Creative thinking is an important skill for the 21st century, especially in chemistry education, where students need to approach tough problems in new ways. This review looks at different learning models that can help improve creative thinking in chemistry. We focused on articles from 2015 to 2024, narrowing it down to eight key studies for a closer look. The results show that methods like Project Based Learning and Problem Based Learning, particularly when combined with STEAM elements, greatly aid in building creative thinking skills. These approaches encourage essential qualities like fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Moreover, using scaffolding techniques and incorporating local cultural elements into lessons can boost learning outcomes. However, there are still some challenges to face, like the limited use of these methods in traditional classrooms and the need for more teacher training in innovative teaching styles. This review highlights the value of using varied, student-focused learning models to nurture creativity, providing useful guidance for educators and researchers in the field of chemistry education
