical category, namely 94.33% from students’ response questionnaires and effectiveness test results from the assessment of students knowledge with a percentage of completeness reaching 82.33. % in the very good category, the students' attitude competency reached an average score of 87.43% in the very good category, the skills competency reached an average score of 89.17% with the very good category. The designing of PBL-based high school / Islamic high school physics comics is able to improve students' creative thinking skill since it eventually gives impact on students’ scores.
