This study aims to: (1) describe the creative thinking skills of fifth grade elementary school students on the ecosystem theme in terms of personality type; (2) Describe the factors that affect the creative thinking ability of fifth grade elementary school students. This research method is a qualitative descriptive research. The subjects in this study were 12 fifth grade students at SDN 26 Singkawang which consisted of 3 students in the sanguine personality type category, 3 students in the chorelic personality type category, 3 students in the melancholic personality type category, and 3 students in the phlegmatic personality type category. The data collection technique in this study was a test technique in the form of a student's creative thinking ability sheet and The non-test technique is in the form of a student personality type questionnaire and interviews. The data analysis technique uses the analysis technique by Miles and Huberman which consists of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that: (1) The creative thinking ability of students in the sanguine personality type did not master the indicators of flexibility and did not master the indicators of fluency, originality, and elaboration. Students with the corelis personality type do not master the indicators of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Students in the melancholic personality type have mastered the elaboration indicator, lack the fluency indicator, and do not master the flexibility and originality indicators. Students in the phlegmatic personality type do not master the indicators of fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration. (2) Factors that affect students' creative thinking abilities are caused by internal and external factors. Internal factors, namely students do not understand the material that has been studied, students do not understand the material about ecosystems, do not like science subjects so that their creative thinking skills are not satisfactory, students are not able to answer and develop their ideas to solve the problems given, and students are less able to answer and develop their ideas to solve the problems given.

One of the elements affecting students' success rates in the learning process is their capacity for mathematical creativity. According to survey findings, pupils still have a limited capacity for mathematical creativity in their learning, as evidenced by the markers of this capacity. This study sought to ascertain how adopting open-ended problem learning models affected students' mathematical and creative thinking skills. This study employs quantitative research and descriptive methodologies. This study employed a research design was quasi-experimental research. The investigation employed a posttest-only control group design. Students in class VII made up the study's population. Class VIIb and VIIc samples were used in this study. Class VIIc serves as the control class and follows a traditional learning approach while Class VIIb serves as the experimental class. Research strategies for gathering data take the shape of tests. t-test data analysis formula. Based on the one-sided test calculation results, it can be seen that the average mathematical creative thinking ability of students using the Open-Ended Problem learning model is higher than the average mathematical creative thinking ability of students using conventional learning models, meaning that there is an influence using the Open-Ended Problem learning model on students' mathematical creative thinking abilities. The study's overall conclusion is the Open-Ended Problem learning approach has an impact on students' mathematical and creative thinking skills.

Advanced calculus is a mandatory subject in the Mathematics Study Program, Faculty of Science and Technology, Jambi University. Advanced Calculus studies functions of multiple variables, ordinary derivatives, partial derivatives, double integrals, fold integrals, applications of double integrals, triple integrals and applications of triple integrals. CPL from the advanced calculus course includes students being able to develop mathematical thinking starting from procedural/computational understanding to a broad understanding including exploration, logical reasoning, generalization, abstraction and formal proof. One learning model that facilitates students to fulfill the CPL for advanced Calculus courses is the project-based learning model (Project-based Learning). It is hoped that the Project-Based Learning model can be a learning alternative to help students think creatively in learning Advanced Calculus. It is hoped that the creative thinking abilities of Mathematics Study Program students will increase and support the fulfillment of CPL courses which will result in the formation of creative and systematic mathematics students who are skilled in solving problems and have the capabilities and competencies needed by the world of work (industry, services and government). The results of the analysis showed that the creative thinking abilities of students in class R001 were classified as creative and 1 group was very creative, while in R002 all groups were classified as very creative. The conclusions of this research show a tendency for students' creative thinking abilities to be in the creative category.

The purpose of this study was to determine the increase of students' creative thinking, which taught using problem-based learning with local culture (PBL-Local Culture). In this study also saw the interaction between students' gender and students' prior mathematics ability. This type of research is quasi-experiment research, using pre-test post-test control group design. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25 through Two-Way ANOVA. The result shows that increasing the creative thinking abilities of students taught using problem-based learning with local culture is significantly higher than the creative thinking abilities of students taught using classical learning. Based on the result, we found that the use of problem-based learning local culture (PBL-Local Culture) offered the opportunity to give student new experience to solving real problems in their daily life, primarily related in their local culture. Students can describe how to solve the daily life problem with mathematically modelling. This learning model has given the facility to students at the end to improve their creative thinking ability. Students make the new model of problem-solving and finally they can solve that problem with their model. This study also found that the factor of students' gender and students' prior mathematics ability has not given the effect of students' creative thinking ability. It means that there is no gap in gender and the contribution of students' prior mathematics ability in students' academic skills. Based on this study, we recommendation of this model to using in other subjects in the learning class and to improving other learning ability, not limited in creative thinking ability.

