This study examines students' resistance and arguing behavior towards teachers in the learning process. The purpose is to identify the causative factors and their impact on the effectiveness of learning. The results of the study show that the disputing behavior can be caused by a lack of motivation, disagreement with teaching methods, or personal problems that affect the emotional state of students. This behavior can disrupt the focus of other students and prevent the teacher from delivering the material effectively. Therefore, good cooperation between teachers and students is needed to create a conducive learning atmosphere. An approach that emphasizes awareness, empathy and responsibility for students is important in overcoming this problem.

This research aims to explore the impact of creativity in teaching methods on student learning outcomes. In this research, a qualitative approach with literature analysis is used as a method. The data taken comes from scientific studies relevant to the topic. Research findings show that teacher creativity in the teaching process has a significant influence on student achievement in learning. The mismatch of teaching media with the material being taught causes a lack of creativity in teaching, which in turn results in student boredom and lack of interest in lessons. As a result, student achievement levels tend to be low. On the other hand, a creative teaching approach is able to create an interesting learning environment, increase student motivation, and support their understanding of the subject matter. Apart from that, teacher creativity can also stimulate students to think critically, creatively and innovatively. Therefore, it is important for teachers to continue to develop creativity in their teaching methods in order to improve student learning outcomes.

This study examines the strategies and implications of online learning for children with intellectual disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Children with special needs, including those with intellectual disabilities, require education tailored to their unique needs. This research uses a literature review method, prioritizing research articles published in the last 5 years to gather relevant data on distance learning and effective strategies for children with intellectual disabilities. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a shift from face-to-face to online learning, posing significant challenges for children with intellectual disabilities who have difficulty with logical thinking and require direct interaction to understand material. Online learning offers advantages such as time flexibility and the use of technology, but also has drawbacks such as a lack of direct interaction, resulting in a limited understanding of the material. Parents play a crucial role in supporting children during online learning, but they face challenges such as limited knowledge and motivation from the child. This study found that parents often struggle to explain material to their children and maintain their learning motivation. To overcome these obstacles, recommended strategies include the use of simple language, repetitive explanations, and real-life examples. Online learning also brings children and parents closer, allowing parents to better understand their child's nature and create a closer relationship. In conclusion, support from family and teachers is essential to enhancing the effectiveness of online learning for children with intellectual disabilities, and adapting appropriate strategies can help overcome various challenges encountered during the online learning process during the pandemic.
