Thematic learning with the main content of science is not learning that only memorizes concepts. However, there needs to be learning where students experience and find out for themselves. The learning in question is practicum-based. This research aims to examine the effect of developing a practical guidebook on students' interests and critical thinking skills. The research method used is the type of research and development or R&D with a 4D procedural model. The sample in this study was 137 students in class IV, with a sampling technique of purposive sampling. Researchers used a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The questionnaire used consisted of a student interest questionnaire and critical thinking. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and regression tests. Descriptive statistics are used to analyze data by describing or describing the data that has been collected. The results of this study are that students' interest in learning and students' critical thinking skills are categorized as good. The results of the regression test revealed that the implementation of the thematic practicum guidebook theme 2 affected students' interest and critical thinking skills. The implications of the research & development of the thematic practicum guidebook theme 2 in class IV learning are practical guide material. Therefore, it is essential to use a practicum manual in the learning process by both teachers and students to increase and develop students' interests and critical thinking skills.

Critical thinking skills are important to practice early on in elementary school. It is believed that STEM based education could  trigger the students to more critical. Individuals who have critical thinking skills will be able to communicate well. Many research results show that critical thinking skills can be stimulated by applying project-based learning in class. This research aims to describe critical thinking skills based on communication skills by using STEM-based Project-Based Learning. The research is a mixed-methods study. The population of this research consisted of fifth graders of Public Primary School 3 Pakis. The research instruments used were critical thinking skills tests, communication skills questionnaires and interview guidelines. The quantitative data was selected by purposive sampling technique. The qualitative data was based on the communication skills levels: high, moderate, and low. Based on the triangulation data it shows that students with high critical thinking skills reached the aspect of analyzing arguments; the moderate level could achieved simple aspects of explanation; while the lower level critical thinker only reaches the aspect of focusing questions. The STEM approach applied in project-based learning is able to encourage students to be able to communicate verbally and improve their critical thinking skills in solving problems.

The broad scope of biology and the many sources of biology reading requires eleven grade students to think critically about sorting out information to develop and support students' critical thinking skills. CirGi is an integration of the cooperative integrated reading and composition (CIRC) learning model and guided inquiry (GI) that emphasizes reading and writing activities, accompanied by guidance from the teacher. This study aimed to analyze the influence of CirGi's learning model on students' critical thinking skills. This research uses a quasi-experiment method with pre-post control group design. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, namely 104 high school students. Data collection was carried out using instruments of critical thinking skills in the form of essays, questionnaire responses of students to learning, and observation sheets of syntax implementation. The data analysis technique used was one-way ANCOVA. After controlling for the pretest scores, the CirGi learning model's influence on students' critical thinking skills was influenced. This learning model was appropriate for learning biology, so it can regrow the activities of reading science books that impact students' critical thinking skills.
