Every year in the U.S., 40,000 jobs for information security analysts go unfilled, and employers are struggling to fill 200,000 other cybersecurity related roles. Colleges and universities have created certificates, undergraduate, and graduate programs to train professionals in these job roles. This issue becomes more complicated when you explore the that competent workers in this field need more than just book knowledge to be effective. Engaged and experiential learning approaches encourages experimentation and expanding teaching cybersecurity beyond the use of just classroom lectures, textbooks, and PowerPoint slides. The use of experiential and scenario-based learning approaches helps students to develop real-world problem solving and critical thinking skills that demonstrate expertise beyond course grades and degrees. Developing the ability to strategic and adaptive is vital to be effective. This case study research intends not to reconstitute theory but to influence the practice of cybersecurity education through the use of innovative applied and engaged learning approaches.

Engaged and experiential learning approaches encourage experimentation and expand teaching entrepreneurial leadership beyond just classroom lectures, textbooks, and PowerPoint slides. The use of experiential and scenario-based learning approaches helps students develop real-world problem solving and critical thinking leadership skills that demonstrate competencies and abilities beyond course grades and transcripts. Entrepreneurial leadership is the ability to think strategically, adapt to changing competitive forces, identify threats to longevity, and exploit business opportunities in a hyper-competitive and volatile entrepreneurial business environment. This case study research approach explores how leadership skills and abilities can be developed using real world embedded simulations that create beneficial relationships that help business owners, students, and the quality of graduate instruction.

The development of experiential learning methodologies is gaining attention, due to its contributions to enhancing education quality. It focuses on developing competencies, and build-up added values, such as creative and critical thinking skills, with the aim of improving the quality of learning. The interdisciplinary mechatronics field accommodates a coherent interactive concurrent design process that facilitates innovation and develops the desired skills by adopting experiential learning approaches. This educational learning process is motivated by implementation, assessment, and reflections. This requires synergizing cognition, perception, and behavior with experience sharing and evaluation. Furthermore, it is supported by knowledge accumulation. The learning process with active student’s engagement (participation and investigation) is integrated with experimental systems that are developed to facilitate experiential learning supported by properly designed lectures, laboratory experiments, and integrated with course projects. This paper aims to enhance education, learning quality, and contribute to the learning process, while stimulating creative and critical thinking skills. The paper has adopted a student-centered learning approach and focuses on developing training tools to improve the hands-on experience and integrate it with project-based learning. The developed experimental systems have their learning indicators where students acquire knowledge and learn the target skills through involvement in the process. This is inspired by collaborative knowledge sharing, brainstorming, and interactive discussions. The learning outcomes from lectures and laboratory experiments are synergized with the project-based learning approach to yield the desired promising results and exhibit the value of learning. The effectiveness of the developed experimental systems along with the adopted project-based learning approach is demonstrated and evaluated during laboratory sessions supporting different courses at Sanyo-Onoda City University, Yamaguchi, Japan, and at the American University in Cairo.

The result of this research reveals that critical thinking skills possessed by the students in the pesantren has been developed through several learning approaches implemented during learning process in the pesantren. Among the approaches are critical awareness on the study of classical books (bahtsul masâil), discussion and debate in which students and teachers are equal in presenting ideas (cooperative and collaborative strategies are also embedded in this approach), and problem solving approach in which contextual issues are posed and solved. While creating students to be critical, such approaches were found to preserve students’ moral attitude to the teachers that has been skeptically seen will be deminished. DOI: 10.15408/tjems.v1i2.1265

In the approach to learning, teachers must be able to create an active, creative, effective, and funlearing. One of the learning approaches that can be used to create this active, creative, effectiveand fun learning in a group is cooperative learning. Jigsaw was particularly selected from varioustypes of cooperative learning. It was because it is used by researchers in science education, andless popular in social science education. Jigsaw arouse students' attitudes to learning, including inthe History subject. Jigsaw that is one ofthe types of cooperative learning models that encouragesstudents to be active and help each others in mastering the subject matter to achieve maximumperformance. The aim of the study was to see the different models of cooperative learning onstudents' critical thinking skills in the History subject. The method used was by using the teststatistics with analysis using Excel for Windows. To determine whether there is any differences,tests of paired data (Student's t-test) were comducted. If there are no significant differencesbetween the dependent variable for the pre-test, it will be used followed by ANOVA in the posttest. The results showed that there is a difference between the type of cooperative learning modeljigsaw with traditional learning in the study on the critical thinking skills of students in the Historysubject.

This study aims to examine the effect of 5E learning approaches (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate) and SETS learning approaches (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society) assisted by social media applications on students' thinking skills. The design of this study was a quasi-experimental design of 58 Lamongan Islamic University students who were selected by purposive sampling technique. Data collection techniques using written tests in the form of pretest and posttest, data analysis using two-way ANOVA. The results of data analysis showed that there was a significant influence between groups of students who were taught with the 5E approach and the SETS approach to their critical thinking skills. This is based on the calculated F value of 17,547 with a significance value of 0,000. Based on the results of the descriptive analysis showed that the average value of students' critical thinking skills that were taught with the 5E approach was higher compared to the average score of students who were taught by the SETS approach. The average value of critical thinking ability of students who are given learning using the 5E approach is 73.11, while the average value of critical thinking ability of students who are given learning by the SETS approach is 61.90. The use of social media applications in these two approaches is very helpful to complete the experience learning becomes more concrete so it can help them in discussion, reading, and practice.

Historical learning has not reached optimal in the learning process. It is caused by the history teachers’ learning model has not used the innovative learning models. Furthermore, it supported by the perception of students to the history subject because it does not become final exam (UN) subject so it makes less improvement and builds less critical thinking in students’ daily learning. This is due to the lack of awareness of historical events and the availability of history books for students and teachers in the library are still lacking. Discovery learning with scientific approach encourages students to solve problems actively and able to improve students' critical thinking skills with scientific approach so student can build scientific thinking include observing, asking, reasoning, trying, and networking.
