This study aimed to determine the effect of the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning model assisted by interactive puzzle media on students’ creative thinking skills in learning cultural heritage. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group design. The sample consisted of 89 fifth-grade students at SDN Sukadami 02, including 46 students in the experimental class and 43 students in the control class. The results showed that the average pretest scores were 50.27 in the experimental class and 54.65 in the control class. The Independent Sample T-Test produced a significance value of 0.062, indicating no significant difference in students’ initial abilities. After the treatment, the average posttest score of the experimental class increased to 94.67, while the control class reached 90.64. The Mann-Whitney U test showed a significance value of <0.001, indicating a significant difference between the two classes. The average N-Gain score was 0.9043 for the experimental class and 0.7894 for the control class, both categorized as high. The Mann-Whitney U test for N-Gain also obtained a significance value of <0.001. Therefore, the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning model assisted by interactive puzzle media significantly improved students’ creative thinking skills in learning cultural heritage.
