Abstract

Creative thinking skills (CTS) involve sensitivity to problems, consideration of new information, and the generation of unusual ideas, as well as making connections to solve environmental issues. Several studies have shown that students' CTS in Indonesia are still relatively low. Therefore, this study aims to describe the characteristics of student's CTS in biology lessons, particularly in respiratory system material related to smoking habits, and to analyze the application of e-books in improving CTS. This research method is descriptive-quantitative with the research subject 37 high school students in Gresik Regency. The instrument used was a CTS test based on indicators of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration and a questionnaire of students' responses. The analysis technique used was descriptive quantitative. Data from the CTS test results were obtained based on the score rubric and then categorized based on the percentage of CTS of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration indicators. Meanwhile, students' questionnaire data were obtained based on a Likert scale and then categorized based on the percentage of questionnaire results. Research data shows that students' CTS in biology lessons are still low. Fluency and flexibility indicators scored less, the originality indicator was moderate, and the elaboration indicator was not creative. This research confirms that efforts to improve students' CTS can be achieved by implementing interactive learning media, such as e-books, in biology education

Abstract

Creative thinking skills, one of the four components of 21st-century skills, are essential for generating ideas, solving problems, and supporting quality education in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 on quality education. However, the 2022 PISA results show that Indonesia is among the 14 countries with the lowest creative thinking skills. To address this issue, innovative learning tools such as digital mind maps are proposed as a solution. Research indicates that digital concept maps, which have been explored as an innovative learning method, can effectively support the development of creative thinking skills. This study aims to assess the creative thinking skills of biology students in an ecology course, with a focus on the topic of biological control. A descriptive quantitative approach was used, involving 21 biology students as participants. A creative thinking skills test covering aspects of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration was administered to the participants. Data were analyzed using a rubric-based scoring system. The results showed that 57.14% of students had moderate creativity, 28.57% were less creative, and 14.28% were creative. The elaboration indicator received the highest score (69.04%), while flexibility received the lowest score (35.71%). Specifically, the results of the fluency and originality tests were also included in the analysis, highlighting students' strengths and weaknesses in various aspects of creative thinking. To enhance creative thinking skills in ecology courses focused on SDGs, the use of digital mind maps is recommended. These concept maps can help organize concepts, stimulate divergent thinking, and encourage students' creativity by providing a clear structure for visualizing and exploring ideas.
