The present study explored the impact of online Digital Storytelling (DTS) on developing critical reading skills, critical thinking and self-regulated learning skills of prospective teachers of Arabic. To reach such ends, a standardized pre-posttest in critical reading skills, critical thinking skills scale and self-rating scale of self-regulated learning questionnaire were used. The quasi-experimental research design has been used in the current research. The results of two independent sample t-test revealed that the critical reading skills, critical thinking skills, and self-regulated skills improved significantly in comparison to the control group. It is, therefore, recommended that blended learning should be thought of as a good match for students from communities with poor digital literacy and technology infrastructure. In addition, online learning should be used with care to cope with community needs to fill a real gap in-field practice in language learning to improve multiliteracy skills.   Keywords: digital storytelling, critical reading skills; critical thinking skills; self-regulated learning skills; prospective teachers of Arabic

General Importance

. Critical thinking skills are one of the key requirements for a modern specialist in the professional world nowadays. Applying critical thinking while reading texts must become the essential approach to dealing with information. This study focuses on an exploratory investigation of the students’ attitude to critical reading tasks at the English classes. The present survey aims at exploring low-intermediate students’ attitude to critical reading assignments used at the English classes. The main tasks are the following: 1) to carry out a survey on students’ attitude towards critical reading and critical reading instruction at university; 2) to test the students’ critical reading skills; 3) to interview the students on their assessment of the reading tasks to identify the habits of mind available to develop their critical reading skills. The data were collected from the students’ questionnaire, the critical reading test and the students’ interviews. The findings support the results of the foreign researchers’ surveys about the lack of curiosity, relevant habits of mind and the majority of textbooks containing factual tasks which hinder the development of the readers’ critical attitude to information. Although the students admitted the general importance of critical reading, they did not seem to understand the essence of these skills and showed indifference to critical reading tasks during the second and third stages of the experiment. Thus, the prospects of the further research aim at designing and implementation of a reading English texts program for university low-intermediate students which could involve more critical reading assignments to promote critical habits of mind.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji  (1) pengaruh pembelajaran menggunakan Google Meet dengan Geogebra online berbasis scaffolding terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa; (2) pengaruh tingkat Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) pada kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa; dan (3) pengaruh interaksi antara jenis pembelajaran dan tingkat SRL terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah quasi-experiment. Sampel penelitian adalah mahasiswa pendidikan matematika yang dipilih menggunakan teknik cluster random sampling. Kelompok eksperimen (n = 23) diberi pembelajaran menggunakan Google Meet dengan Geogebra online berbasis scaffolding, sedangkan kelompok kontrol (n = 23) diberi pembelajaran menggunakan Google Meet tanpa bantuan Geogebra online. Pengumpulan data menggunakan tes kemampuan berpikir kritis dan angket SRL. Teknik analisis data menggunakan ANOVA dua jalan pada taraf signifikansi 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) kemampuan berpikir kritis kelompok yang diberi pembelajaran menggunakan Google Meet dengan Geogebra online berbasis scaffolding lebih baik dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol; (2) terdapat perbedaan signifikan kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa ditinjau dari tingkat SRL, dimana mahasiswa dengan SRL tinggi memiliki kemampuan berpikir kritis yang lebih baik daripada mahasiswa dengan SRL sedang dan rendah, serta mahasiswa dengan SRL sedang memiliki kemampuan berpikir kritis yang lebih baik daripda mahasiswa dengan SRL rendah; dan (3) tidak terdapat pengaruh interaksi antara jenis pembelajaran dan tingkat SRL terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa. The effect of geogebra online based on scaffolding and the level of self-regulated learning on critical thinking skillsAbstractThis study aimed to examine (1) the effect of learning using Google Meet with Geogebra online based on scaffolding on students’ critical thinking skills; (2) the effect of the level of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) on students’ critical thinking skills; and (3) the effect of the interaction between the type of learning and the SRL level on students’ critical thinking skills. The research design used was a quasi-experiment. The research sample was mathematics education students who were selected using the cluster random sampling technique. The experimental group (n = 23) was given learning using Google Meet with Geogebra online based on scaffolding, while the control group (n = 23) was given learning using Google Meet without the assistance of Geogebra online. Data collection used a critical thinking skills test and an SRL questionnaire. The data analysis technique used two-way ANOVA at a significance level of 5%. The results showed that (1) the critical thinking ability of the group given learning using Google Meet with Geogebra online based on scaffolding was better than the control group; (2) there was a significant difference in students’ critical thinking skills in terms of SRL level, where students with high SRL had better critical thinking skills than students with moderate and low SRL, and students with moderate SRL had better critical thinking skills than students with low SRL; and (3) there was no effect of the interaction between the type of learning and the SRL level on students’ critical thinking skills.

Critical thinking is widely recognized as important in Japanese education including English teaching, as is stipulated, for instance, in MEXT’s Course of Study. However, there is no clear indication that students are successfully learning this generic higher-order thinking skill in secondary- or tertiary-level education. One way to enhance critical thinking is Level 3 reading instruction. This paper shows how Level 3, or evaluative, reading instruction in EFL classrooms can foster learners’ critical reading and by extension critical thinking skills. The other two levels of reading are factual (Level 1) and interpretive/inferential (Level 2). By comparing two different versions of an interpretation of the same text, one using Level 2 reading and the other using Level 3 reading, the authors demonstrate the crucial importance of Level 3 evaluative reading for the development of learners’ critical reading skills. 日本の教育における批判的思考力の重要性は，文科省の学習指導要領の規定にみられるように，広く認められている。しかし，この汎用的高次思考力が高等教育や大学教育において十分に習得されているようには思われない。批判的思考力を伸ばす一つの方法がレベル3の読みである。本稿は，英語の授業においてレベル3の読み，すなわち評価読みの指導が学習者の批判的読みを，ひいては批判的思考力を伸ばす可能性について論じる。他の二つの読みは，レベル１の事実読みとレベル2の解釈・推論読みである。同一テキストをレベル2とレベル3の2つの読みで解釈し，両者の違いを比較することで，レベル３の読みが学習者の批判的読みの技能の伸長にいかに重要であるかを論証する。

This research is a quantitative research that aims to (1) examine the differences of students 'mathematical critical thinking ability in terms of  self regulated learning which gain learning with metacognitive approach and students who only get ordinary learning (2) examine the influence of self regulated learning on students' mathematical critical thinking ability and (3) to describe students' mathematical critical thinking skills in terms of self regulated learning. Subjects in this research were students of class XI in MAN 1 Cimahi with the subject amounted to 64 students consisting of the control class and experimental class. Subjects were divided into three groups based on self-regulated learning level,  specifically high level, medium level, and low level. Based on the results of the research, it’s found that (1) the ability of mathematical critical thinking in the experimental class is better than the mathematical critical thinking ability of the control class (2) the students' self-regulated learning of the experimental group positively influences the critical thinking skills of mathematics (3) The students of high level already able the indicators of critical thinking ability. The students of medium level are still experiencing errors in the algorithm resulting in incorrect results and conclusions. The Students of low level have not been able to meet the indicators of critical mathematical thinking ability.
