Abstract

Face painting activities have been widely used as an interactive art form that not only provides entertainment, but also has therapeutic potential in developing children's emotional and social skills, especially for children with special needs. This study aims to explore the implementation of face painting as a strategy to increase the self-confidence of children with special needs in Special Schools (SLB). The method used is a qualitative approach with the techniques used, namely observation and interviews. Participants in this study were teachers, students with special needs, and parents at SLB Kemala Trenggalek. The results of the study showed that face painting activities were able to create a pleasant learning atmosphere, strengthen social interactions, and encourage children to be more confident in expressing themselves. In addition, the involvement of children in the process of choosing the design and color of the face painting also increased their sense of autonomy and personal satisfaction. Children with special needs at SLB Kemala Trenggalek showed their self-confidence by forming face painting in a creative way. This study concludes that face painting can be implemented as an alternative strategy for developing the self-confidence of children with special needs in an inclusive school environment. The recommendation for education practitioners is to utilize creative and interactive methods that can be adapted to the needs of individual children. In addition, the recommendation for schools is as an additional learning model for children so that children are more creative and skilled in developing their qualities, then with face painting children can be creative and express emotions and creative abilities within themselves.

Abstract

The problem faced in learning in elementary school is that the teaching materials used by teachers are still limited to package books and monotonous worksheets, so that students get bored quickly and lack understanding of the context of the material. This condition has an impact on students' low creative thinking skills, especially in generating new ideas and solving problems. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of local wisdom-oriented teaching materials in improving the creative thinking skills of elementary school students. The research method used is quantitative with a one group pretest-posttest design. The subjects of the study were 47 students in grade V of SDN 2 Karangan Trenggalek Regency who were selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was in the form of a questionnaire on creative thinking skills consisting of 22 statements. Data analysis was carried out using a paired sample t-test with the help of SPSS. The results of the study showed a significant increase in students' creative thinking skills after the use of teaching materials based on local wisdom. In the pretest stage, 32% of students were in the high category, 68% in the medium category, and 0% in the low category. After treatment, the posttest results showed that 76% of students were in the high category, 24% in the medium category, and 0% in the low category. The hypothesis test yields a sig value. (2-tailed) 0.000 < 0.05, which means there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results. Thus, it can be concluded that teaching materials oriented to local wisdom are effective in improving the creative thinking skills of elementary school students.
