<![CDATA[The observation results at 27 elementary school students indicate that the learning process did not yet support the development of students' creative thinking abilities. Students who recognize cultural diversity will tend to have creative thinking ability. Unfortunately, culture utilization as a source of learning in the school was not optimal, so students were less familiar with the culture in their area. But, creative thinking through learning Project-based Learning (PjBL) model by using local wisdom resource will help students to improve their abilities. This study aims to determine the application of PjBL with science aspects related to community culture (ethnoscience) and the creative thinking abilities improvement of elementary school students. This experimental research design used a pre-test and post-test design control group. The research sample consisted of students fifth-graders Public Elementary School 2 Majasari and Public Elementary School 3 Majasari. Data collection used observation techniques, written tests, questionnaires, and documentation. The positive findings in the normalized gain test analysis of the experimental class and the control class showed a moderate increase of 0.4 and 0.3. The increase in students' creative thinking abilities in the experimental class was higher than in the control class. The results of the study concluded that the application of ethnoscience based PjBL could improve students' creative thinking abilities.]]>

<![CDATA[One strategy that can be done by the teachers to identify fine motoric and art skills is by using brush away technique. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of abdominal brush away activities, to identify the advantages of brush away with other fine motoric activities in fine motoric and art skills of early childhood, and to know the difficulties of children in brush away activities. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection techniques using observation sheet instruments include anecdotal records and interviews. The data analysis in this study is using triangulation method through the description of the observation sheet. The results of this study are brush away technique makes it easy to identify fine motor and art skills for the early childhood, the advantage of brush away is there are some achievements in fine motor and art development in one activity, the children feel difficulty when they are cutting and rubbing the color with the fingers in brush away. In this research, it was found out brush away had just been introduced to the children, so some of them are not perfect when coloring in brush away activities by their fingers. The benefits of this research are as additional new knowledge in identifying fine motor and art skills for kindergarten and as a reference for future research.]]>

<![CDATA[This research is based on the students’ learning achievement in science subject of water cycle topic, which was quite difficult for the students. One of the obstacles facing the teacher was learning media that were lacking updates in relevance to current development. The objectives of this research are to develop, to test the validity, to analyze the effectiveness and the practicality of Unity 3D learning media. Research and Development design based on Borg and Gall is used in this research. The product validity test was carried out by experts through data analysis technique in the form of percentages. The product effectiveness test was carried out with a wide-scale trial using a quasi-experimental design through data analysis technique of students’ learning outcomes improvement by using the n-gain test and students’ ICT literacy with percentages, as well as differences in learning outcomes through t-tests. The product practicality test was done by distributing questionnaires for students’ responses by using a data analysis technique in the form of percentages. The results of this research showed that the validation assessment conducted by media experts was 93.1% and by material experts was 87.5%, with very valid criteria. The effectiveness of the product with the n-gain test was 43% (moderate), and the increase in students' ICT literacy was 12%. There was a significant difference in the post-test result of the experimental and control class through the t-test of 4.3%. The practicality of media was 89% (very practical), based on students’ responses. From those results, it can be concluded that the Unity 3D learning media is effective and practical for improving learning outcomes and ICT literacy for fifth-grade elementary school students.]]>
