ANALISIS IMPLEMENTASI PENDEKATAN PEMBELAJARA MENDALAM MELALUI KREATIVITAS SISWA PADA MATA PELAJARAN SENI RUPA DI KELAS IV SD INPRES PERUMNAS

This study explores the implementation of Deep Learning as a pedagogical
approach to supporting student creativity in fourth-grade Fine Arts education
at SD Inpres Perumnas Palu. A qualitative single-case study was conducted
involving one Fine Arts teacher and 25 fourth-grade students. Data were
collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with the
teacher and selected students, and documentation, and were analysed using the
interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data
display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings showed that the
Deep Learning approach was enacted through five interconnected stages:
learning planning, stimulus and orientation, idea exploration, the creative
process, and reflection. The use of recycled plastic bottles as functional flower
pots connected artistic expression with environmental awareness, practical
design, and students’ everyday experiences. Students displayed creative
behaviours through fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration, as
reflected in alternative sketches, modified designs, varied decorative choices,
functional features, and revisions after feedback. However, student
participation was uneven; while some students worked independently, others
required examples, encouragement, repeated prompts, or practical assistance.
Teacher facilitation through reflective questioning, feedback, motivation, and
differentiated scaffolding was therefore important in supporting meaningful
participation. The study illustrates how Deep Learning can support contextual
and creativity-oriented Fine Arts learning using accessible recycled materials.
