This research was conducted to identify and describe prospective teachers’ critical thinking skills profile as readiness to face the industrial revolution 4.0. This research was a descriptive research. Research subjects were  chemistry education students who are prospective chemistry teachers. The instruments used in this study were the Critical Thinking Ability Test and Critical Thinking Ability Questionnaire. The instrument used is valid and reliable. The results of the study showed that the critical thinking skills of prospective chemistry teacher students are still in sufficient criteria with average score 46,7. It was also found that students' critical thinking skills in 5th  semester  were better than those in semester 3rd and 1st with average score 57,46 and 41. This result was also supported by differences in student performance for each indicator of critical thinking skills. Chemistry students show better performance on indicators of building basic skills compared to other critical thinking skills indicators. Meanwhile, the indicators on building strategies and tactics of chemistry education students still showed  poor performance than other indicators. This needs to be improved immediately in order to prepare prospective chemistry teachers who are ready to compete in facing the industrial revolition 4.0. Improvements can be made by designing learning methods, teaching materials and evaluation tools that can improve students' critical thinking skills.Keywords: critical thinking skill, education 4.0., prospective chemistry teachers, revolutioanl industry 4.0ABSTRAK.Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi dan mendeskripsikan profil keterampilan berpikir kritis calon guru kimia sebagai kesiapan dalam menghadapi revolusi industri 4.0.

The importance of developing and assessing student critical thinking at university can be seen through its inclusion as a graduate attribute for universities and from research highlighting the value employers, educators and students place on demonstrating critical thinking skills. Critical thinking skills are seldom explicitly assessed at universities. Commercial critical thinking assessments, which are often generic in context, are available. However, literature suggests that assessments that use a context relevant to the students more accurately reflect their critical thinking skills. This paper describes the development and evaluation of a chemistry critical thinking test (the Danczak–Overton–Thompson Chemistry Critical Thinking Test or DOT test), set in a chemistry context, and designed to be administered to undergraduate chemistry students at any level of study. Development and evaluation occurred over three versions of the DOT test through a variety of quantitative and qualitative reliability and validity testing phases. The studies suggest that the final version of the DOT test has good internal reliability, strong test–retest reliability, moderate convergent validity relative to a commercially available test and is independent of previous academic achievement and university of study. Criterion validity testing revealed that third year students performed statistically significantly better on the DOT test relative to first year students, and postgraduates and academics performed statistically significantly better than third year students. The statistical and qualitative analysis indicates that the DOT test is a suitable instrument for the chemistry education community to use to measure the development of undergraduate chemistry students’ critical thinking skills.

Systems thinking has been an educational priority for more than a decade, yet its related assessment and teaching strategies have been understudied in the chemistry education research community. Through the lens of systems thinking, this study explores how undergraduate students connect and translate their conceptual representations when they are involved in contextualised problem-solving. The ‘Contextualised Problem Solving’ (CPS) assessment instrument contains four open-ended questions about gas law. Three different cohorts of students registered in a physical science course (2016 Fall, 2017 Spring, 2017 Fall semesters) participated in the problem-solving component of CPS. The results showed that only 8% of students were capable of higher order systems thinking ability when they engaged in problem solving. Over half of the students failed to retrieve essential concepts in problem situations. Most of the participants demonstrated difficulties in organising related systems’ components, understanding the cyclic nature of relationships among systems, and identifying limitations in a specific problem context. By identifying the difficulties and challenges of systems thinking experienced by undergraduate students in solving complex chemistry problems, these findings have the potential to provide fresh insights into effective teaching strategies to promote students’ higher order thinking skills.

Evaluative Thinking

The capacity to successfully, positively engage with the cognitive capacities of critical thinking has become the benchmark of employability for many diverse industries across the globe and is considered critical for the development of informed, decisive global citizenship. Despite this, education systems in several countries have developed policies and practices that limit the opportunities for students to authentically participate in the discussions, debates, and evaluative thinking that serve to develop the skill set and mindset of critical thinkers. This writing examines the status of critical thinking in four different contexts across the globe as reflected in educational policies and academic experiences as a preface to investigating actual classroom practices and possible impacts the support of critical thinking skills may have on the potential development of the global citizens of the future. Each vignette reflects the contextualized difficulties that are presented by social and cultural concerns and traditions of making meaning. These stories of education also illustrate the various ways in which the skills and capacities of critical thinking are interpreted in different contexts and address the negative nuances with which thinking critically has become associated. Finally, a pedagogical model of teaching, which may support student development of the skill set of critical thinking within the boundaries of social and cultural mindsets, has been developed.

