Sri Mulyanti, Nur Hasanah, Wati Sukmawati

Abstract

Creative thinking skills is one of important skills in 21st century, especially for the teacher in chemistry major, creative thinking skills involved four indicators are originality, fluency, flexibility, and elaboration. This research conducted by online questionnaire from 190 chemistry education students from second semester until eight, the question is about basic chemistry consists of 14 themes. The highest score happen in first theme in first indicator, and the lowest score happen in 11st theme in fourth indicator. The conclusion is the students are in creative category, even though are lowest in elaboration indicator in whole basic chemistry and highest in originality indicator. Basic chemistry knowledge, they mastered in atom and periodic system of elements and low knowledge about physical properties of the solution

Keywords
