Abstract:
Creative thinking skills are important in 21st century learning. In fact, it is still relatively low among students, especially in history learning. Therefore, an innovative learning model is needed to overcome this problem. The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of using the self-directed learning model on students' creative thinking skills. This research method uses a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design. A total of 114 students from grades XI.1, XI.2, XI.3, and XI.7 were the samples in this study. ANCOVA analysis of the results of the creative thinking ability test showed a significance value of 0.000 (0.000 <0.05), which indicates that both the pretest and the learning model simultaneously have a significant effect on students' creative thinking skills. In addition, the analysis of the learning model showed a significance of 0.000 (0.000 <0.05), which means that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. From these results, it can be concluded that the use of the self-directed learning model has a significant effect on students' creative thinking skills in the context of history learning.
