Abstract
Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of learning design outside the classroom on students' creative thinking skills in social studies learning for fourth-grade elementary school students. This research uses an experimental research method with a quasi-experimental research design non-equivalent control group design. The population of this research is the fourth-grade students of one of the elementary school in Palembang. The samples obtained are the control class in class IVc which consists of 35 students, and the experimental class in class IVa, which consists of 33 students. Data was taken using pretest-posttest and then tested with normality and homogeneity tests. Then given treatment and tested the hypothesis using the independent sample t-test. From the test results, it was found that in testing the dependent variable, the results obtained sig. <0.05, with a score of 0.007 and the result is lower than the significance value. The results of the test state that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means that there is a difference in influence between the experimental class and the control class in creative thinking skills. So, the design of outclass learning is more effective than direct learning in improving students' creative thinking skills in social studies learning.
