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]]>
