Abstract

Creative thinking skills is important to develop because they facilitate students become better prepared to deal with changing situations. These skills are also very important in facing the challenges of the 21st century. This skill can be developed through innovative learning processes trought STEM-Based Learning with Inquiry Learning Models. The aim of this research was to know influence of science, technology, engineering, mathematic (STEM) based biology learning through inquiry learning models towards Creative Thinking Skills. This research was conducted in class X of the Laboratory Senior High School of Malang State University. Class X IPA 1 as a experiment class and class X IPA 3 as a control class. The instrumen of data collection in the form of essay questions. Data analysis was performed with an one-way anakova test. The results of the research of the application of learning STEM based biology learning through inquiry learning models towards students^ creative thinking skills. The results showed differences of creative thinking skill in the experiment class and the control class based on the results of the Anacova test with a significance value of p (= 0,022) <&#945-(0.05). This showed that STEM-Based biology learning through inquiry learning models towards students^ creative thinking skills.
