Abstract

This study aims to analyze how extracurricular program management is implemented in enhancing students’ creativity in elementary schools. Creativity is an important aspect of the development of elementary school- aged children because it plays a role in fostering critical, innovative, and independent thinking skills. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, in- depth interviews with principals, extracurricular teachers, and students, as well as documentation studies. The findings indicate that effective management of extracurricular programs involves thorough planning, organization of human resources and facilities, implementation of varied activities based on students’ interests, and regular evaluations that encourage continuous program improvement. Extracurricular activities such as arts, sports, and science provide opportunities for students to express their creative ideas and build self- confidence. Challenges encountered include limited facilities, restricted time, and insufficient training for instructors. However, with support from schools and parental involvement, extracurricular programs can serve as an effective platform for developing students’ creativity. The conclusion of this study is that structured extracurricular program management, oriented toward the development of students’ potential, can make a significant contribution to enhancing creativity at the elementary school level.

Abstract

This study examines the application of deep learning-based digital media to improve reading literacy in grade I students at SB Kelana Jaya, Malaysia. In the midst of the challenge of low literacy comprehension in students, the use of digital media such as Kahoot and Canva offers great potential to improve reading comprehension in a more interactive way. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, this study collected data through observations, interviews, and literacy comprehension tests from principals, teachers, and students. The findings show that image and animation media significantly help students understand basic reading concepts, such as recognizing the alphabet, simple words, and sentences. The learning results showed that students who studied with digital media showed a better increase in reading literacy than those who used conventional methods. The integration of technology in creates a more adaptive and enjoyable learning atmosphere, which encourages active student engagement. This research highlights the urgency of implementing deep learning-based digital media in primary education to address literacy challenges and improve students' critical thinking skills in the context of 21st century education.
