Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Citizen Science in improving the creative thinking abilities of grade 6 elementary school students in addressing environmental pollution. A total of 50 students were divided into an experimental group that used Citizen Science and a control group that used learning prepared by the Ministry of Education and Culture. The N-Gain score was used to measure the improvement of the students’ creativity. The results showed that the experimental group had a higher N-Gain score of 59.56, indicating medium improvement, compared to the control group with a score of 21.17, indicating low improvement. These findings suggest that Citizen Science can be an effective approach to improve students’ creative thinking abilities and should be considered in environmental education.