In this qualitative study, we aim to identify suitable pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning green chemistry among college students and preservice teachers by examining the teaching methods that have been used to promote green chemistry education (GCE) and how these methods have supported green chemistry learning (GCL). We found 45 articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals since 2000 that specifically described teaching methods for GCE. The content of the articles was analyzed based on the categories of the teaching methods used and the revised version of Bloom’s taxonomy. Among the selected articles, collaborative and interdisciplinary learning, and problem-based learning were utilized in 38 and 35 articles, respectively. These were the most frequently used teaching methods, alongside a general combination of multiple teaching methods and teacher presentations. Developing collaborative and interdisciplinary learning skills, techniques for increasing environmental awareness, problem-centered learning skills, and systems thinking skills featuring the teaching methods were seen to promote GCL in 44, 40, 34, and 29 articles, respectively. The results showed that the integration of green chemistry teaching (GCT), e.g., with sustainable education, promoted GCL by fostering environmental consciousness and behavioral change and cognitive processes in a sustainable direction.

AbstractMany studies reported that reading can improve academic achievements, critical thinking skills, confidence, social behavior, and all characters required by students to get a better job and better life. In the Disruption Era, however, many students are potentially disrupted by social media interactions that affected their reading habits. The present study was aimed to explore the reading habits of students in the printed textbook. The study was carried out in 2019, involving 469 students from three study programs of the Department of Mathematics and Science Education, i.e. Biology Education, Chemistry Education, and Physics Education. Data were collected using questionnaires in a convenience sampling method with a sample of about 70% of the population. Results show that 81% of students read printed textbooks two hours or less per day, and 53% spend less than one hour. There are a few students, however, who read textbooks more than four hours per day. Students' visit to the library is mostly (35%) 3-4 times per year and >5 times per year (33%). Reading for leisure is not very popular among the students. Multiple regression models showed that students' science textbooks, students' interest in information technology books, the number of literature read, and the number of bought-books significantly determine the duration of students' reading time. Potential methods to improve students' reading habits are discussed.AbstrakBanyak penelitian sudah melaporkan bahwa membaca dapat meningkatkan kemampuan akademis, ketrampilan berfikir kritis, perilaku sosial, dan semua karakter yang diperlukan mehasiswa untuk memperoleh pekerjaan yang bagus dan kehidupan yang lebih baik. Pada Era Disrupsi sekarang ini, banyak mahasiswa yang berpotensi terganggu oleh media interaksi sosial yang dapat mengganggu kebiasaan membaca mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi kebiasaan membaca buku teks cetakan pada mahasiswa. Penelitian dilakukan pada tahun 2019, yang melibatkan 469 mahasiswa sebagai sampel dari tiga program studi di Jurusan Pendidikan Matematika dan IPA, yaitu Pendidikan Biologi, Pendidikan Kimia, dan Pendidikan Fisika. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui kuesioner dengan metode convinience sampling, dengan jumlah sampel sekitar 70% dari populasi. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa 81% mahasiswa membaca buku cetakan dua jam atau kurang per hari, dan 53% membaca kurang dari satu jam per hari. Sebagian kecil mahasiswa mengaku membaca buku cetakan lebih dari empat jam per hari. Kunjungan mahasiswa ke perpustakaan umumnya 3-4 kali per semester (35%) dan >5 kali per semester (33%). Kegiatan membaca untuk hiburan tidak populer pada mahasiswa. Model regresi berganda menunjukkan bahwa minat mahasiswa terhadap buku sains, minat mahasiswa terhadap buku teknologi informasi, jumlah buku sastra yang dibaca, dan jumlah buku yang dibeli mahasiswa, merupakan empat variabel yang dapat memprediksi lama waktu membaca mahasiswa. Cara-cara yang potensial untuk meningkatkan kebiasaan membaca mahasiswa didiskusikan.

"Men sana in corpore sano", strong soul stays within a healthy body. This slogan is firmly attached inside the mindset of the parents who constantly strive to run a healthy lifestyle by eating healthy foods. But now, in the era of modern and fast-paced, food technology developments offer a great selection of processed food products that are attractive and fast to the public without considering the nutrients needed by the human body. In fact, the number of food product advertisement serve the interesting and am-biguous packaging information which impact on consumption patterns that are not based on awareness of eating. Awareness of eating can be formed by the knowledge of the characteristics of all types of daily food. Food chemistry education is one of the right ways to complement public knowledge about the characteristics of all types of daily food, especially about the best nutrients of food needed to maintain his physical and mental health. Finally, when the awareness of healthy foods eating that has been formed and embedded in society as a whole, then it would have a positive impact on the development of a healthy and strong Nation.Keywords : food chemistry education, awareness of eating
