<![CDATA[A person's low interest in reading can result in a lack of information which causes knowledge to be less developed. This research aims to determine the intensity of short story reading and students' reading skills as well as the relationship between these two variables in class II students at 017 Public Elementary School Tanjungpinang Timur, Kepulauan Riau. Researchers use quantitative correlational research. The population used was 76 students in classes III/b and III/c with a sample of 64 students. The sampling technique uses a purposive sampling technique. The instruments used in data collection were performance and questionnaires. The data analysis technique used in this research is hypothesis testing using the Spearman rank correlation formula. The research results showed that the intensity of reading short stories was in the medium category, 43 students or around 64% of 64 students; the students' reading skills were in the medium category; and 38 students or around 59% of 64 students. Based on hypothesis test calculations using SPSS 25 software, a sig value was obtained. 0.000 < 0.05, then there is a correlation between variables so that H1 is accepted while H0 is rejected, thus indicating that there is a positive relationship between the intensity of reading short stories and students' reading skills. Schools are expected to empower students' reading skills through the habit of increasing reading intensity]]>

<![CDATA[The ability to think critically is a process of understanding and examining a problem or object by actively considering and evaluating statements and ideas that have meaningful value. This study aims to determine students' critical thinking skills in science subjects after being given treatment by applying lecture and question-and-answer methods with the help of video learning media. This research was conducted at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Muhammadiyah Klaseman Gatak. The study was conducted in November 2022. The research method used is pre-experimental—data analysis using a paired sample t-test. The instrument used in this study is a critical thinking ability test in the form of a description of 9 questions. Validation in this research instrument is expert validation and empirical validation. Expert validation was given to two expert lecturers, and empirical validation was given to 21 grade IV B MI Muhammadiyah Klaseman students. The study sample was 22 students in class IV A, with a population of 43. The study's results averaged a pretest score of 57.24 while the average posttest score of 63.47 obtained a significant value, 0.069>0.05, so Ho was accepted, and Ha was rejected.

<![CDATA[The Indonesian Madrasah Competency Assessment/Asesmen Kompetensi Minimum Indonesia (AKMI) is a form of assessment developed in schools under the auspices of the Ministry of Religious Affairs which refers to PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) and the National Assessment (AN) system. This research aims to examine the improvement in AKMI results for Madrasah Ibtidaiyah/Islamic Elementary School (MI) students in 2021 and 2022. The approach used is quantitative descriptive and analyzed in percentage form at each level of proficiency. The author also conducted a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) in 2022 with several teachers in the AKMI Follow-up Instructor Candidate class. The results showed a shift in higher proficiency levels in all types of literacy: reading literacy, scientific literacy, numeracy literacy, and socio-cultural literacy. The increase in proficiency levels in these four types of literacy is influenced by massive Continuous Professional Development/Pengembangan Kompetensi Keberlanjutan (PKB) carried out through teacher working groups (KKG–MGMP/MGBK), working groups of madrasah heads, Kriteria Kelulusan Minimum/Graduate Minimum Criteria (KKM) and supervisory working groups (Pokjawas). In addition, the increase occurred due to the Technical Guidance/Bimbingan Teknis (BIMTEK) follow-up of AKMI results for MI teachers. Through this activity, BIMTEK participants can increase their knowledge about literacy]]>

<![CDATA[Simple fine arts can be an effective and fun way to hone children’s creativity at the elementary school level. By allowing children to express themselves artistically, schools can strengthen their learning experiences and prepare them for broader future challenges. This research aims to explore the influence of simple visual arts on increasing the creativity of elementary/MI children through a Systematic Literature Review with the steps: developing the research question (formulating research questions), developing the search strategy (searching for articles or literature that match the research theme), selection criteria (applying inclusion criteria to select articles), evaluation and analysis data (evaluating and analyzing data), and interpreting (reporting research findings). A total of 22 articles were found that met the inclusion criteria for analysis. The research results show that fine arts can stimulate imagination and self-expression, develop fine motor skills, strengthen observation and concentration abilities, increase self-confidence and intrinsic motivation, and use simple materials for creative activities. Therefore, simple fine arts can be an effective means of developing children’s creativity at the elementary school level, so it is necessary to integrate art into the educational curriculum to improve children’s creative abilities]]>
