The data shows the strong correlation between creative thinking skill and STEAM readiness with correlation coefficient value 0,622. The aspects of creative thinking skill are potential to make pre-service teacher more prepared to STEAM implementation at school. The better the creative thinking skills of biology pre-service teacher, the more prepared they will be in implementing STEAM later.
