Instructional media is a tool used in the learning process to convey material, information and communicate with students to achieve learning effectiveness. The use of instructional media is also expected to increase students' understanding of the subjects being taught. This study aims to develop instructional media in improving creative thinking skills in early childhood ages 5-6 years. The number of samples in this study was 36 divided into three groups. The first group consisted of three students with different characteristics for the implementation of the one-to-one trial. The second group consists of 6 students for the small group trial. At the same time, the third group consisted of 25 students for field trials. The instruments used were pre-test and post-test. The stages of developing instructional media are carried out in three main stages, namely; 1) conduct needs analysis, 2) develop initial products, 3) expert validation, revisions, and trials. The results showed that effective instructional media could improve early childhood creative thinking skills. For that, it is suggested that teachers become learning developers, not just educators. Therefore an understanding of development research is needed to support the learning process. Implications Educational institutions can take advantage of learning media that have been developed because of the obstacles that students have faced in increasing their creative thinking skills.

Introdução. O papel da meditação sobre distintos aspectos da neurobiologia humana tem recebido maior atenção da comunidade científica, nos últimos anos. Objetivo. O presente artigo tem por objetivo investigar os impactos da prática meditativa sobre a memória e sobre o processo ensino-aprendizagem. Método. Procedeu-se revisão da literatura com estratégia de busca definida no PubMed e no Scielo, utilizando os descritores da plataforma MeSH e operadores booleanos, com os seguintes termos: “Meditation” AND “Memory” e “Meditation” AND “learning”, em inglês e português. Foram incluídos estudos dirigidos ao papel da meditação nos processos de ensino-aprendizagem e nos aspectos neurobiólogos da memória. Resultados. As informações obtidas foram organizadas em três seções: (1) conceitos básicos para o estudo da memória; (2) mecanismos neurais da memória e da aprendizagem e (3) a prática da meditação, incluindo os efeitos sobre a memória e o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Conclusão. Os efeitos benéficos da prática meditativa sobre a construção dos processos ensino-aprendizagem, com destaque para o aprimoramento do equilíbrio emocional, da redução do estresse e da ansiedade, foram descritos, além do incremento da capacidade de concentração, fatores que favorecem a consolidação da memória de longo prazo e, assim, auxiliam na construção do aprendizado.
