Abstract

There were some intriguing cases based on the findings at grade B Kindergarten Lab. School UPI Campus District Cibiru. Besides the unmanaged children creative abilities, there were two children having mental disorder. The other, having difficulties interacting with them, they frequently showing aggressive behaviors towards one another, and disrupting the class which later on halting their social-emotional development. The stimulation of creative cognitive behaviors and the application of pragmatic approach to creativity assembled with Elliot-s model of action research aimed to solve those problems and predicted will encourage children overall development also. After continuous treatment with in 3 cycles, they are showing dynamic progress and manage to develop best in the 3rd cycle. Meanwhile, the average occurrence of children creative cognitive skills declines after 1st cycle but somehow makes a little progress in the 3rd cycle. Even though both variables show the same trend, statistically they don-t show good correlations at each other. In conclusion, the pragmatic approach to creativity is somewhat successful to stimulate children-s creative cognitive skills, encourage their overall development, and initiate some changes in classroom climates.
