Creativity And Innovation

The gap between expected and actual skillsets to drive workforce creativity and developing innovative products and services in recent times suggests the need for a thorough review of educational policy. The required level of creativity and innovation could be stimulated through educational policy review and effective implementation of action plans to meet expectations in the fourth industrial revolution. A literature review approach was adopted to examine the issues in current education system, as well as the emerging trends within the system to promote creative learning. The findings show that discipline-specific instructional strategies propelled by technological innovations (educational virtual reality games) are essential in stimulating creativity and innovation. Gamification in learning pedagogies not only promotes important academic learning but also builds the skills required for success in the 21st century.

Industrial revolution 4.0 or also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). In facing the 4.0 revolution, someone must have skills, these skills are known as the 4Cs of 21st century learning, namely: communication, collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving, as well as creativity and innovation. These skills can penetrate the teaching and learning process, namely using teaching materials. Teaching materials that are often used are student worksheets. 4C skills can improve the activities that are on student worksheets. This study aims to determine and define the requirements needed in learning with content competence (KI), basic competence (KD), and learning materials according to the 2013 curriculum content standards. This type of research is a four-D model development research, but in This research only reaches the define stage. The subjects of this study were 60 students of class X SMA Negeri 1 Batusangkar. The results showed that developing student worksheets (LKPD) oriented 4C skills in class X semester 1 subjects.

The subject of research in the article is theoretical and methodological principles of the startups ecosystem. The goal is to identify the structural elements of the startups ecosystems in terms of endogenous and exogenous changes in the entrepreneurial environment under the influence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Objectives: characterization of the components of entrepreneurial and innovative ecosystems, investigation of the essence "startup ecosystem" definition, its destructuring, determination of critical conditions for the formation of startups ecosystems and characterization of the above conditions in Ukraine. Common scientific methods are used: comprehensive approach and the systematic method of cognition of the object of study - startups ecosystems, induction and deduction methods for determining the interdependence of ecosystems: entrepreneurial, innovative and ecosystems of startups, decomposition method for the restructuring of startups ecosystems.
