Abstract

Creative thinking ability (CTA) is essential for generating innovative solutions to real-world challenges. This study analyzes high school students' CTA on dynamic fluid topics, focusing on subtopics of flow rate, continuity principle, and Bernoulli's principle. A quantitative survey was conducted with 33 students from a high school in Malang, Indonesia, using a validated essay-based Creative Thinking Ability Test (reliability: 0.880). Descriptive statistics and rubric-based scoring (0–4 scale) categorized CTA levels. Results indicated an overall low CTA (average score: 26.52/100), with flow rate subtopic scoring "very low" (18.18%), while continuity and Bernoulli’s principles scored "low" (34.85% and 26.01%). Indicators like fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration were underdeveloped, as students struggled to generate diverse ideas, link concepts, and elaborate solutions. Dominant teacher-centered learning and fragmented conceptual understanding were identified as contributing factors. The study recommends integrating authentic problem-based learning (aPBL), project-based learning (PjBL), and technology-enhanced simulations to foster CTA. These findings highlight the urgency of reforming physics pedagogy to align with 21st-century skill demands.

Abstract

This study systematically reviews STEM-based learning models and media designed to enhance students’ critical thinking skills. A total of 27 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2020 and 2024 were analyzed using a systematic literature review (SLR) approach. The analysis focused on publication trends, thematic emphases, key findings, and implementation challenges. Results indicate that STEM integration through models such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Inquiry-based learning supports the development of several critical thinking indicators, especially explanation, inference, and decision-making. Quantitative findings from some studies show that improvements are often moderate, with the indicator of advance clarification consistently emerging as the weakest. Media such as worksheets and e-modules are found to facilitate structured inquiry and independent learning, yet their effectiveness remains constrained by limited teacher readiness, short implementation cycles, and challenges in interdisciplinary integration. STEM-based learning contributes positively to critical thinking development, though its impact varies across indicators and contexts. Future studies are recommended to design and evaluate targeted learning models, such as the Clarity Learning Model (CLM), which focuses on strengthening advance clarification while supporting other critical thinking dimensions.
