Metode Pembelajaran Kreatif untuk Guru Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

This study aims to identify creative learning methods that can be applied by elementary school teachers, and to evaluate their impact on student engagement and understanding. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation studies. Interviews were conducted with elementary school teachers who apply creative learning methods, such as educational games, group-based projects, and the use of interactive technology. Observations were conducted directly in the classroom environment to understand the effectiveness of the methods applied, as well as how these methods affect teacher and student interactions and student involvement in the learning process. The results of the study showed that creative learning methods were able to significantly increase student learning motivation and participation. Students became more active in the learning process and showed greater interest in the material being taught. In addition, creative methods help students to develop critical thinking skills, collaborate, and solve problems. However, this study also identified several obstacles, such as the need for special training for teachers, longer preparation time, and limited facilities in some schools. To optimize the implementation of creative learning methods, support is needed from schools and the government, including the provision of training for teachers and adequate facilities.
