Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of a digital mind map (DMM) assisted group investigation (GI) on students’ creativity in higher education. A pre-test post-test nonequivalent control group design was employed in this study. The study was conducted in 2019/2020 to 75 fifth semester students from IKIP Budi Utomo Malang, Indonesia. The data were collected using a pre-test and a post-test on students’ creativity. The students’ creative performance was evaluated using a rubric assessing the keywords, material’s completeness, material’s conformity, layout organization, creativity, symbols, and color used in the students' mind maps. Testing for the normality and homogeneity of variance was conducted before the ANCOVA was run to examine the data. The statistical analysis showed a difference between students in the DMM-GI group and students in the DMM-conventional group in terms of creativity. The mean score of the DMM-GI group (79.30) was higher than that of the DMM-conventional group (74.96). Therefore, it can be concluded that the DMM-GI group had better creative performance compared to the DMM-conventional group.
Highlights

The current study showed that the Digital Mind Map Assisted Group Investigation (DMM-GI) effectively improved student’s creativity
It was proven that the mean score obtained by the DMM-GI group was higher than that achieved by the DMMconventional group
Summary
Creativity is the capability to generate new products and ideas to solve problems [1] or to enrich existing knowledge [2]. Enhancing students’ creativity is one of the essential goals of education at universities and colleges [5] It is seen as an urgent need because creativity makes students engaged more actively in learning [6]. One of the active learning models that can be used to enhance students’ creativity is Group Investigation. Digital mind maps serve as a tool that can stimulate students’ creativity and collaboration and improve students’ confidence in contributing ideas in the classroom [30]. Digital Mind Maps can be used in Group Investigation as an evaluation tool. The instructional model resulted from this combination is called Digital Mind Map Assisted Group Investigation (DMM-GI). The current study aimed to investigate the Digital Mind Map (DMM) Assisted Group Investigation GIGI effect on students’ creativity based on the information above
