Description
Summary:The problem faced in classroom learning was rarely a learning activity that was able to improve creative thinking skills consistently. Therefore, one of the alternatives to the learning activity that could be used as a tool for improving the basic skills needed in this century in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. This study aimed to describe the effectiveness of the STEM learning model in improving the creative thinking skills of students. It was a quasi-experimental research with Posttest-Only Design with Nonequivalent Groups. Based on data analysis, there was an effect of STEM education on students’ creative thinking skills. Based on the research results obtained from students’ creativity varies between low and moderate and the answers to the creativity tests given show lower results than expected. STEM can be recommended as an alternative and approach in learning biology, especially in improving students’ creative thinking abilities. Creative thinking is important to everyone, because to proof of the truth of the formulation of an assessment can be encouraged by way of thinking.
