Quantitative literacy is the ability and confidence in using basic mathematical concepts and calculating operations needed for problem solving, decision making of economic problems and their applications in everyday life. Mastery of basic mathematics is an absolute requirement for achieving good quantitative literacy skills. The aim of this activity was to improve mathematical literacy skills of the students at SMA 8 Bengkulu City. The activities were begun by giving pre-tests to students, preparing of modules, presenting the materials of the modules in classroom, practicing through LKS and post-tests. Several techniques, methods and approaches in number counting operations have been presented in this activity. This activity has provided an increase in quantitative literacy skills in class XI IIS-1 SMA 8 Kota Bengkulu. Even so, the improvement of students' abilities can be said to be less optimal because there are still some questions that cannot be answered by almost all students. Therefore, cooperation and involvement of all parties is needed to improve students' quantitative literacy skills and follow-up activities in an effort to strengthen quantitative literacy skills.

<p>In XYZ elementary school, most grade 2 students show a lack of curiosity when learning Bible as a study subject, which cause the low participation score in learning that subject. Those students also show difficulties when doing the summative test which is caused by their deficiency in comprehending the written Bible story. Moreover, the students show minimum reflective thinking skill which needs to be noticed because the skill is important for learning process in the class. Those reasons show that grade 2 students’ curiosity, reading comprehension and reflective thinking skill when learning Biblical Studies need to be improved. KWHLAQ is a well-known strategy which is suitable to be used in improving the students’ curiosity, reading comprehension and reflective thinking skill. Therefore, this research was conducted to know the difference of students’ curiosity, reading comprehension and reflective thinking skill before and after using the KWHLAQ strategy. The research design used a quantitative, experimental one group pretest and posttest method. The subject of this research were 25 students of XYZ Elementary School – grade 2A which consist of 13 boys and 12 girls. The sample were chosen using purposive sampling technique. The data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics (Paired Sample T-test and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks). The results showed that there were differences in grade 2A students’ curiosity, reading comprehension, and reflective thinking skill in learning Biblical studies after applying the KWHLAQ strategy.</p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: </strong>Kurangnya rasa ingin tahu siswa pada pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK) di SD XYZ menyebabkan rendahnya nilai partisipasi siswa dalam pelajaran PAK. Pemahaman membaca Alkitab juga kurang ditumbuhkan dalam diri siswa terlihat dari kesulitan siswa mengerjakan tes sumatif. Kurangnya kemampuan berpikir reflektif siswa perlu mendapat perhatian dalam pembelajaran di kelas. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa rasa ingin tahu, pemahaman membaca, dan kemampuan berpikir reflektif siswa dalam pelajaran PAK di SD XYZ perlu ditingkatkan. Strategi KWHLAQ adalah strategi yang sangat baik diterapkan dalam pembelajaran PAK untuk meningkatkan rasa ingin tahu, pemahaman siswa, dan kemampuan berpikir reflektif siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan rasa ingin tahu, pemahaman membaca, dan kemampuan berpikir reflektif siswa dengan menggunakan strategi KWHLAQ. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan metode eksperimental. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah <em>one-group pretest-posttest</em>. Subyek penelitian terdiri dari 25 siswa terdiri dari 13 laki-laki dan 12 perempuan yang seluruhnya berasal dari siswa kelas 2A SD XYZ Jakarta Barat. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan <em>purposive sampling</em>. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan inferensial (Uji <em>Paired Sample T-test</em> dan Uji Wilcoxon). Temuan penelitian mengungkapkan adanya perbedaan rasa ingin tahu, pemahaman membaca, dan kemampuan berpikir reflektif siswa kelas 2A SD XYZ dalam pelajaran PAK sesudah penerapan strategi KWHLAQ.</p>

Admittedly, the teaching and learning of programming courses in the computer science and information technology programs have been extremely challenging. Currently, most instructors depend on either the problem-solving technique or the metacognitive technique to help students develop a range of cognitive skills, including metacognitive skills, which are important in the development of a strong computational thinking skill required for 21st-century learning. Studies focusing on the practices of instructors in using both techniques are scarce, thus motivating the researchers to carry out this study. This study was based on a qualitative approach involving a case-study design in which five (5) male and five (5) female instructors were selected from 10 pre-university centers in Malaysia as the respondents and participants in an intervention program. The research instruments used were an interview checklist and intervention guidelines. As anticipated, the findings showed that the activities of each technique could only help students develop certain sub-skills of the computational thinking skill, thus underscoring the need for instructors to integrate both techniques in their teaching practices. Thus, it could be reasoned that using either the metacognitive technique or the problem-solving technique alone would not be sufficient to help students develop strong computational thinking skills, as each technique has its strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, it becomes imperative for instructors to leverage the strengths of both techniques by integrating both of them in the teaching and learning of programming courses.
