Abstract: The academic environment in higher education is shaped not only by institutional policies but also by the active contributions of students to the learning process. This research aims to describe the critical thinking skills and creativity of students who play a role in shaping a reflective, collaborative, and innovative academic environment. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a case study method, with the primary subject being students from the Faculty of Education at the State University of Surabaya, who are selected purposively. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation. The results of the study show that critical thinking, including independent thinking and reflective problem-solving, as well as creativity and intrinsic motivation, and skills in certain areas, significantly contribute to creating an active and participatory academic ecosystem.
