ICT-based learning provides opportunities for teachers and students to learn digitally, as well as letting the students become autonomous learners. One of the efforts to actualize such typical learning mode is to provide digitalized learning media, such as e-Books. An e-Book of metacognitive learning strategies aimed to train students’ metacognitive skills that emphasized self-regulated learning in order to make them become autonomous learners. This study was objected to describe the e-Book of metacognitive learning strategies in designing, implementing, and evaluating students’ metacognitive skills in a learning process. The e-Book was designed using ADDIE development model and used during the innovative learning I course for 84 biology students at Universitas Negeri Surabaya. The data were analyzed using descriptive-qualitative approach. The results showed that the e-Book’s validity was in a very good category. It also conveyed level 15 of readability according to the students and was responded very well with a positive response of 96%. Other findings depicted that the students’ metacognitive learning outcomes and students’ self-regulation were in a good category. Hence, the e-Books had the potential to be used in a digital learning mode as well as training students’ metacognitive skills and self-regulation.

In this study, a collaborative inquiry-based blended learning model was developed. The model was supported by model books, learning instruments, and test instruments for problem-solving skills. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the model to practice problem-solving skills for physics students. This research included research and development. The development model used uses the 4-D model (define, design, develop, and disseminate). The model and instruments were validated by the expert. The testing phase using the effectiveness test was carried out in one shot case study pre-post test design on three classes. The model implementation test was carried out on pre-service physics teachers at a private university in Mataram. Data collection was performed using observation sheets, problem-solving tests, and student response questionnaires. The data analysis technique used was descriptive, quantitative, and qualitative. The results showed that the inquiry collaborative tutorial-based blended learning model is effective in improving problem-solving skills. Students' problem-solving skills at the visualization step and describing the problem is high, while the next stage is still in the medium category. Students also gave positive responses to learning physics using this model.

This research aimed at training students' critical thinking skills through the implementation of a modified free inquiry learning model. The subjects of this research were 21 students of Mathematics Semester II. Using One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design, the data were analyzed descriptively using N-gain indicator. The results indicate that the modified free inquiry learning model was effective to train students' critical thinking skills. The increase in the students' critical thinking skills viewed from the value of N-Gain has a range of values with the categories of medium and high with a score between 0,25-0,95. Overall, the change in N-Gain score of each student and each indicator of critical thinking skills is as increasing with a moderate category. The increase of N-Gain value is resulted from the fact that the students were directly involved in organizing their learning process. These criteria indicate that the modified free inquiry learning model can be used to train students' critical thinking skills on photosynthesis and cellular respiration materials. The results of this research are expected to be nationally implemented to familiarize students with andragogy learning style which places the students as the subjects of learning.

Objective: This study aims to identify the profile of senior high school students' critical thinking skills in ecosystem material on several critical thinking indicators compiled by Ennis. Method: This research uses quantitative descriptive methods. The research used six essay questions prepared to analyze students' thinking skills based on several indicators compiled by Ennis. The population in this study were all high school students at one of the senior high schools in West Nusa Tenggara, with the sample being class X students with a total of 60 students. Results: Based on research findings, it is known that the skills of the students in the sample are divided into three categories, namely very low, low, and moderate. Half of the sample size is in the very low category. At the same time, the rest is divided into the low and moderate categories, where a small number of students belong to the moderate category. Novelty: The novelty of this research is to explore the level of students' critical thinking skills using indicators compiled by Ennis. These results will provide an overall understanding of students' critical thinking skills, which teachers can use as a basis for designing learning designs to train students' critical thinking skills to reach the high and very high categories.

Objective: Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is an educational agenda that focuses on the quality of learning outcomes and the emphasis on learning content and its contribution to future environmental sustainability, one of which is tackling climate change. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) can be integrated into curriculum and learning. This study aims to describe and conduct a literature review of the implementation of ESD in climate change learning. Methods: This research is a literature study by screening 370 Scopus-indexed papers in the 2017-2022 time frame into 20 papers for analysis. The analysis results show that journal publications on implementing ESD in climate change learning still need to be made available despite increased research trends. The implementation that has been carried out can be through formal / school and non-formal education with learning innovations and developing curricula and policies. There is a tendency for developing learning innovations is the most widely practiced form of implementation in climate change learning. Implementing ESD in climate change learning is vital in improving the understanding, skills, and awareness of climate change. Novelty: The study reveals an urgent need to develop the right innovations, methods, and designs to implement ESD in climate change learning, especially government policies. These findings invite researchers, practitioners, governments, and communities to be involved in developing innovations, methods, designs, and policies within a sustainable framework by implementing ESD in climate change learning.
