<p style="text-align: justify;">Creative thinking skills are 21st century learning needs that can be applied through the Scientific Reading Based Project (SRBP) model. The purpose of this study is to empower creative thinking skills through SRBP models in science learning in elementary school teachers’ education students. This research is mixed research with qualitative and quantitative approaches. Qualitative research is used to explore students' creative thinking abilities. Quantitative research uses a quasi-experimental approach carried out for six months on the candidates of elementary school teachers’ education. Participants in this study were the candidate of elementary school teachers’ education of 75 people who took the Basic Concept of Science subject. Data collection in this study was through observation, documentation, pre-test, and post-test with essay questions to measure creative thinking skills. The final result of the project is the final product to measure creativity. The data analysis used was an ANOVA test to measure every aspect of creative thinking skill. Qualitative analysis was used to describe the learning process and the final project of creativity. The results showed that there was an increase in creative thinking skills from aspects of flexibility, elaboration, fluency and originality. The SRBP model has a positive effect on improving the ability to think creatively.</p>

This article describes research aimed to reveal the pattern of learning management errors in general preliminary activities carried out by lower grade elementary school teachers and to analyze and address the causes of these errors. The research uses a combination of school action research methods and phenomenology. The subjects of this study were teachers and students in grades 1, 2, and 3 of six elementary schools in the Buluspesantren district of Indonesia in the 2018/2019 academic year. The data sources used in this study are principals, teachers, and students. Data was collected via interviews, observation, and document study and analyzed qualitatively. The study found that the pattern of learning management errors in preliminary activities carried out by lower grade teachers in elementary schools focused on the delivery of learning and on motivational goals and that the causes of learning management errors in the elementary school preprimary teachers were unfamiliarity, forgetting, and not realizing the importance of particular steps. The research suggests that conducting action research using simulation methods would be an effective method for correcting learning management errors in the preliminary activities of elementary school lower grade teachers.
