Scrum is a framework that supports the development of various student skills, yet its application in chemistry learning within the Manado local cultural context remains rare. This study aimed to examine the effect of the scrum method, combined with ethnochemistry, on students’ creative thinking skills and entrepreneurial attitudes in green chemistry. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control-group design, the study involved 110 senior high school students in Manado, divided into an experimental group (55 students) using Scrum with ethnochemistry and a control group (55 students) using conventional learning. Data were analyzed using MANOVA and paired sample t-tests. Results showed that the experimental group experienced significant improvements in creative thinking skills and entrepreneurial attitudes compared to the control group. However, the method’s complexity posed challenges that affected its overall implementation. Despite these challenges, the Scrum method within the ethnochemistry context proved to have a positive influence on students’ skills. Therefore, this method is recommended for broader application in schools to enhance students’ creative and entrepreneurial competencies. © 2025, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague.
