Abstract

The challenges of the current industrial revolution era 4.0 have an impact on the skills that must be possessed by the younger generation, one of which is the ability to think creatively to face fast technological developments. Therefore, the research objective was to observe the effect of volleyball on students' creative thinking skills. The method used was an experimental design with one group of pre-test post-test each. Meanwhile, the research location was a high school, and a sample size of thirty-five students from the tenth grade was selected by cluster random sampling. This research was conducted for two months, with meetings held weekly, resulting in a total of eight sessions. The ability to think creatively was evaluated with the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT), while t-tests were employed for the data analysis. Subsequently, the study results indicated an increase in creative abilities at the application of volleyball during physical education learning. With this research outcome, it is necessary to perform other development studies, which involve utilizing a control group and more interesting strategies. Consequently, mini volleyball modification is suitable to be applied in physical education learning at schools because it provides a sense of comfort, joy, and activity in the game.

Highlights

There are three main aspects of 21st Century Life Skills, including: Learning and Innovation Skills, Life and career skills, and Digital Literacy (Information, Media and Technology Skills) [1]
From the results of the Paired Samples Test which can be seen in Table 2 above, the sig value is 0.000
A different thing happened to physical education learning which was carried out without the mini volleyball game, showing that it was not proven to significantly improve students' creative thinking skills

Summary

Introduction

There are three main aspects of 21st Century Life Skills, including: Learning and Innovation Skills, Life and career skills, and Digital Literacy (Information, Media and Technology Skills) [1]. Based on the competence of the 21st century, the quality of education must be able to produce graduates who can compete globally. To answer the challenges of this era of education must be able to produce graduates who are competitive, innovative, creative, collaborative and characterized. Creative thinking skills are very important in today's modern society, especially in facing the 4.0 industrial revolution because it can make people become more flexible, open, and adaptable to various situations and problems in life [2]. Creative thinking, communication and collaboration are four indicators that indicate Learning and Innovation skills that must be possessed [3]. Creative thinking is important because the initial stage is for people to be able to do critical thinking, which will enable someone to come up with new ideas, ideas and breakthroughs. By having the ability to think creatively, we hope that it will not be difficult to face challenges and be creative in the era of society 5.0 in the future
