<![CDATA[Creative thinking is a skill that students need to develop in 21 st-century education, particularly in the field of chemistry. This study aims to examine the ethnoscience approach in chemistry education to enhance students' creative thinking abilities. The methodology employed for this research is a Literature Review. The literature review focused on articles relevant to the research goals. Articles were sourced from Google Scholar and selected based on specific criteria from Sinta S1-S5, published between January 2019 and December 2024, including those published nationally. A total of nine articles that satisfied the research criteria were identified and evaluated for quality. The findings suggest that the ethnoscience approach can enhance students' creative thinking skills in chemistry across various dimensions such as fluency, flexibility, elaboration, and originality. Subjects that can be taught to students through the ethnoscience approach encompass salt hydrolysis, redox reactions, green chemistry, and colloids. The ethnoscience approach can be integrated into several educational models, including PBL (Problem-Based Learning), PjBL (Project-Based Learning), STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), and Culturally Responsive Transformative Teaching (CRTT).]]>
