Critical thinking skills are crucial for preparing students to face complex real-world problems and are a key component of 21st-century learning. This study aims to identify the critical thinking skill profile of 5th-grade elementary school students on the respiratory system material. Critical thinking is an essential skill in 21st-century education, particularly for developing students' abilities in analysis, evaluation, and argumentation. However, it is often neglected in science education at the elementary level. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with survey techniques. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations to assess students' critical thinking skills. The results indicate that among the 30 students tested, 15 were categorized as Fair, 12 as Low, and only 3 as Good. No student achieved the Very Good or Very Low category. The analysis of critical thinking indicators including analyzing, evaluating, composing arguments, and problem-solving reveals that while students possess a basic understanding, they struggle with more advanced critical thinking tasks. The study concludes that students' critical thinking skills remain limited to basic comprehension. This limitation is attributed to the dominance of rote learning methods and the lack of interactive and problem-solving-based instructional strategies. Future teaching approaches should prioritize active learning and the integration of critical thinking practices to enhance students' higher-order thinking skills.

This research aims to explore the use of information technology-based digital literacy in increasing awareness of data security and preventing cyber crime. The approach used is qualitative with descriptive analysis methods, which combine primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained through in-depth interviews with information technology experts, digital literacy activists, the government, and the general public, coupled with observations of the implementation of digital literacy programs in several regions. Secondary data was obtained from official documents and reports related to digital literacy and cyber threats. The research results show that although understanding about the use of digital devices is quite widespread, awareness of the importance of protecting personal data is still low. Existing digital literacy programs tend to focus on basic skills in using technology, but do not include material on data security and cyber threats. The main obstacle in implementing digital literacy programs is limited resources and facilities in certain areas. In addition, even though educational efforts regarding cyber threats have been carried out, people still have difficulty understanding the right way to protect their data from cyber attacks. This research concludes that it is necessary to strengthen digital literacy programs that are more inclusive and in-depth, as well as increasing collaboration between the government, the private sector and educational institutions to increase public understanding regarding data security and preventing cyber crime.
