Early science education has a strategic role in forming critical and innovative thinking patterns in children as a provision to face challenges in the era of globalization and technological advancement. However, the implementation of the scientific approach at the early childhood education (PAUD) and elementary school levels still faces various obstacles, such as limited teacher knowledge, lack of contextual learning facilities, and teaching methods that tend to be one-way. In fact, childhood is a phase of cognitive development that is very potential to foster curiosity and scientific thinking skills. The low science literacy scores of Indonesian students in international studies indicate the need for intervention from an early age. Therefore, community service programs that aim to build a foundation for children's science from an early age are very important. This program includes teacher training, development of learning media, and exploratory activities based on simple experiments that are appropriate to the world of children. Through this approach, it is hoped that a young generation can be created who not only understand science conceptually, but also have the ability to think critically, creatively, and find solutions in facing problems in the future.

Continuous training and support in the use of technology are essential to enrich the learning experience for students. It is expected to inspire education policies at the elementary school level to optimize the implementation of deep learning in competency-based curriculum and improve the quality of education.

This study aims to identify the teaching approach and methods used by teachers at TK Pembina 1 Medan in developing the social skills of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), specifically in the B Inovatif class. This research employed a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and documentation. The subjects of the study consisted of two teachers and one child with ASD, identified as Z. The results show that the teacher applies a student-centered learning approach, allowing children the freedom to choose activities that align with their interests and comfort. This approach is intended to facilitate the social development of the child by providing a more enjoyable and meaningful learning experience. Additionally, six teaching methods were employed, namely role-playing, cooperative learning, singing with movement, social activities based on real-life experiences, the use of media such as videos, and storytelling. Although some methods, such as role-playing, are still difficult for children with ASD to follow, the teacher adapts these methods to suit the child's needs and abilities. This study reveals that structured and flexible teaching approaches and methods are crucial in helping children with ASD gradually develop their social skills.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of using Canva media on students' motivation and learning outcomes, especially in soccer material. The method used is a quantitative approach with a One Group Pretest-Posttest experimental design. The subjects of the study consisted of 59 ninth grade students of SMP Labschool Unesa 3 Surabaya, with a sample of 20 students from class IX-A. Data were collected through a questionnaire and pretest and posttest were conducted. Data analysis included normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing. The results showed an average pretest score of 84.68 and a posttest of 63.10, with an increase in learning motivation of 92.41. The average learning outcome before the intervention was 4.1765, while after it became 6.0588. The T-test showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 ≤ 0.005, so the alternative hypothesis was accepted and the null hypothesis was rejected. This indicates that Canva media contributes positively to increasing student motivation and learning outcomes in soccer learning, as seen from the increasing enthusiasm of students during the learning process.

This study aims to explore innovative learning strategies in fostering students' critical thinking skills. Critical thinking skills are increasingly essential in today’s complex and challenging era. Approaches such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), as well as open discussions and debates, are capable of encouraging students to think analytically, logically, and reflectively. These strategies emphasize the active role of students in the learning process—not merely as recipients of information, but also as seekers and processors of knowledge. Teachers serve as facilitators who create a learning environment that supports exploration and problem-solving. The evaluation of critical thinking skills is conducted through instruments such as rubrics, Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions, and analytical essay tests, which allow for an in-depth assessment of students' abilities. The findings show that innovative learning is more effective than conventional methods in developing critical thinking skills. Therefore, these strategies are worth implementing widely in the education system to prepare students to face future challenges critically, creatively, and adaptively.

Rapid urbanization has led to an increased demand for food in urban areas. At the same time, land limitations and dependence on external supplies pose significant challenges to food security. Urban agriculture is an innovative solution for producing local food using limited land and modern agricultural techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, vertical farming, and rooftop gardens. This approach allows urban agriculture to be more resource-efficient, reduces distribution costs, and minimizes its environmental impact by lowering its carbon footprint. In addition to environmental benefits, urban agriculture also brings social and economic benefits by raising awareness of food sustainability, creating new business opportunities, and enhancing food independence in urban communities. This research uses a literature review method to examine various articles discussing the development, obstacles, and implementation of urban agriculture in different countries. The results show that urban agriculture makes an important contribution to improving food security while also providing a sustainable alternative for the global food system. Therefore, promoting the growth of urban agriculture from the perspective of sustainable food security requires support from government institutions, the private sector, and local communities.
