Key words: self-regulation, creative thinking, science learning, bibliometric INTRODUCTION Self-regulation and creative thinking are skills that must be possessed in the 21st century . Ae. Self-regulation is the ability where an individual can systematically focus their thoughts, feelings, and actions to achieve goals . Self-regulation can help students manage their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions to successfully direct their learning experiences . Self-regulation consists of three stages: the first is anticipation before knowledge, which includes task analysis and goal setting. the second is performance control, involving the use of cognitive strategies like practice and elaboration. the third is self-reflection, where students evaluate and develop the reasons for their predetermined learning behaviors . ee Figure . Self-regulation is also described as the ability to assess and develop the dynamic, cyclical, active, and constructive learning behavior of students . , . Self-regulation is the result of a student's decision in learning to acquire information . It is said that self-regulation is a metacognitive process, motivation, and dynamic behavior in learning that involves four main elemental processes: planning, learning, self-assessment, and monitoring . , . Given the importance of self-regulation, this skill is crucial to be nurtured throughout one's life . Self-regulation cannot be acquired naturally. instead, it must be taught and continuously developed . Numerous studies have shown that self-regulation correlates positively with academic performance . , . , . FIGURE 1. Cylic ProcessAo self regulation . , . The self-regulation process in each phase has a different role. In the forward-thinking phase, students set goals, engage in strategic planning, and have a sense of self-efficacy to achieve the set goals. During self-reflection, students engage in self-evaluation and make attributions about their performance . , . Self-evaluation is comparing the results of self-observation with the standards/performance of other people. Positive self-evaluation makes students feel confident about learning and motivates them to continue to be diligent because they believe they are able to make better progress. Meanwhile, attribution is a belief about the causes of successful results . Apart from self-regulation, creative thinking skills are important skills in the 21st century . Ae. Creative thinking skill is one aspect of higher order thinking skills . , . Liu, et al explained that creativity is an indicator of students' cognitive development and is the core output of learning . Lin, et al. stated that creativity is a skill that students need and is a skill that must be focused on in learning. It was explained that creative thinking skills help students in solving everyday problems and help students produce creative ideas needed in various activities . Creative thinking skills are seen as a synthesis between lateral and vertical thinking introduced by De Bono . Lateral thinking refers to discovering new ways of thinking to discover ideas, while vertical thinking relates to developing ideas and comparing those ideas with objectives. This thinking starts from initial generative ideas, not fixed classifications, which then ends in a systematic and selective nature obtained from an approach to finding the most appropriate solution. Meanwhile, lateral thinking produces a wide variety of alternative approaches in generating ideas, it does not have to be correct at every step and does not use fixed categories . Creative thinking skills have several indicators according to Greenstein . , namely curiosity, fluency, originality, elaboration, imagination, flexibility. Suryandari, et al divide aspects of creative thinking skills into four, namely fluency, originality, elaboration, and flexibility . Other literature states that creative thinking skills can be measured using the Creative Thinking Scale (CTS) adapted from Barak & Doppelt . Many studies in the world have examined the role of self-regulation and creative thinking skills in education. For example, in Indonesia, such as research conducted by Suryandari in 2021. Sajidan in 2018. Hidayat & Aurelia in 2023. Santoso, et al in 2022. Rizki, et al in 2022 . Ae. In China researched by Li, et al in 2023. Liu & Xiadong in 2023, and Hu, et al in 2023. Bai & Wang in 2020. Sun et al in 2022 . , . Ae. In the USA researched by Zheng, et al in 2019. Hilpert, et al in 2023. Lu et al in 2022 . Ae. In Canada researched by Daniel, et al in 2023. Aloysius, et al in 2023. Marilyn & Lee in 2023 . , . , . In Korea researched by Lee & Kwon in 2023. Kate et al in 2021. Park & Kim in 2022. Han & Suh in 2022 . Ae.
