Abstract

This study aimed to develop a figural creativity assessment instrument based on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) for elementary school students and to examine its validity and reliability. The research employed a Research and Development approach using the 4D model, consisting of define, design, develop, and limited disseminate stages. The participants were elementary school students in Yogyakarta. A limited trial involved 16 students, while the field test involved 106 students. Data were collected using the developed figural creativity test, supported by expert validation sheets and student response questionnaires. Content validity was evaluated through expert judgment, internal validity was analyzed using Spearman rank correlation, and inter-rater reliability was examined using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). The results indicated that the instrument demonstrated high feasibility in psychological, linguistic, and instructional aspects. Internal validity analysis showed significant positive correlations among stimuli and creativity dimensions. Inter-rater reliability showed good agreement for fluency (ICC = 0.646), flexibility (ICC = 0.754), and elaboration (ICC = 0.779), while originality showed lower agreement (ICC = 0.194). Overall, the developed instrument is valid and reliable for assessing figural creativity in elementary school students, although further refinement of originality scoring procedures is recommended.

Abstract

This study aims to integrate ethnomathematics into numeracy instruction in non-formal education settings and to test the effectiveness of its application in improving the numeracy skills of elementary school-aged children through non-formal education, with the goal of creating contextual and meaningful learning experiences. The study was conducted in Sukodono Village, Pacitan, which possesses a wealth of contextual cultural practices that serve as a resource for numeracy learning. The methods used were a mixed-methods study with an ethnographic approach to explore cultural practices, as well as a one-group pretest–posttest pre-experimental design to test improvements in numeracy skills. The research subjects consisted of cultural experts, teachers, elementary school-aged children, and parents, with a sample size of 16 students selected using purposive sampling. Quantitative data were analyzed using a paired samples t-test and N-Gain, while qualitative data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The research findings indicate that various local cultural practices contain mathematical concepts relevant to numeracy learning, such as geometry, measurement, patterns, and comparisons, which were identified in the contexts of agate stones, the Ceprotan traditional ceremony, and Rontek art. The findings suggest a trend toward improved student numeracy skills, as evidenced by moderate N-Gain scores and significant differences in paired t-test results. These findings confirm that the integration of ethnomathematics into numeracy learning not only strengthens contextual conceptual understanding but also serves as a relevant and meaningful alternative learning strategy, particularly within non-formal education pathways rooted in local culture.

Abstract

In the era of 21st-century education, the global challenge of achieving deep learning has become increasingly critical, as many education systems continue to struggle with surface-level learning approaches that prioritize memorization over conceptual understanding and critical thinking. This study aims to describe the implementation of differentiated learning as an effort to achieve deep learning within the context of the Merdeka Curriculum in elementary schools. The research was grounded on the premise that each student possesses distinct characteristics, interests, and learning styles, requiring adaptive teaching approaches to optimize their potential. Differentiated learning aligns with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes flexibility, meaningful learning, and learner autonomy. This research employed a qualitative method with a case study design conducted in a fifth-grade elementary classroom. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed descriptively to obtain a comprehensive picture of differentiated learning practices. The findings reveal that instructional differentiation accommodating visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles enhances students’ active engagement, motivation, and conceptual understanding. Moreover, teachers are better supported in managing inclusive classrooms through varied and meaningful learning strategies. The study concludes that differentiated learning plays a vital role in realizing deep learning, in line with the educational transformation agenda of the Merdeka Curriculum.
