Purpose of the study: This study investigated the effect of blended learning and flipped learning strategies on acquiring creative thinking skills at its three levels: fluency, flexibility, and originality by tenth graders in science compared to the traditional method. Methodology: Quasi-experimental method was used. The study was applied to 54 tenth-grade students from a private school who were divided into 3 sections, one of which was control while the other two were experimental. One of the experimental sections studied using the learning through real-world problems method of blended learning (Real World hereafter) while the other used flipped learning's 3D virtual worlds method. Creative thinking was measured by an immediate achievement test, which consisted of thirty questions designed to measure the three creative thinking skills. Moreover, the validity and reliability of the test were verified. Main Findings: The findings yielded significant differences in favor of the experimental groups whose scores mean was noticeably higher. Furthermore, the experimental group that studied using flipped learning demonstrated better performance than that which studied using blended learning. Applications of this study: this research will help to establishment of educational institutions specialized in designing and producing educational 3D virtual activities, such as 3D videos. Such activities need to be suitable for the Arabic educational background and in keeping with its culture and values. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study reviews two learning strategies that allow educational institutions to break free from classroom restrictions and examines the extent of their ability to develop students' creative thinking. Currently, the need for these strategies has been increased by educational institutions, especially after COVID-19.

Time Availability

Educational systems are now focusing on skills enhancement, such as creative thinking skills (CTS), as a means of long-lasting, significant learning. To this end, some universities and higher education institutions incentivize active learning (AL) strategies as CTS developers. Indeed, a positive link among creative results, time availability, and the educational environment has been reported; however, it is mainly based on qualitative and perceptual results. For this reason, we present this comparative, quantitative study in the context of a Mexican high school, weighing the effectiveness of the flipped learning and gamification teaching strategies against a conventional approach. The study revealed no differences in the learning environment; instead, the type of activity and the teamwork interaction affected CTS the most. However, those who participated in the learning Strategies (LS) evaluated themselves higher than their peers in the traditional classes. These results highlight the independence of CTS toward the referred LS and set a departing point for further research addressing the course activities’ qualities seemingly related to CTS enhancement.

The purpose of this study is to determine the differences in learning outcomes of ICT subjects between groups of students who are taught with blended learning strategies and expository who have the ability to think creatively after being controlled by initial knowledge. This research method uses quasi experiment with 2x2 factorial design. Data analysis techniques used two-way ANCOVA at a significant level  = 0.05. The results showed that (1) ICT learning outcomes between groups of students taught with blended learning strategies were higher than those of students who were taught with expository learning strategies after controlling for initial knowledge; (2) there is an interaction effect between learning strategies and the ability to think creatively on ICT learning outcomes after controlling initial knowledge; (3) for students who have high creative thinking skills, ICT learning outcomes among groups of students taught with blended learning strategies are higher than those of students who are taught with expository learning strategies after controlling initial knowledge; (4) for groups of students who have low creative thinking ability, ICT learning outcomes among groups of students who are taught expository learning strategies are higher than groups of students who are taught with blended learning learning strategies after controlling for initial knowledge. Based on the results of this study, to improve the learning outcomes of Information and Communication Technology students are done by implementing BL learning strategies with regard to student characteristics.

High Level

Often we find the fact that skills gaps begin with the basic idea that many jobs exist, but skilled workers do not. The relationship exists between labor readiness, business and industrial development, and educational institutions have been around for a long time. However, this relationship cannot refute the fact that prospective employees are not ready to enter the workplace in the future. The Law of the Republic of Indonesia concerning the national education system addresses the importance of training in creative thinking skills by stating that the education system must develop the potential of students to be religious, respectful, well-educated, and competent in thinking creatively, independently, democratically, and responsibly. While empirical studies show that Indonesian students have unsatisfactory creative thinking skills. This study aims to describe how to train Creative Thinking Skills through project-based learning in preparing the Workforce to face global competition. From the results of the discussion it was concluded: 1) The government needs to be more serious in entering tertiary education and setting targets for maximum workforce readiness. 2) Educational institutions in their learning activities need to improve their mastery of high-level thinking skills in determining their educational success by improving high-level cognitive functions (metacognition, metamemory and metacomprehension, or assessing the truth of one's own memories; solving problems, or taking appropriate steps when dealing with unknown things, and think critically, or evaluate the quality of ideas). 3) For most educators today who are well connected and driven by technology, the mastery of technology literacy in education is still lacking, therefore mastery of technology literacy needs to be improved at the level of the teachers in this country. 4) Potential to integrate Project Based Learning (PBL) in the classroom to improve students' soft skills which in turn will ensure greater results for them in the future. To achieve that, their soft skills need to be improved by using the PBL approach. This approach is relevant to the concept of 21st century learning, especially in education.
