The aim of this research is to develop biology inquiry-based instructional materials, on the topic Human Excretion System to facilitate senior high school students to think critically and work cooperatively. The instructional materials consisted of the lesson plan, worksheet, learning material, and evaluation instruments. Before the try-outing, the instructional materials had been validated by expert and good categorized.  The result showed that: 1) the developed instructional materials were feasible; 2) the lesson plan had been well implemented (98%); 3) the highest students activities were discussion (27,56%), writing hypotheses (22,16%), formulating conclusion (13,70%), and testing hypotheses using the data collection (13,14%); 4) student learning outcomes including the ability of the achievement of competence indicators completeness 88% and  the think critically had reached 95,6% of mastery level in the indicator gives the argument (92,6%) and take decisions and actions (88,1%); 5) student motivation level based on the ARCS instrument were respectively: 4,48 for Attention, 4,44 for Relevance, 4,22 for Confidence, and 4,47 for Satisfaction. The percentage of student response to the instructional process was 80,77% , 84,62% to the teaching materials, 82,05% to the worksheets; and 6) 87,3% in collaboration work. Based on the above result showed that developed biology inquiry based instructional materials on the topic Human Excretion System were feasible to facilitate senior high school students to think critically and work cooperatively. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan perangkat pembelajaran yang layak berdasarkan pendekatan berbasis inkuiri pada pokok bahasan sistem eksresi manusia dalam upaya untuk melatih keterampilan berpikir kritis dan kerjasama siswa SMA. Perangkat pembelajaran yang dikembangkan adalah Silabus, RPP, Materi Ajar, LKS, dan Instrumen Penilaian. Sebelum diujicobakan perangkat pembelajaran telah divalidasi oleh pakar dan hasilnya valid dan berkategori baik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: 1) perangkat pembelajaran yang telah dikembangkan secara keseluruhan layak digunakan; 2) keterlaksanaan RPP adalah 98% terlaksana baik; 3) aktivitas siswa dalam proses pembelajaran yang tertinggi adalah berdiskusi dengan guru  atau siswa lain, yaitu (27,56%), menuliskan hipotesis (22,16%), membuat kesimpulan (13,70%), dan menguji hipotesis (13,14%); 4) hasil belajar siswa yang meliputi ketuntasan indikator ketercapaian kompetensi 88,8% dan keterampilan berpikir kritis rata-rata (95,6%) dengan persentase tertinggi pada indikator memberikan argumen (96,2%) dan mengambil keputusan dan tindakan (88,1%); 5) respon siswa siswa terhadap pembelajaran dapat dilihat dari nilai angket dengan menggunakan ARCS, yaitu untuk Attention (perhatian) = 4,48, Relevance (relevansi) = 4,44, Convidence (keyakinan) = 4,22, dan Satisfacation (kepuasan) = 4,47, Persentase respon untuk proses pembelajaran 80,77%, materi ajar 84,62%, dan LKS 82,05%; 6) kemampuan kerjasama siswa tertinggi pada aspek menghargai anggota kelompok, yaitu 87,3 %. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa  perangkat pembelajaran biologi berbasis inkuiri yang dikembangkan adalah layak dan dapat melatih keterampilan berpiki kritis dan kerjasama siswa SMA pada materi Sistem Ekskresi Manusia.

This article investigates the types and variations of collocations used in English Lembar Kerja Siswa (LKS) books for senior high school students. The researchers employed corpus analysis in conducting this study. Data were collected from five English LKS books for grade X, XI, and XII Senior High School (SMA/SMK/MA). AntConc 3.5.8 was used to extract the data, which were then analyzed to find out the types and variations of collocations in the books. The findings revealed that the books consisted of Grammatical G1 (1804 tokens), Grammatical G2 (1 token), Grammatical G3 (423 tokens), Grammatical G4 (4664 tokens), Grammatical G5 (1 token), Grammatical G7 (34 tokens), Lexical L1 (3889 tokens), Lexical L3 (533 tokens), Lexical L4 (687 tokens), Lexical L5 (4 tokens), and Lexical L7 (2 tokens) collocations. Grammatical G4 collocation was mostly found in the LKS books. Furthermore, the collocation types in the English LKS books by grade levels were not various. The researchers suggest that English teachers should introduce collocations in their teaching to help the students to acquire the natural use of English.

Valuing constitutes an important aspect of mathematics pedagogy and hence student learning outcomes. This study surveyed 416 students from Cape Coast, Ghana to explore what senior high school students in this country in West Africa valued in their study of mathematics. The data collected were analyzed using principal component analysis. The results suggest that Ghanaian senior high school students found connections, understanding, fluency, learning technologies, feedback, instructional materials, open-endedness and problem-solving important in their mathematics learning. Implications of the findings for curriculum delivery in mathematics and future research opportunities are also discussed.

This descriptive study assessed students’ exposure to activities that promote the acquisition of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The study involved 150 randomly selected senior high school students. Results reveal that students have a “great extent” of exposure to instruction that promotes the acquisition of the desired mathematics skills, particularly on the content, strategies, assessment, and instructional materials. Students are exposed to a “great extent” to activities that allow them to predict, gather and organize information, derive conclusions, make judgment or decisions, discuss and justify solutions; however, have a “low extent” of exposure to problem posing. Students were exposed to a “very great extent” to the step by step process in dealing with problems. The students have a “great extent” of exposure to problem-solving strategies that promote verbal-logical, visual-spatial, and organizing skills, however, to a low extent in restructuring and rethinking skills. Students’ exposure to the use of manipulatives or mathematical models, calculators, creative pictures and diagrams, worksheets, online materials, creative PowerPoint presentations, varied textbooks, and scholarly materials in mathematics problem solving was to a “great extent” but “low” on the use of mathematics software and videos. Along assessment, students have a “great extent” of exposure to assessment on knowledge, comprehension, application, synthesis, and evaluation skills but to a “low extent” on assessment that requires metacognitive and reflective thinking.
