Abstract

In the 21st century, scientific creativity stands as a cornerstone of progress and innovation, driving advancements across various fields. Scientific creativity encompasses the ability to think outside the box leading to significant advancements in technology and society. STEM-based teaching materials have gained popularity due to their effectiveness in enhancing students^ logical reasoning and problem-solving abilities. This study aims to develop 1) STEM-based flipbook teaching media on the concept of environmental change material, 2) test the validity of STEM-based flipbook media, 3) test students^ scientific creativity skills after using STEM-based flipbook teaching media. This research method uses research and development (Research and Development) using the ADDIE development model. The instruments involved in this study include validation sheets, essay tests, and teacher and student questionnaires. The STEM-based flipbook on environmental change material created in this study has been shown to enhance students^ scientific creativity skills. This is evidenced by the N-Gain score, which falls within the moderate criteria. Additionally, the flipbook received high validation ratings from both material and media experts, categorizing it as very valid and making it suitable for use in biology education. Statistical tests further confirmed that the flipbook significantly boosts students^ scientific creativity. Both teachers and students provided positive feedback regarding the developed STEM-based flipbook.
