There needs to be innovations that can help teachers create interesting learning and help students learn independently. The innovations carried out include the development of Civics teaching materials through the development of Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning models. This type of research is research and development using the Plomp approach. In this research, the learning model, learning tools, and instruments needed were developed. Plomp's R&D research steps consist of five development phases, namely (1) initial investigation phase, (2) design phase, (3) realization phase, (4) test, evaluation, and revision phase, and (5) implementation phase. Based on the results of data analysis and research discussion, it can be concluded that the development of the PBL learning model has met the level of validity, practicality and effectiveness to increase students' creativity. The PBL learning models and tools developed have met the criteria of validity with all aspects of validity, practicality in the high category and effectiveness in the high category
