In the era of globalization and rapid technological development, critical and creative thinking skills are important competencies that must be possessed by students to face real-world challenges. The learning strategy for improving thinking ability (SPPKB) is a learning approach that focuses on developing students' thinking skills through the analysis of facts or experiences and active problem solving. This learning model involves stages of onboarding, experience tracking, problem confrontation, inquiry, accommodation, and transfer to guide students to discover concepts independently and apply noble values such as honesty. In addition, this strategy demands active student involvement, increased motivation, and the use of technology and discussion methods to create a conducive learning environment. Although it has advantages in developing critical thinking skills, this strategy also faces challenges such as the need for sufficient time and the readiness of teachers and students in its implementation. With the right implementation, this learning strategy can increase students' thinking potential optimally and is relevant to the demands of modern education.

This study investigates impoliteness strategies used in the YouTube comment section of Gibran Rakabuming's video entitled "Generasi Muda, Bonus Demografi, dan Masa Depan Indonesia."

The main method to encourage women to achieve gender equality is education. Women have greater opportunities to improve their quality of life, fight for their rights, and actively participate in various aspects of life through education. However, social reality shows that women still face various challenges, such as unequal access to education, patriarchal cultural construction, and limited roles in the public sphere. In this article, the importance of education as a way to encourage women to achieve fair gender equality is discussed. Education not only teaches women what they need to know, but also gives them a critical understanding of their roles and potential. In this context, education must be designed inclusively and responsive to the needs of women, taking into account the social, cultural, and historical aspects that affect their lives. Women's education is essential to building a just, equal, and sustainable society because achieving gender equality in education is not just an individual effort; it also requires systemic support from policies, curricula, and a supportive social environment.
