It is necessary to foster the creative thinking skill since elemenetary school level. This research has intended to find out the improvement of the students’ creative thinking by using the model of contextual teaching and learning assisted by pop-up book media. This research is conducted in fifth grade of elementary school with 26 students. The researcher used classroom action research method in 2 cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection techniques that the researcher used are interview, observation, pre-test, and documentation. The researchers used quantitative and qualitative data analysis. The result of this research show that there is improvement of student’ creative-thinking on 6th theme “Heat and Its Displacement” from 54% in the cycle 1 then improve to be 85% in the cycle 2. So, from this research the researchers can conclude that the model of contextual teaching and learning assisted by pop-up book media can improve elementary school students’ creative thinking skill.

Creative thinking required to be facilitated to students in order they are ready to face the challenge in the future which will be more complicated. The student need to motivated to think divergently, including aspects of originality (authentic, uniqueness idea), fluency (continuity of expressing idea), flexibility (capability to expressing different idea), and elaboration (giving explanation toward created idea). This research aimed to develop integrated science learning materials with scientific approach which feseable to facilitate creative thinking skill of grad VII junior high school. This research is development research, that is developing integrated science learning materials with subject Global Warming including (Syllabus, Lesson Plan, Student Work Sheet, Student Text Book, and creative thinking capability test), by using 4D development model. Target of this research is learning instrument which tested on 35 graders VII junior high school with plan One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Data analysis using descriptive qualitative resulting: (a) validation of learning instrument with category valid and very valid; (b) learning realization with good category; (c) positive student response; (d) student creative thinking capability is trained (posttest score 71 which meant creative with N-Gain 0.78). The indicators of creative thinking skill wich get the most significant increase are fluency and flexibility. Elaboration and originality are indicators which have a low increasing score between the pre test and post test. It’s because the student mostly are not able to connect their own concept to make the idea clearer and they only focus on the ideas in the book, therefore almost all of their ideas are just the same. The conclusion of this research is that the integrated science learning instrument with subject of Global Warming is proper to be used to facilitate creative thinking skill. Kemampuan berpikir kreatif perlu dilatihkan kepada siswa agar mereka siap menghadapi tantangan pada masa mendatang yang semakin sulit. Siswa perlu didorong untuk berpikir divergen, yang mencakup aspek originality (keaslian, keunikan ide), fluency (kelancaran dalam mengungkapkan ide), flexibility (kemampuan mengungkapkan ide yang berbeda), dan elaboration (pemberian detail dan penjelasan pada ide yang dibuat). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan perangkat pembelajaran IPA terintegrasi dengan pendekatan saintifik yang layak untuk melatih kemampuan berpikir kreatif siswa SMP kelas VII. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian pengembangan, yakni mengembangkan perangkat pembelajaran IPA terintegrasi materi Pemanasan Global meliputi (silabus, Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran (RPP), Lembar Kerja Siswa (LKS), Buku ajar Siswa (BAS), serta tes kemampuan berpikir kreatif), dengan menggunakan model pengembangan 4D. Sasaran penelitian adalah perangkat pembelajaran yang diuji cobakan pada 35 siswa SMP kelas VII dengan rancangan One-Group Pre test-Post test Design. Analisis data secara deskriptif kualitatif dengan hasil: (a) Validasi perangkat pembelajaran dengan kategori valid dan sangat valid; (b) Keterlaksanaan pembelajaran dengan kategori baik; (c) Respon siswa positif; (d) Kemampuan berpikir kreatif siswa secara umum terlatih (skor post test 71 yang berarti siswa mencapai kriteria kreatif dengan N-gain 0,78). Indikator kemampuan berpikir kreatif yang mengalami peningkatan paling signifikan antara pre test dan post test adalah aspek kelancaran (fluency) dan fleksibilitas (flexibility). Indikator elaborasi (elaboration) dan keaslian (originality) merupakan indikator yang memiliki peningkatan rendah antara pre test dan pos test, karena masih banyak siswa yang belum bisa menghubungkan konsep yang mereka miliki untuk memperjelas ide dan siswa terpaku oleh beberapa hal yang dijelaskan di buku siswa mengenai cara mengatasi permasalahan dalam materi pemanasan global, sehingga ide mereka banyak yang sama. Simpulan penelitian ini, bahwa perangkat pembelajaran IPA terintegrasi materi Pemanasan Global layak digunakan untuk melatihkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused all fields to face a situation that challenging. critical thinking skills must still be integrated into science learning with the situation because it is one aspect of 21st-century learning. An alternative to reducing face-to-face activities is that schools carry out mixed-system learning. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the integration of critical thinking skills in science learning using a blended learning system in elementary schools given the limitations in learning during the covid-19 pandemic. This research is a case qualitative research with descriptive proportion with a sample of 19 elementary school fifth-grade students. Data collection techniques used are observation, documentation, questionnaires, and interviews. Triangulation of sources and techniques used to validate data. The results showed that critical thinking skills in elementary school science learning using a blended learning system are still relatively low with data (Mo<Md<Me), mean = 14.10, and the largest percentage distribution of 47.37%. The percentage of the majority of the questionnaires answered never with details on the aspects of formulating the problem52.63%, analyze arguments and solve problems 48.42%, evaluate 57.89%. In conclusion, the integration of critical thinking skills with blended learning systems in elementary schools in science learning still needs to be considered because there are still obstacles in its implementation. The results of this study have implications for finding solutions to improve critical thinking skills in science learning with blended learning system learning to be more effective. The recommendation in this study is that teachers are more creative in implementing blended learning system learning strategies for success critical thinking skills in learning science students can be achieved well.

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.
