Abstract

This research aims to determine the creative thinking abilities and environmental literacy of students in upper and lower academic groups through an enrichment program. Learning utilizes high-level PJBL-based teaching tools, employing the local potential of Seagrass Plants as a learning resource. High-level PJBL is an innovative learning model with modified learning steps, including the phases: Reading while Underlining, Project Planning, Project Action, Project Expo, and Project Evaluate. This research is a quantitative experiment, using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest. The population in this study is class X students of SMAN Maluku Tengah for the 2023/2024 academic year. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, with a sample of 120 class X students from 4 schools: SMAN 7, SMAN 41, SMAN 42, and SMAN 12 Central Maluku, located on Saparua Island. Data analysis of differences in creative thinking abilities and environmental literacy of students used Ancova and N-Gain, preceded by normality and homogeneity tests. The results of the pretest-posttest scores of creative thinking abilities and environmental literacy of students in the upper and lower academic groups showed a significant difference before and after using high-level PJBL Biology learning tools based on the local potential of seagrass plants in Biology learning enrichment programs.
