Development of Creative Thinking Skills Instruments based on local wisdom in Ecology Material

Abstract Creative thinking skills emphasize the aspects of fluency, flexibility, originality, and detail. This study aims to develop a local wisdom-based Creative Thinking Skills Instrument on Ecology Material in the Biology Education Study Program of HKBP Nommensen University, Pematangsiantar. The development stage of the local wisdom-based Creative Thinking Skills instrument is needs analysis, the second stage is designing the local wisdom-based Creative Thinking Skills instrument, the third stage is Development. The validity test obtained a score of 44.67 with valid criteria. The results of a limited trial of the local wisdom-based Creative Thinking Skills instrument in biology learning on ecology material showed that there were 7 (35%) questions that had very high validity, 8 (40%) questions had high validity, 4 (20%) questions had sufficient validity, and 1 (5%) had low validity. From the results of the limited trial, the local wisdom-based Creative Thinking Skills instrument in biology learning was very suitable for use in biology learning on ecology material. Furthermore, from the results of a limited trial of the local wisdom-based Creative Thinking Skills instrument, an average score of 0.724 was obtained with valid criteria. Furthermore, the reliability test results of the local wisdom-based creative thinking skills instrument in a limited product trial obtained ? = 0.972, with very high criteria. This indicates that this local wisdom-based creative thinking skills instrument is highly valid and reliable for development in biology learning on ecological material.
