Creative thinking skills are widely discussed in science education research, yet their conceptualization, pedagogical treatment, and measurement still show methodological diversity. This study systematically synthesizes recent studies on creative thinking skills in science education, focusing on learning strategies, learning media, and assessment instruments. A systematic literature review (SLR) using the PRISMA framework was conducted on 23 Scopus-indexed publications from 2019–2022. The results indicate that most studies position creative thinking skills as a learning outcome embedded in instructional innovation rather than as an independent construct. STEM-oriented learning, technology-assisted learning, problem-based learning, and inquiry-based learning are the most frequently explored contexts. However, the literature is dominated by qualitative and descriptive research, with limited comparative or experimental evidence. Variation in definitions and measurements also persists, often overlapping with related constructs such as critical thinking. Overall, this review reveals rich pedagogical innovation but limited methodological consistency and analytical rigor. The findings highlight the need for clearer construct boundaries, more robust research designs, and better alignment between learning strategies and validated instruments. This review contributes to mapping research patterns and identifying gaps for future empirical studies in creative thinking skills in science education

The quality of learning is a key indicator in determining the success of the educational process, especially at the elementary school level. Various factors contribute to the quality of learning, among them the strategic role of the principal in conducting academic supervision and the level of teacher work motivation. This article aims to analyze the influence of principal supervision and teacher work motivation on the quality of learning through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. This method is used to identify, assess, and synthesize the results of previous research relevant to the topic, with a publication range from 2019 to 2025. The search process for articles was conducted through Google Scholar using the keywords ‘the influence of principal supervision’, ‘teacher work motivation’, and ‘quality of learning’. The results of the study indicate that academic supervision carried out systematically, continuously, and participatively can enhance the professionalism and performance of teachers in learning. On the other hand, high work motivation of teachers, both intrinsic and extrinsic, significantly influences the improvement of work ethic, creativity, and enthusiasm in managing learning. Both complement each other and provide a real contribution to the improvement of the quality of learning. This research is expected to serve as a reference in formulating educational management strategies, especially in efforts to develop teachers and improve the quality of education in elementary schools.

One company undertaking such efforts is PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Ogan Komering (PHE OK), which manages a conservation area. This research involves observations in the conservation area to obtain current data (conditions and potential) and trends at the location, in order to formulate strategies for its protection and management. The study was conducted in the PHE OK conservation area in Peninjauan Village, Peninjauan District, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, South Sumatra Province. Data and analysis were performed using vegetation analysis methods, resulting in several parameters, including Density (K), Relative Density (KR), Frequency (F), Relative Frequency (FR), Dominance (D), Relative Dominance (DR), Importance Value Index (INP), Dominance Index (ID), Margalef Species Richness Index (R), Shannon Diversity Index (H'), and Pielou Evenness Index (E). The analysis results show a positive trend, with an increase in biodiversity values from low in 2022 to moderate currently. Additionally, the R value for seedling level is moderate, while it is low for saplings, poles, and trees. The E value for seedlings, saplings, poles, and trees all fall into the high species richness category. There has been an increase in each biodiversity indicator value compared to 2022, indicating that the protection efforts thus far have produced positive outcomes. However, more extensive enrichment is needed to achieve a significant increase in biodiversity

Mathematical literacy is the ability to use mathematical knowledge in real-life situations, making it an essential component of education because of its importance in solving everyday problems. Mathematical literacy is also part of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) global assessment. Because of the importance of the subject, this Systematic Literature Review (SLR) investigated the relationship between students’ mathematical literacy and their ability to solve mathematical problems. This SLR uses the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) approach was used, and articles published from January 2013 to August 2023 were obtained from databases including ERIC (342), ProQuest (1,329), and Scopus (27). Following PRISMA, a total of 20 articles were included in the review. Of the 20 articles, most were conducted on junior high school students in Turkey. The majority of reviewed studies found students to have a low level of mathematical literacy, which caused difficulties in formulating problems. The examined studies also revealed several internal and external factors affecting mathematical literacy. Problems used by PISA were the most frequently employed to measure students’ mathematical literacy in the reviewed studies.
