Development of Scientific Collaborative Learning Model to Improve Scientific Creativity Skills in Science Learning

Abstract

The development of students' scientific creativity skills is of paramount importance in science education, as it fosters conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills that are pertinent to the challenges of the 21st century. The present study aims to develop a Scientific Collaborative Learning model to enhance students' scientific creativity skills regarding circulatory system material. This research utilizes Nieveen's development model, which encompasses a series of stages including preliminary study, design, limited test, revision, field test, and dissemination. The research subjects were grade VIII students from two schools in Jember Regency. The findings indicated that the SCL learning model exhibited a validity level of 94.05%, categorizing it as "Highly valid." The efficacy of the model in enhancing students' scientific creativity skills is evidenced by the N-gain value of 0.71 in the small class test, which falls within the medium category, 0.68 in the large class test, also falling within the medium category, and 0.68 in the dissemination class test, also falling within the medium category. The Scientific Collaborative Learning model has been validated and found to be effective in facilitating science learning, particularly in the context of the circulatory system.
