Abstract The recent studies in science learning has a specific interest with 4C’s which are communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. This study explored the students’ 4C’s as they engage with physics concepts relating to alternating currents. This engagement entails students’ interpretation for descriptive questions. Following action research cycle, the study begin with planning the intervention using “ECRA” technique and conducted the activities with 38 Matriculation College students. The analysis attempt to make a connection between students’ ability to construct representational aspects of scientific description with formative achievement. This study systematically describes students’ understanding on the representations signify in the descriptive questions. Data collected from this study were Work Report, review of answers tutor questions, and interviews during observation stage. The finding suggests that, the ECRA technique is enabling students to obtain higher percentage in formative assessment by allowing them to developed richer conceptual understanding. Hence this study suggest that the representational issues in physics questions constructed in essay can be moderated with ECRA technique.

This research aims to determine (1) the influence of brain based learning (BBL) models on the understanding of physics concepts among high school students, (2) the influence of BBL models on physics critical thinking ability among high school students, and (3) the influence of BBL models on conceptual understanding and the critical thinking ability among high school students. This research is a quasi-experiment and uses non-equivalent control group design with pre-test and post-test design. The population were all students of class X MIPA of SMAN 1 Gerung in the academic year of 2018/2019. Samples were taken using purposive sampling technique. The experimental class is treated using the BBL model while the control class uses the expository learning model. The hypothesis used are the polled variance t-test and Manova test. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that (1) there are influences of BBL models on the understanding of physics concepts among high school students (2) there are influences of the BBL modesl on physics critical thinking ability among high school educators, and (3) there are influences of BBL  models on conceptual understanding and critical thinking ability in physics among high school student.

<pre><em>The purpose of this study was to improve the critical thinking skills of class V students in science learning with the Discovery Learning learning model. The research undertaken was a Classroom Action Research with 3 cycles, with each cycle consisting of one meeting. The stages of each cycle are planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. In cycle I students who have high critical thinking skills are 60%, in cycle II there is an increase to 85%, and in cycle III it increases to 90%. With a level of mastery learning 65% in cycle I, 80% in cycle II, and increased to 90% in cycle III. The final conclusion from the implementation of this classroom action research is that the use of discovery learning models can improve students' critical thinking skills in science learning human digestive organs in SD Negeri Ciwalen 03, Dayeuhluhur District, Cilacap Regency.</em></pre>

This research based on the important of the student’s critical thinking for general students. Critical thinking is very important in daily life. Because , students are required to have the ability to choose and sort the information that is good and true. This research to identify how far debate can effect student’s critical thinking. This research was classroom action research it consist of two cycle, each cycle consist of three meetings. The data had been taken from each cycle then the average is compared. If there is an enhance in this research it means the research is successful. But if there is no enhance in this research it means the research is failed. This research is conducted in Islamic University Of Assyafi’iyah, It was located in Jatiwaringin street. This research was involved the first Semester English Education Study Program was consist of 34 college students and they were as subjects of this research. This research was considered successful by researchers because there was a significant improvement from cycle one to cycle two, which 62,87 to 70,37. The results of this research help teachers to enhance students’ critical thinking through debate technique.

<em>Critical thinking skills are a necessary skill in the 21<sup>st</sup> century. However, students’s critical thinking skills at SD N Makamhaji 03 are still low. The purpose of this research is to improve critical thinking skills on science learning model of Predict, Observe, Explain (POE) in fifth grade students of State Primary School of Makamhaji 03 in the academic year 2017/2018. This research form is Classroom Action Research (CAR) and it was conducted in three cycles. Each cycle consists of four steps, they are planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subject is the fifth grade students of State Primary School of Makamhaji 03 in the academic year 2017/2018 consists of 21 students. The data collecting technique used are observation, interview, and document. The data validity used triangulation of resources and triangulation of technique. The data analysis technique was interactive analysis model consisting of the three components, there are data reduction, data display, and conclusion. The result of this classroom action research shows that students’ critical thinking skills on science learning can be improved by implementation of POE model. It can be seen from students’ classical mastery from pre-action to cycle III meeting II, and the result is 85%. The conclusion of this research revealed that through Predict, Observe, Explain (POE) model can improve the critical thinking skills in science throuhgt in the fifth grade students of State Primary School of Makamhaji 03 in the academic year 2017/2018.</em>

The background of this research is the low of science learning result of grade 6 students of SDN 004 TembilahanKota. The purpose of this study is to improve the learning outcomes of science students of grade VI SDN 004Tembilahan Kota with the application of contextual approach. This research was conducted in class VI SDN004 Tembilahan Kota. This research is a Classroom Action Research with two cycles. The subjects of thisresearch are the sixth grade students of SDN 004 Tembilahan Kota lesson year which consist of 30 people with16 men and 14 women. Based on the results of the research from the teacher activity sheets appear to increase ateach meeting. At the first meeting of cycle I 64.3%, the second meeting of cycle I was 67.86%. At the firstmeeting of cycle II 71,43%, and second meeting of cycle II 78,57%. While the student activity also increasesevery meeting. At the first meeting of cycle I 67,86%, second meeting of cycle I 71,43%. At the first meeting ofthe second cycle of 75%, and the second meeting II cycle 78.57%. The learning outcomes in the first cycleincreased by 12.8% from the base score of 67.83% to 76.5%. In the second cycle increased by 17.2% to 79.5%.

The purpose of this research is to improve learning outcomes of natural sciences subjects through theapplication of cooperative learning model type example non example in class V SDN 003 Beringin Teluk. Theform of this research is classroom action research, with 22 subjects consisting of 10 men and 12 women. Basedon the results of the research cycle I the percentage of teacher activity amounted to 54.1% with sufficientcategories and increased in the second meeting to 62.5% with good categories. In the second cycle of the firstmeeting the percentage of teacher activity was 70.8% in the good category and at the second meeting increasedto 83.3% in the very good category. student activity by 50% with less categories and at the second meetingincreased to 58.3% with enough categories. In the second cycle the first meeting the percentage of studentactivity was 75% in the good category and increased in the second meeting to 87.5% in the very good category.student learning outcomes in the basic score of the presentation was 40.9%, after repeated daily cycle Iincreased to 63.6% and again increased in cycle II to 86.3%. Departing from the results of this action it can beconcluded that the application of cooperative learning model type example non examples can improve thelearning outcomes of Natural Sciences class V SDN 003 Beringin Teluk.
