The data was obtained from the respondents through pre-test and post-test in order to quantify the effects on the students’ creative thinking skills. The results of this study present that the ICARE-U model generally effected the students’ creative thinking skills. Furthermore, the score of N-Gain indicates that students’ creative thinking skills are affected by the average score of 0.7 characterized as the medium. In addition, trough the scalogram as a product of Rasch analysis, it can be concluded that “Muli” has a greater value than “Mekhanai”.
