  Abstract. This study aims to determine how effective the Inquiry Social Complexity (ISC) model is in increasing critical thinking in elementary schools. The Inquiry Social Complexity (ISC) learning model is a way of learning that focuses on the use of critical thinking and social complexity to identify and resolve dilemmas. Critical intelligence means cognitive skills that demonstrate a high level of thinking skills, involving analysis, drawing conclusions, and assessing the problem-solving process, which is one of the important competencies in the 21st century. This study uses a quantitative approach using the Pratung Pre-Experimental design. The design applied is the One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. After the treatment was given, the average homogeneous value obtained was 78.11, while the t-test results gave a sig value (2-tailed) of 0.00 with a significance level of 5%. These results indicate that sig (2-tailed) is less than 0.05, so the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. This means that there is a significant disparity between the pretest and posttest. The conclusion of this study is an example of Inquiry Social Complexity (ISC) learning that has effectiveness in improving critical thinking skills of students in PPKn subjects at Elementary School 1, class V, Natar District. In addition, the analysis with the n-gain test produced an n-gain of 0.511 which is classified as moderate, which strengthens the acceptance of the other method hypothesis (Hα). This confirms that there has been a significant disparity between the pretest and posttest, regarding the effectiveness of the Inquiry Social Complexity (ISC) learning model on students' thinking skills in PPKn subjects at SDN 1, class V, Natar District.

This research investigates the implementation of Random Forest algorithms combined with Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) to predict elementary school dropout rates in Indonesia, supporting the Indonesia Emas 2045 vision. A significant gap was identified in previous studies, which, despite utilizing artificial intelligence for dropout interventions, had not integrated temporal dimensions into data analysis. A temporal data-based classification model was developed using Indonesian Ministry of Education data from 2021-2023, incorporating lag features, delta calculations, and rolling statistics. Two models were implemented: one with SMOTE achieving 99% accuracy with perfect recall for high-risk regions, while the non-SMOTE model reached 100% accuracy. Temporal features were identified as crucial predictors, reflecting external fluctuations and annual changes impacting dropout decisions. This approach enables educational institutions to allocate resources more efficiently by prioritizing operational assistance for high-risk schools. The model's capacity to identify high-risk regions with 100% recall represents a strategic investment in strengthening Indonesia's human resource sustainability. To address the limitations of provincial aggregate data, expansion to include individual-level variables and model validation at district or school scales is recommended for future research.

This paper examines the application of paraphrastic and analytical approaches in the appreciation of productive literature, especially for children's literature. Productive literary appreciation is important in fostering children's reading interest and creativity. The paraphrastic approach helps children re-express literary works in their own language, improving understanding and critical thinking skills. On the other hand, the analytical approach allows children to identify intrinsic and extrinsic elements in literary works, providing deeper insights. Through these two approaches, children are not only passive connoisseurs, but also active in creating and exploring new literary works. This paper explains the definition, characteristics, benefits, and examples of the application of both approaches in literary activities in elementary schools. It is hoped that by implementing this method, children can develop a better appreciation of literature and the moral values ​​contained therein, creating a productive and creative learning environment.    

Traditional games play an important role in the motor development of elementary school children. However, cultural changes and increasing use of technology have caused these games to be played less and less. This study aims to analyze the effect of traditional games on the motor development of elementary school children. Using a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design, this study involved 20 4th grade elementary school students who were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was given treatment in the form of traditional games such as hopscotch, gobak sodor, and jump rope for 4 weeks. The results showed a significant increase in the gross motor development of children who participated in traditional games compared to the control group. In addition to motor benefits, traditional games also contribute to children's social, cognitive, and character development. Therefore, the integration of traditional games into the physical education curriculum in elementary schools is highly recommended to support children's holistic development.
