Abstract

This study synthesises interdisciplinary perspectives to examine how Indonesian performing arts function as dynamic cultural–educational ecosystems shaped by aesthetic expression, local wisdom, and creative pedagogical practices. Performing arts serve not only as artistic media but also as cultural spaces where identity, morality, symbolism, and social values are transmitted across generations. Local wisdom embedded in traditional arts strengthens their role in character formation and contextual learning, while contemporary forces such as modernisation, digitalisation, and global cultural flows increasingly influence how these traditions adapt and transform. Using a qualitative thematic-synthesis approach, the study reviews concepts from aesthetics, ethnography, cultural pedagogy, creative studies, and ethnomathematics to map the interconnected functions of performing arts. Four major thematic patterns emerge: aesthetic systems that evolve through symbolic structures and hybrid forms; the presence of moral, spiritual, and communal values; creative processes that mediate innovation while maintaining cultural continuity; and pedagogical potentials that support character development, cultural literacy, and creative reasoning. Overall, the study highlights Indonesian performing arts as an integrated ecosystem that bridges cultural transmission, creativity, and educational transformation. This synthesis provides a conceptual foundation for advancing future research and informing cultural and educational policy aimed at strengthening the sustainability and relevance of traditional performing-arts practices in contemporary contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of music learning in fostering the creativity of Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) students in North Lombok Regency, with a case study conducted at MTs Al Baqiatusshalihat NW Santong. Creativity is conceptualised as a key competency in 21st-century education, encompassing divergent, original, and flexible thinking, and is closely related to the cognitive and affective development of madrasah students. The study employs a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design. The research participants were MTs students who engaged in music learning activities grounded in creative practices, including rhythm exploration, musical improvisation, and simple composition. Students’ creativity data were collected through a creativity test instrument measuring fluency, flexibility, and originality, and were analysed using statistical tests to examine differences before and after the intervention. The findings indicate that music learning has a positive and statistically significant effect on enhancing students’ creativity. These results confirm that music learning functions not only as a means of developing aesthetic skills but also as an effective pedagogical strategy for supporting creativity development among MTs students. Accordingly, this study recommends strengthening music education within the madrasah curriculum as an integral component of holistic and multidisciplinary education
