Creative thinking and
decision-making skills are important issues for the world of education so that
students can face global challenges in the 4.0 revolution era. This study aims
to produce a Creative-Scientific Decision Making Skills (CSDMS) model as a valid,
practical, and effective product to train creative thinking skills and
decision-making skills for prospective physics teacher students. The CSDMS model
has a syntax consisting of 6 phases, namely: 1) problem orientation, 2)
creative exploration, 3) creative elaboration, 4) guiding group investigations,
5) strengthening decision making, and 6) evaluation and reflection. The novelty
of the CSDMS model is contained in the syntax, namely decision making. This
development research uses a development model design adapted from Borg and
Gall, which consists of 3 stages: 1) preliminary stage, 2) model design stage,
and 3) model testing stage. The research instrument consisted of a validation
sheet, an observation sheet, physics material tests on direct current electricity
and magnetism in the form of creative thinking skills, physics material tests
on direct current electricity and magnetism in the form of decision-making
skills, and student response questionnaires. The research sample was 56
students in the physics education study program from HKBP Nommensen University
Pematangsiantar, HKBP Nommensen University Medan, and Darma Agung University. Methods
of data collection through validation of experts/experts, documentation, tests,
and interviews. Data analysis techniques using descriptive
quantitative-qualitative, n-gain, paired t-test, and independent t-test. The
results showed that: 1) the CSDMS model was valid, both in terms of content and
constructs, 2) the CSDMS model had met the practical criteria in terms of
learning implementation in a suitable category, and 3) the CSDMS model met the
effective criteria in terms of average n-gain skills. Creative thinking in the
high category, decision-making skills in the medium category, consistent with
the average n-gain not significantly different in each university, and student
responses in the excellent category. It was concluded that the CSDMS model was
feasible for improving students' creative thinking and decision-making skills.
