ABSTRACT
The 21st century requires students to develop various skills and knowledge. One essential skill to be fostered is creative thinking. The digestive system topic is quite complex and abstract, which results in students having difficulty understanding it. Observations at SMAN 8 Gorontalo and SMAN 1 Gorontalo Senior High School revealed that students' creative thinking skills, including fluency and originality, are still lacking and need to be trained and improved. This study aims to produce learning tools using the SSCS model for digestive system topics with valid, practical, and effective criteria. The developed learning tools include a teaching module, student worksheets, and creative thinking question sheets. The research method used was qualitative descriptive analysis and quantitative data calculation with the Borg and Gall development model. The validity analysis results showed that the teaching module scored 89% (valid category), student worksheets 92% (valid category), and the creative thinking skills test 89%. Practicality analysis results indicated that teacher activity scored an average of 95% (excellent), and student activity 92% (excellent). The effectiveness analysis of the creative thinking test showed a pre-test score of 50% and a post-test score of 88%. Student response results were 88% (excellent). These data indicate that the learning tools developed with the SSCS model can train students' creative thinking skills.
