creativity and innovation of the valuable works. This further expectation can
help developing students a sense of confidence and their preparedness to
navigate the real world after graduation. This research used an action research

transformation comprising guidance toward change in the mindset of participants
run quite well; however, there are still many shortcomings, especially in terms
of participants’ commitment and ability to develop the creative product.
Second, the creation of space for the development of creative ideas, through
motivation and awareness of participants, though not yet perfect and there are
still barriers, such as the timing and lecture schedule.
