In the relevant literature, it is often debated whether learning programming requires high-level thinking skills, the lack of which consequently results in the failure of students in programming. The complex nature of programming and individual differences, including study approaches, thinking styles, and the focus of supervision, all have an effect on students’ achievement in programming. How students learn programming and the relationships between their study approaches and their achievement in programming have not yet been adequately illuminated. In this regard, the present study aims to investigate the effect of the study approach used on students’ attitudes toward programming and on their academic achievement within an online problem-based learning environment. In this study, a single-factor, pretest posttest single group and semiempirical method was utilized. The study was conducted on 41 students from a public university in Turkey. To implement problem-based learning activities, a teaching environment was created with the Moodle platform, allowing for group work and discussions. Seven status of the problems were prepared exclusively for the 12-week application period so that students could make suggestions about how to solve them. In the data collection phase, the Study Approach Scale, the Attitude Towards Programming Scale, and the Academic Achievement Test were employed. T-test and covariance analyses were carried out in the statistical analysis phase. According to the findings of the present study, students adopting the “deep” study approach were more successful than the students adopting a “superficial” approach. Moreover, it was determined that the problem-based learning application had a positive effect on students’ attitudes toward programming and that the study approach did not significantly affect the students’ attitude toward programming.

Education in Indonesia is currently undergoing a significant improvement. Particularly in welcoming the revolution era of the 4.0, which is required learning model with high level-thingking  or commonly known as HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills). In addition to thinking critically and creatively, problem solving is also included as thinking characters in high-level skills. Solving problems in the learning process trains learners to resolve problems in real life. In fact, not all teachers can simply apply it. Therefore, HOTS learning using the problem based learning model requires strategy for more effective and efficient study.  The research methods used in this study are qualitative descriptive, data collection techniques used by conducting observations, interviews in-depth and document research. The key informant in the study was a class III teacher at SDN Lengkong Bojonegoro, while the informant was a class III student. The data obtained is analyzed using interactive models (data collection, data presentation , reduction, drawing conclusions). The results of this study show that the teacher's strategy in implementing HOTS learning is a good problem based learning model. Visible from the indicators used through deep interview to the key informant and the informant. The obstacles experienced are differences in understanding, characteristics, learning style of students when learning, teachers are required to always be creative and innovative packing learning and the limitations of school facilities and infrastructure.

The South African Qualification Authority Act (58/1995) requires that the facilitators of the education and training programme for nursing students implement teaching strategies that facilitate critical reflective thinking and lifelong learning. This article seeks to report fourth-year nursing students' experiences regarding the use of a case study approach as a learning opportunity. Much has been documented about the case study as an effective strategy to facilitate learning.A purposive convenience sampling method was used to select 24 nursing students in a South African university. Descriptive naïve sketches were used to collect data. The results were analysed using the content data analysis method (Burns & Grove 2003). Measures to ensure the trustworthiness of the study were taken in accordance with Lincoln and Guba's (1985) principles. Ethical standards for research were observed in order to maintain the integrity of the research.The research findings suggest that the case study as a learning opportunity is effective in facilitating learning, as indicated by the following three categories: increase in critical thinking skills, increased theory and practice integration and increased growth in presentation skills. These categories were conceptualised using the relevant literature in order to describe research-based recommendations regarding the use of a case study approach as a learning opportunity. It is recommended that facilitators involved in the nursing education programme make use of a case study approach as a learning opportunity at all levels of the nursing education programme.OpsommingDie Suid Afrikaanse Qualification Authority Act (58/1995) vereis dat die fasiliteerders van die onderrig en opleiding program vir verpleegkunde studente onderrig strategië implimenteer wat kritiese reflektiewe denke en lewenslange leer fasiliteer. Die dokument poog om 4de jaar verpleegkunde studente se leerervaring in verband met gevalle-studie benadering te rapporteer. Baie is al gedokumenteer oor die kern van die gevalle-studie as ’n effektiewe strategie om leer te fasiliteer.Die doelgerigte gerieflikheids monster metode was gebruik om 24 verpleegkunde studente in ’n Suid Afrikaanse universiteit te kies. Deskriptiewe, naïve sketse was gebruik om inligting te versamel. Resultate was ge-analiseer deur middel van die inhoud data analiese metode (Burns & Grove 2003). Mates om die vertrouens-waardigheid van die studie te verseker was gevolg volgens Lincoln en Guba (1985) se beginsels. Etiese standaarde vir navorsing was waargeneem om die integriteit van die navorsing te verseker.Navorsings bevindinge dui daarop dat die gevalle-studie as leer geleentheid effektief was in die fasilitering van leer, soos aangedui deur die volgende drie kategorië: vermeerdering van kritiese denke vaardighede; vermeerderde teorie en praktyk integrasie en vermeerderde groei in aanbiedings vaardighede. Hierdie kategorië was gekonseptualiseer deur die gebruik van toepaslike literatuur sodat navorsings-gebaseerde aanbevelinge in verband met gevalle-studie benadering as leer geleentheid beskryf kon word. Dit word aanbeveel dat fasiliteerders betrokke by die verpleeg onderrig program gebruik maak van gevalle-studie benadering op alle vlakke van die verpleeg program.

