This study aims to analyze the comparative creative thinking abilities of students at SMPN 2 Pangsid by applying the Experiential Learning model as an intervention. The research used a quantitative approach with a pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 20 students from two classes (7A and 8A), selected purposively based on specific criteria. The research instrument was a creative thinking test assessing four main indicators: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ creative thinking scores after the implementation of the Experiential Learning model. Class 7A showed a higher and more stable average score increase compared to class 8A. The Independent Sample t-Test confirmed a significant difference in posttest results between the two classes, despite no significant difference found in the pretest scores. These findings indicate that the Experiential Learning model is effective in enhancing students’ creative thinking skills, especially through active involvement and meaningful real-life learning experiences.
