This study aims to measure and analyze the creativity of high school students on Magnetic Induction topic through the application of Problem Based Learning (PBL) which are integrated with the Engineering is Elementary (EiE) approach. This quasi-experimental control group design formed research was conducted on students of Darul Imarah 1 Public High School. By using random sampling, grade twelve 2 was chosen as an experimental class and grade twelve 3 was chosen as control class. Student’s creativity was obtained through student’s answers to the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) creativity instrument for three aspects of creativity (elaboration, originality, and fluency). The result of t-test analysis of student’s creativity in the experimental class showed significant differences between both classes. The creativity of the experimental class students was found to be better than the control class for all three aspects of creativity. The result of this study has provided an evidence of empirical results that the models and approaches could increase student’s creativity, so active student learning approaches such as the PBL model have deserved to be used in teaching and learning process and are considered to be carried out in the High School Curriculum.