Abstrak:Social Studies Educationsangat penting dalam segala aspek kehidupan, karena itu perlu dipelajari agar semua insan Indonesia. Pendidikan  Social Studies Educationyang bertanggungjawab atas pengembangan keterampilan berpikir peserta didik perlu ditingkatkan kualitasnya, melalui pengembangan berpikir tingkat tinggi peserta didik.  Problem-based learning  (PBL) merupakan pembelajaran yang inovatif, kreatifdan produktif, karena dapat meningkatkan kemampuan siswa untuk memecahkan masalah dalam kehidupan yang makin kompleks di abad ke-21 ini. Tahap-tahap  dalam PBL membimbing siswa untuk melakukan  self-directed learning,sehingga dapat membentuk kemandirian. Dalam pemecahan masalah melalui PBL juga dituntut pengembangan kemampuan lintas bidang studidan kolaborasi dalam membangun pengetahuan. Di samping itu siswa juga dilatih untuk memilah dan memilih informasi yang sesuai, melakukan prediksi dan evaluasi terhadap jawaban permasalahan, yang membentuk kreativitasnya. Dengan PBL waktu belajar juga dapat digunakan secara lebih efektif, yang melalui penggunaan ICT sebagai sumber informasi, maupun ajang komunikasi lintas batas dan lintas waktu. PBL yang  mengakomodasi penggunaan ICT dapat menjawab masalah kekurangan waktu belajar, keterbatasan luasdan jumlah kelas di sekolah, maupun kurangnya jumlah guru khususnya di daerah terpencil. Implementasi pembelajaran yang berbasis ICT dapat memberikan kontribusi positif dalam inovasi pembelajaran.Abstract: Social Studies Educations are very important in all aspects of life, because it needs to be learned for all Indonesians. Education Social Studies Education responsible for the development of students' thinking skills needs to be improved in quality, through the development of high-level thinking of learners. Problem-based learning (PBL) is an innovative, creative and productive learning, because it can improve students' ability to solve problems in an increasingly complex life in the 21st century. Stages in PBL guide students to self-directed learning, so as to establish independence. In solving problems through PBL is also required the development of cross-disciplinary skills and collaboration in building knowledge. In addition, students are also trained to sort and select appropriate information, to make predictions and evaluate the answers to problems, which shape their creativity. With PBL the learning time can also be used more effectively, through the use of ICT as a source of information, as well as cross-border and cross-time communication arena. PBLs that accommodate the use of ICT can address the problem of shortage of study time, wide limitations and number of classes in schools, as well as the lack of teachers in remote areas. Implementation of ICT-based learning can provide a positive contribution in learning innovation.

