UPSI-Sekolah Bitara Visual Art Program was a smart, collaborative project involving Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) and SekolahKebangsaanDato’ Kamaruddin, BehrangStesen, Perak. The UPSI’s Sekolah Bitara Visual Art Program was a smart collaborative project held at the SekolahKebangsaanDato’ Kamaruddin, BehrangStesen, Perak. This program was implemented based on the concept of sharing and exchange of the knowledge of visual art involving several teachers and students, aged 8-12. This ‘visual art expression’ program was carried out in several series, which began in 2014 and ended in 2018, consisting of six (6) visual art projects as follows: batik craft, print art, ceramic art, fine metal art, wall murals, and textile art.The program involving art appreciation, textile art, and legacy of art helped exposed students and provided a rich experience for such participants in learning visual art through activities that enhanced their higher-order thinking skills. This six-series project produced 180 visual art works in various disciplines of art, which were put on display at the UPSI’s Art Gallery. In addition, students’ creative wall murals were displayed on the walls of the school building. Surely, such accomplishments signify their innovative and creative thinking that can help develop students holistically with strong intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and physical attributes, which are in line with the aspirations of the National Education Philosophy. Surely, more efforts of similar nature are required in the future to further enhance such a program to develop students who are highly creative, innovative, and competitive.

The Curriculum of 2013 mandates that learning carried out by teachers in the classroom can foster a high-level thinking process including the ability to think creatively. Modules that can help creative students have been developed but not as good as the help of the GeoGebra Software module that can promote student’s creative thinking. This research focuses on the effectiveness of the tangent equation curve module GeoGebra Software assisted which aimed to make the students have the ability to think creatively. The subjects of the research were students of class XI of SMA 3 Banda Aceh. The instruments carried out in this research were creative thinking questions and observation sheets. Data analysis was performed by using descriptive analysis techniques. This research showed that the students' mathematical creative thinking ability was 85.98% which included in very good and good category, and overall student activity reached 91.1%. it means that the activities of students have run well. In conclusion, the teachers and students can use this module to improve mathematical creative thinking skills and the interest of students in learning mathematics assisted by GeoGebra software.

This research is motivated by the difficulties of students in learning teaching materials are considered the main factor in these difficulties, because the material in the textbook seems stiff or tied to the main material in the curriculum so that it does not develop students creative thinking skills. Therefore, the researcher developed a book supporting Arabic writing skills based on the RAFT strategy (Role Audience Format Topic) for eighth grade students of MTs as an effort to foster students creative thinking skills in Arabic writing skills. This research uses qualitative and quantitative research with a research and development design (Research and Development). The research stages that were passed in this study only reached the fifth stage of the ten stages, namely potentials and problems, data collection, product design, design validation, and design revision. The results of this study are as follows. First, teachers and students want the development of books to support Arabic writing skills based on the RAFT strategy for grade VIII students of MTs. Second, this supporting book prototype contains vocabulary, grammar guidelines, examples of writing with RAFT strategy, writing exercises using RAFT strategy and pearls of wisdom. Third, the assessment of the content feasibility aspect obtained an average value of 90.56, the feasibility aspect of presentation was 90.95, the language feasibility aspect was 89.66, and the graphic feasibility aspect was 89.77. The average score of all aspects of book eligibility is 90.23 in the range 86-100 and is in category 4 (very suitable).   Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh kesulitan siswa dalam mempelajari bahan ajar dianggap sebagai faktor utama kesulitan. Hal ini dikarenakan materi pada buku teks pelajaran terkesan kaku atau terikat pada materi pokok dalam kurikulum sehingga kurang mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif siswa.

Student worksheet (LKS) is one of the learning tools that can enable students in learning. LKS mathematics are widely used basically not in accordance with the characteristics of students and yet accommodate the students to develop their creative thinking skills to solve problems. Such circumstances become one of the triggers of low activity of the students than teachers in learning. This fact necessary to find a solution in the form of developing LKS. This solution is realized in the form of developing LKS Discovery Learning valid oriented, practical, and effective. This type of research is the development of research. This study adopts a model McKenny, consisting of the preliminary analysis phase, design phase, and assessment phase. LKS developed validated by linguists, content and construct. Kepratisan seen through the observation of learning implementation, the questionnaire responses of students and teachers. Effectiveness seen through observation of activities and results of students' creative thinking in finding the concept of learning. The results showed that the Discover LKS oriented Learning to fourth grade have developed valid criteria in terms of content, approach, format, and language.
