Kata Kunci: keterampilan abad 21, communication, collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving, creative and inovative [English]: The 21st Century skills consist of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, as well as creative and innovative. This skill needs to be implemented by the teachers in the learning process so that the quality of learning increases. The limitation of teachers’ knowledge of 21st-century learning skills is an obstacle for implementation in the classroom. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce this 21st-century learning skill to the teachers so that it can be implemented well in the classroom. This community service program was carried out at MTs Massaratul Muta'allimin Banten with eight teachers as the participants. It aims to optimize teachers' understanding of 21st-century learning skills and how to implement them in the learning process. This program was held by means of socialization through the delivery of material then an evaluation was administered at the end of the activity in three stages namely the initial, core, and final stages. The results of the questionnaire at the end of the activity show that 78.13% of teachers understand how to deliver the material, 78.13% of teachers can understand the material well, 82.29% of teachers respond to the benefits of the activity, and 81.25% of teachers can develop 21st-century based learning process in the classroom. It can be concluded that this program can optimize teachers’ understanding of 21st-century learning skills. Keywords: 21st century skills; communication, collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving, creative and innovative

This descriptive study assessed students’ exposure to activities that promote the acquisition of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The study involved 150 randomly selected senior high school students. Results reveal that students have a “great extent” of exposure to instruction that promotes the acquisition of the desired mathematics skills, particularly on the content, strategies, assessment, and instructional materials. Students are exposed to a “great extent” to activities that allow them to predict, gather and organize information, derive conclusions, make judgment or decisions, discuss and justify solutions; however, have a “low extent” of exposure to problem posing. Students were exposed to a “very great extent” to the step by step process in dealing with problems. The students have a “great extent” of exposure to problem-solving strategies that promote verbal-logical, visual-spatial, and organizing skills, however, to a low extent in restructuring and rethinking skills. Students’ exposure to the use of manipulatives or mathematical models, calculators, creative pictures and diagrams, worksheets, online materials, creative PowerPoint presentations, varied textbooks, and scholarly materials in mathematics problem solving was to a “great extent” but “low” on the use of mathematics software and videos. Along assessment, students have a “great extent” of exposure to assessment on knowledge, comprehension, application, synthesis, and evaluation skills but to a “low extent” on assessment that requires metacognitive and reflective thinking.

This research aims to improve senior high school students’ physics problem-solving skills through learning used IBMR learning model. This research was a pre-an experimental study with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The Methods of data collection used validation and test. The materials used to teach were valid category by two experts and can be used to practice physics problem-solving skills. The average post-test score physics problem-solving ability was 73.24 with an N-gain of 0.59 was classified as moderate. The success of IBMR learning model-based devices in practicing problem-solving abilities can be seen in the increase in the average score in each indicator of problem-solving abilities. The indicator of understanding the problem had the highest post-test average score of 94.58 with an N-gain of 0.89 in the high category. The problem-solving indicator had the lowest posttest average score was 58.22 with N-gain 0.39 and mean that it was the moderate category. Based on the results study, it can be concluded that the learning used by IBMR learning model can practice the ability to solve physics problems on heat material and its displacement. Learning with the IBMR learning model was expected to train students in solving physics problems. The stages in the IBMR learning model can help students

This study aims to analyze the profile of students’ problem - solving skills based on multiple representation in senior high school. Problem - solving skills in solving multiple representation are very important in learning Physics. The subjects of this study were 101 students of class XII MAN 1 Ngawi. The method used in this research was quantitative descriptive method. Indicators of the problem - solving abilities that were used included approaches, visuals, applications, and procedures. The types of representation in this research instrument were verbal, figures, graphic and mathematic. The results showed that the problem - solving skills related to the indicator of approach with the form of multiple representation questions got percentages of 36% (verbal), 42% (figural), 24% (graphical), and 43% (mathematical). The visual indicators showed the percentages of 44, 29, 38, and 0 for verbal, figural, graphical, and mathematical respectively. Then the indicators of procedures obtained 36% for the verbal, 30% for the figures, 35% for the graphics, and 0% for the mathematics. Thus, it can be concluded that problem - solving skills possessed by students are different in terms of the percentage each indicator got in the multiple representation test.

Most students experience different levels of difficulties in learning mathematics. TIMSS results have shown that most students in Ghana do not perform well in higher level tasks designed to assess applications and non-routine problems. This study, therefore, aimed at examining Ghanaian Junior and Senior High School mathematics teachers problem-solving strategies and their professional development needs about problem-solving. 114 mathematics teachers from 28 Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS) in the Cape Coast Metropolis took part in the study. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. The results from the study show that although teachers appreciate the importance of problem-solving in improving mathematics teaching and learning, there has not been the needed problem-solving training to support teachers in this regard. The researcher, therefore, argue that despite the numerous advantages associated with problem-solving strategy of teaching and learning, continuous professional development training for teachers should be paramount in our quest for helping students develop problem solving skills. Ghanaian JHS and SHS students can be in a disadvantageous position as they compete with their peers from other countries in international comparison examinations if our teachers are not given the needed support to become proficient in the use of problem-solving strategies in the classrooms.

Abstract The skills that students must possess in 21st century learning are to prepare scientific literacy. This study aims to determine the ability of scientific literacy in the XI grade physics textbook used in Bandung senior high school. This research is a descriptive study that aims to obtain information about developing scientific literacy skills in the three textbooks used. The results showed that the three books did not fully contain the categories of scientific literacy with the average appearance of the categories for the three books of 44% for the knowledge of science, 31% for science as the investigative nature of science, 18% for science as a way of thinking, and 7% for the interaction between science, technology and society. It was concluded that the textbooks used were not optimal in facilitating all aspects of students’ scientific literacy in a balanced manner. Therefore, the results of this study can be used as a basis for designing and developing physics textbooks needed to improve students’ scientific literacy skills.
