PENINGKATAN PRODUKTMTAS PENCIPTAAN CERPEN JAWA MELALUI PENDEKATAN PROSES

Failures in the teaching of Javanese short story writing
are in general induced by the mistake of adopting the approach
that is oriented more to the product rather than to the process.
Consequently, pupils are reluctant to go through a creative
process and frequently lured to take short cuts by both imitating
and plagiarizing somebody else's work.
The aforen~entioned reality could be prevented by
applying a creative process approach in producing Javanese
short stories. This approach illvolves four stages, i.e., (1) the
preparation stage, namcly, that of raising an idea derived from
one's life experiences and from increases reading, (2) the
incubation stage, nainely, that of the maturation of an idea, hy
practicing contemplation of experiences and observatio~~s(3, )
the illuinination stage, namely, that of expressing the idea, and
(4) the verification stage, namely, that or stimulating and
motivating pupils' activities through comparison of their own
works and those of their collectives.
The steps to be taken by the teacher in applying the
process approach are, (1) retelling high-quality Javanese shsort
stories, (2) retelling thcm from different poi~its of view, (3)
reteling them from incomplete original by adding imagined
parts, (4) stimulating pupils' creativily by offering a variety of
t hen~es.
