This classroom action research investigates the effectiveness of the Round Robin cooperative learning model in improving the motivation and creativity of learning science among Grade IV students at UPT SDN Unjuruiya No. 45, Selayar Islands. The study was conducted to address students’ low engagement, limited participation, and insufficient creative expression during IPAS lessons. The research involved 12 students (6 male and 6 female) and was implemented in two cycles, each consisting of three meetings—two for instructional activities and one for assessing learning creativity. Data were collected through observation, learning motivation assessments, and creativity evaluations. Findings indicate a significant improvement in student learning outcomes following the implementation of the Round Robin model. In Cycle I, only 5 students (42%) achieved the creative category, while 7 students (58%) remained in the non-creative category. However, after refinement and continued application in Cycle II, the number of students achieving the creative category increased substantially to 11 students (92%), leaving only 1 student (8%) in the non-creative category. These results demonstrate that the Round Robin model effectively enhances student motivation, encourages active participation, and supports the development of creativity in science learning. Overall, the study concludes that cooperative learning through Round Robin provides a meaningful and engaging instructional alternative capable of improving both motivational and creative learning aspects in elementary science classrooms.

The use of artificial intelligence technology in elementary education is becoming increasingly relevant as teachers demand to develop creative and efficient teaching materials. Problems faced by fifth-grade elementary school teachers include limited time, a variety of ideas, and reliance on conventional methods in developing teaching materials, resulting in suboptimal learning creativity.

This study investigates the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model integrated with animated video media to enhance student motivation, creativity, and learning outcomes in economics at MA Salafiyah. Employing a classroom action research approach with a pretest-posttest design, the research involved 35 grade XI students. Data were collected through observation sheets, motivation and creativity questionnaires, and learning outcome tests. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to assess data normality, while the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test evaluated the significance of differences between pretest and posttest scores. The findings reveal that the application of PBL with animated video media significantly improves student motivation, creativity, and learning outcomes. Students demonstrated increased engagement, generated more creative ideas, and showed deeper understanding of economic concepts. Motivation was reflected in higher posttest scores and active participation, while creativity was evident in the ability to propose innovative solutions and think critically. Learning outcomes improved substantially, with average scores rising from 46.142 (pretest) to 83.571 (posttest). The integration of animated video media in PBL created a dynamic and interactive learning environment that facilitated comprehension, stimulated interest, and encouraged practical application of knowledge. This study concludes that PBL supported by animated video media is an effective pedagogical strategy for improving educational quality in economics learning.

The purpose of this study was to understand the effect of using Canva-based learning media on the creativity of eleventh-grade students in economics. The background of this study stems from the low level of student learning creativity caused by the minimal use of innovative and engaging media in the learning process. Creativity is an important aspect in economics learning because it encourages students to think critically, create solutions, and understand abstract concepts more contextually. Static and monotonous learning media such as blackboards and textbooks often do not sufficiently stimulate student interest and participation. Therefore, a more interactive and visual approach is needed, one of which is using Canva. Canva is an online graphic design platform that allows teachers and students to easily create presentations, infographics, and other visual materials. Using Canva in learning can provide a more enjoyable learning experience and motivate students to be actively involved. This study used a quantitative method with a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design. Data analysis was carried out by comparing creativity scores before and after treatment. Student creativity was measured using a test instrument that included aspects of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The study subjects were 34 11th-grade students at SMAN 1 Tulungagung. The results showed a significant difference in scores between the pretest and posttest results, indicating that the use of Canva-based learning media had a positive impact on increasing student creativity. Students became more active in expressing ideas, more daring to experiment with concepts, and better able to present learning outcomes visually and attractively. These findings support constructivism theory, which states that effective learning occurs when students actively construct knowledge through meaningful experiences.
