Creative thinking skill in the elementary education bibliometric study literature

Abstract

Good education in the 21st-century learning era is education that can stimulate creative thinking skills because students are required to have skills that are not only academic knowledge. Elementary school students find it difficult to convey ideas in the learning process, so creative thinking skills are needed to improve student skills. The study used a bibliometric map of creative thinking skills in elementary schools. The method used was bibliometric analysis using RStudio. The structure and transformation of creative thinking skills literature were found through publication citation analysis, author citation analysis, and word frequency analysis through the Scopus database - documents used as reference sources are articles, proceedings, books, and papers. The analysis results show that creative thinking skills in the context of primary education have improved. Still, there is an urgent need to develop effective strategies and approaches to teaching creative thinking skills at the basic education level. The implications of these findings can help the development of a basic education curriculum that focuses more on developing students' creative thinking skills, which in turn can improve their ability to face future challenges.
