Analysis of Students’ Creative Thinking Skills from the Perspective of Environmental Literacy and Digital Literacy Influence

Abstract

This research aims to determine the extent of the influence of environmental literacy and digital literacy on students’ creative thinking abilities. The objectives of this study are as follows to determine the influence of both environmental literacy and digital literacy on students’ creative thinking abilities. This research employed a quantitative method with a survey research design. Data collection techniques included test questions and questionnaires. The population of this study consisted of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Buay Pemuka Peliung in the academic year 2023/2024. The sample representing the population was determined using the Slovin formula. Hypothesis testing was carried out using simple linear regression testing, multiple linear regression testing, partial testing, simultaneous testing, and coefficient of determination testing. Based on the results of the multiple linear regression hypothesis test, it was found that there was no significant influence of environmental literacy on students’ creative thinking abilities with a partial test result of 0.662 > 0.05. Similarly, there was no significant influence of digital literacy on students’ creative thinking abilities with a partial test result of 0.510 > 0.05. Furthermore, there was no significant influence of both environmental literacy and digital literacy on students’ creative thinking abilities with a simultaneous test result of 0.763 > 0.05. Suggestions for future research include identifying variables that are more suitable for measuring the influence of environmental literacy and digital literacy.
