Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatan pemahaman Nature of Science (NOS) dan keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa SMP menggunakan pendekatan explicit-reflective. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas VII di salah satu SMP Negeri di kota Bandung. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode weak experiment dengan desain one-group pretest-posttest design. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan soal pemahaman Nature of Science dan keterampilan berpikir kreatif berbentuk essai yang diberikan sebelum (pretest) dan sesudah pembelajaran menggunakan pendekatan explicit-reflective (posttest), serta angket tanggapan siswa. Pembelajaran menggunakan pendekatan explicit-reflective dalam penelitian ini dilakukan dengan 4 tahapan yaitu (1) black box, (2) tracky tracks, (3) puzzle solving activitities, dan (4) reflection. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa setelah penerapan pendekatan explicit-reflective pemahaman Nature of Science mengalami peningkatan secara signifikan dengan nilai gain sebesar 0,53 (kategori sedang) dan keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa mengalami peningkatan secara signifikan dengan nilai gain sebesar 0,42 (kategori sedang). Peningkatan ini didukung oleh tanggapan positif dari terhadap implementasi pembelajaran menggunakan pendekatan explicit-reflective. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pendekatan explicit-reflective dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman Nature of science dan keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa SMP. --- The purpose of this study was to improve the understanding of Nature of Science and creative thinking skills of students in junior high school by using explicit-reflective approach. The subjects were grade seven students in one of junior high school in Bandung. This study used weak experiment method with one-group pretest-posttest design. Data was collected by using essay test of understanding nature of science and creative thinking skills were given before and after implementating explicit-reflective approach in learning process, and questionnaire. The Learning process by using explicit-reflective approach in this study which were conducted in 4 steps namelys (1) black box, (2) tracky tracks, (3) puzzle solving activities, and (4) reflection.

This improvement was supported by positive respond from the students about the implementation of explicit reflective approach in learning process. It can be concluded that explicit-reflective approach can be used to improve the student's understanding of Nature of Science and creative thinking skills.
