Abstract

The objective of this research is to study the effect of science activities based on Creativity-based learning on the scientific creativity of grade-7 students with an average score of not less than 70%. This research is the Pre-experiment design. The target group used in the research was grade 7 students in a school in Kalasin province, semester 1, the academic year 2022, totaling 22 people, which is purposive sampling. The research instruments used in the research were 4 lesson plans based on Creativity-based learning for science and technology subjects in topic of cell, 6 hours, and (2) a subjective assessment of 8 items. This is a scientific creativity with four components: 1) originality, 2) fluency, 3) flexibility, and 4) elaboration. Basic statistics, such as mean, standard deviation, and percentage, were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the students who received science activity management based on Creativity-Based Learning had higher scores in scientific creativity. Furthermore, the scores for 1) originality, 2) fluency, 3) flexibility, and 4) elaboration were 80.64, 81.82, 93.18, and 85.23 percent, respectively. The overall average of all aspects of scientific creativity was 87.22 percent, which was 70 percent higher than the set criteria.
