RADEC Model on Critical Thinking Skills of Science Education In Elementary School: A Systematic Literature Review

This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by the PRISMA 2020 protocol to evaluate the effectiveness of the RADEC (Read, Answer, Discuss, Explain, and Create) learning model in enhancing critical thinking skills among elementary school students. A total of 21 peer-reviewed studies published between 2019 and 2025 were analyzed. The findings show that the RADEC model enhances critical thinking, particularly in science education. Through its structured stages, the model promotes active engagement, social interaction, reflective thinking, and conceptual understanding. Despite these benefits, challenges such as low student literacy, limited teacher readiness, and insufficient institutional support were identified. These results highlight the need for comprehensive teacher training and institutional support to ensure successful implementation. The RADEC model presents itself as a promising and adaptable approach for promoting 21st-century competencies in primary education.

Pengaruh Model Project Based Learning Berbantuan Video Interaktif Terhadap Kemampuan Kreativitas Siswa Sekolah Dasar: Suatu Kajian Sistematis Literatur

Mujadillah

This systematic literature review explores the influence of Project based learning (PjBL) supported by interactive video media on the creativity of elementary school students. In the 21st-century educational landscape, creativity is a fundamental skill that must be developed from an early age. The study aims to map current research findings on how the integration of digital interactive videos within PjBL environments contributes to enhancing students' creative thinking dimensions, including originality, elaboration, fluency, and flexibility. A total of 38 relevant empirical articles published between 2015 and 2024 were selected from databases such as Google Scholar, ERIC, Scopus, and ResearchGate. The PRISMA method was used for article selection, and thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo 12 Plus. The results indicate that video-assisted PjBL consistently supports creativity development by stimulating idea generation, contextual understanding, and student engagement. However, challenges such as digital infrastructure, teacher readiness, and time allocation are noted. This study contributes theoretically to creative learning model development and offers practical implications for educators aiming to design meaningful, technology-integrated instructional practices in elementary education.

This study investigates the effect of empathy on elementary school students' academic engagement by examining the mediating and moderating roles of social support. Employing a quantitative survey design, the study involved 249 students from four elementary schools selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires that assessed three primary constructs: empathy, social support, and student engagement. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS version 4. The findings reveal that empathy significantly and positively influences both student engagement and perceived social support. However, social support does not have a direct significant impact on student engagement and fails to mediate the relationship between empathy and engagement. Interestingly, empathy was found to moderate the relationship between social support and engagement negatively, indicating that students with high levels of empathy tend to participate actively in learning regardless of external support. These results highlight the critical role of empathy in fostering student engagement and support the integration of social-emotional learning strategies in elementary education settings.

Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Problem Based Learning Pada Mata Pelajaran PKN Kelas 4 di SDN 1 Jatimerta

Apriyani

This study aims to analyze the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model in student learning confidence in Civics Education (Civics) subjects in elementary schools. The background of this research is based on the low participation of students in the Civics learning process which tends to be passive. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of semi-structured interviews with classroom teachers, observation of the learning process, and supporting documentation. The results showed that the application of PBL was able to encourage students to be actively involved in learning through group discussions, real problem solving, and presentation of work results. Students look more enthusiastic, critical, and show improvement in communication and collaboration skills. The application of PBL also provides space for students to develop higher order thinking skills needed in the 21st century. The conclusion of this study states that the PBL model is effective in increasing student learning activeness, especially in Civics subject. This research contributes to the development of innovative learning strategies that are relevant to be applied at the basic education level.
