This study aimed to examine the increase in early childhood education students’ creativity after participating in digital storytelling learning based on Jember local wisdom in developing learning media for young children. The study was grounded in the need to prepare prospective early childhood teachers to develop digital learning media that are not only technically attractive, but also creative, educational, contextual, and developmentally appropriate. This research employed a quantitative approach with a one group pretest posttest design. The subjects were 11 students of class E0401 enrolled in the Early Childhood Learning Technology course. The instruments consisted of a student creativity rubric and a digital storytelling product assessment rubric. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, paired sample t-test, and N-Gain. The results showed that the mean pretest score was 69.55, categorized as fairly creative, while the mean posttest score increased to 87.09, categorized as highly creative. The paired sample t-test showed a significance value of p < 0.001, and the N-Gain score was 0.58, categorized as moderate. The final student products integrated Jember local wisdom through themes such as Lahbako Dance, Jember town square, suwar-suwir, edamame, Papuma Beach, local markets, and early childhood learning environments in Jember. These findings indicate that digital storytelling based on Jember local wisdom has the potential to improve students’ creativity within the classroom context studied.
