“…After students know the watershed problems in Batu City, students choose the proper conservation method to overcome these problems (Cook, 2019). When students can sum up the author's perspective on the watershed and the conservation challenges around it that are covered in learning activities, they can develop conclusion-making skills (Handoko et al, 2019;Rumalolas et al, 2021).…”

Learning geography plays a role in developing creative thinking and science process skills in students. Creative thinking and process science skills can be used in developing new methods and solutions to solve problems in geosphere phenomena using innovative perspectives. This study uses a quasi-experimental type with a Posttest Only Design. In this study, a purposive sample method was applied with two groups: the experimental group from science class 1 using SOLE and the control group from science class 3 using conventional methods. The instrument uses an essay test to measure the level of creative thinking ability and an observation sheet to measure the level of science process skills. The data analysis used was the Independent-Sample T Test and the Mann-Whitney U test with a significance level of 0.05. The SOLE model significantly affects watershed conservation materials' creative thinking and science process skills. The significance value of the Independent-Sample T-Test of creative thinking skills was 0.001 0.05, and the significance value of the Mann-Whitney U Test of science process skills was 0.000 0.05. The internet's investigative process provides information and mindset in scientific concepts in predicting damage/problems and watershed conservation efforts. In addition, the internet investigation process helps students obtain various literacy and information.

“…Testing English essay writing skills for students of the Informatics Engineering study program via zoom with a time span of 1 hour so that test activities can still be supervised then students must send the test results to Google Classroom which has been determined by the timeframe. This means that if students are late in submitting test results, they will not be able to send test results to Google Classroom (Handoko & Antaridha, 2019).…”

The Informatics Engineering Study Program at Mitra Karya University Bekasi has two English courses given in semesters 1 and 3. In semester I, students study English which is directed at understanding grammatical and vocabulary in the field of Informatics Engineering. Students must be able to write a minimum of three paragraphs about their field. Learning to write essays is also aimed at mastering thesis abstract writing. Writing is one aspect of productive language skills. For this reason, the principle of teaching writing is how to make students have sufficient competence in an effort to produce good writing skills in students. However, the process of learning to write English essays is not as easy as expected so far. Students still experience many difficulties in writing essays, this causes the quality of the content of their English essays to be not optimal. Even though it is known that students should be able to react critically when reading an essay text that is presented either on a website, newspaper, magazine, or book. This study uses an experimental method and a quantitative approach, while the data collection technique is carried out by means of observation, tests and documentation, so the results of this study explain that from the results of the description of descriptive statistical data it is known that the average value of students who learn to write English essays using metacognitive strategies had an average score of 81.5 higher than students who studied with cognitive strategies.

This empirical study explored high school Economics teachers’ curriculum implementation practices in South Africa. The research focused on a sample of three Economics teachers purposefully selected from three schools in the Northern Cape province. Drawing on the theoretical framework of Mediated Learning Experience (MLE) and adopting a qualitative approach, the study employed a case study design.To get insight on the Economics teachers’ curriculum practices, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis were used to generate data from the selected high school Economics teachers. Braun and Clarke’s six steps of thematic analysis were followed in analysing the triangulated data. The study findings indicate that some Economics teachers’ practices on instructional planning, selection of resources, feedback, and reflective practices promoted meaningful learning. The study concludes that although there are pockets of effective curriculum implementation practices by Economics teachers, there is a need to continue with in-service teacher training to enhance the teachers’ curriculum implementation practices. The study recommends that Economics teachers should form Professional Learning Communities where they learn and share good practices to provide teachers with continuous in-service training on how to plan lessons that cater for diverse learners’ needs. This study contributes to the scholarship by providing insights into how teachers’ curriculum practices can be enhanced both at pre-service and in-service levels to improve teacher effectiveness and efficiency. Furthermore, the study forms the basis on which further research on Economics teachers’ curriculum implementation practices on a more representative scale can be conducted.
