Abstract

The Indonesian government is implementing a new curriculum called the Merdeka curriculum. Merdeka curriculum focuses on project-based learning and is contextual in nature. In addition, Merdeka curriculum also has a program to strengthen the profile of Pancasila students where one aspect is creative thinking. Creative thinking can be defined as a series of processes, including understanding the problem, making guesses and hypotheses about the problem, seeking answers, proposing evidence, and finally reporting the results. This study aims to determine the trend of research publications on creative thinking during the 2019-2022 period. Data were obtained for 2000 research titles taken from the Scopus database with the keyword ^Creative Thinking^ which was then filtered by the publication year 2019-2022. Data mapping using VOSviewer software. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the research topic Creative thinking has a close relationship with students, critical thinking, teaching, engineering education and problem based learning. The results of the visualization show that research on creative thinking in students is still limited to using the problem based learning method. Therefore, to support the implementation of the Merdeka curriculum, the use of project based learning methods needs to be improved.
