Abstract:
This study examines the use of inquiry-based audio-visual podcasts on the creative thinking skills of 11th grade history students at Pakusari State Senior High School. The study population was all 11th grade students from XI1 to XI8 totaling 278 students. Through a homogeneity test, four classes were selected that had almost the same average scores as samples. Classes XI1 and XI3 acted as experimental groups with 68 students, while classes XI5 and XI6 acted as control groups with 68 students. This study used a quasi-experimental design and was analyzed using ANCOVA. The results showed that the use of podcasts significantly improved students' creative thinking skills (sig 0.00 and 0.001). The effect size was in the medium category with a partial eta square of 0.084 for creative thinking skills. The average score of the control class using problem-based learning PowerPoint media was 77.841 for creative thinking skills. The experimental class using podcast media had an average score of 87.918 for creative thinking skills. In conclusion, the use of inquiry-based podcasts has a significant impact on students' creative thinking skills, making it an effective alternative in history education at the secondary school level. Therefore, audio-visual podcasts are recommended as a history teaching medium that prioritizes creative thinking skills.
