Many recent studies have reported that feedback plays a very important role in students’ learning outcomes. However, currently, feedback has not been utilized by lecturers and students in the learning process effectively. This study aimed to explore the impact of feedback as a soft scaffolding in the ongoing assessment of Quantum Physics class for the students as prospective Physics teachers. A quasi-experimental design non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group was used to examine the effectiveness of feedback based on ongoing assessment. The results of the study revealed that students who received feedback based on metacognitive and social constructivism on studying Quantum Physics showed better average results compared to students who received traditional feedback based on the cognitivism in the form of correction.

The purpose of this research is to describe the effectiveness of STEM on the physics concepts understanding seen from gender differences. The research method used is a type of quasi-experimental design with 2x2 factorial design and saturated sampling technique. The data collecting technique used a tested method to see the results of students' concept understanding. Hypothesis testing was done using two-way ANOVA 2 x 2 factorial designs. The results of the study are: (1) there are differences in STEM and conventional learning on concepts understanding and the use of STEM learning is more effective than the conventional one; (2) there are differences in the results of understanding the concept between male and female students where male students are higher than female students; and, (3) there is no interaction between learning and gender towards concepts understanding. The research recommends designing the STEM-integrated ESciT learning to be relevant with the indicator measurements and to manage the learning effectively to obtain optimum learning outcome.

Almost all countries pay full attention to the education system, especially countries with smaller populations have an advantage in this field. Relatively small countries and regions, including Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Estonia and Finland, were at the top of the results of the 2015 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) test. This test was carried out by evaluating academic achievement for 15 years around the world. In the last evaluation, Shanghai took the overall top position. Japan is one country that has a good learning concept, with the 4th to 7th positions in various fields of competition. The application of cooperative learning with the development of learning methods is very important to improve the achievement of student learning outcomes. The purpose of this study is to observe the understanding of concepts, and how to think critically in analyzing exam questions. Cooperative learning application with a combination of the "Network Tree Concept Map" method as a depiction to increase students' interest and thinking power.

The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) has become a major topic worldwide. The era of Industry 4.0 stimulates the advancement of science and technology through the Internet of Things (IoT), the Internet of Services (IoS), the Internet of Data (IoD) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) which resulting in the creation of smart machines or autonomous robots. The era of Industry 4.0 gets rapid response worldwide, Indonesia is no exception. The Indonesian government appeals to the nation of Indonesia technology literacy in all aspects, especially on the aspect of education. Higher education is the driving force for change. One of the efforts undertaken by universities to prepare for the fourth industrial revolution can be done by character strengthening, so that science is not value-free and there is no statement that human as a robot with no conscience. Islamic religious education plays an important role in controlling the power of Industry 4.0 through character education. The result of this research is that character building is not only done in a formal education (educational institution), but non-formal education (parents, friends, and organization) also gives a big impact to the students. In facing the era of Industry 4.0, the character building from parents, educational institutions and government are needed.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the learning model CUPs (Conceptual Understanding Procedures) against higher order thinking skills (HOTS) of students on class X IPA Madrasah Aliyah Mathla'ul Anwar Gisting. The method used is a quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control group. Test independent with sample t-test was used to determine differences in high-level thinking skills students use models of cups with direct instructional model. The results of the analysis states that there are differences in the average high-level thinking skills among learners using CUPs models with conventional instructional model. The effectiveness of the use models of CUPs better in improving higher order thinking skills of students, it can be seen from the value obtained effect size of 0.3 is included in the medium.Tujuan dari penelitian ini, adalah untuk meninjau efektivitas penggunaan model pembelajaran CUPs (Conceptual Understanding Procedures) terhadap kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi (KBTT) peserta didik kelas X IPA MA Mathla’ul Anwar Gisting. Metode penelitian yang dipilih yakni kuasi eksperimen dengan desain non equivalent control group. Uji independent sample t-test digunakan untuk mengetahui perbedaan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi peserta didik menggunakan model CUPs dengan model pembelajaran langsung. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan rerata kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi peserta didik antara menggunakan model CUPs dengan model pembelajaran konvensional. Efektivitas penggunaan model CUPs lebih efektif dalam meningkatkan KBTT peserta didik, ditunjukkan dari nilai effect size yang diperoleh sebesar 0,3 termasuk dalam kategori sedang.

The industrial revolution era 4.0 has now become a major topic in every country. Various sectors respond quickly to this problem, including education. In response to this, there are several aspects of skills that students must master. One of them is problem-solving skills. One of the aspects that influence the students' problem-solving skills is the context and problem-based learning model. The purpose of this study is to describe the effect of the model on students' skills to solve physics problems. The research method used is a quasi-experimental research design with non-equivalent control group design. The data analysis technique used Independent Sample T-Test by PASW 18 with a significance 5%. Based on the results of the Independent Sample T-Test can be concluded that there is an effect on the model that was applied with a significant gain of 0,00. The results showed that the context and problem-based learning (C-PBL) model affected the physics problem-solving skills. The C-PBL model is able to improve the students' physics problem-solving skills, communication skills, the students' confidence in learning, as well as improving students' understanding of physics lessons conceptually.

Educating students from an early age to have ecological awareness and not to damage the earth is one alternative to reduce global warming. The purpose of this study is to find things that need to be developed in environmentally-friendly education as a solution to global warming. The type of this research model is a descriptive qualitative study. The research was conducted at Sekolah Alam Lampung, Indonesia. Based on observations and interviews, it has been found that the school has implemented a strict learning and disciplinary curriculum. The output is expected for the students to self-managing waste and separating organic and non-organic waste bins that have been provided. The non-organic and recycled organic waste could be made into compost. They also plant and care for vegetables and trees in the green laboratory provided. The activity of the Sekolah Alam Lampung is an alternative solution to the environmental crisis regarding global warming, which is now increasingly severe and contributes conceptually to overcome the global warming, which has been a global issue.
