ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to learn the contribution of creative thinking skills to students’ creativity on the enzyme kinetics topic in the Biochemistry Experiment course. The subject of the project-based practical work is 40 students in the Chemistry Program. In the class, the students were asked to do a creative thinking skills test (before and after class) as well as they could, so that their creative products could be assessed. The instruments used were a creative thinking skills test and a creative product rubric. Correlation analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0. The results showed that there is a significant increase in the students’ creativity on the project-based enzyme kinetics experiment using local materials. The increase of the students creative thinking skills shown by the <g> value was 0.46 (intermediate category). The Spearman correlation analysis shows a strong correlation between creative thinking skills and the students’ creativity. It can be concluded that the project-based learning on enzyme kinetics laboratory work can enhance creative thinking skills. Furthermore, creative thinking skills give a high contribution to the students’ creativity.
