This study aimed to analyze the effects of the Project-Based Learning (PBL) model and the SAVI (Somatic, Auditory, Visual, and Intellectual) model on the critical thinking skills of fourth-grade elementary school students in Tlogowungu District, Pati Regency. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, specifically a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, targeting all fourth-grade students in the Ki Hajar Dewantara cluster, comprising 10 schools. The research sample included 32 students from SDN Guwo 03 and 32 students from SDN Tlogowungu 03 as the experimental classes, while 31 students from SDN Purwosari 02 served as the control class. Data collection was conducted through tests, and preliminary data analysis included normality, homogeneity, and mean similarity tests. The results indicated that the PBL model positively affected the critical thinking skills of fourth-grade students, as evidenced by a significant t-test result and a notable N-gain score. Similarly, the SAVI model also had a positive impact on students' critical thinking skills, supported by significant t-test results and effective N-gain scores. Although both models positively influenced critical thinking skills, there was no significant difference between their effects. Overall, the study concluded that both the Project-Based Learning and SAVI models effectively enhance the critical thinking skills of fourth-grade elementary school students in science subjects.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the planning, implementation, and impact of environmental character education through the Adiwiyata program at SMP Negeri 1 Batangan Pati. Character is defined as a way of thinking and behaving unique to each individual, allowing them to live and work together within the family, society, nation, and state. Character education is a system that instills character values in school residents, encompassing knowledge, awareness or will, and actions to implement these values. Environmental education (PLH) is an educational program designed to foster students' understanding, awareness, attitudes, and responsible behavior towards nature and sustainable development through school programs, specifically the Adiwiyata program. This study employs a narrative qualitative method, utilizing both human and non-human data sources. Human data sources, as key informants, are obtained through interviews, while non-human data sources are collected through observation and documentation. The data analysis follows an interactive process, continuously occurring at every research stage: data collection, data reduction, and data presentation (data display). The results indicate that (1) planning for environmental character education through the Adiwiyata program is incorporated into the school's vision, mission, goals, and curriculum. (2) The implementation of environmental character education is developed through integration with subjects, self-development, and school culture or habituation. Teachers integrate character education into subjects through syllabus and lesson plans, particularly relevant materials. Self-development is promoted through scout and UKS activities, while habituation is fostered through routine, spontaneous, programmed, and exemplary activities. (3) The impact of environmental character education through the Adiwiyata program is reflected in the increased environmental awareness among school residents. The school has received recognition as a caring and cultured environmental school, achieving national Adiwiyata school status.

Malaysia has had a strong focus on internationalization since the introduction of the National Higher Education Strategic Plan 2007-2020 and in the Malaysian Education - Higher Education (PPM PT) 2015-2025 Blueprint. One of the countries that Malaysia has strategized for strategic partnership in education is South Korea. The partnership which started in 1962, has recently celebrated its 60 years of collaboration during the commemoration of diplomatic in February 2020. The absence of a representative model could result in complex challenges especially in identifying important and necessary steps to internationalization and further create financial, energy and time loss. Thus, this study aims to find the systematic literature review (SLR) on internationalization of higher education in South Korea for the Malaysian higher education. The development adapts the Define, Measure, Analyze, Design and Verify (DMADV) technique which is commonly used in the field of quality management. As such, the internationalization activities that are planned could be well coordinated for a sustainable internationalization process. In a longer run, the model should assist the Malaysian and South Korean education ministries to monitor the progress of internationalization in both countries.

