Scientific literacy skills play a significant role in helping students clarify basic concepts, build relationships between concepts and reason, and evaluate any information. If students have scientific literacy skills, they are expected to facilitate their practice of scientific explanation skills in scientific activities. It is expected that scientific literacy and explanation skills are interrelated to improve students' creative thinking skills. This study aimed to identify the correlation between scientific literacy skills and scientific explanation skills in empowering creative thinking skills through the Remap-STAD (Reading-Concept Map Student Team Achievement Division) learning model. This study was a quasi-experiment using a non-equivalent pretest-post-test control group design. The sample in this study involved 85 eleventh-grade students in the Natural Sciences majors at SMAN 4 Malang. Scientific literacy and creative thinking skills were assessed using an essay test, while scientific explanation skills were assessed using the science as inquiry assessment rubric developed by Julie Luft. We also used multiple regression tests to analyse the data. The results showed that (a) there was a significant correlation between scientific literacy skills and creative thinking skills; (2) there is a significant correlation between scientific explanation skills and creative thinking skills; (3) there is a significant correlation between scientific literacy skills and scientific explanation skills that have an integral effect on creative thinking skills. The interrelationship between scientific literacy skills, scientific explanation skills, and creative thinking skills can be shown in the regression equation Y= 0.315*X1+0.892*X2+30.110. The findings concluded that Remap-STAD improved students' scientific literacy skills, scientific explanation, and creative thinking skills, which were interrelated. © 2024 Author(s).
