Science Education (IPA) has a very important role in the development of science, technology, and in forming critical and analytical thinking patterns of students. Through science learning, students not only gain knowledge about scientific concepts, but are also trained to think critically, systematically, and creatively in dealing with various problems. One aspect that influences the success of science learning is cognitive psychology, which focuses on how individuals process, store, and remember information. Cognitive psychology plays an important role in designing effective learning strategies, which are tailored to the way students understand and manage information. In addition, the learning paradigm used in science education also greatly influences the success of learning. The two main paradigms that are widely considered in science learning are absolutism and constructivism. The absolutism paradigm argues that knowledge is absolute and must be accepted without change, while the constructivism paradigm assumes that knowledge is built through experience and active interaction with the environment. This article aims to explore how the tradition of cognitive psychology influences science learning and examines the differences in the impact of the two paradigms in the context of science education in Indonesia. This discussion is expected to provide a deeper understanding of the importance of applying cognitive psychology and selecting the right learning paradigm in improving the quality of science education.

This research was motivated by the discovery of several problems faced by students, namely poor interest in learning, such as the level of activeness of students during the learning process and low interest of students in SKI learning. Students felt that in this learning there was no passion or interest, as indicated by students being less active in the learning process and student involvement in the SKI learning process also decreased. With these conditions, students quickly get bored and are not interested in participating in learning. As a result, difficulties arise that affect the learning objectives to be achieved. This study aims to determine the relationship between learning strategies and learning media with interest in learning Islamic Cultural History class VIII at MTsN 1 Bukittinggi. The type of research used in this research is quantitative, correlational. The population is all class VIII students with a total of 347 students spread across 11 classes. The sample in this research used the Probability Sampling technique using Simple Random Sampling, and the total research sample was 78 students. Data was collected through questionnaires, observation and documentation analyzed using normality tests, linearity tests, multiple correlation analysis and hypothesis testing. Based on the results of the research that has been done, the results show that there is a relationship between learning strategies on student interest in learning in the subject of Islamic Culture History class VIII at MTsN 1 Bukittinggi City and the relationship between learning media on student interest in learning in the subject of Islamic Culture History class VIII at MTsN 1 Bukittinggi City, as evidenced by the results of the Pearson Product Moment correlation test on the relationship between learning strategies and interest in learning with a Pearson correlation value of 0.382 and a significant value of 0.001 <0.05. While the Pearson correlation test results on the relationship between learning media and interest in learning are 0.236 with a significant value of 0.038 <0.05. Furthermore, the results of the Pearson correlation test on the relationship between learning strategies and media with learning interest are <0.05, which is certainly valid and related. Based on this value, it can be seen that the relationship between learning strategies to interest in learning is interconnected and the relationship between learning media to interest in learning is interconnected, so Ha is accepted.

This study aims to examine the role of family environment in motivating elementary school students to learn. Family education is the initial foundation in the formation of learning motivation that contributes greatly to students' academic success. The research method used is qualitative with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that a harmonious family environment, parental attention, and providing motivation consistently had a significant effect on increasing students' learning motivation. Factors such as managing study time, monitoring academic progress, and developing children's personalities are important aspects in supporting learning. We conclude that parents' active involvement in creating a conducive learning atmosphere and providing internal and external motivation can improve students' learning success. The findings are expected to enrich insights into the importance of the family's role in students' education.
