Fine motor skills, which involve movements using the small muscles in the hands and wrists, are essential for everyday tasks such as writing, eating, dressing and playing. These skills develop gradually from birth to adulthood and require practice. Hence, it is expected that through the activity of assembling robots with used goods in early childhood can improve children's fine motor skills, improve hand and eye coordination, dexterity, accuracy, strength, creativity, problem solving, and spatial awareness. This activity was carried out with Darul Ilmi Murni Kindergarten students, starting with coordinating with the teacher, preparing activity materials, and presenting the material while practicing it with students. The results of this activity show that assembling robots from used items is not only fun, but also educational. Children are actively involved in processing simple materials into moving robots, while improving their fine motor skills. This activity can also be an effective and fun way to introduce children to the world of technology and support their essential skills development.

This study explores the policy dynamics surrounding the implementation of the 21st-century skills-based curriculum, focusing on the perceptions and challenges faced by stakeholders at various educational levels. Through semi-structured interviews with teachers, principals, and policymakers, along with policy document analysis, the research identifies a significant gap between national policy design and its practical implementation at the school level. The study reveals that while the national curriculum emphasizes critical competencies such as critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, there is a disconnect between these objectives and their classroom application. The main challenges include limited resources, cultural resistance, and lack of support from regional governments. The findings emphasize the need for a more flexible, context-sensitive curriculum that can be adapted to local needs.

The student worksheet, also known as LKPD, is a crucial element in the educational process inside schools. Nevertheless, several LKPDS fail to satisfy the requirements of being feasible, valid, and successful in enhancing the abilities of science process learners. Furthermore, the absence of stimuli in the LKPD to foster critical thinking among learners is a pressing issue that requires attention. The objective of this project is to create a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) focused Learning Kit and Performance Dashboard (LKPD) that may enhance the scientific process and creative abilities of fourth-grade children in primary school, specifically in relation to plant matter. The study employed the ADDIE Development paradigm, which consists of five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The findings demonstrated that the STEAM-oriented LKPD created had a positive impact on enhancing the science process abilities and fostering creativity among fourth-grade pupils in relation to plant matter. Furthermore, the enthusiasm for acquiring knowledge and the level of scientific literacy also exert a beneficial impact on the science process abilities of individuals. Teachers and learners also evaluate the LKPD for its viability and practicality
