Abstract

This study aims to enhance the creativity of fifth-grade elementary school students through an innovative STEM-based learning medium using flour-based plasticine. This research is motivated by the importance of developing creativity as a key 21st-century skill, which includes flexibility, fluency, elaboration, and originality. The study employed a descriptive quantitative approach with a total of 30 students as the research subjects. Data were collected through multiple-choice tests developed based on creativity indicators, namely flexibility, fluency, elaboration, and originality. The data analysis technique was used to describe students’ creativity levels descriptively. The results showed that students’ creativity was categorized as high across all indicators, with details as follows: flexibility scored 88 (good), fluency 91 (very good), elaboration 78 (fairly good), and originality 91 (very good). The implementation of STEM-based flour plasticine learning media provided an active, contextual, and enjoyable learning experience. This activity encouraged students to explore, innovate, and develop ideas creatively. Therefore, this innovative learning media is effective in improving the creativity of fifth-grade elementary school students.
