Analysis of Creativity and Innovation of An-Nafira Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Students Through P5RA Market Day Activities

Abstract

This study aims to describe the planning, implementation, and impact of the P5RA Market Day activity on students' creativity and innovation at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah An-Nafira, involving 60 students from grades IV, V, and VI. The study is grounded in the need for experience-based learning that cultivates character, independence, and 21st-century skills among young learners. This research employed a qualitative approach with a naturalistic case study design. The findings indicate that the planning of Market Day was carried out collaboratively by teachers, students, school leaders, and parents through stages of idea identification, production planning, and integration of P5RA values into the project activities. The implementation of Market Day created an active and authentic learning environment in which students demonstrated improved collaboration, communication, and problem-solving abilities. The activity had a significant impact on enhancing students' creativity in producing new products, increasing their decision-making confidence, and fostering essential character values such as independence, honesty, and responsibility. This study concludes that Market Day serves as an effective contextual learning model for developing creativity, innovation, and Islamic character values among elementary-level madrasah students.
