Salah satu sektor yang sangat terdampak akibat pandemic Covid-19 adalah pendidikan. Sistem pembelajaran daring yang terlalu lama menyebabkan banyak pelajar yang mengalami potensi learning loss. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan “Deteksi potensi learning loss pada siswa berkebutuhan khusus selama pembelajaran daring di masa pandemi Covid-19 di Sekolah Inklusif”. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kualitatif, dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi. Data yang diperoleh kemudian di olah transkripnya kemudian di kelompokkan. Hasil akhir didapat setelah dilakukan analisis dan interpretasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran daring yang diikuti oleh anak berkebutuhan khusus, berpotensi terjadinya learning loss. Sebagaimana telah terlihat deteksi learning loss pada anak berkebutuhan khusus yang ditandai dengan prestasi belajar anak yang menurun karena kurang minat belajar dirumah. Penuruan prestasi belajar anak berkebutuhan khusus, anak bersikap malas terlihat ketidak tepatan waktu dalam mengumpulkan tugas, adiksi internet, akses belajar yang tidak merata sehingga mengganggu psikologis dan psikososial anak.

Research on critical thinking skills has been frequently carried out, but it has not shown maximum results. This problem is exacerbated by the differences in pre-service teachers' academic abilities. A new learning model that can improve pre-service teachers' critical thinking skills and reduce the gap in critical thinking skills among the upper, middle, and lower academic ability pre-service teachers is needed. This research aims at exploring the potential of the QASEE learning model on the critical thinking skills of different academic ability. This quasi-experimental research involved 107 pre-service teachers of Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah, Indonesia. The research classes were divided into three classes, namely the QASEE class (experimental class), the RQA class (positive control class), and the conventional class (negative control class). Each class was further divided into upper, middle, and lower academic categories. The data were collected using an essay test supported by a critical thinking skill rubric. The data were analyzed by using ANCOVA and followed by LSD test. The research results show that the QASEE (Questioning, Answering, Sharing, Extending, and Evaluating) learning model can improve and equalize the critical thinking skills of pre-service teachers with various academic levels. Thus, the QASEE learning model can be used as a new reference to improve pre-service teachers' critical thinking skills, especially the lower academic ability.

The Covid-19 pandemic has made changes in various sectors of life in Indonesia, including education. The Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture issued a policy for the implementation of online learning. One of the factors that determine the success of online learning is the level of student self-regulated learning. Thus understanding the capabilities of SRL is essential for achieving successful education during this pandemic. This article presents data that explore the profiles of self-regulated learning in 1st-grade to 12th-grade students. Four aspects of self-regulated learning include planning, monitoring, controlling, and reflecting. Data retrieval is related to predictions of online learning success during Covid-19 mitigation. The sample consisted of 6571 students. The questionnaire was distributed to 61 schools (37 primary schools, 12 junior high schools, and 12 senior high schools) with an online survey in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The questionnaire was prepared in an online format using Google Form. This link was presented with an introductory sentence from the researcher and distributed to students through the respective principal. Students may only fill in a questionnaire once but were allowed to make changes in response. The collected data were selected to be valid and reliable using the Rasch model. Some data released are items that are not filled in, extremely low or high data. These data can be further processed with various statistical techniques such as Two-way, ANOVA, MANOVA, or Cluster Analysis following the intended in-depth analysis needs. The data will be useful for researchers, educational decision-makers, and education managers to improve online learning services and implementation that enhance student learning achievement.

Several previous researches reported that there was a positive correlation between metacognitive skills and cognitive learning results. However, some others reported otherwise. This is believed to be related to the learning model used. This research aimed at revealing the correlation between metacognitive skills and cognitive learning results of pre-service teachers taught by using QASEE and RQA learning models, as well as by using conventional learning, and comparing the regression equations of the three learnings. 107 biology pre-service teachers at Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah Palembang, Indonesia, were involved in this correlational study. Data were obtained by the essay test and were analyzed by simple linear regression analysis. The research result indicates that there is a significant correlation between metacognitive skills and cognitive learning results of the pre-service teachers taught by using the three learnings. It was also found that the regression equations uncovered at the three learnings was parallel and coincide. The contribution of metacognitive skills toward cognitive learning results uncovered in RQA learning model is the highest one among the three learnings preceded by that uncovered in QASEE learning model. This information is beneficial for lecturers in order to use the right learning model to empower pre-service teachers' metacognitive skills and cognitive learning results.

Creative thinking is used to solve problems that cannot be solved using conventional methods. Creative thinking refers to the ability to produce new and different concepts, solutions, or ideas (Sternberg, 2003). The thought process underlying creative answers is based on the person's skills, knowledge, understanding, motivation and emotions (Ferrari et al., 2009). In psychological research, creative thinking is usually defined as a process that leads to new, original, useful, and effective products. A creative mind is characterized by its flexibility that encourages someone to imagine innovative answers to a question (Runco & Jaeger, 2012).
