2024-01-31T21:11:53+00:00

The significance of habits of mind in achieving student success was contrasted with the low level of students' habits of mind in biology learning. TPACK is a 21^st-century learning approach that has the potential to improve students' habits of mind. However, this was not followed by biology teachers' mastery of TPACK, which was relatively low. So far, there has been no research that examines the role of TPACK on students' habits of mind in biology learning. This paper aims to find out the potential and implementation of TPACK-based biology learning in improving students' habits of mind. The method used was a Systematic literature review with 20 sample international and national articles. Access to digital resources enriches students' ideas and supports the development of critical thinking, creativity, and self-regulation skills. In this way, teachers are expected to not only increase their knowledge of content and pedagogy but also integrate technology into learning, allowing students to gain more meaningful knowledge. The form of implementing this technology integration can be in the form of learning media or learning assessments. What was found in this writing is that students' habits of mind can be formed through classroom learning, one of which is the TPACK approach. Recommendations for choosing more diverse biological material were also proposed in this paper so that learning becomes more dynamic, contextual, and then students' habits of mind are achieved.

Think Pair Square Style Cooperative Education encourages each student to become a proficient and independent learner. Given that this learning emphasizes 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork. It was such as necessary to assess how effectively the application of this method enhances students' critical thinking abilities in the real world. The objective of this project is to improve student cooperation in cell biology classes by implementing a cooperative learning model similar to the Think Pair Square. The Classroom action research model was developed by Kemmis and McTaggar, which served as the framework for the procedure employed in this study. The outlines of the four stages of classroom action research are technique—planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. This instructional approach is seen to be beneficial as it enables students to share their thoughts and helps them see alternative problem-solving approaches. Students can seek explanations from other students to explain how to solve the problem if they are struggling with that. From the Data results, there were rising scores in the form of scoring that serve as evidence for this. Students' collaboration skills scored an average of 1.6 (level 1, or basic level) in the pre-cycle, 2 (level 2, or medium level), and 3.56 (level 3, or trained level) in cycle 2. Think Pair Square's implementation at SMA in Bandung could improve collaboration both within and outside of the classroom, foster more active dialogue and idea exchange, and promote student contact.
