Creative thinking is an essential skill in learning for students. Students can think creatively by showing new ways of thinking, daring to compile questions and likely answers, and giving new ideas. In addition, this study aims to analyses creative thinking skills using a series of image media. This research uses descriptive qualitative research with a case study model. The subjects of this study were grade III students numbering 50 students. This research method uses interviews to follow up on these findings. Interviews were conducted to find out the problems that occurred. The interview used is structured. Data analyses in this study used the theory of Miles and Huberman. The results of the overall research and creative thinking skills in writing essays with series image media still have to be re-evaluated. The students seemed to have trouble getting ideas into narrative-based writing. This will result in learning to write narratives that are hampered. In general, it is proven that more than half of the sample numbers of students still do not meet the four aspects of creative thinking indicators, so it will undoubtedly hinder the learning process in the classroom, especially related to writing skills. This research implies that it is hoped that all stakeholders will be able to realize the importance of creative thinking skills early by training students using series image media or others.

The background of this study is that there are still many students who carry out disruptive activities during the learning process. Disruptive behaviour in the classroom can adversely affect the learning process and affect the performance of students, teachers, and the class as a whole. This study is aim to analyse teacher's strategies and student preferences regarding disruptive behaviour in elementary school students. This method uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. The subjects included students and teachers of grade 4 at elementary school. The data collection techniques are using observation and interviews. The data analysis techniques include data reduction, data display, and data verification. The results of this study show that the teacher's strategy in overcoming disruptive behaviour uses three approaches, namely behavioristic, cognitive, and humanistic. Student preference in dealing with disruptive behaviour lies in the problem of learning styles that must be adapted to the way teachers teach their students. This has implications going forward so that in the learning process, teachers can use a variety of learning approaches in order to minimize disruptive behaviour by students in the classroom. If disruptive behaviour is ignored, it will be difficult to overcome it later.

The 2013 curriculum is oriented towards producing quality students who are rooted in the nation's culture and are developed based on a global perspective. The process of making alcoholic beverages, is one example of integration elements of natural science and local wisdom as a form of cultural preservation. However the school still have lack of references and sensitivity to efforts to explore the local wisdom activities of the community, especially in the alcohol-making process. This research aims to analyse the ethno science study on the alcohol-making process in natural science learning in elementary schools. This study used a qualitative approach and is included in the ethno science research type. The data source in this study was determined through a purposive sampling technique, with two alcohol makers as the subjects. These research’s objects consisted of the alcohol-making process and ethnoscience studies in alcohol making process in natural science learning in elementary schools, which were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation. The analysis technique employed was the Miles and Huberman model (data reduction, presentation, and verification). The results uncovered that the alcohol-making process it is associated with natural science learning materials in elementary schools, it relates to phase transition, convection (heat transfer), conductors, and energy sources.

The cooperative ability and cognitive learning outcomes of students in Ambon City still need to improve. The results of students learning science evidence this. The solution that can be done is to use learning models that can stimulate the development of students' cooperative and cognition abilities, one of which is group investigation. This study aims to analyze the relationship between cooperative abilities and cognitive learning outcomes in science learning with the GI cooperative model. The type of research used is correlational, with a sample of 50 people. The data collection instruments used in this study included questionnaires on students' collaboration abilities and cognitive learning outcomes test instruments—data analysis using simple linear regression. The results showed the sufficient category was the relationship between cooperative abilities and students' cognitive learning outcomes in science content learning the life cycle material with the Group Investigation type cooperative model. It was also revealed that the contribution of the cooperative ability variable to cognitive learning outcomes proves that GI contributes to students' cooperative abilities and cognitive learning outcomes.

The learning outcomes of social studies subjects obtained by students were not as expected. In order to solve this problem it is requires learning model and appropriate media to support social studies in grade V MI students. The purpose of the study was to analyses the efficacy of employing pop-up book medium in the snowball-throwing learning paradigm for fifth-grade MI students' social studies learning outcomes. This study utilizes quantitative research using a proper experimental design and a pre- and post-test control group design. 50 fifth-grade students participated in this study, 20 in the treatment group and 20 in the control group. In this study, the independent variable (X) is the pop-up book media and the snowball-throwing learning model, while the dependent variable (Y) is students of V grade MI learning results. This study's data analysis approach utilized a precondition test, specifically the initial and final normality tests, to determine whether or not the data were normally distributed, while the hypothesis test employed a one-sided T test. The results show that there are differences in student learning outcomes in the experimental class using pop-up book media in the snowball throwing learning model compared with the control class using conventional learning methods.

Dance learning in elementary schools is starting to be neglected, there are even schools that don't teach dance, especially in the form of practice. This is because the teacher has difficulty choosing a dance learning model that is systematic and easy to use. The purpose of this study was to analyses the validity, practicality and effectiveness of the TAGUNTA learning model (Dance using Stories) in Elementary Schools. This research is a type of development research (Research and Development). Following the product development steps proposed by Borg & Gall. Research data collection techniques and instruments in the form of qualitative and quantitative data consisting of preliminary study data, validity test, practicality test and product effectiveness test. To see the feasibility of the model, validity tests were carried out by four experts, practicality tests by teachers and students and effectiveness tests through student learning outcomes tests. The results of this study indicate that the TAGUNTA Learning Model in Elementary Schools that the researchers developed has been tested to be able to overcome the problems of learning dance in elementary schools. The feasibility of the TAGUNTA learning model is evidenced by the results of the validity test with an overall average score in the very valid category, a practicality test with an overall average score in the practical category, and an effectiveness test with an overall average score in the category very effective. Thus, it can be concluded that the TAGUNTA Learning Model that the researchers developed is valid, practical, effective, and appropriate for use in teaching dance in elementary schools.
