PENINGKATAN KREATIVITAS SISWA DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN METODE PRAKTIKUM MEMBATIK PADA MATA PELAJARAN SBdP DI SDN 02 NAMBANGAN LOR

Abstract

This study aims to explore the use of the batik practical method in enhancing students' creativity in the subject of Arts and Crafts (SBdP) at SDN 02 Nambangan Lor. The batik practical method was chosen due to its potential in stimulating students' imagination and creativity. This research was conducted in two cycles using the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method. The results showed that the use of the batik practical method significantly improved students' creative abilities. The average creativity scores of the experimental group showed a significant increase compared to the control group. This improvement was evident through the increase in average scores in each batik practical cycle, which were 31.8% in the pre-cycle, 61.25% in Cycle I, and 89.75% in Cycle II. This study demonstrates that the batik practical method can be an effective alternative in enhancing students' creativity in the SBdP subject. In the context of art education, the batik practical activity provides opportunities for students to develop practical skills and explore their creative potential. Therefore, it is recommended that schools, teachers, principals, and parents fully support the use of the batik practical method. By doing so, it is expected that the quality of SBdP learning can be improved and students' creative potential can be optimized.
