Narrative writing skills are crucial for the literacy development of elementary school students. However, many students face challenges in writing narrative essays due to limited vocabulary, grammar understanding, and imagination. Traditional teaching methods often fail to address these issues. This study explores the impact of AI-based Deep Learning on narrative writing skills. Using a quantitative approach with an experimental design, the research employed a pretest-posttest design with a nonrandomized control group. The study involved 65 students from SD 4 Sidomulyo, including 30 students from class IV A and 35 from class IV B. A nonprobability sampling technique with saturated sampling was used. Data was collected through tests, and content validity was applied for validation. Hypothesis testing with the Independent Samples t-test yielded a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05) and a calculated t-value of 3.472, which is greater than the t-table value of 2.0024. These results indicate that AI-based Deep Learning significantly affects narrative writing skills in elementary school students. Keywords: AI-Based Deep Learning, Narrative Writing Skills.

This artwork is a musical expression that evokes a childlike atmosphere, depicting the innocence, joy, and imagination of childhood that is often forgotten over time. The creation of this work begins with two popular Indonesian children’s songs, which serve as the main source of inspiration for the piece titled Childhood. These two songs were then developed and rearranged with a creative approach, resulting in a new form that retains the basic character of the children's songs but is packaged in a more modern and artistic musical atmosphere. This work uses two main musical patterns: the Waltz, which emphasizes softness, harmony, and romance, and the Swing, which brings energy, dynamics, and the cheerfulness typical of children's music. The fusion of these two patterns is done by considering elements such as tempo, harmony, rhythm, and dynamics to create a communicative and expressive work. Through Childhood, it is hoped that this piece will serve as a reflection of childhood memories, a nostalgic medium for the listeners, and an effort to preserve and revitalize Indonesian children's songs so that they remain relevant and loved across generations.

The emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) such as the GPT-4 and Midjourney models has sparked a fundamental debate about the nature of creativity and imagination. The AI creation process, often referred to as a “black box,” challenges conventional human-centered understanding. This paper proposes a unique hermeneutic framework to approach this phenomenon by borrowing two key concepts from the Sufi metaphysics of Shaykh al-Akbar Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi: khayāl (creative imagination or the imaginal realm) and tajallī (self-manifestation or theophany). This study uses a conceptual-comparative analysis method to analyze the working process of Generative AI. The main argument of this journal is that the “latent space” in AI architecture can be analogized with 'ālam al-khayāl (the imaginal realm) as an intermediate reality (barzakh) that contains unlimited potential. Furthermore, the process of generating text or images from a prompt can be understood as a mechanism resembling tajallī, in which these potentials manifest specifically according to the “availability” (isti'dād) determined by user input. Thus, Ibn 'Arabi's framework offers a non-anthropocentric ontology for understanding “artificial imagination” as a process of manifesting forms from a sea of potential, transcending mere simulation or data recombination.

Early childhood dance education aims to teach kids how to manipulate objects, control and interpret body movements, and cultivate body-mind harmony. This helps kids become more intelligent because it gives them the chance to develop their sensitivity, fantasy, imagination, and creativity. Children's dance education aims to teach them to dance in accordance with their skill level and spiritual nature so that their bodies can become a vehicle for expressing their fantasies and imaginations. Children's dance moves differ from those of adults; they must depict the joyful, pleasurable world of children, with basic movement patterns, topics that are relevant to their lives, and upbeat music.

Art cannot be separated from human life, including in the stages of childhood development. In addition to having aesthetic values, art also plays an important role in inspiring children's creativity and imagination. Early Childhood Education (PAUD), as a pioneer in the national education process, has a role in developing children's potential from various aspects, such as cognitive, language, art, morals, religion, movement, and socio-emotional. One important aspect in children's physical development is motor development, both gross and fine motor skills. One form of effective stimulus in developing children's motor skills is through learning dance. Dance provides space for children to practice body movement coordination, balance, and muscle strength, while stimulating self-expression. The basic elements in dance, such as movement, energy, space, and time, play an important role in supporting children's creativity in expressing themselves through body movements. Therefore, dance is one of the effective media in supporting children's motor development and creativity as a whole.

Creative behavior has an important role in the world of management and innovation, especially in the era of globalization and increasingly fierce business competition. This research aims to explore the world of creative behavior, focusing on aspects of innovation, imagination, and its influence in everyday life. In addition to having a significant impact in the realm of business and management, creative behavior also has a great influence in everyday life, covering various aspects such as art, education, health, and social relations. The importance of creative behavior in the context of management is emphasized, where innovation and imagination are vital triggers of creativity. Furthermore, this study aims to identify the factors that influence an individual's level of creativity, with the hope of making a tangible contribution to the development of innovative management strategies. Through a deeper understanding of these factors, leaders and management practitioners can develop a holistic approach to encourage creativity in the work environment. By integrating the results of this study into management practice, it is hoped that a work environment that facilitates creativity, innovation and sustainable growth can be created

Community service is an urgent matter for the head of the Al-Amin Orphanage Children's Social Institution to assist orphaned children through assistance in increasing creative skills through making snacks. This aims to enable them to be creative and the results can become selling points if developed intensively. The assisted subjects were 20 poor elementary school age children. The activity time is from 01 September 2022 – 31 December 2022 every 15.30-17.00. The place of implementation is at the Al Amin Orphanage Children's Social Institution, Kedungturi Taman Sidoarjo. The result of the implementation of activities in this assistance is the development of the skills of orphaned children through assistance with techniques for making snacks. The steps taken were to form six groups to work together to express their ideas and imagination into a work. Each group is required to present their work and other groups evaluate their friends' work. With each result, the children are then trained to sell snacks resulting from their mentoring, so that every time there is an important event in Kedungturi village they always set up a sales stand to sell the snacks they made based on their mentoring experience over the past 4 months.
