Abstract

Abstract: The background of this research problem is the lack of development of children's creativity in learning activities because teachers have not optimized the learning methods and media used. Teachers more often give children writing, drawing, and coloring activities or worksheets (LKA). The purpose of this study is to enhance children's creativity through the STEAM method using loose parts media made from recycled materials, with the hope that children will be able to imagine and be confident in developing their creativity. Children who are confident in their imagination are creative children. The method used in this study is classroom action research (CAR) with a qualitative descriptive approach. In this activity, children were trained to utilize recycled materials such as used milk cartons, used plastic packaging, and used bottle caps to create works of art to enhance their creativity in accordance with their imagination at the IT AL HIKMAH kindergarten, by conducting classroom action research to achieve a completion rate of ≥ 75%. After improvements were made, there was a significant increase in children's learning outcomes, with the percentage of learning outcomes in the first cycle increasing from 57.5% to 85.5% in the second cycle. Thus, it can be concluded that research using loose parts media by utilizing used items can develop and enhance the creativity of early childhood at the IT AL HIKMAH kindergarten.Keywords: child creativity, STEAM method, loose parts media Abstrak: Latar belakang masalah penelitian ini adalah belum berkembangnya kreativitas anak dalam kegiatan pembelajaran karena guru belum mengoptimalkan metode pembelajaran dan media yang diguanakan, guru lebih sering memberikan anak dengan kegiatan menulis, menggambar dan mewarnai atau dengan lembar kerja anak (LKA). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kreativitas anak melalui metode STEAM dengan media loose parts dari bahan bekas dan diharapkan anak mampu berimajinasi dan percaya diri dalam mengembangkan kreativitasnya. Anak yang percaya diri dalam berimajinasi merupakan anak yang kreatif. Metode yang digunakan pada penilitian ini adalah Penelitian Tindakan kelas (PTK) dengan pendekatan driskriptif kualitatif. Dalam kegiatan ini anak dilatih untuk memanfaatkan barang bekas seperti kardus susu bekas, plastic kemasan bekas, tutup botol bekas untuk dikreasikan menjadi suatu hasil karya untuk meningkatkan kreativitas anak sesuai dengan imjinasinya di lembaga TK IT AL HIKMAH, dengan cara melakukan penelitian tindakan kelas agar mencapai ketuntasan ≥ 75%. Setelah dilakukan perbaikan, terjadi peningkatan signifikan dalam hasil belajar anak yang mana persentase hasil belajar pada siklus pertama yaitu 57,5% meningkat  menjadi 85,5% pada siklus kedua. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa penelitian dengan menggunakan media Loose part dengan memanfaatkan barang bekas dapat mengembangkan dan meningkatkan kreativitas anak usia dini di TK IT AL HIKMAH.Kata kunci: kreativitas anak, metode STEAM, media losse part

Abstract

This study examines the development and implementation of a character-based learning model designed to foster independence among early childhood learners in Islamic educational settings — specifically Raudhatul Athfal (RA) and PAUD Islam. Grounded in Islamic moral values of amanah (trustworthiness), mas'uliyyah (responsibility), and ta'awun (cooperation), the model integrates structured lesson plans, Islamic narrative big books, and character-themed nasyid (Islamic songs) into daily classroom practice. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the Borg and Gall model (2007), the study was conducted with 10 early childhood educators and their students aged 4–6 years across institutions in Tangerang and Sawangan, Indonesia. Pre- and post-intervention data revealed a significant increase in children's independent behaviors from 37% to 83%, alongside substantial growth in teacher instructional competence and confidence in delivering character-integrated Islamic education. The model demonstrates strong scalability and cultural resonance within Indonesia's Islamic early childhood education system, contributing a pedagogically robust and spiritually grounded framework for character education aligned with national curriculum mandates and Islamic values

Abstract

Early childhood STEM education often remains focused on surface learning, limiting children’s ability to transfer knowledge into meaningful behavior and long-term understanding. This study aimed to investigate how culturally grounded STEM Big Books foster deep learning competencies among children aged 4–6 years in Indonesian early childhood education settings. The study employed a Research and Development design involving 32 teachers and approximately 150 children across several ECE institutions in Indonesia, using pre-post assessment, teacher evaluation, classroom observation, and qualitative reflection data. The findings demonstrated significant improvements across multiple dimensions of the 6Cs framework, particularly character, citizenship, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. Children showed stronger conceptual understanding, spontaneous environmental behavior, collaborative problem-solving, and transfer of learning into home contexts. The study also identified four key mechanisms supporting deep learning: cultural anchoring, narrative embedding, multimodal exposure, and social co-construction. These findings suggest that culturally responsive STEM pedagogy can support transformative learning experiences in early childhood education.
