Effectiveness of Various Practicum Models in Increasing Students' Scientific Creativity: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Scientific creativity is an important competency in higher education, especially in science and technology. Various practicum models have been developed to increase student creativity. This article aims to systematically review the effectiveness of various practicum models in increasing students' scientific creativity. The method used is a systematic literature review of articles from relevant accredited national journals and reputable international journals in the last 10 years. The results of the review showed that project-based learning, discovery learning, open inquiry, OPPEMEI, and the use of interactive media/virtual laboratory models have a positive impact on increasing students' scientific creativity. The Project-Based Learning model has been proven to be effective and consistent in improving students' scientific creativity. The implication of these findings is the need for the integration of effective practicum models in the Higher Education curriculum to develop students' scientific creativity.
