Purpose: This
study aimed to explain creative thinking patterns, including imaginative thinking,
divergent thinking, and lateral thinking of students in scientific work. The
scientific work studied was in the form of the Student Creativity Program at Malang State University, Indonesia.

Research Methods: This study used a qualitative
approach with content analysis method. The data were in the form of sentences, sentence groups,
paragraphs, paragraph clusters, and whole text. The data source of this
research was the writing of
student scientific work. The data were collected
through surveys, documentation studies, and interviews. The
process of data analysis was
grouped into three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and
conclusion drawing.

Findings:
The findings of this study indicated
that (1) the pattern of imaginative thinking in student scientific work appeared in the diversity of ideas based on experience and use of metaphorical
language. Ideas were born through simple propositions in paragraph form. (2) Divergent thinking
patterns in student scientific work could be seen from the
diversity of ideas and techniques for problem solving. Criteria for markers of
divergent thinking patterns were characterized by
originality, flexibility or elaboration. (3) Lateral thinking patterns in
student scientific work could be seen from the use of a variety of unique ideas according to the
complexity of problem solving.

Implications for Research
and Practice: Based
on the results of the study, it can be concluded that creative thinking
patterns of students in scientific work showed the use of various
forms of ideas in accordance with the complexity of problem solving. The
findings of this study contribute to our understanding of the importance of
using creative thinking patterns in scientific writing. However, for further
research it is recommended that we examine creative thinking patterns with
different levels of objects so that the findings of this study appear more
widely in various levels.
