History learning in elementary schools plays an important role in shaping students' understanding of past events and instilling national values. However, the conventional approach that is still widely applied often results in low student interest and participation in history learning. This article aims to analyze various interactive and creative methods in history learning in elementary schools through a literature review. Interactive methods, such as group discussions, role-playing, and the use of digital media, as well as creative methods, such as storytelling, concept maps, and exploration-based projects, have been shown to increase student engagement and deeper understanding of historical concepts. Various studies have shown that the application of these methods not only increases students' learning motivation but also develops critical, analytical, and collaborative thinking skills. In addition, the use of technology such as educational applications and historical simulations further enriches students' learning experiences, making them more contextual and relevant to everyday life. However, the application of this method still faces challenges, such as limited resources, teacher readiness, and support from the school environment. Therefore, an appropriate implementation strategy is needed, including teacher training and the provision of adequate learning facilities. This literature review is expected to provide insight for educators and researchers in developing more effective and interesting history learning methods for elementary school students.    

This study examines the digital transformation of the creative arts industry, focusing on how technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) have altered the creation and marketing of artworks. Digital platforms have expanded market access for artists, opened new opportunities for more efficient business models with lower costs, and created greater possibilities for cross-disciplinary collaboration. In this context, digital technologies allow artists to reach a global audience and sell their works in more innovative and interactive formats, increasing audience participation in the creative process. However, these developments also face significant challenges, such as increasingly intense competition, rapidly shifting trends, and limitations in resources to optimally implement these technologies. Furthermore, while there are significant opportunities in the global market, some artists in Indonesia still face difficulties in accessing and utilizing the latest technologies. With the creative economy contributing 7.16% to Indonesia's GDP in 2018, this study aims to provide an overview of the dynamics of the arts industry in the digital era and explore potential strategies to support the development of a more adaptable creative ecosystem. These strategies include digital training, strengthening cross-sector collaboration, and enhancing digital infrastructure to facilitate the future growth of the creative arts industry.

This study aims to analyze the teaching and learning process of Natural Sciences (IPA) on the topic of the universe in Class VI at SD Negeri 101866 Batang Kuis, Pekan. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the learning process adheres to the applicable curriculum, yet some abstract concepts in the universe material remain challenging for students to grasp. The teacher plays an active role in facilitating student understanding by employing a variety of teaching methods, including lectures, discussions, and demonstrations. However, the study reveals that these methods, while effective, may not fully engage students in the learning process. It is suggested that more innovative and student-centered strategies are necessary to foster greater student involvement and understanding. Additionally, the research indicates that the use of technology-based learning media could significantly enhance the students' learning experience by making abstract concepts more tangible. Furthermore, adopting a contextual learning approach, where students can connect the material to real-life situations, is recommended to increase student comprehension and retention. This study emphasizes the importance of adapting teaching methods to the evolving needs of students and integrating modern educational tools to make learning more interactive and meaningful. Ultimately, the study suggests that incorporating these strategies will improve the overall effectiveness of teaching Natural Sciences in elementary school classrooms.
