The Art of Creative Writing: Cultivating Imagination and innovation
Main Article Content
Abstract
Creative thinking is an important skill in learning for students. Students are able to think creatively by showing new ways of thinking, having the courage to ask questions and guess answers, and providing new ideas. This research aims to analyze creative thinking skills using series of image media. This research uses descriptive qualitative research with a case study model. The subjects of this research were 50 class III students. Data analysis in this research uses Miles and Huberman theory. 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 a structured interview. Overall research results, the results of creative thinking skills in writing essays using series of image media still need to be re-evaluated. Students still seem to have difficulty expressing ideas into narrative-based writing. This will result in learning to write narratives being hampered. It is proven that more than half of the sample of students still do not meet the four aspects of creative thinking indicators, so this will certainly hinder the learning process in class, especially with regard to writing skills. The implications of this research are that it is hoped that all stakeholders will be able to realize the importance of creative thinking skills from an early age by training students using series of image media or other media.
