INTRODUCTION
21st-century skills are skills that students must have in the era of Revolution 4.
As it enters the fourth industrial revolution, having 21st-century skills becomes crucial to meet new demands (Maloy et al.

Knowledge plays a role in mastering technology and vice versa.
In Indonesia, science and technology play an important role in responding to the needs of the 21st century (Redhana, 2.
21stcentury skills are called the 4Cs, namely .
Critical thinking, .

Creative thinking (Santofani & Rosana, 2.
The increase in digital media and tools presented as approaches or learning models for teachers and students has led to an increase in the use of technology in recent years (Chu.

One way to improve students' creative abilities is by applying treatments that can optimally influence their creativity levels.
One treatment that can be applied is the STEAM learning approach, which integrates the fields of Science.

0, creative thinking has become one of students' competencies.
Creativity means students can propose or give birth to new things as a blend of ideas or innovations with existing things, all different from Weak thinking skills of students cause difficulty in solving learning problems.
creative thinking can be improved if encouraged through problem-based learning.
This is because creative thinking enables systematic investigation of problems, organizing challenges, formulating questions innovatively, and initially designing solutions.
Creativity is defined as the ability of students to create or present new things, either in the form of ideas, innovations, or combinations of existing elements, resulting in something different from before (Manobe & Wardani, 2018.
Munandar, 2011.
Ngalimun & Ariani, 2.
Problems in the learning process often arise due to students' low thinking skills (Mulyasa, 2.
From the above explanation, it is clear that creative thinking is critical in physics learning.
By thinking creatively, students can apply the principles in their daily lives.

php/dpe 39000 - 2 A Futuristic STEAM-Integrated PBL Model Enhanced by Digital Technology to Foster High School StudentsAo Creative Thinking in Physics Learning One of the supporting models of creative thinking is the problem-based learning Problem-based learning is when students face complex problems related to learning material.
The tasks vary in pictures, videos, diagrams, or other formats, and the teacher guides students in completing the task.
One example of learning is problembased learning, namely Problem-Based Learning (PBL).
The PBL model integrated with STEAM is expected to positively contribute to developing creative thinking in high school students' understanding of physics concepts.
These expectations include mastery of physics concepts thoroughly, developing critical, collaborative, and creative thinking skills, and applying physics concepts to real-world situations.
Today, many educational institutions face challenges in facilitating adequate physics education at the secondary school level.
Students often have difficulty understanding physics concepts and maintaining an interest in the subject.
In addition, physics learning often focuses only on teaching traditional concepts without giving students sufficient opportunities to develop creative thinking skills (Masbuthoh, 2.
Facts in the field show that physics is considered the most challenging subject and a scourge for Students' ignorance about the usefulness of physics in everyday life causes them to get bored quickly and not interested in physics lessons.
The problems in this context are low student motivation, lack of connection between physics concepts and the real world, and limited opportunities for students to develop creative thinking.
addition, the lack of a STEAM approach in physics learning is an obstacle to integrating various disciplines and the resurgence of student interest.
The STEAM (Science.

approach is the primary focus in improving the quality of education, especially in high school physical education.
This study aims to examine the profile of a STEAM-integrated PBL model specifically designed to encourage creative thinking in secondary school students while learning physics using a literature review.
The model aims to address the identified problems by providing innovative and relevant learning methods and encouraging the development of creative thinking skills through challenging and engaging learning projects.
Therefore, this model profile is expected to impact the quality of secondary school physical education positively.

There is a lack of research that addresses the long-term effectiveness of the STEAM-PBL model in improving students' creative thinking.
Variations in implementing this model at different levels of education are still limited, so further studies are needed to determine its effectiveness in different contexts.
Future Research: To strengthen the results of this study, some recommended future research directions are: Further exploration of the long-term effectiveness of the STEAM-PBL model in developing student creativity and testing the STEAM-PBL model at various levels of education and other subjects to see the sustainability of its impact.
Use more innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence or virtual reality, to implement STEAM-PBL to enhance students' learning experience.
Analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors in implementing this model in different school environments, including teacher constraints and available facilities.
