Abstract

Teachers are role models for their students. Creative teachers determine the presence of creative students. This study aims to provide a thick description of what a creative history teacher is like and how they do history learning. Data were collected from three SMA Lab school in Jakarta and Bekasi using a qualitative case study methodology through observation, interviews, and documents. As a preliminary study, the results of the study indicate that the background of family life, education, and experience greatly determines the creativity of teachers in the learning process. As creative teachers, they do not hesitate to teach their students using new techniques and ideas: using banknotes of different denominations to explain historical methods of source criticism and how facts can be obtained, making virtual videos by students, and practicing historical thinking through role-play techniques. These findings are useful for the development of history learning and how creative teachers are important in history learning.
