Strategi Manajemen Kelas Dalam Meningkatkan Kreativitas Belajar Anak Usia 4-5 Tahun

Abstract

This study aims to describe classroom management strategies to enhance the learning creativity of 4-5-year-old children at RA Mutiara Kragilan, Serang Regency. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach, with the principal, two group A teachers, and 4-5-year-old students as subjects. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that the classroom management strategies implemented by teachers include flexible spatial planning, the allocation of activity corners (art, reading, blocks), the use of varied learning media, and the implementation of consistent routines. Teachers play an active role in creating a safe and enjoyable learning environment that encourages children to express themselves freely. Lesson planning is carried out by considering the individual needs of children and involving a collaborative approach between teachers. The obstacle of limited resources is overcome through teachers' creativity in utilizing simple materials. These findings align with the theories of Vygotsky and Piaget that children's creativity develops through social interaction, environmental support, and concrete and exploratory learning experiences
