Inquiry learning strategy is an educational approach that places students at the center of the learning process by encouraging them to actively seek, discover, and conclude knowledge through questioning, observing, and critically analyzing. In this strategy, students are not passive recipients of information from the teacher but are directly involved in learning activities that demand critical and analytical thinking skills. Through inquiry learning, students develop critical thinking abilities by engaging in stages such as problem formulation, hypothesis development, data collection, and drawing conclusions based on observations and analysis. This approach has been proven effective in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills as it promotes active and independent participation in learning, while also boosting motivation and self-confidence. The teacher acts as a facilitator who guides and motivates students to sharpen their critical thinking skills in solving problems systematically and logically. Thus, inquiry learning strategy not only enriches students’ understanding of the subject matter but also equips them with essential thinking skills to face future life and learning challenges.

This research presents the basic concept of learning interaction, especially in the Indonesian classroom. A literature review is a technique used in this study. The data collection technique was carried out by searching for library sources based on the outline topic, grouping library sources based on relevance to the subject and year of the research, then sequencing the structure of explanations and comparing interrelated data. The data is then analyzed through 3 steps, namely data reduction, data presentation, and verification. The results of the study explained that in general the interaction is divided into three patterns, (1) one-way patterns, (2) two-way patterns, and (3) multi-directional patterns. All three are needed in the learning process. However, what should be more dominant is the multi-directional pattern. In language classes, especially Indonesian interactions, learning interaction aims to develop four aspects of language skills, namely (1) listening, (2) speaking, (3) reading and (4) writing. Each aspect of skill has its pattern, technique/method. In addition, teacher and student activities during learning can be classified into seven categories of interactions known as the Brown Interaction Analysis System (BIAS).    

  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.

Summarizing Arabic texts plays a crucial role in understanding and disseminating knowledge. In Arabic language learning, there is a concept known as Naht, which is the process of simplifying or condensing lengthy and complex texts into a shorter form without diminishing the core meaning contained within them. However, in reality, many students still struggle to summarize Arabic texts due to less interactive teaching methods, resulting in passive attitudes and a lack of self-confidence among students. This study aims to develop more interactive teaching techniques to enhance student participation while supporting their critical thinking skills, particularly in the ability to summarize after reading Arabic texts. This research employs a qualitative approach with descriptive methods through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the application of interactive methods such as group discussions and mind mapping positively impacts students' ability to summarize Arabic texts and develop critical thinking skills. Group discussions help deepen understanding and boost students' confidence, while mind mapping facilitates the identification of core material and makes learning more engaging and easier to remember. This technique has proven effective in improving summarization skills and sharpening critical thinking, thus it is recommended for teachers to implement and further develop it in order to create an optimal learning process for students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Izzul Islam.
