Scientific creativity skills (SCS) and problem-solving abilities (PSA) are benchmarks in assessing a person's quality in learning 21. SCS and PSA need to be possessed by every student. They can be developed by implementing a model of collaborative creativity learning (CCL) because it can train students in exploring ideas related to problems of geographical phenomena and encourage the active role of students in mastering concepts and analyzing a problem. CCL learning needs to be explored regarding its influence on Scientific Creativity and Problem Solving which is closely related to collaborative learning. This study aimed to determine the effect of the CCL model on the SCS and PSA of high school geography students. The research design in this study used a quasi-experimental study with a post-test only control group and Man Whitney U test, and an Independent-sample T test as data analysis. The research subjects used were class X Social Science-1 and X Social Science-2 as an experimental group using the CCL model, while class X Social Science-3 as a control group using a conventional learning model. The results showed a significant effect from applying the CCL Model on SCS and PSA with a significant score of 0.001 < 0.05. This study proves that applying the CCL Model can develop SCS and PSA.
