This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) which aims to improve creativity and student learning outcomes in Sociology subjects in class XII IPS 4 SMAN 3 Mataram through the application of the reciprocal teaching method. This research was conducted in two cycles, where each cycle consisted of two meetings. The reciprocal teaching method was chosen because it can improve conceptual understanding through active interaction between students and teachers, as well as encourage critical thinking skills. In cycle I, the results of the study showed that the learning process with this method achieved an achievement of 76%, student creativity only reached 36% in the good category, and student learning outcomes that achieved KKM 75 were only 33%. Because it had not met the expected performance indicators, the study was continued to cycle II. In cycle II, there was a significant increase, where the achievement of the learning process increased to 100%, student creativity increased to 80% in the good category, and student learning outcomes showed that 83% of students had achieved KKM. Thus, the results of this study prove that the application of the reciprocal teaching method can significantly improve creativity and student learning outcomes in the Sociology subject of class XII IPS 4 SMAN 3 Mataram.
