Learning science is not only related to the acquisition of knowledge but also a process of discovery. Based on learning observations, it was known that the activities and cognitive learning outcomes of Science Education department students, Faculty of Education, Hasyim Asy’ari University Jombang still low. Alternative learning that can be done to improve the activities and cognitive learning outcomes of students was guided discovery learning. This research was Classroom Action Research (PTK) with two cycles were carried out in the second semester of the 2015/2016 academic year. The research instruments were students’ activities assessment sheet, cognitive learning outcomes assessment sheet, learning observation sheet, and questionnaire responses of students to the learning process. Qualitative data were analyzed descriptively and quantitative data were analyzed by comparing the percentage students’ activities and cognitive learning outcomes in the cycle I and the cycle II. The result of this research were the percentage of students’ activities increased from 61,30% to 71,68%. Average of cognitive learning outcomes has increased from 73.68 to 80.04 and the percentage of cognitive achievement increased from 68.18% to 81.81%. The conclusion of this research was the guided discovery learning can improve the students’ activities and cognitive learning outcomes.

In the teaching and learning process, an educator must be creative and can use engaging learning media. Learning media is expected to be able to help educators to deliver the subject matter well. Therefore, an educator (teacher) must have the minimum skills, proficiency, and expertise that meet specific standards and competencies. One of the gifts is content knowledge. Content Knowledge (CK) is the initial ability of an educator that should be mastered in mastering learning material (understanding of material concepts). To master the ability of good content knowledge in science teacher candidates, one can see from the students' ability to create and compile learning media. This study aims to: determine (1) the ability of content knowledge of science teacher candidates in making learning media based on indicators, and (2) the significance of content knowledge of science teacher candidates in making learning media. The research method used is a quantitative description. The research subjects were 15 students of the Science Education Study Program in the academic year 2018. The research instrument used was the content knowledge assessment sheet. The results showed that: (a) the ease of media used 75.73% (good category), the suitability of the media with the characteristics of students 77.53% (good), the accuracy of the media with the material and learning objectives 73% (good), and the attractiveness of the media 80.67 % (well). It also showed that (b) there is a significant difference in students' content knowledge in making learning media with significant value (2-tailed) 0,05, which is 0,000.

Indonesia is currently entering the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Mid-century (digital revolution) was marked by a combination of technology and blurring of physical, digital space lines. Changes in the world in the era of the Industrial revolution which is so fast certainly provide demands for progress. Islamic boarding schools or Islamic boarding schools are one of the Islamic education in Indonesia. The reform and reconstruction of Islamic education and its institutions seems to need to be carried out immediately, especially looking at the development of the world which requires that every Islamic education institution be it Islamic boarding schools or madrasas to continue to improve themselves if they do not want to be abandoned by their interested ones. The inclusive attitude of Islamic education in this context is very necessary. inclusiveness becomes very important given that however, Islamic education institutions cannot isolate themselves from the dynamics that occur outside themselves. Era of Industrial Revolution 4.0 (hereinafter: Era 4.0) has an unimportant impact. It affects all aspects of human life. Included in this case is education. This era was marked by the increasingly central role of cyber technology in human life. The challenges of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era are very complex. Not to mention in the world of education, all have already converted in the digital world. If in the past it was quite a manual, old-fashioned, primitive system, now everything must be completely cyber. Examples of e-library (digital library), e-learning (digital learning), e-books (online books).

English has been well-known as the global language since the last three decades. English is not only as a mean of international communication but as a tool to gain and exchange information as well. Therefore, English becomes the language taught the most in school. Learning language cannot be separated from language skills. Mastering 4 skills of language is important to be acknowledge as Language master. However, many students have difficulties in mastering the language skills, speaking especially. This condition may occur because of different reasons. The result of preliminary study showed that the students of XI MIPA 5 at SMA Negeri 4 Malang had lower score in speaking compared to other language skills. It was because they got difficulty in developing idea of what to say which then made them having no confidence in speaking. Moreover, they were also afraid of making mistake. Therefore, this Action Research was employed as the research design to improve the students’ ability in speaking. The subjects of this study were students of XI MIPA 5 science class which consists of 33 students. The research findings showed that the use of picture cards has progressively improved the students’ speaking ability proven by the improvement of their speaking score. There were 87.87% students could improve their score by at least 5 points. Using picture cards as teaching media helped the students to have a betterment of speaking skill. The result of the observation checklist and field note showed that using picture cards media in teaching cause and effect made students easier in understanding the material which then it helps them easier in doing the speaking performance.

This study aims to determine the differences in students' reading interest in biology learning models based on remap CIRC, GI, and TGT. It is a quasi-experiment implemented in Public High School N of Malang, Indonesia and Public High School S of Malang, Indonesia in the odd semester of 2014/2015. The research population was all students of 10th grade of Public High School of Malang, Indonesia. The sampling technique was random sampling.  The research sample consisted of 10th-grade science 1 of Public High School N of Malang, Indonesia, 10th-grade science 2 of Public High School N of Malang Indonesia, and 10th-grade science 1 of Public High School S of Malang, Indonesia as an experiment group; and 10th-grade science 3 of Public High School N of Malang, Indonesia as a control group. The analysis was carried out in a quantitative. The result showed that the CIRC  remapping learning model had the greatest influence on students' reading interest compared to GI and TGT. The students’ reading interest scores using remap CIRC, GI, and TGT models were 82.90, 76.23, and 80.49. Remap CIRC, GI, and TGT model should be applied in biology learning because it can empower students' reading interest.
