From Originality to Impact: Assessing Student Creativity with Project-Based Learning

Abstract

This descriptive quantitative research aimed to strengthen the creative dimension of the Pancasila Student Profile by applying a project-based learning model. The study involved class IV B students from an elementary school in Sidoarjo, where they worked on a poster series project with the theme of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. Data collection used a creative dimension Pancasila Student Profile questionnaire sheet, an observation sheet, and a serial poster assessment sheet. The study found that the poster series successfully reflected the theme and could be disseminated in the school environment as a reflection of the profile of Pancasila students. Moreover, the students' creative dimension improved significantly, with scores increasing from 52 to 82 in stages 1-4. This project has implications for increasing students' creativity and their understanding of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika and can be utilized for ongoing projects with different themes.