21st-century education demands adaptive, critical, and innovative students, in line with the Independent Curriculum, which emphasizes essential competencies and the Pancasila Student Profile. However, preliminary learning at SMAN 1 2X11 Enam Lingkung revealed several obstacles in physics learning. The use of information and communication technology (ICT) in electronic Student Worksheets (E-SWS) is still low, students have difficulty understanding measurement material, low interest in reading discourse questions, and students' creative thinking skills are relatively low. This study uses descriptive statistical analysis to describe, summarize, and present data without generalization. The focus of the analysis includes frequency distribution, measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), and measures of dispersion (range, standard deviation). The results of the analysis show that the current SWS is less attractive, is still in printed form, and does not facilitate the development of students' knowledge and creative thinking. Teacher questionnaires also indicate that they have not used electronic SWS and have not integrated ethnoscience and fun learning. Furthermore, the problem regarding the analysis of the context of SWS in real conditions with ideal conditions with an average score of 40% which is still in the low category, students' understanding of the measurement material is very low, with an average score of only 34.16%. Analysis of 31 students shows an average score of the knowledge aspect of 66.1% (mode 55, median 70, distance 100), and the creative thinking ability aspect of 55.6% (mode 50, median 55, distance 35). These data indicate that the level of knowledge and creative thinking ability of students is still low. This finding emphasizes the urgency of learning innovation to achieve the goals of the Independent Curriculum.

This study aims to analyze students' creative thinking skills and scientific attitudes taught by the project-based learning model and guided by ordinary learning. This study used a quasi-experimental method. The population in this study were all fifth-grade students of State Elementary School 132415 Tanjungbalai City for the 2021/2022 Academic Year. The samples were taken in class V A and class V B. The instruments of this research were the science process ability test, creative thinking ability test, and scientific attitude instrument. The data obtained were analyzed using two-way ANOVA. The study showed that the creative thinking ability of students who are taught by project-based learning was better than students who were led by ordinary learning (sig. = 0.000 < 0.005). Moreover, the creative thinking ability of students with a high scientific attitude was better than those with a low scientific attitude. There is an interaction between the two learning models with scientific attitudes influencing creative thinking skills and the most developed creative thinking skills, namely aspects of fluent thinking skills.

So far in physics subjects, especially material that contain many formulas, students have complained about difficulties in accepting the material. This is because the learning model and learning media used are still not in accordance with the material provided. The study aimed to analyze surveys about learning model used in physics lesson and tests using indicators of creative thinking ability specially on the material elasticity. This research is preliminary research with a descriptive research design. This research does not use a hypothetical test design but rather a description research project. The study was conducted on 181 students consisting of: 78 male students and 103 female students. The study uses three instruments to gather data, i.e. a.) a creative thinking test instrument of four indicators flexibility, elaboration, originality and fluency on material elasticity and Hooke law, b.) teacher interview sheet about learning model used in physics lesson, c.) student questionnaire about perspective of physics lesson, learning models and learning media. The results showed the creative thinking ability of students still belongs to the low category. The implication is that teachers must be able to apply appropriate learning models and learning media in the process so that students are able to receive the material well and have the ability to think creatively.

The research intends to analyze the creative thinking abilities of students with an auditory learning style. The research method used is qualitative because it contains descriptions of creative thinking abilities in 3 categories, namely low, high and medium. The research included 35 students in class IV. Data was obtained from the results of tests on creative thinking abilities that had been prepared and non-tests in the form of learning style classification questionnaires. The results of the research show that students with an auditory learning style who have low thinking abilities almost meet flexibility; fluency and detail possessed by students with creative abilities while auditory learning style; then students with high creative abilities have an auditory learning style that meets flexibility and almost meets fluency.

The low creative thinking ability of students in understanding physics concepts, especially in static fluid material, is one of the problems that needs attention in the learning process. Therefore, this study aims to determine how the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model that uses a scientific approach affects students' ability to think creatively about static fluid material. The research method used is a quasi-experimental design with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The research subjects consisted of two eleventh grade high school students, namely the experimental class using the scientific PjBL model and the control class using the Inquiry Learning model, each consisting of 30 students. The research instrument was a descriptive test consisting of eight questions developed based on Torrance's creative thinking indicators, including fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The data obtained were analyzed through normality tests, homogeneity, and N-gain calculations. The results showed that the average N-gain of the experimental class's creative thinking ability was 0.41 (medium category), higher than the control class which only reached 0.29 (low category). Specifically, significant improvements were seen in the fluency and flexibility indicators, while the originality and elaboration indicators also increased although relatively lower. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the scientific PjBL model is more effective in improving students' creative thinking abilities compared to the Inquiry Learning model in static fluid learning. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of physics learning strategies oriented towards strengthening creativity, independence, and active involvement of students in the knowledge construction process.
