Creativity : The Important Power of Writing

Abstract

This academic article aims to propose a learning management approach to promote creative writing capabilities in learners according to the 21^st century learning skills, which are crucial and serve as the first skill in developing individual potential in order to continue the economic, social, cultural, and national development. This article, therefore, compiles learning management concepts from documents and research related to creative writing. Creative writing is a form of writing that requires creativity as a starting point to develop ideas and produce new, unique, and distinctive writing, or adaptations of existing writing that consist of literary beauty and an appropriate blend of content and form, as well as demonstrating the author's identity. Therefore, learning management requires a creative thinking skill training process for learners. Plsek's five-step creative process approach involves preparation, imagination, development, action, and collaborative revision. This process encourages learners to develop creative thinking by examining existing writing to generate different perspectives or adapt the writing to be different from the original. Then choose a strategy to convey the writing appropriately, aesthetically, and prominently.
