The problem found in learning is low student learning outcomes. The research aims to determine the effect of a scientific learning model based on Malay culture on improving student learning outcomes. In this research, researchers used a quantitative approach. The sample used was 55 third semester students consisting of 2 classes. Class A is an experimental class with 27 students. Class B is a control class with 28 students. This research was carried out in the Hydrology Course. The data collection technique used is a test. The data analysis technique uses the help of IBM SPSS Statistics 23, namely the normality test, homogeneity test and Independent Sample t-test with a significance level of 5% or 0.05. Based on the research results, the average pretest score for the experimental class was 35.41 and the control class was 35.14. Then given different treatment, the experimental class was taught with a scientific learning model based on Malay culture and the control class with conventional learning. After learning was completed, the average post-test score for the experimental class was 74.85 and the control class was 63.14. After carrying out the Independent Sample t-test, a significant value of 0.000 <0.05 was obtained, so it can be concluded that the scientific learning model based on Malay culture has an effect on improving student learning outcomes.

The crossword puzzle is an efficient approach to increasing student participation in the learning process. This method allows for discussions in both large and small groups, enabling students to actively participate in learning activities. By implementing this active learning method, students can more easily understand the material or lessons presented by the educator. Critical thinking is an essential skill that helps in making logical decisions based on concrete evidence. This process involves formulating problems, searching for arguments, performing deduction and induction, evaluating information, and ultimately making decisions. Currently, many teaching models are introduced by each teacher in schools. The development of education in Indonesia still does not nurture student creativity because schools only measure students' cognitive levels, resulting in low creativity levels among Indonesian students. Using crossword puzzles as a learning medium is proposed as a solution to enhance students' creativity, particularly junior high school students. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the benefits of crossword puzzles as a tool to increase student creativity. This analysis is conducted by gathering various scientific literature sources related to the research variables. The results of the literature review indicate that using crossword puzzles as a learning medium can enhance the creativity of junior high school students.
