The media will likely be a major source of science information after college for nonscience majors. It is thus essential that all students learn to critically read newspaper/Internet science. I have adapted the CREATE approach, an active-learning method originally designed for close reading of journal articles (Hoskins et al., 2007), for use with a newspaper article written for the general public. The analysis challenges students to read closely, learn to represent data and design experiments, and think creatively about scientific issues and their social implications. The approaches outlined here can be adapted to any scientific reading and analysis.

Learning with conventional models with lecture methods is still widely practiced by the instructors, it cannot be said to be successful, the media used are less attractive, still use whiteboards and markers so students are less motivated, so that improvements are needed in accordance with the times. Active Learning method, can be used in changing the conventional way of learning. This method can have an effect on increasing the motivation and creativity, in order to be able to change the behavior of the face the globalization era that occurred along the progress of science and the development of technological information. Based on problems occurred, the researchers are interested in research the influence of active learning to increased motivation and creativity learning learners. Research methods qualitative, descriptive, namely through observation, using approach to data librarianship sourced from books and scientific material that is obtained at one of the Internet. Research results can become a reference in the learning process by either the teacher or learners, because it has given clarity how active learning influences the motivation and creativity of learners in the globalization era.

The current educational system upholds principles and practices that covertly support institutionalized oppression while affirming and legitimizing privilege and entitlement for students, teachers, and administrators who emulate the cultural capital of the dominant Western culture. This systematic literature review, explored ways in which Black leaders have enacted social justice education in Ontario elementary schools from 1970 to 2017. I have searched six academic databases, peer reviewed journals, the media, academic and professional articles and used close reading and textual analysis to critique Social Justice Leadership discourses. Barriers still exist to Black students’ progress. More research is needed for meaningful social change

More specifically, it attempted to determine and compare the attitude toward mathematics of students’ exposure to active learning and traditional teaching strategy. The Likert scale used to evaluate the attitude of students toward mathematics. Mean, Cronbach  value, T-test were the statistical tools used in anatomizing and interpreting the research data. The discovering showed that the students in the active learning group had auspicious attitude than students in the conventional teaching group. According to the findings after research, we saw the direct relation between attitude and active learning.
