The research results show that teachers show significant commitment in facilitating student creativity with an average score of 75%, as well as strong implementation of collaboration with an average score of 85%. Nevertheless, challenges such as limited resources and institutional support are still obstacles that need to be overcome to maximize the effectiveness of 21st century skills development in elementary schools.
