The form of classical teaching was still the mostly used in teaching and learning form but for certain fields other forms of teaching are needed such as creative problem solving. The purpose of this form of teaching aimed at teaching students to think at a higher order thinking skill, one of which is problem solving that requires creative thinking skills. This study aimed at determining students’ prior knowledge in solving problems creatively using creative problem solving. The focus of this study was a discussion of environmental pollution using the teaching steps of creative problem solving. Respondents were students of Study Program of Biology Education. The research instrument was a discussion sheet with the topic given “environmental pollution”. Data analysis used was descriptive statistics. The results of data study were; (1) the results of the students’ achievement were 6 (34.5%), 7 (20.8%), 5 (17.2%), 8 (13.8%), 4 (10.3%), 3 (3.4%), (2) the results of Creative Problem Solving (CPS) were; clarification 58.6%, ideate 72.4%, and developing 27.6%. It can be concluded that students were less in solving problems creatively in “environmental pollution” material.
