Prior to Namibia's independence in 1990, the role of the teacher in an educational environment has been defined as the transmission of information to students, and the teacher was regarded as the all-knowing person in the classroom, who slavishly followed the textbook in transmitting the subject matter to the students. In some cases, the teacher did not understand the subject matter that he/she transmitted to students. Therefore, there was no explanation of what was being taught. Students had to sit passively and listen to the teacher; learn by memorization (rote learning), and recall the transmitted information. This study explored perceptions of the role of teachers and students in learner-centered classrooms in a primary school in Namibia. Learner-centered teachers create learning environments that promote students' active engagement with learning and develop critical thinking skills.

This study aims to improve students' critical thinking skills in Civics in 5th grade students of SD Muhammadiyah Kauman, Yogyakarta using Problem Based Learning model. This research is a Classroom Action Research (PTK). The subjects of the study were 5th grade students of B1 SD Muhammadiyah Kauman. The object of research is the whole process and the results of learning Civics with the application of Problem Based Learning model. This research was conducted at SD Muhammadiyah Pakel Yogyakarta in April until May 2017. Data collection techniques used were observation, diary, interview and test. Data analysis technique is done descriptively qualitative. This research was conducted in 2 cycles by applying problem based learning model. The learning steps that were implemented were changes in the delivery of the subject matter, the students analyzed the problem, the formation of the discussion group with the grouping of students based on their achievement, the students in group for discussion, the group members delivered the discussion result in front of the class.The results showed that the critical thinking ability of the 5th grade students of B1 SD Muhammadiyah Kauman, Yogyakarta increased after the use of Problem Based Learning model in Civics learning with the subject matter of the example of central and regional legislation. This improvement is evident in the improvement of students' critical thinking skill test result from 12.90% pretreatment score to 51.61% (enough) in cycle I and increased to 70.96% (good) in cycle II.

ASALAHAN DALAM PENERAPAN PARADIGMA LEARNER-CENTERED INSTRUCTION DALAM KELAS BAHASA INGGRIS AbstractThe implementation of Learner-Centered Instruction paradigm (LCI) is closely related to the role of teachers and students in the classroom. Roles that are run by teachers and students contribute to the successful of LCI implementation. In fact, LCI is still not going well, especially in MAN Solok. Indications suggest that the problems encountered in the implementation of the LCI are closely related to the way teachers and students in implementing their role. This article discusses the implementation of the respective roles of teachers and students in MAN Solok. In addition, this article also discusses the problems arised in the implementation of LCI and its causes.AbstrakPenerapan paradigma Learner-Centered Instruction (LCI) berkaitan erat dengan peran guru dan siswa dalam kelas. Peran yang dijalankan oleh guru dan siswa berkontribusi terhadap keberhasilan pelaksanaan LCI.  Pada kenyataannya, LCI masih belum berjalan dengan baik, khususnya di MAN Kota Solok. Indikasi-indikasi yang ada menunjukkan bahwa masalah yang dihadapi dalam pelaksanaan LCI berkaitan erat dengan cara guru serta siswa dalam menjalankan peran mereka masing-masing. Artikel ini membahas pelaksanaan peran masing-masing guru dan siswa di MAN Kota Solok.

This syllabus represents a course taught online through the University of Maine at Augusta in the fall of 2011 (and every otheryear thereafter). Critical pedagogy can be a challenge in any classroom, and the challenges in an online classroom are compounded. However, the subject matter and approach of Hip Hop can be a powerful tool in teaching students critical thinking skills as well in laying a foundation for interdisciplinary and intersectional theory; here these elements are represented through curriculum—the themes, texts, contexts,approaches, structure, and assignments.

Learning using learning media is very helpful for students in understanding the subject matter. However, many learning media are not yet able to involve students actively involved in learning. The purpose of this research is to develop and implement KOKAMI learning media in the learning process. The results showed that the media developed is very feasible and able to improve students' learning outcomes, critical thinking skills and improve students' learning activities. This learning medium is very suitable to be applied in the implementation of the current curriculum.

The paper is devoted to the role of critical thinking in teaching and focuses on asking the right questions to get the right answers. Critical thinking is being able to think logically and reasonably. It also provides novice teachers and students with practical example of a lesson plan for a reflective teacher. It helps to see the essential elements for a lesson plan, but most importantly it provides an example of a plan heading which is crucial before planning as it helps teachers think critically before they start the lesson. A critical thinker is analytical, reflective, fair-minded, positive, curious, perseverant and creative. The researchers suggest a lesson plan for PD workshop on the importance of critical thinking with detailed procedure.