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> Thematic learning carried out in elementary schools has not trained students' high-level thinking skills as a whole due to the use of learning models that tend to be monotonous and make students bored. This study aims to determine the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model on HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skillls). The research method used is quantitative experiments with the design of nonequivalent group design. The results showed that the teacher's implementation was sufficient in accordance with the syntax of the PBL learning model so that it could influence HOTS students. The difference in HOTS scores between the two classes is indicated by the average post-test scores. The use of PBL models should be implemented for students to be able to train HOTS students.</p><strong>Abstrak:</strong><em> </em>Pembelajaran tematik yang dilaksanakan di SD belum melatihkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi siswa secara keseluruhan dikarenakan penggunaan model pembelajaran yang cenderung monoton dan membuat siswa jenuh.

Abstract: The reality of social studies learning empirically only focuses on theoretical and learning material only so that it becomes uninteresting and boring learning. Social studies learning is also less noticed because of memorization so it does not seem to develop students' critical thinking skills. Learning that tends to be teacher-oriented makes students have a high level of dependence on the teacher and makes the teacher a source of information in learning. In order for social learning to be effective and efficient, this must be done by teachers who have competencies and qualifications that are appropriate to their fields. Teachers must also have the ability to choose and use relevant and appropriate learning strategies so that they can improve their learning outcomes. But sometimes many teachers have not maximally used the appropriate learning strategies in their learning, so the low social studies learning outcomes of students. This study aims to determine social studies learning outcomes through problem-based learning, interpersonal intelligence, and initial abilities. This research was conducted at Subang 1 Junior High School 1 using a quantitative approach and carried out from January to March 2016. Data was collected using questionnaires and learning outcomes tests which were then processed and analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. The results of the study show in general that the use of problem-based learning strategies can improve social studies learning outcomes. This study provides a number of suggestions including the need to use appropriate learning strategies to improve social studies learning outcomes. Keywords: social studies learning outcome, problem based learning, interpersonal intelligence, and initial abilities.

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between critical thinking skills and academic achievement in Biology through the implementation of problem-based learning-predict observe explain (PBLPOE) learning model. The study was conducted from February to June 2018 in the even academic year of 2017/2018. A correlational design was employed in this study. The participants consisted of tenth graders from Public Senior High School (SMAN) Number 5 in Bengkulu, Indonesia. The students’ critical thinking skills and academic achievement were measured using essay tests. The result of the regression analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between students’ critical thinking skills and academic achievement in biology, where Y=7.383 + 0.500x. The regression equation suggests that students’ academic achievement may improve as the students’ critical thinking increases. Therefore, it is advisable for the educator to promote critical thinking skills in the classroom in order to improve students’ academic achievement by, for example, implementing PBLPOE learning model.

Mathematics low achievement has undeniably been found in both national examinations and international assessments. An educator needs to be aware and determine the factors in students’ achievement. However, there were no observable studies focusing on the mediating effect of students' attitudes toward career aspiration and academic achievement. With this, it aims to determine the mediating effect of students’ attitudes on students’ career aspirations and academic achievement in learning Mathematics in a higher educational institution in the Davao Region.  The researcher utilized sets of adopted and self-made test questionnaires to gather data from the 199 respondents.  In analyzing the data, the researcher performed descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, and Regression Analysis as statistical tools. These analyses indicated that students have a high level of career aspiration, a satisfactory level of academic achievement, an average level of attitude towards mathematics, and an insignificant relationship between students’ career aspirations and academic achievement. The relationship between the student’s attitude and career aspiration is significant. The latter is the only relationship that is significant among all steps, and thus full and partial mediation analysis will not be warranted. Based on the findings, the students must be responsible for helping themselves to make an efficient move in developing their aspiration to have a considerable positive attitude in learning mathematics.
