This study aimed to investigate the effect of the SIRI (Stimulation, Investigation, Review, and Inference) learning model on Biology students' creative thinking skills. The learning model contains the cultural-educational values of Makassar-Buginese Siri' from Indonesia and has a problem-solving foundation. The experimental design used in this study was a non-equivalent pretest-post-test control group. The study involved 93 students studying Biology Education at Universitas Negeri Makassar. The data were gathered using an essay test designed to assess creative thinking skills. Student responses were evaluated using a rubric for creative thinking skills, and the data were analyzed using ANCOVA at a significance level of 0.05. The research findings suggested that the SIRI learning model affected biology students' ability to think creatively. Additionally, the LSD (Least Significant Difference) test results indicated that the SIRI students' creative thinking skills differed significantly from those of the Problem-Based Learning and conventional students. As a result, the SIRI learning model can help biology students develop their creative thinking skills during the biology learning process. © 2023 American Institute of Physics Inc..
