Data analysis used the calculation of the creative thinking observation scale followed by an analysis of the percentage of students’ complete learning outcomes. The results show that students’ creative thinking skills increased to a very high category in cycle III. Analysis of the percentage of mastery learning outcomes reaching 90% with the average student score of 74,8 in cycle III.
