The emergence of the 4.0 industrial revolution requires university graduates to have 21st-century thinking skills that can support them to compete globally. However, the low 21st-century thinking skills of prospective teachers in the group of ways of thinking (critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision making) make the learning process should be able to train and develop these thinking skills. One way to train prospective teachers' 21st-century thinking skills is through the textbooks used in lectures. This study aims to develop textbooks based on socioscientific issues on the topic of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study used the RD research method with ADDIE design which is composed of 5 stages: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. textbooks were applied at the implementation stage by involving second-semester prospective teachers who contract Environmental Knowledge courses. The instruments used in this study included textbook validation sheets and essay tests. The validation results were analyzed using descriptive analysis, while the essay test results were analyzed using SPSS. The results of the study showed that the socioscientific issues-based textbooks on the SDGs topic received a very good expert assessment and had met the standards of the appropriateness of the content, language, graphics, presentation, and socioscientific issues. Prospective teachers' 21st-century thinking skills in the group of the way of thinking  also improved significantly after using socioscientific issues-based textbooks. These indicated that the textbooks which have been developed were effective in practicing the 21st-century thinking skills of prospective teachers.

Artificial intelligence in the fourth industrial revolution is beginning to live up to its promises of delivering real value necessitated by the availability of relevant data, computational ability, and algorithms. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the influence of artificial intelligence on the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals with a direct focus on poverty reduction, goal one, industry, innovation, and infrastructure development goal 9, in emerging economies. Using content analysis, the result pointed to the fact that artificial intelligence has a strong influence on the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals particularly on poverty reduction, improvement of the certainty and reliability of infrastructure like transport making economic growth and development possible in emerging economies. The results revealed that Artificial intelligence is making poverty reduction possible through improving the collection of poverty-related data through poverty maps, revolutionizing agriculture education and the finance sector through financial inclusion. The study also discovered that AI is also assisting a lot in education, and the financial sector allowing the previously excluded individuals to be able to participate in the mainstream economy. Therefore, it is important that governments in emerging economies need to invest more in the use of AI and increase the research related to it so that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to innovation, infrastructure development, poverty reduction are attained.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a continuation of the Melenial Development Goals (MDGs) as joint development ambitions in the period of 2015 to 2030. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have 17 development goals with 169 targets, one of which is to ensure the quality of education inclusive and equitable for all levels. Quality education in this case is intended to ensure that all children, both girls and boys, can complete quality basic education and lead to relevant and effective education.Improving the quality of education carried out by the government aims to prepare alpha generations so that they can compete with other countries in the future. The preparation starts from early childhood education which is taken by children aged 0-6 years who tend to think in a concrete way. The need for learning media to explain something abstract and can be understood by early childhood. Therefore interesting media is highly recommended as an alternative in learning. However, in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 has not been optimally entered into all fields including education. In this decade there emerged technological development innovations that could be used in education, especially for the Early Childhood Education. Augmented Reality is a technology that has been developed by Programmers to improve the quality of Indonesian education. Seeing the problems and opportunities that are being experienced by the development of education in Indonesia, through the technology of Augmented Reality developed an application called the Pengenalan Buah dan Binatang that can be used as a medium of learning that involves and trains the senses in early childhood. According to research conducted by the British Audio Visual Association shows that 75% of people obtain information from visual, 13% from hearing audio, 6% from touch and touch, and 6% from kiss/tongue. It also needs support and cooperation between children, parents and the community to foster cooperation in the face of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era.
