The colloid is a chemistry subject matter which is closely related to our daily life. Most of the teachers apply colloidal learning in their classroom only by requiring the students to read and memorize. It gives fewer opportunities for the students to think creatively and they also lack understanding the benefits of learning colloidal subjects. This study aimed to apply Colloid textbooks based on STEM-Cp (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Contextual problems) to train creative thinking skills for chemistry learning in senior high school. This research used the Quasi Pretest-Posttest experiment without the control class. The research instrument used was a test of creative thinking skills. The effectiveness of textbook shown that each component of creative thinking, such as fluency, flexibility, elaboration and originality thinking gets a percentage of 89.20%, 86.31%, 80, 98%, 80.09% and N-gain score of students get value ≥ 0.7 which is 72.22% of students in the high category and 27.78% of students in the medium category.

Profile of students’ creative thinking and conceptual understanding is essential to create an initial description of students’ competencies in overcoming their learning difficulties. The research aims to describe profile of concept understanding and creative thinking skills of 7thgrade students of all SMP Negeri (public junior high school) in Rasau Jaya sub-district, Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan, Indonesia in photosynthesis content. The research uses qualitative descriptive method. The sampling technique employs disproportionate stratified random sampling. Samples consist of 143 students of 7th grade from three SMP Negeri in Rasau Jaya Sub-district, Kuburaya Regency, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The data collection technique utilizes creative thinking skill test in the form of an essay with fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration aspects. Students’ concept understanding test is in the form of four-tier diagnostic test. Data analysis employs descriptive statistics with percentage of creative thinking and conceptual understanding in categories of understanding, partial understanding, misconception, and not understanding. The creative thinking skill percentage of SMPN students in Rasau Jaya, Indonesia in the originality and flexibility aspect is in a fairly creative category, whereas in the elaboration and fluency aspect the category is still less creative. The highest percentage of students’ conceptual understanding is misconception of 45.25% and followed by an understanding of 30.64%, not understand of 13.2%, and partial understanding of 10.97%. The obtained data give evidence that natural sciences (IPA) learning knowledge among junior high school students, especially concept understanding and creative thinking, is still low. Therefore, teachers could develop students’ creative thinking skills so their concept understanding could be improved.

Existing learning has not fully facilitated 4C (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity) skills and there are obstacles for students to encounter in studying biology, especially the material about plant tissue. It happens due to various limitations in achieving basic competency skills. One of the learning approaches that can be used to support 4C skills is the STEM approach which is supported by student worksheets (SW) to guide the learning process. The purpose of this study was to measure the effectiveness of STEM-based SW to train students' creative thinking skills. The research method used is descriptive quantitative and qualitative with one group pre-test and post-test design. The research subjects were 21 students of XI grades at SMAK St.Hendrikus. Data analysis of the N-Gain test of creative thinking skills obtained an average N-gain of 0.7 with a medium category. The N-Gain analysis of creative thinking skills using the T-Test with a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 indicates that STEM-based worksheets are effective in training students' creative thinking skills.

Abstract. This research aims to find out the difference of students’ creative thinking skill using the PjBL learning model and conventional learning model for environmental pollution material. This research is a quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest control group design. The population were all the students of class VII and the sample were 34 students of class VII A and VII C. Data collection techniques used an essay. Data analysis in this study was conducted by t-test. The results showed that (1) creative thinking skill of students taught using PjBL learning model of environmental pollution material are in the moderate category with an average value of 58.23; (2) creative thinking skill of students taught using conventional learning model of environmental pollution are in the low category with an average value of 46.70; (3) there is difference of students’ creative thinking skill using PjBL learning model and conventional learning model of environmental pollution materials where students taught through PjBL learning model have higher creative thinking skills than taught by conventional learning model.Keywords: creative thinking skill, project-based learning, coventional learning.
