The education sector must utilize the latest technology in the classroom in the era of globalization and rapid advances in information technology. Using text, graphics, audio, and video together, interactive learning materials have been proven to increase student understanding and engagement. Kindergarten (TK) is a place where children are introduced to the environment and the basic principles of learning. Introducing children to various types of transportation is believed to be very important because it is the first step in helping them broaden their horizons and become familiar with the types of transportation in their environment. Apart from that, children are very interested in and liked transportation, so it must be packaged attractively so that it can arouse their curiosity in learning.

The shift from face-to-face learning to online and blended learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic presents challenges for educators and prospective teachers in designing effective instruction. One of the commonly used instructional media in online and blended learning is video. However, using video as a material delivery tool has its drawbacks, such as difficulties in monitoring student activities and assessing their understanding. This issue is also experienced by students of the Mathematics Study Program at Universitas PGRI Mahadewa Indonesia when using video as learning material. To address this problem, training was conducted for prospective teachers on designing instruction using videos integrated with the Edpuzzle platform. In this training, prospective teachers were taught to create notes and quizzes within videos, provide feedback and assessments, and monitor learning activities. Through this training, it is expected that prospective teachers can design interactive online and blended learning using video.

This study aims to explore the effect of the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) learning model, educational technology, and student learning styles on critical thinking skills as an implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in IPAS subjects at SDN Banyusari Karawang in 2023/2024. The research method used is a quantitative approach with descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Data were collected through tests, questionnaires, and documentation from 264 students selected as research samples. Data analysis included description, prerequisite tests, and hypothesis testing using ANOVA and post hoc techniques. The results showed that the CPS learning model significantly improved students' critical thinking skills compared to the conventional learning model. The use of educational technology also contributes positively to the improvement of critical thinking skills, although the difference is not too striking. Kinesthetic learning style proved to be more effective in developing critical thinking skills compared to audio and video learning styles. ANOVA test indicated a significant effect of learning model and educational technology on critical thinking skills, while learning style showed a smaller effect. The conclusion of this study is that the application of the CPS learning model and the integration of educational technology in the Merdeka Curriculum can effectively improve students' critical thinking skills in IPAS subjects. Therefore, it is recommended for teachers to apply student-centered learning models and utilize educational technology to support the learning process.

This research is motivated by a learning system that only focuses on teachers and books, with no sound, images or videos to support the activity of writing descriptive text. This research aims to determine the influence that occurs before and after using Biteable media on the ability to write descriptive text for class VII students. The competency standards to be achieved in this research are in the 2013 curriculum with KD 3.2 and 4.2. This research uses an experimental method with a one group design with data collection through observation, interviews, and administering pre-tests and post-tests. This research was conducted at Jambi Medan Private Middle School with class VII-A as the sample class used. Based on the research results, it can be seen that the pre-test score (before treatment) was 57.2 and the post-test score (after treatment) was 80.4. Based on the results of calculations that have been carried out using the t test, the value of tcount = 5.51 is obtained. After tcount is known, this value will then be consulted at a significance level of α = 0.05 and n = 29, obtained ttable = 2.045. Thus, it can be concluded that tcount > ttable, namely 5.51 > 2.045, so the alternative hypothesis (Hα) is accepted.
