Pre-service teachers need creative thinking and problem solving skills to support their teaching quality. The aims of this research: (1) problems in science teaching, creative thinking and problem solving skills of pre-service teachers; (2) improvements of creative thinking and problem solving skills of pre-service teachers through Ethno-SETSaR Science Teaching Approach, and (3) relationship pattern of critical thinking and problem solving skills. The research method applied in this study was sequential exploratory mix method. The research design consisted of five stages: 1) qualitative data gathering; 2) qualitative data analysis; 3) quantitative data gathering; 4) quantitative data analysis and 5) data interpretation. The subjects of this research were 80 pre-service teachers from two universities. The research instruments were essay tests of creative  and problem solving skills. The data analysis used was independent T Test. It could be concluded from qualitative study that science teaching practice was still oriented on content knowledge mastery. It did not improve creative thinking and problem solving skills. Science teaching with Ethno-SETSaR approach was applied as foundation to quantitative study. The result of quantitative study was there was difference in creative thinking and problem solving skills of pre-service teachers. The pre-service teachers enrolling science teaching with Ethno-SETSaR approach had higher scores. There was correlation of creative thinking affecting problem solving skills.

Assessment of problem-solving skills for preservice teachers is important in science instruction. The purpose of this study is to discover; (a) How are the characteristics of the Problem-Solving Essay Test Instrument (PSETI); (b) How is the validity based on experts assessment; (c) how are the validity and reliability based on trials. The research method is research and development. The study covers three stages, those are (1) planning the test, (2) trying out the test, (3) determining the validity, and the reliability. The sample of this study was 80 preservice elementary school teachers of basic science concepts. The PSETI is in the form of an essay test, consisting of 19 items. The essay test contains ethnoscience problems. Content validity based on the Aiken index is 0.84 with a good validity level. The results of the development of the PSETI instrument show 19 items met the validity and reliability of the 21 items/ compiled. The PSETI is an essay test with the scoring which is using a partial credit model based on the three categories in the polytomous data. Instrument reliability was 0.77 and it was concluded that the instruments were good to measure problem-solving skills of preservice teachers in science learning context ethnoscience.

Today, science is often regarded as a discipline that is more theoretical and less applicable. It is not clear how science works in society. The problems examined in this literature review are how the development of research on the integration of science, technology, and entrepreneurship in science learning in addition to how bibliometric networks and learning research trends integrate science, technology, and entrepreneurship. The search for articles using the Publish or Perish software was carried out on December 18, 2020. The data generated was in the form of metadata extracted from Google Scholar and Scopus through the API key, with the keyword science learning, STS, STEM, STEAM, and entrepreneurship from 2015-2020. As the result, 851 article was downloaded with their metadata which is stored in ris and tidied up in the delay. The data that has been obtained is excluded from proceedings, theses, book chapters, modules, theses, reports, and comments. Visualization with VOSviewer is carried out in three visualizations, namely network, overlay, and density. The results of the analysis show that the dominant topics are educational technology and environmental science. Research trends in 2020 are PjBL, entrepreneurship, and STEM. The less researched topics are the relationship between learning outcomes and entrepreneurship, and science technology.
