<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the implementation of Small Group Discussion in developing students' collaboration and creativity competencies, as well as to identify obstacles and effective strategies that can support the success of this method. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with field research methods. This approach was chosen to deeply understand the implementation of Small Group Discussion in developing students' collaboration and creativity competencies. The results of this study indicate that the Small Group Discussion Method at SMPN 1 VII Koto Sungai Sariak has great potential in developing students' Collaboration and Creativity competencies, although it still faces challenges such as the dominance of certain students, lack of self-confidence, and limited time and resources. More specific and structured planning is needed to maximize student engagement, while implementation shows increased collaboration in sharing tasks and providing feedback, although contributions within the group are still uneven. Students' creativity begins to develop through original ideas, but the elaboration of ideas requires technical support such as brainstorming and technology. Evaluation with assessment rubrics and joint reflection helps identify students' strengths and weaknesses. With intensive guidance, fair task-sharing strategies, and technology integration, this method can be optimized to create more collaborative and creative learning.]]>
