The development of the world of education is entering a very important period. Not only to provide quality and optimal education services. But it is also an important period that will determine the continuation of education itself. The mastery of abilities and skills needed by the future is the responsibility of the education world. The future with the construction of Community 5.0 requires schools to transform teacher-centered learning into student-centered learning so that students can think critically, deductively, and inductively in learning science in the era of disruption. Learning system through rote learning is not following the learning paradigm, which emphasizes cognitive understanding. Therefore, an appropriate learning model is needed to overcome the problem of the discrepancy of the paradigm of community learning 5.0. As a strategic stage of achieving competence, learning activities need to be designed and implemented effectively and efficiently to obtain maximum results. One research method that can be done to develop a learning model by applying the steps of the Research and Development (R & D) research procedure. Conceptual models that have been developed in welcoming 5.0 are Social Inquiry Complex (ISC), and Creativity-Based Learning Skill Entrepreneurship (CEL-BaDiS).

Science generic skill is very important for students to solve every problem in learning processes and daily life. The purpose of this research was to explore the students' needs of the chemistry module based on search, solve, create, and share (SSCS) to increase science generic skills. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. There were 61 students in XI Grade from two Senior High Schools at Surakarta. The data were collected using questionnaires sheets, interviews, and materials analysis. The research revealed that the module and teaching materials used in the schools have not empowered the science generic skills maximally; also, the teachers remained to adopt discourse method which resulted in a teacher-centered learning. Such learning made the learning activities seemed monotonous, uninteresting, and less motivated the students in building concepts. Thus, the students required alternative teaching materials to increase their science generic skills. In sum, it is necessary to develop a chemistry module on the atomic structure which oriented to the SSCS.
