Abstract
In the era of rapid technological advancement and increasing educational demands, the development of creative thinking skills in students’ physics learning has become a critical focus to enhance higher-order thinking competencies and learning effectiveness. This study discusses research trends on creative thinking skills in physics learning from 2015 to 2024. The research method used is descriptive and analytical using data from Google Scholar. The results of the analysis show fluctuations in the increase in the number of publications during this period, with a decrease in 2019 and 2022 before increasing again in 2023. Key words that often appear in this research include creative thinking skills, physics teacher, PBL, and science learning. These findings make a significant contribution to 21st century education, emphasizing the importance of creative thinking skills in students' understanding of scientific concepts. This research shows that the development of new learning models can facilitate students' creative thinking skills in physics learning. Thus, this research provides insight into research trends that continue to develop and are relevant for improving the quality of education in the future.
