Exploration: Creative Thinking Skills in Writing Essays Media-Based Image Series

2023-04-20T02:57:51+00:00

Creative thinking is an essential skill in learning for students. Students can think creatively by showing new ways of thinking, daring to compile questions and likely answers, and giving new ideas. In addition, this study aims to analyses creative thinking skills using a series of image media. This research uses descriptive qualitative research with a case study model. The subjects of this study were grade III students numbering 50 students. This research method uses interviews to follow up on these findings. Interviews were conducted to find out the problems that occurred. The interview used is structured. Data analyses in this study used the theory of Miles and Huberman. The results of the overall research and creative thinking skills in writing essays with series image media still have to be re-evaluated. The students seemed to have trouble getting ideas into narrative-based writing. This will result in learning to write narratives that are hampered. In general, it is proven that more than half of the sample numbers of students still do not meet the four aspects of creative thinking indicators, so it will undoubtedly hinder the learning process in the classroom, especially related to writing skills. This research implies that it is hoped that all stakeholders will be able to realize the importance of creative thinking skills early by training students using series image media or others.

2023-04-20T02:57:01+00:00

The problems that occur in the learning process for class III SLB B or deaf students originate from how the teacher conveys the material and the characteristics of the students. Teachers still teach in a simple method, so students get bored quickly. In the learning process, media is needed that prioritizes visuals to make it easier for students to capture the material presented by the teacher. This study aims to develop android-based gamification learning media on Civics theme 8 material. This research uses the Research and Development (RnD) method using the ADDIE approach. The participants in this study were 20 students of class III SLB B. The process of collecting data with interviews, questionnaires, and observation. At the same time, the instruments used are questionnaires and tests. Data analysis technique using SPSS with independent t-test. The result is that Android-based gamification media can be used in the learning process. In the experimental class, the average post-test score is 9.10, while in the control class is 8.00. Based on these values, the use of Android-based gamification learning media in the experimental class increased students' understanding of Civics compared to the control class, which did not use gamification learning media. Thus, gamification has a positive influence on increasing student understanding.

Disruptive behaviour in the classroom can adversely affect the learning process and affect the performance of students, teachers, and the class as a whole. This study is aim to analyse teacher's strategies and student preferences regarding disruptive behaviour in elementary school students. This method uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. The subjects included students and teachers of grade 4 at elementary school. The data collection techniques are using observation and interviews. The data analysis techniques include data reduction, data display, and data verification. The results of this study show that the teacher's strategy in overcoming disruptive behaviour uses three approaches, namely behavioristic, cognitive, and humanistic. Student preference in dealing with disruptive behaviour lies in the problem of learning styles that must be adapted to the way teachers teach their students. This has implications going forward so that in the learning process, teachers can use a variety of learning approaches in order to minimize disruptive behaviour by students in the classroom. If disruptive behaviour is ignored, it will be difficult to overcome it later.