Kajian ini dijalankan bertujuan mengenal pasti penggunaan peribahasa mengikut jenis-jenisnya dalam karangan murid Tingkatan Satu di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Rompin Permai dan untuk menganalisis masalah-masalah yang dihadapi oleh murid tingkatan satu dalam menguasai peribahasa. Kajian ini dijalankan menerusi pendekatan kualitatif, iaitu dengan membuat analisis dokumen. Pengkaji juga membina borang soal selidik dan sesi temu bual bagi mendapatkan data tambahan. Borang soal selidik yang digunakan adalah dalam bentuk Google Forms untuk kegunaan responden. Kajian ini melibatkan 45 orang murid tingkatan satu dan seorang guru bahasa Melayu dari SMK Rompin Permai yang dipilih secara rawak. Dapatan kajian dianalisis berdasarkan jenis-jenis peribahasa dan hubung kait menggunakan Teori Relevan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan penggunaan peribahasa yang rendah dalam karangan murid tingkatan satu. Namun, tahap kefahaman murid dalam memberikan makna peribahasa adalah memuaskan. Walaubagaimanapun, terdapat beberapa ayat yang dibina menggunakan peribahasa mempunyai kesalahan dari segi sintaksis dan tidak gramatis. Sehubungan itu, Teori Relevan yang digunakan dalam analisis terdiri daripada tiga gagasan utama, iaitu konteks, kesan konteks dan usaha memproses. Hasil kajian menunjukkan faktor psikologi, persekitaran fizikal, andaian dan pengalaman peribadi menjadi faktor utama oleh murid dalam menanggapi makna-makna peribahasa tersebut. Implikasinya, kajian ini dapat merungkai masalah-masalah yang dihadapi oleh murid dalam menguasai peribahasa di samping memberi peluang kepada guru untuk membuat penambahbaikan dalam sesi pengajaran dan pembelajaran.
A Literature Review of Language Assessment Scale
Authors: Gao Li , Ahmad Hishamuddin
Published: January 2025

Language assessment scales are essential tools in both educational and clinical contexts, employed to evaluate language proficiency and inform instructional strategies. This literature review seeks to identify and analyze the most highly cited studies related to language assessment scales. The aim of this research is to synthesize past findings and highlight current trends. The methodology involved a systematic search of the Scopus database, selecting articles published between 2014 and 2024 that aligned with the study’s focus. The findings revealed several critical themes: first, the importance of validating assessment tools such as the Preschool Language Assessment Scale (PreLAS) and the Expressive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test (EOWPVT-3: SBE) to ensure they accurately reflect the language abilities of dual language learners (DLLs). Second, the role of communicative competence in teacher education was emphasized, particularly the need for targeted teaching strategies and assessment tools. Third, the review highlighted the distinct challenges of assessing language for specific purposes (LSP) in professional contexts, especially in Asian call centres. Additionally, the review underscored the unique challenges faced by special populations, such as deaf or hard-of-hearing students, and examined the potential of content-based interventions, like shared book reading, to enhance vocabulary development among DLL preschoolers. The implications of these findings suggest that while current tools are valuable, there is a continuous need for refinement to better address the specific linguistic needs of diverse learners. This review contributes to the academic discourse by proposing themes that warrant further investigation, emphasizing the necessity for culturally relevant and psychometrically sound language assessment tools.

The rapid development of technology, despite providing convenience in daily life, also brings negative impacts such as stress, anxiety, and depression. This is no exception in the educational environment, especially in schools, where many students experience these negative effects. One emerging approach as a solution to address stress and mental well-being issues is through mindfulness practices. Although numerous studies have discussed the effectiveness of mindfulness in reducing student stress, a more in-depth exploration of the role and implementation of mindfulness in the educational context remains limited. This research aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the implementation of mindfulness in the learning process at the high school level. In this study, a descriptive qualitative method was employed, involving observations of subjects and research objects based on the facts revealed in the field. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation. The research findings indicate that mindfulness practices have been adopted in some private high schools, while in public high schools, the implementation of mindfulness is only being introduced by schools with proactive teachers in the learning process.

Using learning media by teachers is one way to measure the quality of superior education. However, the reality that occurs in the field is that many teachers are not skilled in using digital technology and lack training for teachers in integrating digital media into learning. Learning media in addition to serving as a communication tool to make it easier to convey messages from the message carrier to the recipient, can also increase students' curiosity, increase their interest in the lesson, and provide additional information. The purpose of this study is to examine how digital interactive media can increase student engagement, personalize their learning experience, and support various learning styles in learning activities. The study looks at the latest studies on digital learning platforms, educational apps, and multimedia content created for young students. Discussed are the main advantages of incorporating these resources into the traditional curriculum, as well as suggestions for how to do it well. The method used in this study is a literature review, which analyzes various articles related to using digital interactive media in elementary school learning. These results show that interactive digital tools can significantly improve student learning outcomes and prepare students for the ever-evolving digital world.
