Creative thinking is crucial for students in addressing educational and daily challenges. It enables them to analyze problems and generate innovative solutions. The SCT-based e-module supports this development by allowing students to manage learning independently, thereby enhancing comprehension and creative thinking. This study employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach, utilizing the 4D model: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. The aim is to create a valid, practical, and effective SCT-based e-module on buffer solutions. Conducted at SMAN 1 Martapura, the study involved five students in individual trials, 10 in small group trials, and 35 in limited trials. Data analysis showed: (1) Validity reached 84.89%, categorized as highly valid; (2) Practicality was confirmed by student responses (83% in individual trials, 83.5% in small groups) and teacher responses (92.5%), indicating high practicality; (3) Effectiveness was measured through students' creative thinking N-gain scores, which averaged 0.54, signifying moderate effectiveness. These results confirm the SCT-based e-module as an effective tool for fostering students' creative thinking.
