Abstract
Creative thinking skills are some of the competencies needed in the 21st Century, which is a period that demands transformation, including education. This situation requires people to have the resilience to adapt and survive in this Century. Cultivating creativity in learning activities is very important to strengthen the resilience of students in the future. This study aims to describe the role of authentic learning in students' creative thinking abilities. This study used a quasi-experimental method conducted on 52 Biology Education students in the second semester of classes 2A and 2B. The instructional approach used was authentic learning in the form of designing anti-styrofoam social campaigns. Data analysis techniques involved validity, reliability, and independent t-test using SPSS 20 as a statistical tool. This study used test instruments to measure four aspects of creative thinking abilities. The data collection technique used was an 8 question essay on the subject of Solid Waste Management. The results showed differences in the average ability of creative thinking between groups of students, class 2A with Authentic Learning treatment showed 73.4%, and class 2B as a control showed 46%. A large number of students have difficulty in creative thinking in the elaboration aspect. It is recommended that broader research needs to be done at the elementary and secondary school levels to develop students' creative thinking skills.
