This study aims to analyze the characteristics of critical, creative and communication thinking after participating in learning academic-constructive controversy. Sequential explanatory design with sequential phase design analysis was used for the test results of two classes of junior high school students. The results showed that the experimental group was better than the control group for creative, critical, and communication mathematic. Completeness of the characteristics of the three abilities is in line with the ability of students, but they experience obstacles to communicating. Unfortunately, this study is only limited to quadrilateral topics. Academic-Constructive controversy learning can be used to develop three skills or even develop character qualities going forward.

The purpose of this study is to analyze students' psychological dispositions about student learning anxiety and happiness on the level of education. Elementary school, Junior high school and Senior High School students in the city of Cirebon were the subjects in this study. Mixed methods research with a sequential transformative strategy model was chosen to answer the problem of this research. Through a stratified random sampling technique, two types of research data were obtained; quantitative and qualitative data. Both of these data were analyzed by two data analysis techniques. Quantitative data analysis used is chi-square and contingency correlation, while qualitative data analysis uses triangulation of data sources. The results showed that there were differences in the level of mathematics anxiety and learning happiness of students at each level of education. Senior High School students have a high level of math anxiety when compared to elementary and Junior high school students. While in terms of happiness learn, students the elementary school is happier learning when compared to the other two types of students. This condition is also strengthened by the existence of a significant relationship between mathematics anxiety and happiness learn student with the level of education

Learning models that can improve critical thinking, skills collaborate, communicate, and creative thinking are needed in the 21st-century education era. Critical and creative thinking are the two essential competencies of the four skills required in the 21st century. However, both are still difficult to achieve well by students due to a lack of thinking skills during mathematics learning. This study was conducted to determine the model of learning that is appropriate to develop students' critical and creative thinking skills. The study used three-class samples from eighth grade. The first class is given the problem-posing lesson; the second class is given contextual learning and third class as a control class. The results of the study indicate that improving students' critical and creative thinking skills are included in the moderate category for types using contextual learning and problem-posing. Also, it is found that contextual learning is more effective for improving critical thinking skills when compared with learning problem posing and expository learning. Meanwhile, learning problem posing is more useful to enhance creative thinking skills compared with contextual and expository learning.

This Research examined students's understanding of mathematical concepts ability. Samples are tenth grade students in one of state high school in Cirebon City. Experiment class received Challenge-based Learning (CbL) approach while control class received Conventional Approach.The instrument used was understanding of mathematical concepts ability test. The data earned were analyzed statistically. The results showed that students's understanding of mathematical concepts ability who received CbL approach is better than students who received conventioanl approach (1/2 sig = 0.0005<0.05). In term indicators of understanding of mathematical concepts,highest enhancement that achieved by students was indicator of classify objects based on fulfilled or not requirements that form that concept, while the lowest enhanchment that achieved by students was indicator of make example or counter example from the concept learned.

Penlitian ini bertujuan untukn memberi gambaran secara menyeluruh tentang implmenetasi strategi dakwah bil hal dalam program posdaya berbasis masjid. Mendeskripsikan permasalahan yang terjadi di masyarakat dan penanggulangannya melalui program lima pilar bidang POSDAYA. Jenis Penelitian adalah Kualitatif deskriptifdengan pengumpulan data melalaui wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi, analisis penelitian menggunakan analisis deskriftif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan Dakwah posdaya berbasis masjid dilaksanakan sejak tahun 2017 di Desa Sumurkondang Kecamatan Karangwareng Kabupaten Cirebon dengan mengoptimalkan perang masjid sebagai tempat sentra kegiatan, faktor pendukung dakwah posdaya berbasis masjid adalah asanya lingkaran-lingkaran kecil lima pilar yang bersinergi dalam mengelola masjid sebagai tempat segala kegiatan serta dukungan dari pemerintah, tokoh masyarakata, tokoh agama, dan tokoh pemuda termasuk majlis taklim. Adapun tantangan yang dihadapi adalah masih kurangnya sosialisasi dan pemahaman para pengurus masjid terhadap strategi Dakwah bil hal POSDAYA berbasis masjid. Untuk maksimalkan program Dakwah Posdaya berbasis masjid, maka dirumuskan berbagai kegaiatan yang mendukung program dakwah berbasis masjid seperti fungsi-fungsi dalam lima pilar, yaitu bidang pendididkan, bidang kesehatan, bidang ekonomi, bidang lingkungan dan bidang keagamaan.
