Creativity is one of the important elements in learning physics but is rarely studied to find out the effects of teaching applied to increasing creativity. The research is intended to describe the use of The ICARE Practice Based on Worksheet in increasing student creativity in the Physics Education Study Program. The course assessment formally uses The ICARE Practice Based on Worksheet and the Independent Torrance Test for creativity. At the beginning of the lesson given an explanation of work instructions followed by group organizing. The group used the The ICARE Practice Based on Worksheet to conduct physics experiments with the guidance of lecturers. The experimental results of each group were presented by each group and continued with interactive debates between presenters and comparison groups. Input provided by lecturers and students is used to make reports individually. The Independent Torrance Test is given as a pretest and posttest. Increased creativity is an effect of applying the The ICARE Practice Based on Worksheet in experimentation. The gain based test results were obtained from the posttest and pretest ratings. The test results show that improvement through creativity indicators is achieved on Originality, Flexibility, and Elaboration. The indicator has an increase of more than 70 % of the number of students. This increase does not occur in the Fluency indicator.
