Abstract

This study aims to test the suitability of a creativity character construct model for elementary school students within the Pancasila Student Profile Project.  A quantitative approach was applied to public elementary school students in Baubau City, supported by a meta-synthesis to strengthen the conceptual foundation. Findings reveal that students’ creativity develops more effectively through direct experience, idea exploration, and engagement in contextual tasks rather than passive learning. Practice-based indicators are more dominant than abstract ones. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, showing a good model fit. All indicators were found to contribute significantly to the construct, with the highest contribution coming from the ability to create handicrafts from recycled materials and the lowest contribution from adaptability. These findings confirm that students’ creativity is contextual in nature and deeply rooted in authentic, real-life experiences. This study contributes to creativity theory by proposing an empirically validated and practice-oriented construct of creative character, highlighting the importance of strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project within primary education.
