Abstract Geometry is a branch of mathematics that is taught in school, from elementary school, high school and college. Student Mathematics Education Kuningan University in the course Geometry 3D which gained less than satisfactory achievements in the course of the geometry 3D. The ability visual thinking and spatial thinking affect learners' achievements in learning the geometry. Authors interested in diagnosing the difficulties Student Mathematics Education of Kuningan University in the course Geometry 3D through Ability Test of Visual-Spatial Thinking. The purpose of this study is to diagnose visual-spatial thinking abilities Student of Kuningan University and describe efforts to improve student results in the course of the geometry 3D. Based on the exposure of the work about the ability of visual-spatial thinking and discussion it can be concluded that: a) The ability of visual-spatial thinking mathematics education student Kuningan University is still low, especially students who are capable of moderate and low. Students are still experiencing difficulties in resolving problems related to the concept of a perpendicular line and projections; distance of points, lines and areas; as well as the angle between the line and the field; b) The ability of visual-spatial thinking is a skill that must be developed in studying the geometry 3D, one of the low result of learning the geometry 3D is due to the ability of visual-spatial thinking is still low; c) One effort to improve visual-spatial thinking ability of students is learning the geometry of space through problem-based learning with assisted software GeoGebra.Keywords: Visual-Spatial Thinking Ability, Geometri 3D

Esse artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa em rede que teve como objetivo identificar em que medida os cursos de graduação em Geografia de cinco Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) brasileiras contribuem para a proficiência do pensamento espacial dos seus estudantes. Essa investigação se estabeleceu a partir de aplicações do instrumento denominado Teste de Aptidão do Pensamento Espacial (Spatial Thinking Ability Test - STAT, em inglês), elaborado por Lee e Berdnaz (2012), para graduandos iniciantes e finalizantes do curso de Geografia, preferencialmente, licenciandos. A aplicação focada nesses dois grupos, destinou-se a identificação de conhecimentos referentes ao pensamento espacial ao longo da formação de futuros geógrafos. Como resultado, a análise global dos dados indica uma diferença de performance bastante modesta entre alunos do primeiro e do quarto ano da graduação em Geografia e um desempenho inferior ao esperado em termos de percentuais de acertos dos dois grupos em competências avaliadas através de situações-problema que entendemos como mais fáceis. Todo esse esforço investigativo assentou-se no reconhecimento de que o pensamento espacial é uma das condições intelectuais fundamentais para que, posteriormente, os alunos venham produzir a interpretação geográfica de situações problematizadas.

This investigation was established through applications of the instrument named Spatial Thinking Ability Test (STAT), elaborated by Lee and Bednarz (2012), for beginners and final-year undergraduate students of the Geography course, preferably, undergraduates. The application focused on these two groups, and was intended to identify knowledge regarding to spatial thinking throughout the training of future geographers. As a result, the global analysis of the data indicates a very modest difference in performance between first and fourth-year undergraduate students in Geography and a lower than expected performance in terms of the percentage of correct answers of both two groups in competences assessed through problem-situations that we understand to be easier. All this investigative effort was based on the recognition that spatial thinking is one of the most fundamental intellectual conditions for, subsequently, students become to produce the geographical interpretation of problematic situations.

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. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif. Subjek penelitian merupakan mahasiswa pendidikan kimia yang merupakan calon guru kimia. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah tes keterampilan berpikir kritis dan kuisioner keterampilan berpikir kritis.

Learning activities that utilize digital technology for online learning are an alternative during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of electronic comic media based on problem-based learning integrated with Islamic values to improve students' creative thinking skills. This study uses a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE model. The subjects in the study were 90 students of class VIII. Data collection techniques using research instruments with quantitative data analysis. The data collection instrument was by giving essay questions in the form of a creative thinking ability test. The study of creative thinking skills by calculating the N-gain and the significance test was carried out using an average difference test through a t-test with the help of SPSS. The results showed that the value of significance (2 tailed) from the two schools, namely 0.00 < 0.05, then H0 is rejected, and Ha is accepted, so it can be concluded that there is a difference in the average creative thinking ability of the pretest and posttest both at SMP N 3 Watumalang and at SMP IT Permata Hati, which means that there is an effect of using E-Comic media in improving students' creative thinking skills
